I've used it to add test coverage. Granted it wasn't for new major features but small features that still necessitated having tests. IME so far that's what it's best at. As long as there exists tests in the codebase that

the people who can negotiate, especially when changing jobs, are almost always the ones who can get multiple offers. i'm usually lucky if i can get one offer when interviewing. no room to negotiate that way...

Over the past few years i've become friends with my neighborhood's USPS mailman. While it doesn't get as hot here as other parts of the country, it's pretty awful what he needs to deal with once temps reach 80+. his truc

>UPS and Fedex would need bigger vehicles than this. I live in the SF Bay Area and i've definitely seen small vans and such used for delivery by the major shippers. they don't always use the standard trucks.

I’m usually on board with Apple UI changes but something about all the examples they showed today just looked really cheap. My only guess is this style looks better while using the product but not while looking at screenshots or demos built

I just checked and my google account’s earliest synced note is from 2011. it shows up in the Notes app as a separate section from the iCloud one.

I’ve used my google account for notes for years. The earliest one looks like it was around 2014. Have you tried adding an email address from a platform that supports notes?

The City Hall of San Jose, CA, currently has a couple peregrine falcon young in a nest on its roof i believe. It’s relatively high up for the area.

Hasn’t that already been done (and failed) with one or two devices? there was one about a year ago that was effectively a clip on your shirt and it seemed like a terrible product. It was meant to be a dedicated AI device.

Fortunately he was interviewed by the Shoah Foundation many years ago, so there is a video record of it. Unfortunately i don’t think many people know about that Foundation and its efforts.

This was how I felt when my grandfather passed in 2021. He was always my hero since he was first a Holocaust survivor and then was drafted at 16 to go back to Germany on D-day, where he almost drowned (his lander didn’t fully make it to sho

not sure about “seen it all” but definitely “screamed it all”. I haven’t ridden Bart in a while but i remember the banshee screeches.

it reminds me of how in San Jose, CA, there are several roads that were constructed below the local water table. so effectively there’s always water bubbling/“dripping from below” and causing puddles and erosion.

as another comment said, it makes for a decent indoors apartment grill. i used to use one all the time to make hamburgers or grilled cheese in college.

Fortunately every job I've held had the situation where the manager was fine with me/the team taking make-up time the following day if you were interrupted during offhours. Sure extra comp would be nice, but if on-call has to be d

most of it is trash but there are some items you can order that are a bit more average quality. for instance iirc the quarter pounder patties are grilled in-house and when you order egg on a breakfast sandwich you can choose an option where

FWIW the R35 is used quite a lot in Japan still for things like time attack. Despite the DCT it is a rather capable car.

while i agree the only thing i’ll note here is the aforementioned GTR (R35) never came in manual. It’s definitely quite a bit lighter than the Tesla at least.

it’s not uncommon for engineering orgs to have mentorship programs where mentor and mentee aren’t even on the same team. now i’m not suggesting you turn this into a full-time thing but it wouldn’t necessarily be too unusual for you to spend

for photography, I really enjoy Benjamin Beech from Japan. he does a lot of work for tourism associations there, for instance: https://www.beechphotography.tokyo/visit-mie There’s also Adrien Sanguinetti. He’s also based in

My workplace is mostly hiring LATAM and parts of Europe at this point. Occasionally NA but mostly for higher level engineering positions to backfill roles for people who left.

the homebrew scene is what got me into programming. i knew some of the great minds back then and really idolized what they were able to pull off.

Tokyo metropolitan area is nothing like the SF Bay Area. It's extremely different and so is ridership. Also, if you check out smaller cities in Japan they don't always have as good public transit. Heck, even in Tokyo you can find
