Unfortunately, it's a pretty tired HN comment to posit something as being more simple than it actually is. Even during the pandemic there were widespread complaints about the signal work on the L line that has now transformed it from o

Honestly, the voting sorts on Reddit are an underrated feature. Being able to sort comments not by total number of upvotes (which I feel panders to low-effort content) but by highest ratio of upvotes to downvotes produces an extremely diffe

Agree. I'm still using the original iphone SE from 2016. I've replaced the battery four or five times and see no reason to upgrade, even though it's officially out of support now. Funnily, when I meet people now with the late

They've been doing "layoffs" for quite some time, they've just been trying to keep it quiet. I know multiple people (including engineers) that were let go in the past two months.

The article highlights that the easiest way for these companies to let go of staff right now is to dissolve entire teams. I've heard from friends that work at these companies that recent hiring freezes have actually made managers more

It's a running joke in New York that if the NYT writes a piece on a particular trend or sub-culture it may as well be the subject's obituary.

It sounds like you want more influence, and sometimes developing relationships and building trust with people in your organization takes more than two years to build, especially in a larger company.

Digression, but this is my current complaint at my job at a Big Tech Company: we're now so big that we have product managers for everything that dictate what we can and can't work on and they hold a monopoly on customer data that&

Yeah, I've been diagnosed with chronic insomnia and benzos are the only thing that can reliably put me to sleep if I desperately need them. I reserve them for emergency situations, but just knowing I have them as an option is comfortin

One thing I'm curious about is whether Affirm would return the payment to you while they investigate the chargeback - that would be one reason as a consumer I would do a chargeback through my bank instead.

by o10449366 5y ago
Affirm does allow people to open a chargeback dispute, but personally I was always taught to go through your credit card/bank. Also, after reading this account I would be very hesitant to go through Affirm for anything. Chase seems res

The lead is generous. Affirm is charging you for a loan you've already paid and threatening you with late payment. This should be criminal.

Speaking as someone who is actually diagnosed with chronic insomnia and delayed sleep phase disorder, college sucked because my lack of sleep would affect my focus and concentration and that would kill me on exams where a sloppy mistake (ci

I agree and for me it is, but what I learned from that experience is how powerful and influential our emotional state is. It really made me feel like a psychopath at times because I would understand how I "should" feel or do in a

Not true in my experience. I went a no-name state school, graduated with a mediocre GPA and an unremarkable local internship and I still got the same interview and job opportunities as my friends that went to Berkeley and other top schools.

Really? In my position as a senior member on my team, one of the biggest mentoring costs is just teaching junior members how to search and find answers for themselves. Yes, day to day I'm not copy and pasting huge blocks of code from S

Yeah, I would say a much bigger issue than algorithm questions in interviews are interviewers who assume all programmers follow a particular path (usually the one they followed) and discriminate against those-that-did-not-follow-particular-

There's a certain irony to exploiting an ethically questionable method to obtain a job and, once you've obtained that position, using your authority as a gatekeeper to attempt to prevent others from entering the same way.

Software engineers that QQ about how unfair algorithm interviews are are clearly out of touch with how difficult and truly unfair interviews are for other high paying industries like law or medicine (in the US) where getting interviews is

No, if you really want to game it you sign up for membership on Chinese forums where people post the questions word for word minutes after completing the interview. That or work exclusively with private recruiters that tell you the question
