Yes. I just had an odd Interview a couple of weeks ago. We were looking for a contractor and interviewed someone. The location he gave was the middle of nowhere, British Columbia. Turns out though, I don’t live that far away from there.

Vision Service Plan. I don't mind calling them out because they were god-awful up and down the chain. They basically were IBM's lap dog and gave them a blank check on whatever IBM told them to buy.

As a heart attack. Guy was a trip. So many stories about that guy, many of them very disturbing. Even worst was the manager that let him get away with that shit. These were the days when technical managers weren't a thing. He had a

SIKE. This was reported weeks ago, right? There are still three more candidates.

I was a very junior dev when I worked for a huge health insurance company, I was placed under a senior dev to learn JSP and Java Servlets using an internal app. I quickly ran through a book on JSP to prepare for the project. When I get the

Rest hours are also required in the US. However, trucks will stop almost anywhere - rest areas, off the the side of highway on-ramps, Walmart, etc. Now the trucks will have to find charging stations to rest, which will certainly impact th

I was helping a buddy with his car once. He bought a breaker bar from HF and it started to bend on the second wheel we used it on. Like, dude, you had one job...

Yes, OP is serious. I have to ask if you're serious. There was an extensive interview with an Australian ISIS recruiter in The Atlantic (I think) several years ago. The guy wholeheartedly believed he was doing good, and felt sadness

Lol. Holy crap. I've been out of the AK making game for too long and didn't know about this. I'll have to look it up.

The front trunnion is the only thing anyone would have trouble with, IMO. It has to attach tightly to the barrel and withstand the explosion from firing. Somewhere on the internet is a forum post where someone took a shovel and made all th

A friend of mine needed a chainsaw to chop up a tree branch in her yard. She told her dad she was going to Harbor Freight to get one and he emphatically said, "NO" and bought her a decent one.

The thing about the AK is that it really was designed to be a cheap weapon to put in the hands of masses of soldiers. It gives large squads of soldiers the ability to spray-and-pray in devastating fashion. 7.62x39 tumbles pretty well and u

This is an honest question. Stop acting like asshat redditors with the downvotes. A downvote on this is not a no vote to the question.
405.
by snapetom 4y ago
It's more like redditors creeping in. The "downvote is not a disagree button" of reddiquette went out the window a looong time ago. People are fast to hit that button and the attitude is seeping in here, harming discourse.

> And you're not showing any data at all. And your payscale site is so far off, it can't be called data. > US devs don't get paid more than devs in the rest of the world? How in the world did you come to that conclusion

You're leveraging historically bad pound/dollar conversion rates to get that figure. In general, US salaries are higher because of the lack of social services. $37k for a UK dev, I don't buy. I worked with Belgian devs, in

You're going to be shocked at prices these days. Paying some poor soul from some poverty stricken developing country, and expect them to be grateful for just a job, is an archaic notion. In Latin America, the price is near US levels

You're not missing anything. It's a ponzi scheme. It can't exist without the hype.

Holy hell. Someone please correct me, but the beta-amyloid camp has been under attack, establishment researchers still keep going despite weak evidence, and now the best drug they have might have fabricated data???

Yeah, I'd love to hear a lawyer's opinion on this. Seems to open a door for an appeal if a US judge is applying foreign definitions and litmus tests to US companies/citizens. At the very least, there are nuances that judges

Not true according to my citation and others in the past. Looking at the Western states that over-represent, the Idaho, Arizona, and even Oregon have more in common with Texas than California/D.C. The PNW themselves deal with a vocal

Except the South, presumably Texas sympathizers, are way over represented in the military. The next largest region of over-representation are your flyover states, which political lean red. https://watson.brown.edu/costsofwa

Even WP didn't really get Reveal Codes on their own program right when they went to Windows. That tool is just way more appropriate for monospaced terminals instead of WYSIWYG.

I worked in law offices and data entry in the early 90's through high school, and some college. When HTML came along, it was pretty much the same style of syntaxing as WP, so it was extremely easy to pick up. I was one of the early H

Pretty much my same experience with AWS. We had a customer with some infrastructure on Azure that we had to integrate with. The hoops we've gone through are: 1) Wade through poor documentation to find how to do it, follow the docs to

Here’s the thing. Yes, you’re giving up battery life with the EVF. However, you’re also giving up all the other new advances manufacturers are shoving into newer mirror less cameras. Eye tracking auto focus, great low light performance,

Yes. This is why the work is being done now, and there will be an urgency in moving PQC algorithms from academia to commercial use. Everything that has been stolen in data breaches up until then will be broken once QC are viable. Good new
