Voice input helped me recover in the past. It was a challenge to get a workable setup, and getting back to the same speed takes a lot of tweaking and experimenting.

Sadly the CPU load and maintaining the setup with ever changing OSes has been too much. Though I do still maintain easier keyboard shortcuts almost religiously. AutoHotKey and Karabinder FTW.

Perhaps dedicated voice hardware can help.

This is great, and something I think a lot of the tech community at large tends to forget.

Being technically proficient is the bare minimum, not the only desired quality.

People forget that interviewing is part knowledge/skill screen, and part first date. You have to know your stuff, of course, but you also have to be someone that others want to be around.

This is not to say that OP lacks these skills, but there is so much focus in tech community around passing technical questions and almost 0 focus on normal interview skills.

The soft/personal skills side of interview is more art than science.

My recommendation is to practice the social side as much as possible. Interview for non-tech positions, hire an interview coach, or otherwise exercise soft social skills as much as possible.

Also remember that at the end of the day, you are being judged against all the other candidates and each hiring manager has a hidden set biases that you will never know about. Even if you crush the interview, there's still a chance they just might not like you.
Especially in terms of resentment, it seems risky to conflate "remote" and "part time", especially without very clear boundaries. This is exactly the fear many managers have about remote work: that it gradually slides into part time work. It's not at all generally accepted that if you can do "a days work" in three hours, you get to take the rest of the day off.

If you want to decouple hours spent from your earnings without risking resentment, you need to find a way to bill firm fixed price for well-defined deliverables. This is very difficult and risky, to say the least (but very valuable if you can pull it off).

I don't agree with the assertion that a negotiated part time agreement with clearly defined boundaries ("John works Tuesdays, Thursday and Friday and isn't expected to be available on email or Slack, except under the same kinds of emergencies when we'd call people on weekends") necessarily created resentment outside of how other workplace status dynamics might create resentment -- meaning, something your boss should manage, and if they can't, that person shouldn't be your boss.
And I say he's wrong.

BoE and the profession of economics in general has a long history of failure to make correct economic predictions. Carney in particular has a catastrophically bad track record of predictions with respect to Brexit and has been publicly and repeatedly slated for it.

He can pull some figures out of the air to claim that the UK has "lost" economic performance compared to some model he won't reveal, if he likes. Those of us who understand the limitations of macroeconomics will roll our eyes and ignore his biased pseudo-intellectual nonsense.
They are slower (by orders of magnitude) than writing them in C or C++, or even PL/pgSQL. Calling into the interpreter for millions of trigger events can quickly become a major bottleneck.

When I originally implemented https://pgxn.org/dist/debversion/ for version numbering, I originally implemented it in Perl, then Python. The implementations were clean, but the performance of both was abysmal. After reimplementing it in C++ with a C interface, it runs like greased lightning. While this is a custom datatype with operators implemented as C functions, the same concerns apply to triggers which are invoked on every affected row.

> We use VPN to analyze traffic and show reports to the user.

A VPN is not necessary to do that. This might leave a reviewer in doubt the VPN doesn't obscure other rule breaking.

I disagree: If the user doesn’t understand the technicalities, then I argue that the device is not for them.
JavaScript is taking over because that is all they teach now a days at these code bootcamps. Once webassembly gets off the ground javascript will die, but we need to get back to native client software. The web was never meant to handle this.
I think it would be better in this case to add a flag to the vendor that indicates it needs the jurisdiction added and the flag should be named for the reason.

Besides being cleaner, when you add the next vendor, you won’t be searching all over the codebase for if(vendor)’s to add new special cases.
I use the Feedly iOS app - never used or even seen the website. What I like about the app, is the "all done!" message at the end of your daily feeds. It's a nice reminder/poke to get off the phone and get on with life.
They shouldn't do this.

One time I made an order with a few things, but namely cat litter and an (expensive) air filter. The cat litter and air filter were cutely packaged together with no protection for the air filter. Of course the air filter was smashed and unusable.

