Yeah - they want Salesforce Fin, not Salesforce Intercom.

It's a win, but I'm not sure its the win they were hoping for. A regular congrats is probably sufficient.

Should OP take their mom next time to shut things down for them? You don't have to do what others ask of you, you know. I stand by my original assumption - they were too inexperienced with the world to know you can tell someone no, or lacked the ability to do so.

Well, as someone with autism myself it's relatively easy to spot others, and given the information provided in the post I'd say chances are high. Not sure what rule you're referring to, it looks fine to me - autism is a super power, not a slur.

Yep. This is definitely an OP-is-autistic problem, or is perhaps inexperienced. Not an interviewer problem. Keep it professional. If an interviewer asks a personal question then you simply refuse to answer (politely), or steer it back towards a professional context. If they persist then you end the interview.

Amazing, loved this game when I was younger. I would keep restarting every time I thought of a more effective layout.

I don't think I ever made it to the cathedral though.

2006 was a different time, and Apple was a different company. Now, having control is more valuable. See: iOS App Store.

The value of the walled garden FAR exceeds a single digit hardware sales bump.

Well, that certainly would be one way to wipe billions from their share price overnight.

The only way Linux on Mac will become a reality is if it's legislated.

Has Elon done dumb shit though? He's still winning, it couldn't have been that dumb.

This has to be load related. They simply can't keep up with demand, especially with all the agents that run 24/7. The only way to serve everyone is to dial down the power.

The answer is simple - you price in the chance that an insider could have an edge on you when making your prediction. It's all part of the game.

I had my real-deal moment recently.

I was getting Claude to implement a popular TS drag and drop library, and asked it to do something that, it turns out, wasn't supported by the library.

Claude read the minified code in node_modules and npm patched the library with the feature. It worked, too.

Obviously not ideal for future proofing but completely mind blowing that it can do that.

Deadlifts are how I got into that mess. There are two types of deadlifter: those who have ruined their back, and those who haven't yet ruined their back.

Romanian deadlifts are much safer. Also hip thrusts and weighted back extensions are good enough unless you're a competitive power lifter.

For hamstring stretch I find using a back extension station works well, doing one leg at a time (https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61TQEGNUgQL._AC_UF894,10...). Let gravity pull your torso down, which will stretch your hamstring. If that's not possible, using the corner of a wall works too (https://i.ytimg.com/vi/2U4ChnuL3JM/maxresdefault.jpg)

For the McKenzie stretch (https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e556aadfe97d3...), instead of just holding the stretch, do reps between laying flat and then going into the stretch. At the end of your final rep (I would do 8), rotate side to side gently when arched.

Dead hangs: hang from a bar for 30 seconds, completely relaxed. Then 1 minute of rest. Repeat 3 times. This decompresses your spine.
