Comment headings. I feel the text in the orange header could be included just because of how ridiculously tiny it is.

I bet the code is nearly unmaintainable too.

A cheap VPS from Digital Ocean or Vultr might be all you need.

Curious about the coorelation between scalability and performant vs over time and over budget. Of course scalable and performant is nice. I have also been on teams that delivered absolutely nothing because the KPIs were more important than

One day you will look back at your current state and either be amazed that you stuck through your current state to get to some new chapter, or wonder what would have happened if you hadn't given up. This kind of thing is supposed to be

I feel that. I have even done that myself. Typically written by folks who aren't even aware of the problems they are trying to solve, no tests, and event and timer leaks.

I don't know how this compares to your i7, but I dabble around using Pro Tools w/ about 15 or 20 tracks at a time with several effects running in unison, on an M1 Pro processor w/ only 16 gigs RAM, and I typically stay under

It had work in it that I put in before, but it wasn't entirely all mine, nor did it have all the original work I put in the first time.

That part is understandable. Perfecting your craft requires many hours of hard work and dedication, and you can never know everything. For me, I work on a lot of open-source as side projects, so there's always the coding "somethin

I have been caught off-guard by coding tasks in the middle of an interview that I thought was more geared for casual conversation, and it's not always a comfortable feeling, but sometimes it can prevent either party from wasting a lot

An interactive whiteboard / live coding session is by far greater than any homework assignment, in my opinion. W/ an interactive session, you get instant feedback (either verbally or via emotional cues) into what they are expectin

Fair point, though nobody is obligated to pay a year's salary to a candidate that didn't work out.

I understand what you're saying, however, I think that a lot of the criteria used in these homework assignments can instead be worked out via some conversation to judge the depth of knowledge and culture fit. I've passed tech inte

The next time any recruiter asks me to do a "homework" assignment, I will ask them to write me a 15-page essay explaining how that homework assignment will actually be used, to what extent it will be reviewed, and what criteria it

It would be interesting if Google tweaked their Chromium licensing so that Edge couldn't use it. Then Microsoft wouldn't have a browser at all.

What about Safari? From my experience, most WebRTC issues (i.e. Teams) are involved around Safari instead of Firefox or Chrome, provided the SDP negotiation is sequenced correctly.

When clicking the link in Chrome on macOS, it goes into an infinite URL redirect loop w/ one of the URLs being "unsupported browser." This didn't happen the first time I clicked the link, by the way. It occurred on the s

I use React a lot, as well as hooks (though, generally, I find that many hooks aren't even necessary w/ a bit of refactoring of the app logic). With that in mind, I wonder how difficult it will be for them to add signal support in

I wonder the implications of asking ChatGPT to come up with an alternate version of each page and saying that I wrote it instead.

I agree with this. Having had the experience of being dowmvoted when asking an honest question in a comment, and receiving a downvote instead, makes me a bit apprenhensive to ask questions at all. If someone doesn't agree with somethin

It is indeed there. I missed it earlier as I was scrambling to find a "settings" link and somehow missed that this was, in fact, the settings page.

by jzombie 4y ago
Sorry, I was mistaken. I didn't notice the setting for some reason, though it is enabled to "yes". --- To clarify, I thought there may have been an additional page that was the "settings" page. It's been a lon

by jzombie 4y ago
I am pretty sure that I don't have a settings page available on my account as silly as that sounds. Hopefully someone else can back me up on that, but it might not be an available feature unless you have a certain amount of karma.

I sometimes want to see the content of dead posts or comments. Either the post link has been removed entirely or the comment was dimmed to oblivion and I have to resort to dark magic to read them.

This looks really interesting. I was thinking a few hours ago that I needed something to better organize some thoughts, and this looks like it can offer some incredible insights after jotting some of them down.

No reason whatsoever to pay that fine, nor would Russia even be able to collect it without some third party acting as a proxy.
