You don’t need to reveal 20 years of experience. You could talk about how many years of experience will satisfy them. If they ask for 5 years of experience with some tech stack talk about stuff you did with it 7 years ago and onward. Be vag

It can be fairly trivial to hide your age and if you’re doing remote work using filters will make you look deceptively young. By the time the company ever finds out your actual age it’s too late. You should also avoid revealing your age to

As an adult I recognize now I was hopelessly addicted to computers as a child, and I wasn’t just playing games and talking to friends on AIM or ICQ, I was figuring out how things worked, experimenting with viruses, trying to understand HTML

Because stereotypically British aren’t seen as very threatening people, they sound quite docile really. There’s also a lot of exposure to British accents in popular media compared to the others.

There was a demo of a Linux OS that simply boots to vim and that’s the only thing you could do on that machine. It would be perfect for this use case.

The logic of inhaling fumes is not much farther removed from the logic of jumping out of a burning skyscraper. Anything to avoid burning to death.

If a huge fire breaks out on a plain mid flight, you realistically have no chance of survival right? So instead of trying to survive only to get burned to death you should inhale as much fumes as possible to pass out and die quickly before

Or how about: stop spoiling students and make them pick up a pencil and write down some damn code. I took tests by hand all my life and even in college I think most computer science tests that weren’t “implement this big project” were all d

The solution is trivial. Have students write the algorithms in pseudocode in class by hand, on paper.

If it doesn’t work you get your money back. The worst case scenario is it works but you die in a car crash anyway.

Why stop at .jpg? Imagine every file extension was a domain. Imagine all the public files of the world existing on the internet at their very own URL. It’s like the internet was just one massive directory of files. Now wouldn’t that be amaz

Plastic surgery is not a clear example, tell that to a burn victim or cleft lip child or anyone with a deviated septum.

I wonder if we could solve content moderation at scale through gamification. Imagine a game where the content you saw was actual content from somewhere and your decisions could influence if it gets taken down. In exchange, you get points.

This is a very retail oriented view of the world. For the big players it’s trivial to move stock any time of day, there are various methods, they aren’t sitting around waiting for financial markets to open.

Before you think about making something that quickly reads 8-K filings and acts upon it: don’t bother. A bunch of entities are already doing this way faster than you ever can through various methods and by the time you get the data the oppo

Don’t know why you’re being downvoted. Scrolling through TikTok or most social media it’s obvious most content is just people doing their own variation on some stupid trend.

No way around it. We already have some form of ecofascism by forcing companies to adhere to environmental regulations, for no other reason besides “the environment must be protected”. Getting a military involved is just the last resort when

It is 100% not an issue. The human eye and ears can’t tell if some video or audio is fake, but you cannot hide from the machine. Deep technical analysis will easily reveal something is manufactured, as easily as it can tell an image is phot

My most surreal encounter with tensegrity was at a dinner party I was invited to in Dubai where an entire dining table was built around the concept. It was a massive table that seated about 25 people, looked like it defied gravity and only

This might seem obvious but… can’t you decide to not do those things? You’ve heard the advice to live within your means? Having two kids and a non-income producing partner when you make minimum wage is not living within your means. That

$15/hr is a living wage, and pretty good for such easy work you can do from home with little to no training. Many would love to have this job.

I think people who think ChatGPT is good at role playing just don’t know what really good role playing is.
