When was the last time you were there? I went in 2019 and 2020 and it was really easy to get around. All stations have signage in English almost everywhere. Google maps says which exit / entrance to come in or leave from, even which ca

Yahoo is still very popular in Japan, especially the Auctions site.

They need to really work on some things. I had DashPass basically from the beginning of COVID until a month or so ago. The first year or so it was decent. But the past year to year and a half I started having way more issues with dashers an

>I like what Costco is doing, instead of just recycling the boxes, they are left for people to carry their purchases. This is really interesting. Growing up in Southern California, I remember always getting free boxes from Costco like th

I wasn't laid off but spent Jan-Aug taking time off and then interviewing for a while. Even before the layoffs started things were getting tricky. I was mid-process with multiple companies between June and August that pulled out becaus

Haven't participated and have long lost touch with just about everyone, but the Playstation Portable hacking/homebrew development community. Most people in it were incredibly smart and fun. Just being a fly on the wall is part of

A quick stab of the accelerator to get the revs up to match the gear you're shifting into. The closer your "blip" gets your engine rpm into the right range for the gear you're shifting into, the smoother your shift will

Depends on situation. If it's a quick stop then usually I'll just slow down and then clutch in and shift to neutral as the car stops. Then I shift into 1st. Sometimes this transition happens quickly, such as if it's red long

I do wonder how much of this depends on the driving style, though. In a manual I think you're much more likely to rev out the engine more, shift higher in the rev range, etc. In an automatic unless you're in full "manual&quot

It's honestly not really necessary unless you're on the track. I will say I blip rev-match downshift on the street almost all the time, that's definitely useful for smooth driving in most scenarios.

This is how I learned (via the Matt Farah videos on YouTube), basically. Just go somewhere quiet and flat and learn to get moving in first with just slipping the clutch. You should be able to feather it enough until you have sufficient mome

IME being there for a month, the public transportation costs add up but food and housing (provided you stay at cheap-ish hotels) are extremely reasonable unless you're constantly getting the fanciest meals.

I think Golden Delicious can be delicious but they have to be just right. Red are the absolute worst, though.

You get a bunch of cash up front; majority of RSU's come from your 3rd year vest date on.

Before I left Amazon I tried transferring to multiple teams after speaking with hiring managers. They all (IIRC 4 separate ones) wanted either a full on-site loop or at minimum two coding interviews). I was an L5 with about 5-6 years of exp

I tried CBD a few times for my Essential Tremor, since it was a recommended form of home treatment. Didn't help that at all and I can't recall feeling any calmer about anything while using it. I've also given CBD treats to my

I think you're misunderstanding the argument altogether, honestly. The argument isn't whether social media is toxic but whether users can do some work themselves to filter out as much of the toxicity as possible and still benefit

Given that we are friends through shared hobbies that involve photos of things in the hobby, that wouldn't work nearly as well.

by spike021 4y ago
So then you can make the same argument for social media, which further proves my point. It's not one-sided at all.

But you could say the same thing about nearly everything. Sure there are millions upon millions of books. Someone who enjoys reading won't elect to read books they know are a waste of time or something that will be offensive to them. S

Social media isn't inherently bad, if you can learn how to self-curate. I've made pen pal friends on international trips who I stay in contact with on Instagram and Twitter because it doesn't make sense to exchange phone numb

My brother recently bought an e-bike and has been enjoying it as well. He hasn't taken it on errands yet, though. How do you handle preventing theft, since that's super common here in the bay? I know there are some relatively high

One time he played at San Jose State University while I was living in the brick dorms next door and I distinctly remember feeling the bass even from outside that show.

On one of my visits to japan my hotel had a toilet with a sink on top of the tank. Really loved the idea of flushing and washing my hands at the same time. The water used to wash your hands ends up being used for toilet water anyway. So you

I just drive a manual. Makes it easy to get into neutral.

I read on another forum that there isn't even a manual release somewhere. I understand for security it's nice not to but maybe hide one _somewhere_ so at least you have some backup option in an emergency?

I just joined a company in the past few months that uses Macs and pretty much all dev environment documentation insists on using ASDF. I had a lot of problems, and am still having one or two, in a few of the codebases I need to work in. I t

You are probably 100% correct. However, I did work with engineers during that time who had recently traveled from Wuhan and seen family there. I also passed through both SFO and SEA airports at very busy times at the end of December/be
