If you never knew it happened, how do you... know it happened? I can't conclusively say one way or the other. I have been a hiring manager at a F500 tech company and have never seen direct evidence of any automatic filtering or rejecti

Yeah, I'm with you, but I agree that we are in the minority. Thanks for the added detail!

Tell me more about the screen. One of the things I've disliked about teslas is the massive touch screen in the middle, and I'm disappointed to see that this has it too, but in most other ways I find this pretty interesting.

After many years at big tech companies, I am now working at my first that has "Architect" as a separate role. While many of my colleagues in that role are great people and very smart, after a few years of living with it, I strongl

I barely know what Wayland is, but this attitude doesn't make me eager to try it.

A lot of this is obviously just personal preference, but the spaceship-like display is the exact reason (well, not the only reason, but a big and emblematic one) that I don't want a Tesla. I have driven them. I do not like the interfac

I have a few former colleagues who were equals (or close) with me early in my career, and are now senior executives at Fortune 500 companies, and it does always make me feel kind of like a loser! But also I think about how much crap they pu

Maybe I've just had bad luck but it seems like the credit unions I've tried are coasting on a reputation that is no longer deserved. Every one I have tried has behaved pretty much the same as any bank, except with worse apps, wors

I almost signed up for Azlo this week! I guess I dodged a bullet!

If you don't mind saying, what is "highly paid" in this context? I have no concept of what sales people make compared to SWEs. How much (if any) pay cut would I be looking at if I took this route?

I've had this same experience. After all the pestering and offers of cash to remove my 3 star review, I lowered it to 1 star.

Personally I’d put a higher frame rate near the bottom of my wish list for a better webcam. First, improve low light performance, autofocus, white balance, dynamic range, and autoexposure. Once those are good then we can talk about frame ra

Almost every Figma user I know (and I know a lot) uses it on a Mac, so I’m not convinced that that’s a benefit they care about.

For at least the last two years, almost every "younger" company I've done video calls with have been using Zoom. A few on Hangouts/Meet. The older companies might still be using WebEx or GoToMeeting. But in my corner of

I’m not sure I can even count the number of outages I’ve been involved in that had DNS issues as at least part of the cause.

Because half of us realize that engineering is a tradeoff (in this case with things like device size/thickness, battery capacity, durability, water resistance, appearance, etc.), and a company making an engineering decision you don&#x2

Regular Amazon customer service is not a bot, it is staffed by a large number of people. They aren't necessarily great (or empowered to be great), but they are humans. If you email the CEO, it goes to a team of people who handle those

Somwething seems wrong if your non-cheap LEDs are dying that quickly. I have an entire house of LEDs, many going on 5-6 years old, and I only ever recall replacing two (and they were a pair, used outdoors -- only one failed, but I replaced

I'm on year 5 or 6 right now with the Cree bulbs I bought.

by zippergz 7y ago
I have some spots in my house where it's a major hassle to change the bulbs, so the long lifetime of LEDs was an important selling point there (in fact, much more important than the energy savings). Thankfully I've had good luck w

Totally agree. I've been both an engineer and a PM at companies large and small. This sharp line distinction between what PMs think about and what engineers do is never productive in my experience.

Mostly fine for me. Every major update has some bugs and issues, but I haven't found it to be substantially worse than any of the others over the many years I've been using OS X.

When I'm on long enough trips to start hitting repetition, I change channels periodically. There are a handful I like, so rotating isn't a bad thing. But yes, I do wish each channel had more songs in rotation at any given time.

I had 6 for a while. Three cars, two home stereos, and a handheld. Most of those eventually became obsolete as the app and Sonos integration became usable, so now it's just in the cars.

I use and love it in all of my cars. I have Spotify and Apple Music too, but there's something about actual "radio" without commercials that I enjoy for longer drives.

I use and like Arq also, but the OP asked for something that covers Linux, which I believe Arq does not.

The later version of this was using IrDA on my Nokia phone to connect my Palm Pilot to the Internet. SO SLOW, but always fun to show off to people.

I hate it when candidates put me on the spot at the end of the interview, because it feels like they're trying to get me to tell them (or at least hint to them) if they're going to get an offer or not. Even if that decision were w

I've been using Twitter daily pretty much continuously since 2008 and I don't remember ever being prompted to upload contacts. I can believe it has happened at some point, but it certainly doesn't repeatedly ask me. I use the
