I know only enough about crypto to be dangerous, but it's never been clear to me why that's such a hard technical limitation. my password manager is very easy to set up on a new device if I have another authenticated device on han

schwab doesn't charge a fee to wire from a brokerage account. by the way, there's no minimum balance or fees required to open an account with them. you pick up the phone, get connected with an intelligent person who understands ex

interesting thread, but doesn't really answer my question. as a human, it is obvious from that snippet alone that the variable x is never read. therefore, unless `classes.ElementAt(i).Name` has some side effect, the entire loop could b

this whole post is kinda confusing to me. I know barely anything about c# under the hood. the only language I've ever used in performance sensitive use cases is c++. to me, all of the benchmark code looks like an obvious opportunity fo

that's too bad. friends that can directly vouch for your skills are the easiest way into a job. still, don't forget a lot of companies give a bonus for any referral that results in a hire. unless you've specifically pissed th

I've worked at small companies too, I get it. the charitable read of your linkedin page is that you're a engineer with a broad skillset who can be dropped into any kind of project and get it done. the uncharitable read is that you

not trying to be a dick, but after seven years you must have some friends or former colleagues that work at other companies, right? if so, why are you applying through the jobs page instead of having them refer you internally? fwiw, I did t

English has subjunctive mood, it is often used in counterfactuals like the first clause of "if I were taller, I could reach the ceiling". sometimes you can get away with saying "was" instead of "were" in these

by the same logic you could argue that prison is strictly worse than probation, because you can always swap probation for prison by violating it. and yet, most people at least try to satisfy the terms of probation when given a choice.

unfortunately people don't just steal large sums of money and sit on it. it's rarely possible to make the victims whole without unwinding a web of (plausibly) good faith transactions involving others. having the perpetrator's

I don't doubt that the author's car is every bit as frustrating as described, but not all new cars are like that. I got a new bmw last year, and before I left the lot, some 20 yo "genius" from the dealership sat down wit

I recently ordered a medium sized table from ikea and the delivery options were a) $20 to receive in 3-5 days, b) $50 to receive on a specific day within a 12 hour window, and c) $80 to get a narrower time window and have the delivery perso

"unable to move and blocking traffic" is not a new failure mode for cars. I get that it's particularly infuriating to be blocked by a car that is, mechanically, in good shape, but I don't find the story particularly damn

it might be hard to accept for the people that used to work there. right now, the labor market is pretty tight at the low end, so these hypothetical workers would likely not have much trouble getting a different minimum wage job. but it&#x2

the US is certainly stronger as a whole than as a sum of its parts, but this seems like a massive exaggeration. even the poorest US states compare favorably to other first-world nations on a per capita GDP basis. it would be a major adjustm

it doesn't need to be an "offense" at all. in the event of a collision, it's enough to have a strong prejudice towards the person who had the legal right of way.

I don't think the per capita figures prove your friend wrong here. my napkin math indicates that 10L / year of pure alcohol equates to about 1.5 standard US drinks per day. so the US average is a bit below that and DE is closer to
