Yeah, there are likely 3 categories of people currently waiting on the vaccine. 1. People who watched how chaotic it was to get a vaccine at first, and tuned out. They might not know how easy it is to get one now in most of the US, so some

The conversations I had with multiple recruiters who were having trouble placing candidates with clients because they were getting hired elsewhere faster than they could even finish interviewing them. I didn't envy their position. This

This is the normal progression. A new technology comes along, and folks are so happy to use it everywhere that they teach new people to use it, without any understanding of why it's useful or what it was made to fix. And they have

There's enough publishing a range that I only apply to those. Unless the company gives a range, or asks as part of the application for your target salary, I just don't apply. But not everyone is in a career position to do that.

Given the ludicrousness of the tech interview process, if I have to wait for the offer to ask about company culture, that's too late. I've already put in a dozen hours on the rest of the steps, and passed countless gates, only t

This is a lot of companies, but this is not every company. Yes, they probably can't get into specifics with avoid harming worker privacy, but if they have to spend their time obfuscating their culture, I probably don't want to w

Previously the easiest way to bring down an entire AWS Region involved just waiting for AWS to take down the region on you. They stopped using VA as their guinea pig, but they took it down so many times that many of us started spanning acro

The biggest problem in this game is the networking. It seems to have the same sort of networking issues Age of Empires did before the HD revamp, except worse. Once you hit a 100+ units for each player, the gameplay slows down dramatically.

I'm not very familiar with machine learning setups, but in general with hosts you trade SLA for pricing. You trade the 99.999% uptime and data consistency of hyperscaled hosts for cheaper pricing at smaller hosts. Assuming you can back

Most apps could really be Progressive Web Apps, using html css and javascript with local caching and storage. Both angular and react can handle running PWAs as do many other frameworks, and it's not rocket science to make a PWA. Even P

I've used 2 different generations of Intel NUCs as home servers for running VMs and a media server. This time around I got an Asus PN50 and I'm quite happy with it.

One time I bought a Nissan Versa. It had a Continuously Variable Transmission in it. They knew that they broke constantly, and they sold it anyway. They lied to me and said my transmission was fine a few months before the warranty was over,

I would call it that, but Youtube Music is not just a rebranded service. * Instead of a library of songs to listen to, you're listening youtube videos without the video. I make playlists with them and songs disappear randomly. * The p

AWS is just one of hundreds if not thousands of hosting services. Is GoDaddy allowed to terminate someone's account? Linode? The 1 employee host I use in Chicago? AWS is one of the biggest hosts on the web, but they're still just
