Recently did 5 interviews, and I liked it. I’d had no issues doing more if needed, just to be on the safe side for both parties.
I guess that when a family doesn’t depend on your job or you are not leaving a good position, it could be OK to join a company after 3 or 4 interviews. But if you have a family or are leaving a good position, there is much more at stake. 7 interviews is not that high of an investment to lower the risk of a bad move, that could have a negative impact on your career and the future of your family.
My 5yrs old kid wants to listen Khea / Duki / Londra all day (I don't, so it's limited :( ). I don't see a lot of connection between listening to music on YT and a career in tech (or my son is going to have a career in tech?)
I do, but not for language learning, but for mathematical proofs and logic proofs. Example "Prove that the dot product between 2 unit vectors is cos θ".
I started to learn Delphi/Pascal yesterday and didn't like the IDEs either (I'm used to VIM keybinds, better autocompletions and automatic indentation). But VSCode has a plugin for Delphi/Pascal that seems to work fine for console programs. I guess that if you need to develop a GUI app you'll still need Lazarus/Embarcadero IDE for the visual frontend of the app.
It would be cool to have package statistics to know which packages are more popular/used. The community is too fragmented at this moment, and there are too many competing packages. While it's good to have diversity, having package statistics will make it easier to choose the best packages for end-users and package developers will focus on improving the most used packages. It will also improve compatibility between packages.
Or is this already implemented? VS Code does it and it's a good feature.
I've been using Xubuntu for over 10 years. Besides a lighter Desktop environment, I don't know if it offers something else. The advantage over Ubuntu+Gnome+XFCE is that there are fewer packages installed on the system, which means there are fewer compatibility issues and fewer packages to update.
Thanks! I'm learning OOP and data analysis. For OOP I use Pycharm and for data analysis I use Jupyter Notebooks (in Lab or VS Code). Sometimes I write some reusable code in .py modules and call them from my notebooks. Anyway, I didn't fully undertand your proposal to use importlib.reload but will try to research about it. For exploratory data analysis, I guess notebooks are better that IDEs.
On average, there is no hourly pay gap for unmarried women and men without kids. After they get married, there is an hourly salary gap, and this gap is even larger for married parents.
As hours worked per day increase, the hourly pay rate also increases and married men spend much more time at their jobs (on average). Hourly pay also increases as experience increases. Married men with children spend more time at their jobs (vs. married women w/ children, on average), so they accumulate more experience over the years. The gap increases when they get older (on average).
Been using it for a while and like it so far. A downside for me is that from every $3 coffee paid by supporters, I only receive $2.39 in my Paypal account :(
A common hypothesis in South America is that Maduro did that on purpose. Maduro and Bolsonaro are on the opposite side of the political spectrum and I don't find that hard to believe.
From a job seeker point of view, there are also lots of job posters that are scams or that want to receive free or almost free work.
Some are just trying to steal applicant’s money or identity, but I’ve also seen legitimate companies asking for long test tasks and disappear afterwards and employees from high profile organizations trying to outsource part of their work but paying $6/hour. Upwork is broken, but this also happens on angel.co and probably on other digital job markets.
Interestingly, most of the advice given in the article for not getting scammed is also true for job seekers.
I have broken my both knee cartilages. First time when I was 23 and recently when I was 35. Fist knee recovered successfully after some years (I'd say about 5 years). The second injury was 2 years ago and the knee is almost 100% recovered, I feel some little pain only after running 10K and also after playing soccer.
Both injuries were in the outer meniscus. There is a difference in the inner and the outer meniscus (perhaps the inner cannot recover because of less blood flow?). I didn't go to surgery.
Things I can do without any pain whatsoever: running 5K at a fast pace, karate, barbell squat.
I've been using XFCE for years. It worked better in my old computer. Now I have a fast i7 w/8GB now and still using old XFCE with Ubuntu. Am I missing a lot?
AFAIK (I'm not a specialist by any means) brain cancer has a long (years) latency time. I've heard that that is why it took a lot of time to diagnosis Hiroshima and Nagashaky survivors. If that is true, we are still inside the latency period.
I agree, they are comparable. A stock can buy a flow for a specific period of time.
Or: a flow, accumulated during a period of time, could buy a stock. For example, "if Netherlands would invest all of it GDP generated during one year, it could buy Apple".
Debt (stock) to GDP (flow) ratio is very useful, because it allows to see the percentage of the yearly GDP that would be needed to pay 100% of the debt.
Maybe there are a lot of other trading algorithms that worked for some time but ended with a loss so big that exceeded all the profits, and we will never see those stats. Publisher bias.