I forgot this "bug" twice more and realized they weren't going to fix the issue. I determined that I should not order these items from Amazon lest they ban me for returning the filters too many times. I sent feedback each time, but I guess they'd rather just ban customers or whatever.
The Advantage layout is definitely one that sort of insists on two hands if you want to reach anything that the right hand types regularly and/or you want to use the arrow keys. The keywells are open on the outside edge, so it is pretty easy to slide one's hand over onto a mouse or trackball, but I agree that a conventional layout has at least some advantage there (I think a split keyboard would fall somewhere in the middle).

I don't find it to be much of an issue in practice, because I use the Advantage 2 along with a CST L-Trac trackball, which sits right beside the keyboard and can be operated with just a couple of fingers. They have a model which can accept external buttons, which is the one I got, so I also have duplicated the LMB and RMB next to the other side of the keyboard. In this way I could theoretically use the cursor with my left pinky and click with the right pinky without taking my hands off the keyboard, although it's not particularly effective (or necessary).

FWIW I am someone who uses mouse-driven interfaces all the time, although I guess emacs more than makes up for it with the amount of keyboard activity it demands.
I'm only an Android user, but I got an app ( https://github.com/M66B/NetGuard/releases ) that does the same, but just uses a local VPN to analyze traffic and block what I don't want. There isn't even a server it could talk to. What is the problem with that on iOS ? Sending my whole traffic to your server is not worth the analyzing you do, even if you block what I don't want like NetGuard does.
First, I want to say I largely agree with you.

Second, I want to say that the 10% of a company's values/missions that aren't tautological marketing catch phrases are actually -incredibly- important, and can directly contribute to a company's success. The fact 90% deviate is more to do with companies not realizing how important it is to not just be marketing fluff, than any intrinsic value or lack thereof of having such a statement.

Fundamentally, a company has many decisions where they have to choose A or B, not both. Oftentimes these decisions are made at a level the CEO or similar has no insight into. To be able to ensure people make the right decisions and are all pulling in the same direction, a culture has to be adopted. Mission statements, value statements, etc, are the only tool the CEO really has to shape that culture, beyond simply hiring into the roles directly underneath him (which is hard to do without insight into what is going on beneath -them-). The Culture Code has a great segment in it about how Johnson & Johnson's credo (specifically, "We believe our first responsibility is to the doctors, nurses and patients, to mothers and fathers and all others who use our products and services") led to its handling of the cyanide in the tylenol incident, which saved the product line (when every analyst was like "that's done, no one will trust Tylenol again"), as well as introduced the now ubiqitous tamper proof packaging.
Most people outside the US are probably committing tax fraud in their home country.

>yet this did not hold them back from special casing generic support for things they implemented themselves.

My point is that essentially all statically typed languages allow parameterization of built-in datatypes. C does this, for example, since it distinguishes arrays of ints from arrays of pointers to ints. No-one usually says that C has generics, special-cased or otherwise. The idea that adding generics is "just" a matter of extending parameterization of arrays to user-defined data types seems to be largely limited to anti-Go rhetoric. The implicit suggestion is that the Go designers could have chosen to allow users to parameterize their own types, but didn't do so because of [insert bad intentions]. In fact, adding a true generic type system to a language is a vastly more complex undertaking than merely allowing parameterization of built-in types. It totally makes sense that a language designer might decide to do the latter but not the former. It's not an arbitrary restriction tacked on because Rob Pike doesn't trust you to use generics correctly.

My method is similar, except that once it boils, I stir the rice once and then simmer on medium high heat until the water level gets down to the surface of the rice and steam pockets (“rice eyes”) appear. Then reduce heat to lowest and cover for 20 min.

Why the scare quotes? It is a fact, study after study shows that people who have iPhones spend more money in average[1]. This gives Apple a sort-of monopoly in the sense that if you want to earn money you kind of need to get iPhone customers.

