As with any question, it depends! I personally think it is OK to job hop a little, but it is important to take the macro view of your career when deciding to stay or go. The question should be "am I learning and growing enough here o

I recently went through a round of interviews at big tech companies, and I found that the coding questions were less stressful than I was initially worried about. Leetcode problems are fair, and it just isn't true that you need to know

"destined" may be a better word than "doomed" in this case :) I have a similar feeling, I like doing low level work but I also mentoring junior engineers, hopefully that mentoring will multiply my overall output over tim

I had a similar experience - when I felt like things were moving too slow and I didn't deliver a lot I was much more stressed out. My manager and team was satisfied with my output but I couldn't shake the anxiety that I wasn'

The internet was certainly a lot lower stakes and fun in the 90s and early 2000s. We had fun taking over the mic and singing karaoke in Yahoo chatrooms, watching albino black sheep, and playing flash games on kongregator. Even early Facebo

If you're wondering what to invest in, I would stick to VTI/ITOT/etc. Some people will definitely be lucky but nobody knows nothing!

Ok I just looked at local Bitcoin... I need to select a currency and pick traders, then select one who accepts an actual method I can use to exchange fiat currency such as a specific bank or zelle... How is this easier exactly? It just seem

You can look into the SBIR program from the federal government (www.sbir.gov/). Every federal agency with significant research dollars is supposed to participate in this program to help provide seed money to small businesses. Each age

I understand the appeal of a currency not controlled by a bad government, but could we honestly expect third world residents to be able to understand and use the technology required for crypto? I have been writing software for a decade and

Call it stealing it or not, non rivalrous or whatever, the point is that the movie owners have intellectual property rights to their movies and can decide how it is distributed. If you think that's a dumb deal then you don't have

I don't think making your own parts is really a downside... For any commercial application actually making the part footprints is such a small part of the total engineering effort required for supply chain management. On top of that, i

I seriously don't understand why this point keeps getting repeated. It is just semantics! Yes, we all know copying a digital show isn't the same exact thing as stealing your car. However, you are still taking something of value! L

Maybe more expensive up front but probably cheaper in the long run!

Next thing you should do is get a raspberry pi with octoprint! Then you can drop the gcode in from your web browser :)

I enjoyed the AI in Perfect Dark (N64), you could create a battle with a wide assortment of personalities (bot-alities?) like vengeance-bot (always out for revenge) or turtle-bot (try to get armor and hiding).

This is a problem we have had at my company too, how can we be inclusive to everyone with "fun" type events? Some people don't want alcohol, some don't want physical events, etc. I think the best we can do as companies

This is pretty cool! It looks like a good option for Flash memory. If anyone is looking for a FAT file system (ie for an SD card or for making a USB mass storage device) fatfs is still a great option.

The treadmill incidents were absolutely terrible but without knowing Peloton's internal design process I don't want to assign blame. Any physical product with powerful motors and moving parts is inherently dangerous, and the best

I understand your point about career vendor lock-in, but I am not sure if it is as big of a problem as you may think. If I were a hiring manager for a team using Google Cloud or Azure and I saw a candidate with a strong background using AW

Peloton does have a lot going for it. From everyone I've heard, their physical products are well made (with the exception of the treadmill issue..). They have extremely low churn which is hard to do in fitness. The main problem is tha

Yup, it was called "the dao" and a hacker ran away with a third of their Ethereum. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_DAO_(organization)

I love my framework as well! My main con is the battery life, although part of that is because I set the max charge % to 90 to hopefully protect long-term life

If you want a dumb car, you should really consider the Nissan Frontier. The truck hasn't changed very much since the mid 2000s. I drove one as a rental for a while and it feels like a blast from the past.

Before you do anything try and think about what you would like to accomplish and determine if going forward would help with that plan. If what you want is more stability in your job then see what practical changes you can do to make that ha

It may seem icky but I think once a company hits a certain size it is important to define some basic rules for external communication of any type, otherwise it becomes a garbled mess. Overall the policies seem pretty common sense and hands

I think their point is "Appreciate what you have and get back to work!!" Whether or not that is helpful is a different question!

I think location is a big part of it? Before covid it was pretty much impossible to work for a FAANG outside of San Francisco (or one of their secondary offices), and even now they have embraced remote hiring less than other smaller compan

Why don't you try searching "tiananmen square" in China and see where that gets you? No country is perfect, the US certainly isn't, but I would still take this over China's social scoring system
