Actually I think those are great questions for a bank: liquidity crises still happen to banks and it's worse when other people's/user's money is also involved/entangled. Plus we are in an "exciting" era of "innovation" in banking where a bank's products aren't always as stable as you think or exactly what you think they are. If they are chasing "products" that aren't traditional accounts, that's important and useful to know. If they are chasing those and haven't any idea if they've made product-market fit, that's a good sign to run.

(I've had at least one interview with a bank that I didn't bother with any next steps for exactly these sorts of reasons.)
Considering how worried the orcs were about informants reporting them for sedition, it sounds less like a modern military and more like one of the militaries where commissars shoot anybody who retreats. Add on to that the fact that Mordor's population is almost entirely enslaved, and it sounds rather like Stalin's USSR but with more competently-run agriculture.
Because the vast majority of engineers working on the code base are employed by the management. They can't just do their own thing & remain employees. Plus the FF code is controlled by Mozilla corp. You have full freedom (as an outside contributor) only in the sense you can always fork, not that you can somehow force Mozilla to accept your patches. Same as Android and all other major OSS controlled de facto by corporations. True community led OSS is quite rare, especially among the market leading software among their category.

None of those are straw men; I've heard every single one, including one of my favorites "cow overpopulation" from you "cheese goddess" specifically.

The same way plenty of farm animals are supplemented with b12 for later human consumption, it's mindlessly easy to get the adequate amount of b12 in a vegan diet. Tons of vegan food come fortified, and if not, a 1000mg supplement once a week couldn't be simpler.

Both the American Dietetic Association[0] and British Dietetic Association[1] confirm that a well-planned vegan diet is healthy for all stages of life.

This applies if the masses' perception of your importance is as inflated as your own. It fails in contexts where the person messaging you can just move on without your input. ie., I'm making a decision and I'm informing you as a likely-interested party. I'm not going to force you to be included if you're not actively including yourself, and if the decision doesn't have the outcome you desired, that's on you.

And this doesn't work for my inbox. If you're cold-emailing multiple times, your emails are already going to spambox, and each is just earning you another negative ding. This goes for all tech recruiters and anyone who succeeds at guessing my work email using context clues from LinkedIn. I don't owe you my attention any more than I owe it to any other stranger on the street.
I use vim for a living. I need it to work. Always. Neovim in my experience hasn't been as stable, not by a longshot. Neovim adds things I don't care about (lua, lsp, treesitter) while taking away things that are essential to me (gvim, rock solid stability).

I mean, it has nothing to do with where the hardware is from. It has a lot more to do with, say, the lack of questionable "features" like Intel Management Engine, and actual open specifications and broad support from existing open source drivers. Rather than speculating, read more about the choice of processor here: https://www.crowdsupply.com/mnt/reform/updates/re-introducin...

Edit: consider the fact that two noteworthy open-hardware-focused products are coming from a similar region of the world is more an indication of their understanding of the importance of privacy and openness, rather that some kind of "deranged" motives. :)
With unattended-upgrades you might get away with such behavior. Also, spme webservers have a great track record. Then its the question if your other services are secure, and your JS/CSS.
A transpiler/compatibility layer is usually fine, but what you (probably) want instead is a IBM VSAM, IBM JCL, and IBM CICS transpiler/compatibility layer instead - COBOL by itself is very simple and we have working compilers for it already; JCL, VSAM and CICS however, not - that's where the real complex, distributed and hard to reason about parts are.

This is very clever reasoning. "Of course I understand how these interviews work; of course I understand what it means to pass them. Hmm? No, I have a lot of trouble passing them. Oh, you don't? Well your experience is irrelevant."

What if — and hear me out on this one — the people passing these interviews consistently understand them better than you do? I know, it's a nigh incomprehensible concept, but if you really struggle with it for a while maybe it will make some sense.
I live in the US, and so far the only people that knew are the very few news skeptics that follow international news sources online. And even then, we had to share with each other a lot.

But I had watched documentaries about Ukraine years ago, and since most people watch only Fox news, CNN, MSNBC, etc... they knew nothing at all.

So when Russia invaded most people were shocked, where I, and those few others that were information, were not as suprised.
To put it bluntly, you are screwed where you're currently working. If they can't prioritize a decent machine for you to work on, then they really don't value your work as a developer. (Most likely, they don't value any developer's work.)

The reason you're getting downvoted has nothing to do with the "progressive narrative" and everything to do with the fact that your posts are off-topic.

I do remember that, and as I pointed out in the thread at the time, New Jersey was asking for volunteers: https://www.cnbc.com/2020/04/06/new-jersey-seeks-cobol-progr...

My first dev job was COBOL on a Unisys mainframe. When the volume of "omg we need COBOL devs" articles got loud, I looked into what was available. The compensation graph for COBOL positions approximately matches those of any other dev job. You can do as well (or better) as a Python dev or Node dev or whatever.

The key to making more money is in specialization. The highest-paying jobs are looking for experience with specific combinations of technologies.

