Just some casual kids dying of starvation, shelling. Millions of people displaced. Being shunted around. And a genocide live on social media. Funded by the country most represented on this site.

But yeah there are a lot of problems. I think this one is special as it shows we are going backwards, away from the lessons learned and comventions formed from the Napoleonic and World wars. We are going back to all's fair. And that might come for you or me one day.

That reminds me of arcade games of the early 90s. So that is a decent job making an arcade quality game on a microcomputer (expensive one sure... but still not a dedicated console).

Yes. I think he prefers a car to walking. But there are few trips where you would think "should I drive, or walk?".

He should compare it to HTML or XML or Haml

They also hustle theatre. For every startup job mentioning role impact there is one that doesn't but tries hard to get across how much of Saturday and Sunday you should be working to be consider moral enough to work for them. Then on LI pictures of staff on 24h+ working stints that might kill them.

That's too normal for me it makes LinkedIn sound like Facebook. If it were "why I didnt choose Kubernetes for my current project" then maybe.

Unless its a safe enough disagreement. Lynching on an overconfident but incorrect post for example. As long as correcting it makes you look smart, hard working, a leader.

If you say this it means you probably have tuned who you connect to and your settings well to avoid spammy content. I'm amazed it is possible.

That is in danger of being a typical "weird heuristic" that linked in loves to post about (with high p values).

I have seen people say for recruiting advise.

* They recommend you hustle. E.g. deliver your resume pretending to be a food delivery

* Don't follow up if explicitly not told to by your recruiters instructions.

* You must have an up to date linked in.

Usually in hot take format that if you dont do that you got no chance.

So everyone stick to measuring for the role!

Cut into 8. Give 1 piece each.

For the remaining 3, repeat this method.

Let epsilon be a number as small as you like...

Hey... it is a very useful algorithm for looking smart in design interviews.

And probably etcd uses it or similar.

Put a challenge in. A shitty hidden field honeytrap challenge can massively reduce this without needing to present people with a puzzle.

It's like we have a 3D printer where before there was only injection molding.
