Is anyone else obsessed with bells? I fucking love bells. Genuinely my favorite thing in the world is finding big bells and sitting somewhere near them while they're struck. I really want to explore this interest more some day, like if

Using vscode wasn't a red flag, using a different IDE was just a green flag. Everyone uses vscode, I wouldn't hold it against anyone for doing so, especially not a junior. But picking a different tool exhibits a unique level of in

The interview has various portions, given in sequence. The ones who got the furthest (or ran out our interview to where we had to invent "new fun bits" on the fly) were the ones who I mean when I say "performed best." Th

Good juniors are cheaper and faster to find. A REALLY good junior will jolt your seniors awake with professional competitiveness as the junior starts finding ways to make a name for themselves - or even just a fresh pair of eyes on the app,

I noticed I had an immediate bias against candidates that showed up to interviews using Windows (except for one person who was in WSL and seemed very comfortable in bash), or, not having their SSH key set up for cloning the github repo we u

If you do wrote that blog, I'd love to read it! My email is in my bio if you get time to start it.

Don't I know it. The problem is as soon as we truck out the big words - anti-fascism, anti-capitalism, the statist propaganda kicks in and our uphill battle just turned into a upcliff battle.

The massive supply chain for transistors / chips is something I chew on as one of the big unsolved problems of localization of supply chains, something I think most communities (and nations) should be taking very seriously in the face

Unfortunately the fight seems to be enormous . It's not just this little slice of computing freedom, it's all the random bullshit that various world governments get up to that I keep seeing in EFF newsletters: big tech enforcing

I've messed around with funky phones, and after having an emergency call fail on two different ones, I've decided not to mess about with them anymore (GrapheneOS on some random pixel and a funky e-ink phone). Maybe it works great

It is a bit funny that 4 hours on and still no replies from the evangelists. I want them to be right and me wrong! Please someone show I am wrong.

That's 100% on them. I'm under no obligation to give some credit card company my personal information just so more fingers are in the pie when accusing the contractor of fraud. Cash is good and I accept 0% of the blame of what oth

The difficulty is we skeptics have read claims like yours tens of times, and our response is always, "please share a repo built this way and an example of your prompts," and I at least have never seen anyone do so. I'd love f

In this case you're believing the emperor. Remember the "terrorist check in list" that was just a calendar? Israeli propagandandists don't even have the respect to make up plausible lies anymore.

How? Chatgpt has no autonomy - it can only act when you type into its chatbox or make an API call. A disabled person can autonomously and independently act towards the world, not just react to it.

Yes, I know you're deeply steeped in Israeli propaganda, that doesn't mean you have to function as a mouthpiece for it. Hopefully you have decades left in your life. One from now, I would be immensely grateful if you emailed me an

Again, it's time to open your eyes, you are on the wrong side of history. The world isn't against you, it's against what Israel is doing to Palestine. You don't have to dig your heels in.

Ah, I hadn't seen that. Gross. It's bizarre to me to see people litigating ethno religious debate on this tech forum. The continued existence of racism into the 21st century baffles me. It's so obviously irrational to be raci

It is interesting to me that all this sweat and tears are spent deliberating over the use of a word in faraway courts while all of us can see with our eyes the horrors Palestinians are subjected to by the occupying IDF. "We didn't

There is no justification for Israel's occupation and apartheid of Palestine. The attacks on civilians are unjustifiable as well but the trigger for them wasn't random - Hamas never would have come to power if Israel didn't o

The op did not say Jews, he said Israelis. Apparently a poll by Haaretz found that 47% of respondents wanted to "kill every man, woman, and child in Gaza." 87% wanted complete expelsure of all Palestinians. So, the op is not quite

We used to raid the giant dumpsters they put in the parking lot and we'd always go to the dorm that had all the international students first because the loot was best. Scored an xbox 360 once, a monitor that still worked another time.
