I like my MB Pro but it has serious audio and external display issues. I've had to remove spotlight indexing to prevent obscure OOM issues. One time I woke up to open my laptop and find it's screen cracked for no apparent reason. Since I couldn't prove it wasn't my fault I was charged for the repair anyway and I'm grateful to myself that I had AC+ because I might have as well just bought another laptop if not. At the end of the day, it's still just a computer.

Long reply but last October I had pretty enjoyable interview experience during a front-end screening at Google, for which I absolutely grinded LeetCode.

To my surprise, it was an actual front-end task. I told him jokingly "What, no leetcode?" to which he laughed saying "I have my ways". To my even bigger surprise, it was also a DSA question in disguise.

After writing a component to render out a filesystem tree view, the interviewer asked me which algorithm I was applying for this task. I never really think of algorithms when doing front-end, only in terms of design patterns, but the answer was immediately clear that I was using DFS. Sadly I didn't get a follow-up, I thought I just didn't pass. Then a few days after one of their massive layoff rounds, got an e-mail saying I did great but weren't hiring anymore, lol.

But I liked this approach so much that I've used variations of this question when interviewing candidates at my job. The task itself is incredibly simple, but a surprisingly amount of people can't solve it or complicate it unnecessarily without or before asking for clarification. I also tell them it's not necessary to write executable code. This somehow confuses people a lot? I've found a lot of candidates not comfortable writing code without an IDE, even with an "open-book" and when told it doesn't have to run.

I thought so at first, but the repo's[0] owner and the first name listed in the article has Seoul National University on their Github profile. Far away from a small academic institution.

Reading The Denial of Death was a particularly interesting experience to me in my early 20's and, honestly, brought a lot of peace of mind regarding my future.

Fitia. I don't think there's anything special about it compared to other nutrition tracking apps, but it does the job.

vor 2 Jahrendiscuss

Glad that helped!

If it serves as a guideline, the calorie tracking app I use has a default serving suggestion of 100-150g, raw, for different meats. So even 2 servings of those, twice a day, would still be around half of 2 of those steaks, which happens to be about what I eat in a day, between chicken and lean beef.

Different things come to mind with the size of those steaks but honestly I would just be assuming things and spouting probable nonsense. If they're packaged raw, I would check if they're heavily injected with water to boost the marketable weight. If it's not cheap meat it's probably not an issue.

vor 2 Jahrendiscuss

1kg of meat a day is a lot, but it obviously depends on what your diet is and what your body needs. This differs for all of us, so I can't say if you're making a mistake or not.

Some people can make do just fine with that but they're usually burning that off or actually consuming the excess protein from post-exercise recovery, even then, 1kg is still a lot.

A lot by how much, that depends on your body composition and the fat percentage of those steaks.

But anyway, on data: Red meats are classified as <probable carcinogenics> (key: probable). https://www.who.int/news-room/questions-and-answers/item/can...

Quantifying data: "The cancer risk related to the consumption of red meat is more difficult to estimate because the evidence that red meat causes cancer is not as strong. However, if the association of red meat and colorectal cancer were proven to be causal, data from the same studies suggest that the risk of colorectal cancer could increase by 17% for every 100 gram portion of red meat eaten daily."

What is not clear to me is if this was measured raw or cooked. Cooked meat will shrink and weigh less.

If I were you, I would just go get some checkups, see if you got any deficiencies or anything wrong that might be caused by your eating habits, and if not, just keep enjoying your 1kg of pork steak a day... anyway, I'm amazed you can eat that much pork in a single day, lol.

Outside of first world countries, way too many of them. But that's outside the scope of this thread since the layoffs situation is mostly, if not completely, concentrated within the US.

Hard requirement to be a US citizen? Visa-holder residents not allowed?

vor 3 Jahrendiscuss

I hope you meant jump.

Eh, well I'd like to agree, I know more than a few people that had harder internship interviews compared to their fulltime ones.

Luck is definitely a factor in interviews. You can never be fully prepared even if you 100% match the posted job requirements, so you better hope your interview relates to stuff you are prepared for....

This is, of course, just anecdote, but one of them was a good friend who failed their internship interview and passed a fulltime interview just 6 months later, both at Google... so there wasn't that much of a skill difference in-between.

Similar, in a much a bigger scale, but with the big difference that Zelda applies rewind to objects instead of the whole level.

Also, world state is not deterministic like Braid's levels, so entities can lose its rewindable status or have their state history modified depending on certain factors (a destroyed or lost object can't be brought back with rewind, etc.).

You'd use a lined fretless bass this way, so it might have been a lined fretless guitar on that drawing!

Also, when you're pressing a fret, the pitch isn't coming from where you have your finger, but from the following fret which is making contact with the string. You can actually press the actual fret instead of the area between the fret and the one before it, and it should sound the same.

Now if the person that drew this knew that, I don't know.

It would be reasonable to think that the candidate with a ton of OSS contributions has a passion for something, which luckily for the company it happens to be coding.

It would be really useful if you could add a mic test option to monitor input levels. Managing input devices on the browser can be a big pain....

Also this one is just my opinion, but I think the input volume visual feedback is not very noticeable. Maybe play around with your colors or effects to make it more contrasting?

This is really fun, though. I'll be coming back to it.

vor 6 Jahrendiscuss

I'm the opposite. I don't dislike my job, and I absolute like the people I work with.

But earning 800$ a month for the amount of work I do is soul crushing. Life in Mexico is cheaper, but not that much cheaper.

At 25, I know I'm still young, but I also know I could be earning much, much more than that but I haven't had any luck with interviews recently.

At this point, the only thing I wish for is being able to rent a place on a relatively safe neighborhood without spending 70% of my salary on it.

It's most likely going to be a bargain bin next year, so you might not need to wait that long, lol.
