If it only takes one course it shouldn't take long for them to get up to speed. Gauge their ability to learn rather than what they have learned.

The author is active on here, that's probably why :)

Europe Universalis is the one that made me actually want to learn history more. Civ was just a game with some historical names attached to units and buildings in comparison.

I think the tell is mostly that gums bleed after flossing if they haven't been flossed in a while.

It sounds like fun, but would you choose to do that in a work setting?

Those do exist! At least one smoke detector in my house has voice (primarily to differentiate between smoke and CO alarms)

Am I mistaken in remembering it was prototyped in PICO-8?

A while back I realized I bought a series I didn't really like after the first book, but forgot about. Audible exchanged each book for a credit no questions asked (even the first one that I did listen to!) That plus the constant credit deals and audiobooks for $5 or less... I don't see how they do it.

No such luck. The Hulu no-ad tier still has ads for a select few shoes.

Probably from larger save files than you'd feasibly be building on the Switch alone.

Yep! We purposefully live within 30 minutes of both sets of parents, but due to covid and their own careers the arrangement didn't help us out as much as we had anticipated.

Programming is state machines all the way down, it's just the convenience of expression that makes a difference.

I remember one summer camp I went to as a kid where the showers were "spicy". Much in the same way a 9 volt battery feels on your tongue. In hindsight... what the hell???

Rehang your christmas lights...

This surely isn't what was meant in previous conversation, but Unreal Engine 5 added MassEntity which is uh... an Entity Fragment Processor approach. (Because Components are already an object that exists, it probably would have been an extra special kind of confusing if it adopted typical ECS naming.)

Even with their Amazon Basics brand, I have a stick blender with a "TUREO" button rather than a "TURBO" button!

With a little instruction anyone can drive a manual poorly :)

78 at my thermostat means some rooms in the upper floor might be 84+!

This is a service provided by the card companies. For instance here's Visa's: https://developer.visa.com/capabilities/vau

Now I'm even more confused, heh. From the previous page:

> If you are a single-member LLC that is disregarded as an entity separate from its owner, enter the owner’s SSN (or EIN, if the owner has one). *Do not enter the disregarded entity’s EIN*

Edit: I suppose the distinction is that you should have an EIN for your name

Surely they've already been getting raises of some sort for the past 7 years! This is just the product catching up.

I think the W9 form says to use SSN in case of a disregarded entity (such as a single member LLC).

One note I remember from my research, variable speed systems are tightly coupled to the thermostat so you may not be able to use an easily automated thermostat. My thermostat shows humidity (Mitsubishi MHK2), but as far as I can tell that doesn't factor into when/how hard the AC runs.

Seems about accurate, but the variable speed systems are a big QoL upgrade regardless. Just being able to have AC on lower speeds has helped a lot with humidity even when the house doesn't necessarily need cooling. We upgraded last summer from a 3 ton unit to a 3.5 ton unit (max size our ducts would support). It's still struggling to hold 75 when over 100 outside and some upper rooms hit 80, but that's more down to our ducts and layout of the house. The lower humidity and constant (yet inaudibly low) air flow makes it feel much more comfortable at 75 than with the old system.

Ah, so housing included in tuition huh? :D (/s)

It's something I consider every couple of years. But unfortunately I see a lot of similarities in the hiring process for much smaller interesting companies hiring remotely that seem to be cargo culting BigCo hiring practices. BigCo from my example were just the only ones to be open enough about what will occur during interviews. Is it something fulfilling? Probably not, but I have 5 years of practically unpaid work to get caught up on.

Glad that worked out for you. After a day of watching my now 1.5 year old the brain fog sets in. I tried grinding Leetcode for a while but the pace of progress was glacial and nowhere near the recommended pace for BigCo interviews. I'm glad I went back to doing my own thing even though nothing has come of it yet. Doing Leetcode felt like memorizing party tricks that wouldn't even guarantee a job at the end.

Sure, but you can also forward declare references!
