America. It's a bit hyperbolic, but is it really discrimination to want to hire a person who meets all your requirements? Oh, single person. Ha, it is illegal to discriminate on the basis of civil status. They meant it as "one per

It took me a year to find a new job. I got rejected from on-sites 8 or 9 times, a few other rejections before that. I've been through everything the OP has and more. I was once forgotten in an interview room while my interviewer played

I tried a bunch of different images and I got 'two giraffes near a tree' a bunch of times. They were drawn images though.

Yeah, re-embracing is correct. Lack of physical buttons on my paperwhite is a pain because the OS starts to severely lag after a few weeks of usage and turning the page can sometimes take 2-5 seconds. I've actually been looking around

I don't really see the point of the charging cover. I have a 2 year old paperwhite and I charge it about once every two months. That being said, I really like the new design. Glad they're embracing physical buttons.

I should specify that I've been mainly listening to WNYC. I wouldn't exactly call their run-of-the-mill pieces "fluff", but they're becoming more of an attempt at radio clickbait. "Stay tuned to hear the tale o

I've been listening to NPR for ~2 hours each day during my commutes for about 2 years. While I really like it, they're not unbiased like they may have you believe. They don't always up and say it, but their most common tactic

Good point, I'll update the description - I really want to know what questions I should be asking with regards to my options in order to assess their value.

Ask HN: What must I know about options before accepting a startup offer?

I'll take a stab: it's like sending mail in transparent envelopes.

Or it's "long form", which is increasingly becoming an excuse to neglect any attempt to captivate readers. Images in lieu of good writing is bad, but long drawls of text aren't much better.

Thanks! I got it from reading the Metro: 2033 book (which is really fantastic). I too have a fascination with subways

Nice! Really liked the sunk cost part. However, sometimes leaving isn't really a good idea because it's another N minutes to another station, which could take you M minutes farther from your destination than your current train, wh

Not knowing about Leipzig[0], I've been trying to come up with my own representation of music in JS to work with the Web Audio API. My biggest puzzle so far is how to a) keep a rhythm and b) allow musical "blocks", which are

Occasionally I'm motivated to do some work so I don't "break the chain". I try not to sweat it though.

For automated building/deploying .NET projects on Windows you have very little choice. Powershell has its own libraries to invoke MSBuild and it's integration with .NET saves a ton of effort on more complex tasks (like paralleliza

Is it me, or are there horrible stability issues on Windows 10? I cannot have more than one editor open without one of them crashing. This is an issue on 3 of my W10 machines.

I don't know if a standard library would actually fix the problem of package over-use. I keep seeing examples of projects importing _ or something similar when the feature they use already exists in the standard. You don't need

I don't have an issue with modules or the Unix philosophy, I have an issue with using NPM for all these tiny modules. Hint: you can make your own modules, store them within the project, and add them to your package.json to be required

In my experience, pairing interviews usually falls into two categories: one where you're tapping away at a problem while your interviewer is doing a work assignment (but please ask me questions), and the second is where the interviewer

Can you please show a demo/screenshots without me having to sign up? I'm interested but I have no idea how it works (do I need a microphone? iphone? etc), and I won't sign up until I know I can actually use it.

Finally, a post that validates the usefulness of my BS in electrical and computer engineering (despite being a JS guy now)! But seriously, I believe that hardware understanding is extremely useful for all sorts off tangential tasks related

How is this assessment any better than judging a physical community based on their loudest/most controversial members? The "4chan garbage fire" is a rude stereotype.

You can't directly access the classNames of child components i.e. if the component is composed of an <h1> inside of a <div> (with <div> being the top-level component), you cannot directly set the className of the h1 i

I've used a similar, albeit more opinionated library for boilerplate UI stuff (modals, dropdowns, etc.) and the issue I have with it is styling. It works fine for the well-defined use cases but when you need to style something not part
