Reasonably ~5 hours of coding, maybe sometimes less on days with a lot of meetings.

Rest of time on HN, reading, or admin type stuff (planning, ticket & branch management), and of course meetings

Yea, many nights of mine were spent converting finger movements into headshots. So your work is appreciated.

It is just amazing to me that it was such a downgrade. Granted, the Xbox Ones menu system has improved over the years. But it still is sloppy feeling, laggy at times, and just overall non user friendly. Like you have some menus where you have to press different buttons for actions (like inviting people to a game) and otheres where you select the option with 'A'.

I may be a bit jaded because it was so awful at launch, but I still feel like it never got close to as clean and usable as the 360.

I will stop ranting now.

Totally agree. Although offering "simpler" functionality, the oldschool menu and UI system on the Xbox 360 was LIGHTYEARS ahead of anything the Xbox One has put out. Everything was fast and easy and as expected, from lobby systems, profile viewing, and party chat/party lobbies. I feel like the One was a major step back, UX wise, from the 360

He still makes a point if for example country A is 8% poorer yet paying 40% less.

This seems like good advice. I think there have to be SOME learnings that will help you grow at this job. I once took a job with one of the largest IT companies in the world, even though the tech and "culture" seemed opposite of what I wanted. But I learned a whole lot, because companies that big are making 1000s of mistakes every month, and you learn from mistakes. You get to see what NOT to do, how NOT to manage people, etc.

There is also a lot of resume building opportunity with a "situation" that isn't ideal, as the previous poster mentioned: can you make some progress on transitioning their stack out of nothing? can you go a bit beyond the job role and have some great things to talk about in your next interview?

I am not saying dedicate your life to a job you hate, but maybe finish out your first year then evaluate your options -- and try to make the most of the rest of the time you are there.

Did anyone else find this title pretty confusing before clicking the link?

foreign service markets become more attractive, americans again lose jobs to outsourcing, will be interesting to see how this plays out. I certainly think in the short term it will be better for the American worker (in terms of employment, mobility, higher wages), but long term?

man ABAP gives me night terrors

Common sense tells me that inhaling any foreign chemical in high concentrations and habitually is not a good idea.

Totally. I fully 5/5 loved the first season, but it started to go in a direction I didn't love towards the end.

I couldn't even make it through the first episode of season 2.

so this is for capturing shower thoughts?

It is sad we can't assume any objectivity in any research/studies based on who is sponsoring them these days.

Not saying their study was biased, just that the joke plays to an assumption we all make.

I think it ultimately comes down to the vaporization tool. Older brands and vaporization techniques used by things like the Volcano or Silver Surfer, I would consider pretty safe. But once you get into the lower budget vaporizers, e-cigs, wax on metal coils, I think it gets more sketchy and its harder for the consumer to determine quality

As someone from the south east, it is no boogeyman. But I do agree that we are much better off than many of the country examples from that article.

In my experience in the SE, most individuals themselves aren't directly racist to any other given individual of color (aside from very specific stereotypes), but they propagate racism through their actions/policies they support/group think with others who feel similarly.

It sounds a lot of what you are complaining about could be solved by "better public transportation", as the OP was commenting about.

That may be the key. Save the hops.

I think he is referring to political will beyond the scope of the US, which collectively, is a much bigger issue.

Probably a similar reason why that carbon tax you mention wasn't passed. (Why do it if others aren't, and lose competitiveness economically?)

I just think the idea of reaching a tipping threshold that we aren't fully aware of the consequences, is the main concern.

Yea, I am sure the area submerged by a dam could equally rebound in its own way 30 years after.

We have an pretty large production app w/ React & Redux.

In some ways it is initially a lot of boilerplate for various state reducers, but after everything is there building really functional features is extremely quick with redux; just from a developer's time point of view.

Yea but... the explanation that it was just a bug makes sense. The idea that there is an organizational conspiracy at Google to make DT not show up in search is much harder to believe. Even if there are SV leaders who don't support him (and I am assuming for good reason), the idea that they A) someone are convincing an entire company to put their credibility on the line and B) actually think that DT not showing up in a "presidential candidate" search is ACTUALLY going to sway some public opinion, are both crazy assumptions to me.

I mean it isn't like people don't know DT is the GOP nominee, why would they see that search in the article and go "Well, shit, guess he dropped out!"

can we just occam's razor this one.

Hey aside from the GDP growth, you should realize that all of these have been going on for the past 40 years at least. Hell, since ww2

There was tons of legislation since the 70s to make roads safer. Seatbelt laws, manufacturer requirements, etc. So yea.. It is pretty consistent with the outcry for more responsible gun control laws. The main problem is no one can communicate about it intelligently and it results in a bunch of chest beating on either side.

You noticed this just on vacation eh?

As a CO resident, maybe you just haven't noticed how shitty our drivers are ;)

They do need to make a higher tax bracket to distinguish the 150-300k a year people from the 500k+ a year households.

I just think when we are talking about two technologies like this, something like "via" or "through" is a bit clearer.

Terrible title. I was wondering in what use case Facebook makes sense as an alternative to Tor

Oligarchy

Its also reasonable to both blame the laws and the insert "greedy" player here. It usually takes two parties to mutually benefit off a partnership
