BREAKING: Trump WH drug problems much worse than previously reported. Administration was "awash" in speed, Xanax, and other drugs, pushed by pill-popping quack Ronny Jackson. Melania was pissed when some random staffer couldn't just dash off a scrip for Xanax. https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-features/trump-white-house-drugs-speed-xanax-1234979503/

One of my favorite "de facto standards" is food packaging colors across different brands. Probably most notably in artificial sweetener packets, but you also get this in chips. I think it's fun!

Also, this was a few years ago. Maybe things have changed, I don't know. Pretty sure everyone I knew there is gone now.

I'm fairness: they do pay you for your hours (albeit not great), which is way more than most companies do. They also don't give you a time limit which is both good and bad if you ask me.

The part that really aggravated me was I was three rounds deep and nobody would help me at all. It was tech I didn't know and everybody shrugged and just said "figure it out."

It felt very much like they'd removed the traditional gatekeeping in the interview process only to double down on it in other ways.

My worst interview ever, by far, was with Automattic. While everyone I interacted with was incredibly nice, it was a miserable experience. (It was a series of take-home code exams, escalating in difficulty until you were eventually tossed into an overwhelmingly complex repo with no help, and told to go figure it out. "It might take months," they said, as though it was helpful.)

Then, I was confused by this. But the more I learn about who Matt Mullenweg actually is, the less surprised I am.

I vividly remember four years ago, when the tech company I worked at had its entire CI/CD pipeline break for like a whole day, until someone finally realized one of the tests hadn't accounted for leap years, and expected a year to be exactly 365 days.

A star will be born in the coming months! Not quite, but a star in the T Coronae Borealis binary system (T CrB) will explode as a nova between Feb and Sept and become visible to the naked eye.

How do astronomers know? It is because this is a “recurrent nova”, one that grows and erupts every ~80 years. It is known to have erupted in 1217, 1787, 1866 and 1946.

After explosion, it will be visible to the unaided eye for several days and about a week with binoculars.