Also I did not say that the platform is flawed, or criticised the fact that Apple vets applications. If anything I would like Apple to test the applications even more because there is still a lot of malware and crap apps there. (e.g.: fake VPN apps, virus scanners and whatnot).

Not to say that the platform is flawless, there is a genuine problem if you wish to create an app that Apple has not yet thought of because even if it might be technically possible, the rule 2.5.1 is there against you. In this particular case the developer has wrestled the VPN API to extract browsing patterns (from what I understand). This is not something you should do with a VPN, rather it should be done as a browser extension but hey, iOS does not have that.

>In a democracy the government is you, not an organization out to get you.

Don't know if you missed this bit, but these rollbacks were voted on and approved by Republican (and Democrat) representatives, who in turn were voted for by the people.

It is possible to believe in democracy and also believe in limited government.

Hi! I’m the tech lead on AutoCAD web. The engine is C++ which is compiled to Web Assembly, our core team doesn’t actually work in JavaScript day to day.

In every one of the interviews that I have seen, he is cherry picking answers. He never directly answers them and purposefully makes broad statements that cannot be actually proved. This man created the biggest social media to date, which I thankfully do not use, which spies on its own customers, censors anyone who does not agree with the company's political views and sells personal data to anyone who can make a high bid. I wouldn't be surprised if Putin asked him to compile a list of all of the Russian people who talk poorly of him and Zuck just gave that list to him for a quick buck.

EDIT: I also love how he orders the court to stop and then "[He] seemed most uncomfortable at not having his orders instantly carried out."
I'm an SRE at Google. I switched to 3 days/week (Tuesday/Wednesday/Thursday) on January 1, 2018, and it's been insanely great. Every weekend is now a 4-day weekend. I now have the time and energy to make meaningful progress on personal projects on which I was previously stuck for a long time.

As expected, my annual vacation time (along with my salary, bonus, stock grants, and stock vesting) is 60% of what it was when I was full-time. However, holidays that fall on Monday or Friday (of which there are about 8 per year for U.S. Googlers) now generate comp time for me to take whenever I want. Furthermore, about once per quarter I have a week-long oncall shift which requires me to be in the office for 8 hours on Monday and Friday; each of these oncall shifts generates 2 comp days for me to use later (a total of 8 comp days per year).

Working only Tue/Wed/Thu means I can go away for 11 consecutive days by taking only 3 days off. So far this year I have:

- taken a 10-day trip to Japan,

- taken a 10-day trip to Iceland and the UK, and

- done a 10-day silent meditation retreat.

Google has HR policies that support flexible work schedules. I wouldn't be surprised if this were the case at most of the larger tech companies.

Dabbled in CAD in school and shadowed a mechanical engineer in the late 90s. From what I saw some CAD users only need basic drawings with a few hundred or thousand lines. Even for modeling in 3D the games I was playing and modeling for looked more complex.

Here's the study saying that alcohol has protective effects: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/28818200

Not the first one of its kind but pretty large sample.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20636661

Here's a study showing that drinking a little alcohol lowers your chance of having liver cirrhosis compared to drinking no alcohol.

https://sci-hub.tw/10.1111/add.13627

Here's the criticism.

> We would like to add to her discussion of the significance of former and occasional drinker biases in this literature and highlight how they can cause both overestimation of cardioprotection and underestimation of cancer risks across the whole drinking continuum. The underlying theory here is that, as a population ages, a selection bias operates whereby individuals with poorer health are more likely to cut down or stop drinking completely. Such individuals are often still classified as ‘abstainers’ and used as a reference against which all current drinkers are compared. In simple terms, they make drinkers at all levels of consumption ‘look good’ by comparison.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26997174

Guys above then adjust for the mistake. The benefits disappear. Mortality risk grows as alcohol consumption increases. Yeah, there are people with protective genes, but on a population scale, recommending to go from 0 to N glasses of alcoholic beverage a day is insane.

I have personally increased my alcohol consumption, which was obviously dumb, given that the data was flawed. After this study I don't think I'll have more than couple of drinks per year.
