On the flip side elsiver wouldn't be getting papers published from UCLA right? I don't know how that situation works. But UCLA is pretty big, so I would think they would be losing access to papers also.

That is why I like using random data generators for tests. You can input some static data and then the rest is random. Every once in a while a bug pops out when you see a test fail that was previously passing.

Exactly, by that point is was beating a dead horse.

On a side note why does Google offer a captcha service to the public, then for their services use an incredibly shitty one. It takes me 4-5 tries to decrypt the random squiggles on their sites. I don't mind decoding a bit of text or a

I don't care, I ruined their analytics and more importantly my online profile. The cross platform tracking exists, I'm going to fuck it over regarding my identity. Plus at an incredibly small scale I make it less valuable for adve

I don't know how you can determine they are expensive. They are unlimited and included in the plan. There is a cost of course but if I send one or one hundred thousand, it's not going to cost more.

The problem is that banksy is incredibly self promoting and making millions. Talk about a huge hipocrite. "I'll cash my check pretending to not advertise his work, oh and don't be an advertising whore, seriously where is my c

While I don't engage much on social media, I've found it better to randomly click an ad. I'm ruining their profile one click at a time. The ads I see across platforms and websites are so hilariously dumb and irrelevant now. Y

The dsl days were terrible. Installers would literally move wires from a competitor because that green box didn't have the capacity.

I am highly doubtful. Uber GPS is terrible in general so I'm guessing they don't have that level of granularity. Plus what do you define as aggressive driving? It can vary depending on traffic flow and patterns of the area.

by paulie_a 8y ago
Personally I would say it is a mix. There are some Uber drivers that definitely can be a bit more aggressive but still safe. I suppose it depends on the area/time of day but I'll walk past the line of taxis to get an Uber. If it t

My last class in highschool was study hall. I sold a ton of bootlegs and took orders from classmates and even teachers. Made about 50 dollars a day after costs.

Personally I love Uber and avoid taxis as much as possible. The worst Uber ride was still far better than the best taxi I've taken. A driver might be chatty and you have a great conversation, or they just stay quiet. Either ways a much

Amd has been kicking the shit out of Intel for 30 years. No seemed to notice. Their 386 was faster than Intel 486. The octa core that is tenish years old is still competitive against non Xeon chips. At the time it completely destroyed intel

I will never conduct a white board style interview, and in the future while interviewing the company, never take one. That is an automatic pass. Hell I'd recommend hiring someone that simply said "no" to that style of interv

Jira tickets are generally devoid of specific information. What am I actually expected to do. List it out. User stories are an incredibly useless concept in the current implementation. And the new interface on jira is a piece of shit. I wi

You don't level up but you can enter more easily depending on dual citizenship. You use the one that has less friction.

For large oss projects, accept PRs from those contributers, and outright tell the Australian government to go fuck themselves. They have zero recourse.

Honestly, tech interviews are really simple to conduct. Give a few challenges. See if they stumble hard. See how they interact (quite frankly the most important aspect if they have any technical experience). Give hints if necessary. Intervi

It's fairly easy. Give a problem, for the person to work on, they code it, they might need some hints or direction. Interviews are already stressful. Get the person actually coding, doing something. Whiteboard interviews are just plain

China is absolutely in no way Communist, in any way. They are full on corrupt capitalism, but still it's capitalism. They can proclaim whatever they want. Personally I think they have been making a slower transition vs Russia where th

Is whiteboard interviews a sv thing? Because they seem to be rare in the Midwest? Maybe I've just been lucky. But they seem like an incredibly poor way to interview someone.

There is a clear distinction in my opinion, I've outright rejected candidates because they simply didn't have the skills. And not selected a capable one because someone else edged them out. It's not semantics. There was a dec

For Lyft: gps and pool directions actually work. Uber fails hard in that category. Uber drivers rarely use the built-in system.
