Taking the job has opportunity costs, you should definitely care if you were first choice or 475th choice. If you have the flexibility to keep looking, why take a job that was lukewarm in their response? I mean, I guess the opportunity cost is low if you plan on job hopping frequently.

Or, they're still interviewing candidates and should tell you as much. I have no problem with a company telling me they have X more candidates to interview over Y weeks. If we liked you, you'll hear back from us shortly after that. Telling you that "you're in the running" with someone else...

Sorry to be pessimistic, but I'd read that as "We gave the other guy until 3 days from now to accept our offer". I've never been in this situation, this type of disclosure is rare. I'd be tempted to tell them I have other offers and need to hear back sooner.

I believe he is referring to their repeated (failed)obfuscation of their inability to rampup manufacturing.

The cinder blocks are below grade, that's where extra costs come in. The real fix would involve digging up a lot of earth, putting in some french drains, and replacing the cinder blocks and porch since they're from the 70s and starting to show their age.

I agree, fixing the source of water would be much more preferable. Unfortunately, that's probably a couple orders of magnitude of cost higher. I know where water is coming in, it's through cinder blocks under my front porch. I have it well contained after it passes through the cinder blocks...

Check that the ethernet cable is Cat5e(or above) and you likely won't have any problems with 100mbit+. Technically, cat5 can handle 100mbit tops, but you really shouldn't use cat5 anymore. Especially if you're getting a NAS like you posted in the other thread. The other two things you posted...

You'd be eliminating a lot of companies if that was your criteria. I'm not saying you're wrong to want companies to move faster when hiring, or have the damn positions budgeted, but this is quite standard. It should be something considered when deciding to take the offer, but perhaps not a...

Yeah, I've read that bleach is not best after using it. But, the spot I used it on didn't grow, so I'm thinking they were dead already anyway.

Is there such a product for killing mold and mildew that you're not sure where it's coming from? I know it's there, I can smell it, I just can't pinpoint where. There's lots of false positives, this room has moisture problems so there are stains from previous growths that I have sprayed with...

Any recommendations for keyboards? My current one is so old that it's still PS/2. I've read up on the mechanical keyboards and I'm not sure I want to go that route. I'm picky, it's part of the reason I've never upgraded. I guess I'm actually asking for a site with good comprehensive reviews.

CoE is dynamic, never snapshots. Which makes it a great ring if you have the ability to spread your damage across 2+ elements. But then you have to watch the buff phases instead the game itself, so fuck that ring.

This type of freedom, definitely. The internet has given too many dullards the freedom to vomit their semi-homemade replicas with no fear of deserved criticism. I hate how many recipes my wife tries from pinterest. She's a good cook, a damn good one, when she cooks from inspiration instead of...

Next stop: machine code.

Oh, ok, if that's not enough: Cooking a meatball so that the huge wad of cheese melts might overcook the meat. Or maybe not, I don't know what temperature mozzarella melts. I really don't see the point. I'll take the mozzarella, put it on top, then proceed to melt AND brown it. Also, I'll...

find | grep is a useful tool outside of searching for function definitions, so it's not a totally lost opportunity. Some build systems will absolutely not allow intelligent completing because the functions or libraries or modules or whatever simply don't exist until you compile it. I like some...

No browning of the meat? Jarred sauce? Pass.

Smoke them and pack them in adobo sauce. Or pickle them, pretty good by themselves.

What were your goals otherwise?

I really like the season journey. Sure, it's arbitrary, but it helped put an endpoint to a game that kinda flounders at the end. Yes, I could have self-imposed these before, but idk, just feels different this time. Now, I pick a class I haven't played in a while, do the season journey, and...

Acid doesn't do anything to the meat fibers. The only thing in a marinade that will do so is papain.

DVT? I have not idea really, I just like the word "thrombosis".

Does anyone prefer a payout option for vacation? Not saying I don't want vacation or I don't have use for my free time(not nearly enough, hi2u home ownership and infant son). But after getting yearly family visits and such out of the way, I still have ~5 days of vacation left. Compared to...

That's the culture I was referring to a few days ago. Is it really that hard to fire someone for performance? I thought "at will employment" meant for whatever reason you want(as long as it's not discriminatory).

Just curious, what's the secret sauce to hacking it as a developer? And why shouldn't that be required of your testers?

Sure, why not? Even if I don't go that route, other people might be interested. 2TB drives for $50 seems nonexistent these days.

Need? Kinda. I would like some backup redundancy and I don't see how a HDD plugged into a router can provide that. a_skeleton_03, are you worried about the the torrent client wearing out the WD Reds prematurely? Suave, what disks did you use? That alone would seem to eat most of...

How is this an accident?

Sure. But I would have doubts of its scalability as you add more simultaneous users. Also, no RAID 1. I would never buy anything Seagate. I don't know how they're still in business. Barebones mini computer is an option, are there any handy guides for such?

Part of me thinks we have a thread for NAS but I couldn't find one. Please delete/merge if we do. My storage HDD on my desktop died last week, so it got me considering buying a NAS. Nothing that important was lost, but it got me thinking that if the external HDD I use for backup ever...

Is it only embarrassing if the person you're embarrassing knows you're doing it?

It's more likely that capturing light well requires a certain amount of physical space that prevents the yty improvement that the rest of the phone might get. See batteries as another example of this. What was a stellar camera 3 years ago does not necessarily mean it becomes the average cost...

In what sense? The only person who's power changes, without reason, is Quick Ben. And it's revealed he knows Mother Dark on some personal level, so maybe he's just been that reserved the whole time.

There's just a weird culture against testing in programming, maybe the idea of testing itself. It rarely ever pays direct dividends, so a lot of people doesn't see it as worth the investment. Whether that be from a hiring standpoint or career development standpoint. And this is coming from...

I don't disagree with you, but that doesn't seem practical from a supply & demand standpoint. It is extremely rare to find someone who genuinely wants to work in test. Even rarer is to find a company who will treat(as in, training and pay) test engineers that way.

Cutting against the grain(for flank or other similar cuts) will have a far greater effect than a couple surface scores.

What was unimpressive about the Pure compared to what you like about the Nexus P? Or did the delay on the ordering process sour you to the whole thing?

The only thing I'd want is the fingerprint scanner. I would really like that to become standard soon.

I thought Ponies was a bit boring. I like Condemn. Neither have persisted but they're noteworthy because they were powerful at the time and fit into the Crusader class design: short, situational cooldowns. I hate cooldown mashing the last two Crusader sets have promoted, simply awful to play...

I think they're doing a great job iterating on the base design, but a class full of new concepts and gameplay, I'm not so sure. That the last two crusader sets had to actively undo the class's base concept(short cooldowns) does not bode well. Crusaders have kinda limped along as zDPS support...
