I’ve been in the industry for decades, and perform interviews for entry level up to and including principal level. This form of interviewing is absurd, invasive and useless. It will NOT tell you how good someone is… any monkey can write code, the real question I always try and get a handle on is:

Can they solve complex problems? How do they tear the problems apart? How do they apply technologies to do so?

In person (or video) is the ONLY way to tell how good they are.

Take home tests are useless.

Good on you for telling them no in a very professional way.

I hope you are able to find something soon, it’s a really tough market out there!!!

Make the deposits higher, then pool the deposits of those that fail to meet the requirements. Then at the end of the year award the pooled money to the climbers who returned the most trash. As someone else said gamify it…

Is it time to go back to the plugin-hell called Eclipse?

He was indeed… I’ll just leave this here. Mr Rogers

OMG - This game gives me flashbacks to my Netrek days: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netrek

I totally agree with everything you said here. I just cannot imagine wearing ear buds for 15-18 hours straight every day as a solution for my hearing loss. I almost don’t even notice my aids in my ears anymore.

PSA: Take care of your ears everyone, hearing loss sucks big time.

Yes, and I seriously doubt this is for moderate to severe loss. Most aids for that category get custom molds of the ear canal. Very likely this is about getting approval for the hearing test and subsequent audio curves.

As a hearing aid wearer myself, I would question the validity of this as a viable alternative to real hearing aids for moderate to severe loss.

Of course many people with hearing loss will use these instead of getting professionally tested and fitted.

This is what I do… find a comfortable position, then start relaxing all of your muscles.

Start with your toes … given them a wiggle and relax them. Slowly move up your body into your torso… then down your arms, and finally your neck and head.

I’m usually out before I get to my arms.

This is a great movie!

Rumor has it, the monorail will be dismantled in the next couple of years due to not being able to get parts.

Second this

Non-cloud cams with an nvr all the way. I won’t touch the cloud based services. My go to is currently Reolink.

This is neat… I just tried “faceting lemmy” and my community came up on top.

This is me almost every morning around 5am… 😭

Yep, Reolink app pulls from your nvr… I think the only use of the cloud is authentication purposes. So make sure you have a good network connection. 😉

I have my entire house perimeter covered with them. Have I integrated them with HA? No. I don’t feel like I need to. The mobile app and notifications works well for me as does the desktop app.

The only time they acted weird was due to a spider web going across the lens. At night with wind it would trigger random motion alarms. My own damn fault for not cleaning them more often.

Edit: One last point, having the recordings local instead of the cloud is a big plus for me and their NVR works well.

I found it entertaining but a bit shallow in terms of dialog. It felt aimed at the younger crowd. Don’t get me wrong it was most definitely a fun read.

Hahahahaha … I got a few drops… drenches? Not likely. Send us more!!!
