Myself, I use a stainless steel frying pan on medium high, steaks stay on each side for about 4-5 minutes and that’s it. Perfect medium rare all the time with a great sear on the outside. That’s for 1” steaks by the way.

I have been using Linux as my primary OS for years now, and while it does 99% of what I need, there’s still the 1% that requires me to have dual boot. Photoshop and another art software (Clip Studio Paint, for example) require Windows (or a

In that case I think enforcing it was necessary to break the status quo. If it should no longer be a law and let people decide is up to each one’s personal opinions. Myself, I think if someone wants to take risk and maybe get killed there a

Where I come from, people did not have the habit of wearing seat belts, even though, at the time, it was proven to help in case of accidents. The media was all over it but people still not wore them. Government then decided to make it a law

Oh I got that you meant H1B transfer. But the thing is that it was never a transfer, it was just a new application. I did it in 2011 and it was exactly the same process (I got no RFEs but a friend that got an RFE in his first application go

There is no such thing as visa transfer process. When you’re switching jobs on an H1B you follow the same process as if it were a new application, with the exception it can be done any time in the year and the visa cap doesn’t apply.

What makes an event exciting is seeing someone bringing it to the next level and doing stuff nobody has ever done before. The competition can’t keep up? Their problem. Let the next generation train twice as they do so they can get to that l

I guess they bought in bulk and repackaged? I know somebody who sells stuff at Amazon as a third-party seller. It’s a common strategy to do exactly that: find items that are selling for more than the local store, buy it from the local sto

it doesn’t matter that you can solve them, you need to be able to solve them in under a minute while your interviewer is constantly distracting you. so basically, it has nothing to do with being able to build software. I realized that my

There are a lot of great resources mentioned here so I won’t repeat them. I will add (although it might be obvious) that receiving feedback on your work is as important as following lessons and tutorials. So, finding a group of artists to e

Off topic: a bit hard to read on iOS Safari because left margin is 0 (or close to). Back to the subject at hand: Chrome is a memory hog and there’s nothing new here, but nice to see the comparison with Safari. Too bad Firefox wasn’t part of

There was also 2 official 16-month calendars that were released. I believe for 1988-1989 and for 1989-1990. Each month contains a Calvin and Hobbes strip.

In some countries SMS is not free and might get quite expensive. This is one of the reasons WhatsApp became so popular in these places.

A thing that happens to me is that, even though the problem is not hard, the interviewer attitude puts me off. More often than not the interviewers are arrogant and act like they don’t want to be there - and the make sure I am aware of that

Same with me. I jumped to Chrome as soon as it came out because FF was sluggish and pretty much impossible to use. Ironically Chrome was a memory hog although performance didn’t really suffer. When Quantum came out, I switched back to FF an

My understanding (I’m a former H1B myself) is that if you lose your current job and sponsor you have some time (don’t remember exactly how many months) to find a new sponsor otherwise you need to leave. Didn’t happen with me, but I had a co

I went through a transfer of sponsors and I can tell you that the process and cost was the same as getting my H1B the first time. The only difference was that I wasn’t restricted by the yearly cap and the transfer could happen at any time -

I am also a Hugo user - and I love it - but also find the documentation pretty bad. Not only hard to find stuff I need but also pretty basic sometimes.
