This article on ESPN has some anecdotes of events in his career, and I think it's really good: https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/31215567/coach-broadcast... Looks like he may have been respon

Isn't this the entire esports community though? edit: This was intended to be a serious question. I thought the esports folks were mostly interested with minimizing input latency and maximizing framerate, to the exclusion of most other

I guess it's arguable what the actual whole truth is in Afghanistan, but a lot of writing on it paints the Afghan troops themselves as being unprepared to defend themselves and in many cases unreliable. We were ostensibly trying to hel

I don't know what's still true, but at one point us-east-1 seemed more critical than other regions because there were some things that had to be there. One thing that comes to mind is ACM certificates used with things like API Gat

I'd certainly like it if I could pay YouTube TV $15 to get just the sports channels. I only subscribe a few months a year, for college football season. I don't like to watch anything else. So I'm spending $65/mo to watch

Maybe. I know we've hired people who did objectively poorly on our coderpad and they've been effective - although in one case not as an IC, IMO - while other people who did objectively great were just not. I think my feedback is t

I hadn't done many interviews before starting at my current job, where they seem to make a point of getting a lot more people involved in the interview process. I guess this is an idealistic view, but it should be pretty clear if you&#

I read about three paragraphs in and then stopped. Coderpad tests where you're encouraged not to write tests, can't hit the run button, and can't use reference material? Worthless. Most people - not just the author - are goin

This is a good point and it is something we can all do. Don't go work for companies in industries you're opposed to, no matter how much money they want to throw at you. For this discussion, that would be adtech, marketing/pr,

I'm sort of surprised that the focus is on the leather industry, which I assumed was a byproduct of raising cattle for beef. Are cattle raised specifically for their hides?

It doesn't. They meant that their plan to take action if the lead levels rose was a workable one, i.e. they were able to execute the plan. They also said that lead levels in their children never rose. The sentence might have been more

I don't have any good sources to back this up, but I thought it was typical for homes in Japan to only have a 30-40 year lifespan anyway. This [0] cites average age of wood-framed homes between 27-30 years, with concrete more like 37 y

Came here to say this also. Linux, 1200p, Firefox 94, amdgpu/radeonsi, webrender is enabled. It's laggy enough when moving pieces that I thought the page had locked up; a FF process jumps to 100% cpu usage and my cpu fan spins up

It also has weird bouts of high CPU usage, even if running containers are not busy. I think it's due to overhead with osxfs handling local disk changes (e.g. you've mounted a volume with a large git repo, and in that repo on the h

Docker Desktop for Mac runs Docker in a VM. It has poor disk I/O compared to native, and IIRC it is not as capable as native from a networking perspective (perhaps not a big issue). Also, as of recently it costs money to use Docker Des

This is what I was wondering also, and it makes me think other people look at a much larger range of sites with different icons than I do. I use Chrome at work because I have to. I often get into the situation with icon-width tabs, and to m