But being a Python dev has the added advantage of not having to deal with COBOL. ...speaking as someone who used Unisys' STRING/UNSTRING OS functions to implement input variable interpolation in COBOL because it has no native string operators or data type.
I wish the developers would all organize, break off ties with Mozilla, and endorse a fork as the new real Firefox.

Cloudfront is terrible for DDOS protection though, given that there is a per request pricing (and no, AWS WAF doesn't help as it just imposes additional pricing on top, the only thing it does is to prevent Cloudfront from processing those requests.)

However, if your statement is generally about CDNs such as Cloudflare or Bunny.net that don't have per request pricing, it makes sense.

It may well be that you're entirely correct, and this is what's happened. But another dev out there might say the same thing in a different situation, and the answer could be that they've gotten stuck refactoring other people's code that didn't need to be.

IMO Google Cloud has the solution for this - access to APIs is off by default and you must enable API access before anything will work. Their portal is pretty good at estimating costs in the first place, so resources created there aren't much of an issue, but having to use the portal to enable programmatic access is a great way to avoid mistakes.
The questions are fine, though some of the skillsets could be refined. The problem is that you require potential job seekers to give up personal information to even see any of the positions that match. At least give a sample of results before requiring a signup. A serious job seeker is going to go elsewhere before signing up for an unknown.

Expensive food items are part of the Japanese gift giving culture. These aren't meant for everyday consumption. Rather, this is a way to give a gift that won't take up space in the home.

Neovim doesn't solve any problem I might have with Vim.

> Neovim is backwards compatible with existing vim packages

It's not. Vim development was going strong at the time Neovim was forked and it has been going strong ever since so the two have diverged in noticeable ways. Neovim may be compatible with most <7.4 plugins but a lot happened since then.

> and has a better looking future as far as longevity (multiple maintainers vs benevolent dictator)

Neovim wouldn't even be a running executable without the decades of hard work by that "benevolent dictator" and hundreds of contributors so, we will see when we get there.

> using lua for scripting (there's still support for vim script)

Well, Vimscript is fine. I have written a number of plugins with it and I have nothing to complain about. FWIW, Vim has had a Lua interface for 10 or so years so, if you really love Lua, go for it.

Macs always get good benchmarks when it comes to disk speed, and I think the software then lets it down. APFS was disappointing (although maybe thats changed now),

Finder could take as long to list a large folder as Explorer on a grotty spinning rust PC would. Even on my swanky new M1 mac, browsing through the disk has a noticeable lag when compared with Windows or Linux.

Builtin Archive utility is noticeably slower than alternatives too, which makes things like XCode updates particularly slow even after you've finished downloading.
Must balance cost of living and all of the non-voluntary deductions on a paystub including insurance. Parts of the us pay real well but require lots of money to have a reasonable existence. For example, us pays way more in social security tax than Canada, and they get noticeably more in benefits. So that and Medicare balance out the higher provincial tax in most of Canada. There are probably similar differences between the us and any European country.

Quality of life (very) hard to put a price on, but that relevant as well.

Another issue is around the slow decay into a theocracy.

You have sitting members of congress saying “I’m tired of this separation of church and state junk.”, and my conservative relatives talk openly and widely around wanting to revoke the second amendment and make this a true christian nation.

Will this happen? Maybe not, but I feel like it's entirely possible that it could, and I don't want to be here for that. I grew up in a hyper religious environment and my life is measurably better existing without religion. I don't want to go back to living in that environment.

In combination with a base backup, you can use streaming WAL backups with Postgres, shipping compressed WAL files to S3 or wherever. I like WAL-G for this.

You'll actually need to almost perfectly regurgitate the memorized solution, stumbling only enough to give a convincing theatrical impression that you're developing this algorithm on the spot instead of having memorized it (even though the original development of the algorithm probably took years of research).

> Software isn't construction, it's gardening, and it requires constant maintenance and attention.

Software is like construction, you don't demolish everything and start from scratch just because it's a little, or very old.

Discarding everything and rewriting in another language is a expensive and error prone process.

I missed that the first comment you responded to was the one that suggested the Republicans didn't have a plurality. Thought you brought up a question of who has less than a plurality when both Republicans and Democrats clearly have at least a plurality.
I interviewed at Facebook and knew the exact moment I was rejected. I was asked to whiteboard a bit of code, and feeling a bit of “when in Rome” I decided to use PHP - I mean - Facebook, right?

Do you have any more detail on that? http://redprogramming.com/ doesn't mention cryptocurrencies anywhere.
There is some academic work in this area. If you're searching, use the terms "electrophoretic", "EPD", or "epaper" rather than "eink". Most focuses on either readability or subjective evaluation rather than eyestrain though. There's also a lot of related work on optimal contrast/luminance ratios independent of display type. Generally I think the reason people subjectively prefer eink is because the research tends to find that (for users that do not require visual accessibility accomodations) readability decreases after the luminance contrast ratio exceeds about 10 (e.g., Wang and Chen 2000), which puts eink in a natural sweet spot, and the need to increase LCD backlight brightness in well-lit rooms (e.g., Miyao et al. 2016).
