I've seen this too in the US, the newer machines let them spin the scan around in 3D space and must make it much easier to tell if something needs inspection or not

CitrusFruits · a month ago

Yeah these are pretty common in the US, but they're just not ubiquitous. Many airports will still have a CT machine next to the old one and it just depends on what line you get out in.

I have never owned a truck or a new car and I might buy one if they can truly keep the slate under 20knincluding delivery and all taxes and fees.

CitrusFruits · 2 months ago

IIRC the 20k number depended on the 7k federal rebate that recently expired, so it will probably be more like 27k

Is this aspirational or anecdotal, or is this what technical people in FANNG/tech actually do? I hope it's true but it strikes me as the kind of thing that most technical people involved in the interview process would be too tired/overworked to do.

I've worked at a couple of companies with pay scales on part with FAANG, as well as a startup that was extremely selective in hiring. We rarely looked at GitHub, and never used it as a in a situation where someone got hired. I could see a situation where someone had good open source contributions it might help them get noticed by a recruiter, but that's so incredibly rare and hard to discover that it's kindof the last place people look. Having a good GitHub profile can't hurt, but LinkedIn is still king here

I take it you haven't been to Burma / Myanmar

CitrusFruits · 4 months ago

Having been to both Indonesia and Myanmar, I can say confidently Burmese food is much better. The one exception is the dessert Martabak you can get in Java is to die for.

CitrusFruits commented on How do you spot a Brilliant Jerk? · Posted by u/ten-fold

CitrusFruits · 4 months ago

I think Jerk might be too specific of a term. You probably just want to be looking out for someone you don't want as a coworker.

My goto question is to ask people what motivates them. There's a wide range of answers, but I usually find that what people disclose often helps me understand them better even if they may appear a bit like a jerk, and I can consequently give them more targeted feedback or coaching. I think spending 30 minutes to get to know someone is worth every second and can really help team cohesion and productivity.

Why is 90% enough?

CitrusFruits · 5 months ago

I think the idea is that perfect is the enemy of good here and that getting from 90% to 100% involves tradeoffs that aren't actually worth it from a language ergonomics point of view.

Where did they even get 165F from in the first place? The “classic solution” article uses 400F, a much more appropriate oven temperature.

CitrusFruits · 5 months ago

165F is the safe eating temperature recommended for most meats here in the U.S.

This story reminds me that I have a recurring nightmare: I am driving a car and the brakes hardly work at all, so I am in constant fear that something will go terribly wrong. This nightmare was born from a real experience with my first vehicle, a VW micro bus that had horribly squishy brakes.

CitrusFruits · 5 months ago

I have that exact same nightmare! The harder I press on the brake, the less it does, as if the brake power is following a logarithmic curve. Although I don't really know why I have that dream, no specific experience comes to mind.

I only remember Atom being painfully slow. It was using Electron too btw.

CitrusFruits · 8 months ago

At the time it was actually called "atom shell" iirc. Electron came from Atom.

I can do better than that. Uninstall it.

It's a 600 MB app and you can log back in using only the iOS password manager. Reinstall it when you need to use it.

CitrusFruits · 8 months ago

I think the 600MB part actually makes it harder to only install again when you need it.
