Running SST with Pulumi and it's been a great experience. Infrastructure and maintenance has been pleasant and SST's pre-fabs really make things easy to spin up resources.

Wondering why you'd bring up California in a discussion about Texas.

LLMs really make it easy to quickly find documentation for me. Across a huge software project like Mediawiki with so much legacy and caveats, having an LLM parse the docs and give me specific information without me hoping that someone at Stackoverflow did it or if I'm lucky enough to stumble across what I was looking for.

They're not really working in that scenario - they are fund raising for their group which may be considered an exercise in interacting with other people, marketing, selling, and the value of money that helps their organization. This may sound similar to working but one is for fun and the other is more for survival and sustenance.

I believe this is the correct approach and I do a similar thing where I work. A pair programming challenge should be enough to identify a good fit candidate - being able to discuss how they are thinking through a problem, answering questions they have to elaborate on the problem, seeing how they debug, and how they search are very useful!

My years of experience, good work history, and solid interviewing isn't enough! I have to sit down and PROVE I'm worthy to bugfix software by taking my free time and doing homework. But that's not all! If I don't leave and breathe software, why am I even in the field?

I'll resonate your sentiment - software interviewing is such a burden on everyone. Yet I can't think of many other places that do this. Maybe some 'show previous work' which many can do, but what else? Any other careers that require you to do "exercises" and "live exercises" ?

Work better be paying for my personal phone. Really, don't call me out of work hours unless I'm 'on-call' and even then, it better be a 'work phone.;

Bitwarden has a self hosted feature. I've been using that for a while now and I highly recommend it for a paranoid you.

The lack of a physical button to control camera and microphone access is really annoying. At least with a camera, I can cover up with a patch but I can't do anything about my microphone.

Is this hobby worth putting on a resume? I don't put hobby and non-work stuff on my resume but my college experience is there.

Apple TV's touch remote is a travesty. Their UI is equally annoying when you realize they advertise the Apple stuff first, and you have to click Home again to get to your main apps. Compare any of them to Roku, and Roku is a barebones, works as expected, channel choosing device.

> Microsoft Store against their policy to give me a refund because the game was basically unplayable

They went against their refund policy? What was the reason?

As for the game, I'm personally having fun with the main and side quests. Unfortunately, that's really all there is to the game and it feels like an Outerworlds-like game. If the cost of this game was 50% cheaper, I would definitely not be complaining. Still, it's sad to see that vehicles are all the same (except the ones you own yourself) and losing assets when looking away is always immersion breaking.

You will need to clone the object somehow. The simplest solution is to go through each of the object properties and create a new object with those same properties (_.clone). Alternatively, recursively go through each property in the object and then keep going deeper through each property that is an object until you get a copy of everything to assign to a new object (_.deepClone)

Looking at the proposed changes, I believe the user is wrong in their preferences. The state changes he suggests makes the button grayed out/outlined which is the default 'unselected' state for most applications. Tesla has it right. When NOA is activated, leave it blue, indicates that it's active. When it's deactivated, pressing the blue button disables it, showing the outline. I think the call to action should be to disable.
