I think citrus heavy juices have those adverse effects on medication (esp. grapefruit[0]), but they probably used a different juice. [0]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grapefruit%E2%80%93drug_intera...

How smart do you want to go? I found that for my purposes all I needed was some occupancy sensor switches and plain old timed switches (exhaust fans).

There's an opt-in nativization feature for blueprints that did translate them to C++, but it was apparently brittle enough to be removed in 5.0

Same experience, I grabbed an 1800W induction cook top in January to test the waters for an inevitable range replacement. It has bubbles forming at the bottom of the pot before the normal stove even gets an empty pan hot. Since then it has

It wasn't necessarily single engineers designing these systems in the 70s either.

Probably not. I was waiting for my gamepass subscription to expire last week so I could renew using the Xbox Live Gold upgrade. I was constantly notified that my subscription was expiring soon , but never actually got a notice when it actu

If you have a baseball cap you can hold the brim (pointed down!) against the back of your neck and trim along it for something half decent :)

Heh. I'll never forget the first time I started an interview process with an automated online test with a "cheat tracker". What it ended up really doing was flunking me for alt tabbing to documentation...

That's fair, but you also don't usually get the luxury of telling the interviewer that you only studied the tree and graph problems so you won't be doing any dynamic programming questions they happen to ask.

Some of the sketchier product pages have changed to a completely different product since I ordered -- and this was for orders less than 10 years old!

I had plumbers out recently to replace a water heater.. after they left I went down to find out they had pushed the new one right up against the outlet the sump pump was using so I couldn't unplug that without moving the whole water he

> You need to succeed 3 different technical interviews where one is a one week long project and if you pass all 3, you are not guarantee to have contracts. Sounds like I might as well be doing regular interviews....

Over the entire development of DF an afternoon or two to try out git or similar would have been a drop in the bucket. There's a lot of (useful!) ground between using flash drives and trying out a hot new version control workflow every

I'm not sure I'm ready to learn another language to be honest. After a decade+ of C++ it'd feel like driving on the wrong side of the road and I wouldn't blame any employers who didn't want to take a chance on that

by lfowles 5y ago
Makes me wonder if I've too strongly tied my career to a specific language. However, right now it's not that I'm specifically a C++ programmer, just that the industry (gamedev) is largely C++. I'm sure in for it if that

I've put it off so many years because it is an enormous amount of labor to document a constantly changing house inventory... Apparently all the little stuff like clothing adds up too so it needs to be thorough.

I practice something similar, I've statically allocated the physical RAM modules when I built my computer. O:)

I'm really not sure what the purpose of the call was! It was my first scheduled contact with the company after sending in my resume, but it was directly with the hiring manager and he got right into writing code over the phone. I'

Hands down my worst interview experience was one where I was grilled on exact versions of operating systems, compilers, and software I used. Then over the phone I was asked to implement some simple functions in C++ but the interviewer kept

Worked at a company that would do that (using PTO or unpaid) with a couple months notice.. really messes with any vacation plans you might have made before you've been there long enough to accrue significant PTO!

Heh. I know exactly what videos you're talking about and I quite easily get sucked into watching them.

Personally I was overly expressive as a kid and it irked me that people could so plainly read me, so over time I learned to tone down my outward emotions. Might have gone a little too far on that. Whoops.

I enjoy it as well, but it does feel a bit like I'm being "nerd sniped"! Trying to justify grinding leetcode after an otherwise full day is hard.

Don't worry, worse interviewing practices definitely exist :) I've been asked to dictate code over the phone "as you would type it out" for a very well respected place. I've grumbled pretty hard about leetcode depen
