The Ford software seems fine. The latest update to the Mach-E lets me control many things onscreen with a physical knob, which is great (and I think not something Teslas do), and I want Apple CarPlay for everything else anyway.

Every full-day on-site interview for an engineering role I’ve done results in me being pretty exhausted, even when there’s minimal technical questions. My theory, which maybe is slightly related to this article, is that thinking through all

Steve Jobs studied movement efficiency, and that’s was why he called the Macintosh a “bicycle for the mind” https://www.themarginalian.org/2011/12/21/steve-jobs-bicycle...

Bingo. If your cover letter has a lie in it detected during the first phone call, you’re out as a candidate. If your cover letter is so generic that it doesn’t have any personal connection to why you’re interested in the position, it’s prob

As another commenter said, it clearly points out many people shotgunning job apps. Maybe that will change with AI. But I bet there will be pretty easy ways to detect that - if nothing else, during the first step in the hiring process.

Yes, I read cover letters. If you think a successful cover letter talks about being deeply passionate or otherwise over-the-moon about the company, your understanding of what signal they give is misguided in my opinion. I look just for some

The German healthcare system was surprising to me. It was affordable, it was fairly honest, and our anecdotal experience was not as good as most experienced we’ve had in the USA. A few examples for those wondering: * the total cost for over

I don’t understand the hours expected of healthcare professionals in the USA. It sounds like madness and a definite route to burnout. Why don’t the professional organizations and other groups mandate serious reform for this? Have more reaso

I must admit this was very useful for me, too. Not just for making friends, but living semi-on-your-own, having some familiar but mostly new faces, and the excitement of certain activities. Since you didn’t choose that road, don’t beat your

The end of Office Space did. Not that the ending was too serious a take, but I think there was at least a little sincerity to the idea that physical labor might be more enjoyable than a desk job for some people.

+1 to this. Our small company hired our first full-time junior dev last year. They’ve been a fantastic addition to the team. We have also been doing 100% remote for over a decade, so our existing processes helped I imagine, too. But I’ve go

Do we know for sure that there’s not enough to make all depositors whole, all assets considered? Or is it just that they can’t quickly liquidate things to get to the total? I had read a summary of a Kleiner Perkins analysis recently that sa

I have run the experiment, and Crunchy Data’s Postgres servers are 4X more bang for the buck than Heroku’s. I let some folks at Heroku know this who are product managers, and they are investigating it… but I would be shocked if Heroku gets

Thanks! I have talked with two Heroku folks who say (to me, a paying customer of Heroku Enterprise) that Heroku is absolutely in active development. I let them know they need to demonstrate that to me. They have a roadmap [1], but it seems

I agree. And I know this is unpopular, but I think none of these companies should be expected to have a free tier. A low-cost tier? Certainly. Perhaps even a free trial with a credit card? Great. But our team, who has used Heroku for over a

And this existed long before Mac OS X, too - it goes pretty much all the way back to the inception of the Mac. Even back with MacOS 6 vs Windows 95 when I was a child, I could easily see the difference.

By school class, do you mean the hundreds of young people graduating in your grade? I can think of no more than 5% of my class doing it, and I graduated in the first half of the ‘00s in the USA.

Agreed. On every PR we make, we have a template in the description to remind the author to document if we’ve taken out any technical debt. (And the author could list tech debt they’ve paid down, too) It’s a useful reminder that it’s there t

We define this term on our team, and talk about it every time a new teammate joins our team and participated in our once-per-sprint tech debt discussion. Working from the same definition helps this. And I don’t know why tech debt would even

Is there any indication chicken farmers are seeing a massive influx of money? Or is it just the companies that control the pricing to customers at grocery stores seeing the extra money, while farmers don’t make much more?

They list an ARM64 Ubuntu image in their gallery - https://mac.getutm.app/gallery/ubuntu-20-04 - but there is no download link. Any idea how to get that? I would love to give it a shot.
