A little over a month into my first engineering job, I decided to go for a weekend stroll. I threw my work laptop into my messenger bag on the off chance I'd wind up in a cafe and feel like checking email or poking at some code. Started the day right with a hearty breakfast burrito, popped into the health food store down the street to pick up a couple bottles of local kombucha for later (gotta have those probiotics), and off I went.
After two or three hours of exploring, I noticed something weird: it was a sunny LA afternoon, but I felt something like a drop of liquid hit the back of my leg. I kept walking, but felt another drop, so I stopped and checked. Yep, definitely real and definitely liquid. Also, it smelled like vinegar. Where was it coming from? Who would do such a thing, and how?
Perplexed, I walked on, until my bag started emitting a drawn-out Mac startup tone, and I realized just what I'd done. I opened it up, and sure enough: the seal on one of my kombucha bottles had failed, and its entire contents had emptied into my new work laptop.
I was hoping this would look something more like, given a scenario and a question about it, being able to clearly identify the pieces of information without which the question is unanswerable.
That said, time saving and BS reduction are also valuable goals!
NPOV applies to content, not the editor's motives. People have all kinds of reasons for editing Wikipedia. Trying to police those reasons would be neither possible nor desirable.
Bear in mind that the tech job market is a lot different than much of the U.S. economy right now. There are fields where experienced candidates with strong resumes can go job hunting and hear crickets. To go from that to not really needing any formal credential is a big mental leap.
By the same token, my layman's understanding is that you can kill demand for a very good product or service by pricing it too low (and thereby signaling inferior quality to the customer).
Without defending the researcher here, I thought that was the weakest point in Facebook's response. Was he interacting with Facebook using his synack.com email address during this exchange rather than at some point in the past? Was he signed up on Facebook with his synack.com address? (I haven't used the bug bounty program but it appears to require a user account.) Did he mention his employment with Synack in the course of the exchange? If any of those things were true, I suspect they'd say so, rather than leaving it at "has interacted..."
I don't know, if the guy was just shaking them down then maybe trying to get him fired is indeed a reasonable thing to do, but I don't buy that anyone would have just assumed under the circumstances that he was doing all of this on the clock.
I had a boss who grew up in the neighborhood and held that Di Fara's was a touch overrated (if memory serves, he favored Totonno's or L&B). Still, incredible pizza to this midwestern boy.
Yeah, definitely prepare to wait... and to assert your place in line.
I did a few exercises a while back in the Python, Ruby, and JS modules. Feedback from other users seems minimal; I only received one comment from another user and one automated comment. I haven't commented on others' code, either, but still, it was good practice.
