It's working fine for me here (Firefox private window on OSX). I did have to go to the extension's settings and enable "Run in Private Windows".

Same for me. I can't code as effectively with lyrics in the music. Postrock hits the sweet spot for me.

Same. I learned through experience to ask for a candidate to write a couple of lines of code. Usually it's just some simple question that requires a single loop. We explicitly tell them they can use any language including one they wan

I'm still on the fence. I could use a new laptop but everything I've looked at doesn't live up to what I would hope for in terms of battery life and specs. The M1 seems to fit the bill. But I'm hesitant to buy into som

Nice. I've had this in my ~/.gitconfig for a while for cases where I want to see how branches merged in my history: [alias] lg = log --graph --pretty=format:'%C(red)%h%Creset -%C(yellow)%d%Creset %s %Cgreen(%cr)

Next laptop for me is going to be from a company that explicitly supports linux. Probably dell or lenovo. A lot of people like to rag on Ubuntu. I agree with some of the criticisms. But the one thing they have done right is broker partne

will be interesting to see how these fare for developer workloads, but dropping 2 usb ports on one side of the laptop is annoying.

Writing (and reading!) my thoughts in a journal really helps in a few ways: * It avoids getting into a negative cycle. When I feel good, I read what I wrote when I wasn't and reflect. Next time I'm feeling not well, reading how

What makes Schwab's implementation with a hard token not "real"?

by jrib 6y ago
You can optionally input it at the end of your password. If you don't then they will prompt you for it. The option to append it to your password when logging in saves you from having to fill out two input boxes.

They offer a physical token if you call and ask for it. They also offer the option of using some Symantec app as a second factor but I've never tried that. https://www.schwab.com/help/two-factor-authentication

I've heard it stated as: 1. Reduce 2. Reuse 3. Recycle In that order!

Yeah, I guess you'd always have to plan for everything possibly costing ceil(advertisedCost).

Or get rid of all change! A while ago I read an article that proposed replacing change with a chance to get a dollar. So instead of 13 cents due to you: 1. you generate a random number from 1 to 100 2. if the number is <= 13, you get a d

I have the same gripe with auto-flush toilets. The ones where I work tend to be over-zealous meaning they flush to early and need to be flushed again when you are done.

I agree. This is a great design. Seems pretty universal to me; doesn't rely on choosing a language.

I've found that truly reading something is not a passive activity. To be most effective, I need to frequently reflect; reread; and rephrase, often in written form. Also see the Feynman Technique: https://fs.blog/2012&#x
