Correct me if I’m wrong, but “expensive dev” in the UK means $100-200k, whereas in SV it’s more like $600k-1m. Hope you find what you’re looking for, consider SV firms as they pay way better AFAICT.

My prediction is that the places bleeding talent won’t do so well in the long run.

No Google or Stack Oveflow, just everything from my memory into the IDE until the test case written into the JIRAs assigned to me all pass. No internet connection for employees, only test env access. At least, that’s how too many places sti

It’s just so ridiculous to me that all these companies were forced to experience how remote work can work, yet they are choosing to pursue hard-line RTO policies, talent be damned.

My question for TSLA bulls is how much of that future is already priced in? I have a hard time believing that it will 10x again.

Don't forget CA Prop 13 [1] Boomers all over Silicon Valley are still paying 1976 tax rates on their properties worth $2m+ now. Disneyland is a huge beneficiary[2], but ANY efforts to reform Prop 13, even just for commercial, are met w

To be fair, the person at The Verge couldn’t make it perfect because they didn’t remove all the adhesive around the screen, so already it’s Apple: 0, fools: 1.

Probably wouldn’t be that hard either to waterproof and seal everything, then have waterproof batteries and battery connectors that were splash-resistant with recommended removal + drying for a day if they do get wet.

Love the Framework idea, but I just upgraded my desktop from a 5950x to a 12900KS and I had to go from a 280mm AIO to a 420mm AIO just to keep it from thermal throttling. These 12th-gen Intel chips put out A LOT of heat. I hope that they of

There’s also the matter of familiarity — if you’ve already heard a song on good gear many times, your brain will fill in the gaps even on bad playback equipment, but finding new stuff might not be as enjoyable because much will be left out,

Recovering audiophile here. I used to continually chase gains until I got more into the professional side of things (I’ve been making music myself for a couple of decades). I ended up getting a few TOTL setups and I regret not doing that so

…and countries with massively cheaper labor. Imagine what MIUSA iPhones made with 100% MIUSA parts would cost (if they could even exist, given the realities of semiconductor manufacturing today).

"I used it so I wouldn't need to rewrite the 300 proprietary internal libraries and dependencies our company also paid to write and maintain in that language" is probably a valid answer for many BigCo employees.

Interviews exist in this weird space disconnected from the reality of the work and being judged by those closest to the work. Not many real on-the-job situations would require someone, for example, to be able to recall the protocol number f

Oil is slippery, and humans walking upright fall easily on slippery surfaces :) Check out e.g. HexArmor Rig Lizard gloves for the kinds of specialized safety gear they use to get a good cut-resistant grip on stuff.

It's more than a sealed car battery: it's also a transformer, some MOS FETS, a charger, and switcher (basically a tiny version of an Automatic Transfer Switch that a datacenter would have). https://www.youtube.com/

Check out the Eaton 5PX series. Local web-based management, no subscription BS, easy to replace standard 12v7ah batteries in a user-serviceable sled, can be used as a tower or rackmount, 120v options available, and you can find them on ebay

Why does insurance as a business feel like legalized gambling? “I’ll give you 1000:1 odds that you won’t crash your car” “I think that person will win that bet and I’ll give you 100:1 odds”.

San Jose is worse. They call it “Man Jose”. Plenty of profiles on dating sites won’t even consider someone outside of SF / Oakland since it’s so much trouble if the city person doesn’t have a car.
