hiei··on Against Little Free Libraries (2017)
Look I don't use the actual library as much as I want to (Seattle). When I was job hunting it was one of the last places I went to to be productive. The open hours are abysmal,(10AM-6PM) was a common one. That being said I have found use in these tiny libraries just knowing I might pick up something interesting - and I try to return or find another spot to donate a book of my own. It's not like they're stealing funding from the city? Virtue signaling? Wealthy neighborhoods? Some people just like books and want to give back.

hiei··on Phone Numbers Stink as Identity Proof

hiei··on Show HN: Blogcast – Generate audio versions of your articles
$.50 per article? "Unlimited article length" - I'd be concerned about abuse. Surely you're paying Google for parts of paid usage?

Forgive me - I meant personal storage solutions.
hiei··on So Long, MSDN Blog

hiei··on Lambda School (YC S17) now pays eligible students $2k/month
RE: Those interviewing at Lambda (rejected)

Luck of the draw with who decides to interview you, I had a guy from the admissions team with zero enthusiasm essentially just reading off of a list of questions. I tried to answer well but giving off good energy from a dead duck is hard. I also was more practical with my answers of wanting to get into coding, jump in profession, curious, experience as a BA, writing technical docs and general data analysis. Each response by the interview was simply: "hmmm ok." Rejected around ten minutes after my TEN minute call. PS tell them you love coding, live and breathe it, etc.

hiei··on Can fake names create bias in interviewing?
I always considered something similar with my name. For example if my legal name is Ronnie should I put Ron/Ronald on professional resumes/LinkedIn? Even though that's not my real name. Or Donnie vs. Don/Donald. Tommy vs. Tom/Thomas. It just seems anything ending in "ie,y" appears less professional.
