Honestly, I didn't even understand how the CRT applied even after knowing it was required. This visualization[1] is what eventually helped me solve it. [1]: https://www.reddit.com/r/adventofcode/comments/

Both of the companies I've worked at have given me an offer prior to a background check, and included a clause that the offer could be terminated if I failed it.

I'd be surprised if #1, #4, #7, #8 were ever asked in an interview, let alone for someone just learning the language.

Wow, I only just saw this now but ... my mind is boggled. I don't know if I'd trust this for general use, but it's super cool. Thanks for sharing!

This would be interesting to scrape together before that part of the API goes away in December. I wonder how correlated the like/dislike ratio is to the like/view ratio. I'd imagine not very. I don't like very many video

Sorry, I should clarify that I mean Zelle on a personal account. Maybe the rep was bluffing or clueless, but it's what I was told. Perhaps it's permitted if you have the proper business account, but a small-time landlord may not h

Zelle is actually not supposed to be used for anything other than personal payments, despite that rule not being followed by many, many people. My bank told me that Zelle will ban people for it Also, the "instant" limit on Zelle i

Oh, they've not declared it as a lease violation, they've just asked me to do it this way and I've compiled, despite being annoyed by it. I haven't checked local laws (MA), but I've tried to be a good tenant. Also,

It raises the cost of attack, sure. That said, just about every developer I know is not going to think about it and is just going to hit "OK" at the first opportunity. The VSCode "this directory isn't trusted" warni

Yeah - they added that warning because of these precise things. I haven't kept one around but I've definitely seen them since I fell for it many, many years ago.

I can think of at least one legitimate reason to block the dev console. There are these posts I've seen over the years that say to "press the hotkey to open the Javascript console, and paste this Javascript blob" (obviously i

I'd feel _more_ sketched out if a provider was handling it themselves. I don't know how much I want someone unqualified handling the storage of this themselves...

One thing I've been impressed by is that Chewy has no phone tree. It's direct dial to a human who actually can help with most issues. Apparently their reps commonly get mistaken for phone trees out of instinct.

Well, namely it's not my decision to enable them for the entire codebase :) but I may very well try to talk some people into enabling this on debug builds.
