I am suprised anyone still gives out take-home coding assignments as part of the interview process. I have been hiring for 15+ years and have tried this approach many times. While long time ago maybe it did help a bit…
I can't believe this story ended with a bunch of slogans fit for big corp motivational posters. This was a story of depravity, desperation, starvation and the horrible choices one has to make when they feel that the…
Ukraine has been sounding an alarm about battles happening next to its nuclear reactors. I would think it's very hard to make any nuclear safety guarantees if the power station gets hit with missiles. War also makes…
There are some tools, I think the reason they will never become widespread or high quality is that voice is just not a great medium for conveying that type of info in the first place. If I type a sentence and then…
the article is a bit weird, I think it refers to productivity paradox: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Productivity_paradox But it is a well studied topic, with much more than 5 possible explanations offered for it. I…
given that the article is about inefficient use of content delivery technology, it is poetically ironic to try (and kinda fail) to post said article on a website that doesn't allow the article to be fully posted
Bone conducting headphones for running: Titanium AfterShockz. Love them, and not just because they don't block ambient sounds, but also the sound is almost unaffected by the wind, whereas all the other headphones would…
I followed your advice, turned on VPN, went private browsing and searched for "elm list". On DDG the first result was elm-lang homepage but the second was a tutorial on lists in Elm. Down the page I also saw a wikipedia…
Seriously guys, this belongs on reddit somewhere. Who is upvoting this shit.
Best practice advice used to be "dont leave your commit message empty" and now it seems headed in a direction of some kind of storytelling guide. Up next: the role of character development in your commit messages
> but is this really a wealth transfer from the poor to the rich? Doesn't most tax revenue in the US come from the rich, meaning they're covering most of the bill? Doesn't matter where tax money came from, that part we…
They said they would build somewhere. The only question was which USA city.
All of that would be true in any other location. One could argue other locations actually need such infrastructure more. Amazon was not hiding the fact that they would build HQ2 anyways, and in USA. There was absolutely…
Wow when trying to leave that page I was hit with some of the worst adware attacks I have seen. It completely locked my android browser, filled history with dozens of entries of itself so that I cannot go back, and left…
There is a very interesting theory that claims one of the major factors leading to the start of WWI (not II) was that Germans could not change their mobilization plans to anything softer than outright invasion of…
I also found it bizarre to use this term. It's called World War for a reason, on both sides there were multiple countries and nationalities involved. "German" side was also full of soldiers of Romanian, Hungarian,…
The article pointed out that couple years earlier the captain did exactly as you suggest and pulled away from the brink because of safety concerns. His company punished him immediately with a big demotion. It seems…
If you look around, you will find that info quite easily. Here is just one example of good analysis on that topic: https://www.nakedcapitalism.com/2017/11/legato-brexiteers-fa...
By the way, in the case of Dr Dao it was also not overbooking that caused him to get bumped off, but airline's assignment of lower priority to him than someone else. Just like in the parent article. There were other…
"Too many humans" is a lazy, negligent argument by those who don't want to make any changes in how we conduct business. Deforestation in Brazil is happening not because humanity really needs that lumber. It doesn't.…
That is the truth that is often overlooked. Feedback is not entirely useless, but good managers know that how useful a person ends up being, is not a function of his knowledge at the time of the interview. And that is…
This is idiocy. There is no system in existence that I know of where you will be allowed to sit and try millions of passwords. About the only place I can think of is encrypted partitions, when you somehow obtained the…
