If you’re doing traditional on-site interviews, you’re already asking for multiple days (unless they live nearby). It can be a challenge sometimes, but not as often as you might think. I’m sure there are heavy-handed employment contracts th

Same as for other contractors. Yes, there is friction, but if you do it enough, it gets reasonably small.

It's a SPA (see the example cards/pages). So technically slightly more.

Conventional technical interview (DSA, whiteboard architecture). Then 1-2 day paid work trial. Interestingly…no one has said no to the trial. It turns out that people want to derisk their decision just as much, if not more.

It has it. Incredible? No.

To recap: A Iranian military structure was converted into a school. After conversion, the rest of the naval base remained there (< 100m away). Missile strikes hit both the base and the adjacent school. --- FYI, it's not unusual for

A targeted, coordinated attack can compromise multiple AZs. But AFAIK AWS has only reported data loss in mec1-az2. Cross-AZ services like S3 should have no data loss, unless there is more damage than AWS has currently published.

Of course not. The surprising thing is that multiple availability zones were bombed simultaneously. And to my knowledge, they haven’t even yet said 2+ AZs were compromised.

What AZs were affected? I don’t think I’ve seen them say?

All the AZs flooded simultaneously?! How big was this flood?

How would have that changed anything?

Airbnb is so much more versatile I almost always start there when traveling. (And then move to booking.com.) A house for 6 people. A guaranteed view. A real kitchen. A remote location. Etc.

“if X then Y” means “(not X) or Y” E.g. “If it’s raining, the sidewalk is wet.” That statement holds if it’s not raining or the sidewalk is wet. This is a common occurrence in mathematics, where someone might not be able to unconditionally

Bad take. HTML is abysmally lacking for any interactive (which is what this article is about). Decades later, even something as common as a combobox is unsupported. EDIT: Downvotes but no argument.
