TSA will usually pull you aside and search your bag if you have food, so go ahead and take it out first.

Trading ISK for real money isn't allowed by CCP. You are exactly right that describing an amount of ISK as if it was worth some amount of USD doesn't tell the whole story. It's likely that if the market were truly bidirection

You have to be careful. My Samsung smart tv throws up a splash screen whenever any HDMI input is plugged in or wakes up, which can only be dismissed by using the remote. Sometimes it even shows a few frames of the HDMI input before switchin

This is basically how tile renderers work in mobile GPUs. Supercomputers also have a similar design with MPI and toroid networks although on a multi-machine scale.

This game is rated platinum on protondb, which is the highest rating. I think Valve just doesn't get around to verifying games.

I think this actually works in their favor. If a candidate invests a week into you, they can only match that commitment a few times with other companies, and they might not actually get offers everywhere. Then you don't have to negotia

I don't think this is true. Why would they spend millions of dollars making elaborate surveillance and censorship tools for a Chinese version of Google search if they wanted everyone to accidentally find out about it later and throw a

Bob Iger (now Disney CEO) has a story about when he was an exec at ABC and greenlit "Cop Rock", a musical tv show about a police department. It sounds bad now, sounded bad then, and was quickly cancelled after all misplaced optimi

Ex-Googler here. I'm kind of surprised Google leadership lets themselves get bullied so hard. E.g. when Diane Greene lied several times about the nature of Google Cloud's involvement with the Air Force, a ton of employees complain

Was the whole process <= 1 hour, the total amount of live coding was <= 1 hour, or any session of live coding was <= 1 hour? All the interviews at Google are 45 minutes, and when I interviewed only 2 had coding, so there was realis

There are some studies that claim a large percentage of people (40%+) lie on their CVs. As someone who hasn't done that and struggles to lie even in games, I have a hard time believing it. But even if 5-10% of people lie, hiring is a l

I learned cursive in 3rd grade in the US, but I didn't use it since except for the specific letters of my own signature (which no longer really resembles the original letters anyway), so I've largely unlearned it. In hindsight, it

Wait that's the whole article? What is this proposed "tax"? Are ISPs lobbying the government to levy a new tax? Is this just a colloquial term for a fee between private businesses? What do the ISPs say about this? Did the Net

If you are specifically trying to test Unicode support, then you might want to try multiple formulations for the same glyph. E.g. you can make é either directly with 00e9 or with a combining mark 0065 0301. You can't tell the differenc

Sometimes people forget that "Clean Code" is a book, and it's not exactly stellar. This is a pretty thorough tear-down: https://qntm.org/clean I'm totally onboard with prioritizing readability over perfo

I think so. Figure 7 is the only figure in the paper that shows latency, and it appears the epoch defines a latency floor. The system is aggressively optimized for throughput at the expense of commit latency, which is common for anything wi

Most of it is cellular or regional, but there are a few critical global services. The global network load balancing, network qos, and ddos prevention are more functional because they are global (i.e. you couldn't replace them with equi

The hit and run play they mention in the article depends on the defense being unaware of the play. Basically, the batter will swing no matter the pitch, which let's the runner on base start running before the ball leaves the pitcher&#x

It's difficult to grant privately held equity that's taxable when it vests since you can't sell it to cover the taxes. Also if the company doesn't go anywhere, you paid a lot of taxes for nothing, and it can be difficult

It seems so strange they would openly give this feedback to a candidate. Even if it weren't illegal, the only action available to the candidate is to lie about the nature of their termination in the future. It also doesn't seem li

Arrow says you can only have 3 of the 4 properties in the theorem, but it doesn't say anything about other properties, and it doesn't say which of the 4 properties is most important. And if you bend the rules, it doesn't appl

IME you want at least 1 manager per team. A single manager for multiple teams won't really know what's going on. For a team of 2-4, the manager could be a part time IC. For 5 or more reports, the manager probably has to manage ful
