For folks like myself, who don't know much about DB internals but know a bit about Kubernetes, this sounds very akin to the K8s API watch cache. https://danielmangum.com/posts/k8s-asa-watching-and-caching/

It CAN cost nothing to give a take home, but this is not a requirement. At my previous employer any candidate that made it as far as the take home project was paid for the time they worked on it.

I've been dreaming for years of some kind of "two ways to unlock your phone" mode. Mode 1: I'm bored, show me something interesting, all notifications are available Mode 2: I want to do something specific, don't sho

On top of that, text based communication for short attention spans is both brief and dehumanized, encouraging "dunking" behaviour. Hard to empathize with folks who have differing views when the discourse can broadly be described a

This looks great, I really appreciate your response!

Ooh! In that case I would love to hear about anything you've encountered in this arena that you found more appealing.

I'll join sva_ with another book recomendation: How Emotions Are Made by Lisa Feldman Barrett. I am not an academic, but as far as I can tell she is a leading authority on the matter and the books is extremely accessible for the layper

Like others I noticed this capability was interfered with in some way. I had fun getting it to speak to me in a cheesy over-the-top Bostonian accent early on, then one day when I tried to demonstrate for a friend it interrupted itself mid-s

Good timing. My local cinema just ran Gladiator a couple nights ago and I popped by, it still rocks. And yes, that's what he scrapes off his arm right after being captured by slave traders.

Cool! I haven't seen this feature. Does it add some nice features beyond what a compose file could offer?

by phrotoma 1y ago
This has been my experience. I don't use VSCode and every time I've attempted to play with devcontainers I've just given up and gone back to a docker compose file. I love that they tried to extract the feature out into a stan

Those two are pretty equivalent in my mind, though I've only done trivial things with them. What's the diff?
