Re:That job you applied for might not exist on Saturday June 29, 2024 @07:32AM (#40829574)
I’m trying to figure out how I feel about this. I guess it depends on how arduous the application process is. If it’s just one click apply on LinkedIn and it gives them an idea of supply in the labour market then I’m not losing sleep over it as an applicant. But if they are expecting cover letters and taking people through rounds of interviews, that’s pretty inconsiderate and speaks to a rotten company culture.

This is short sighted as this will ultimately push more job seekers into going through external recruiters and these companies will be left paying recruitment premiums.

If you found this post interesting, here’s another great post about doing a similar thing with OPA Policies: https://blog.openpolicyagent.org/write-policy-in-opa-enforce...
I’ve been using SourceTrail[0] since they open sourced it to get my head around a large Java project. It doesn’t yet support TypeScript projects so I’m really interested to see how Codemap goes on our React app.

You'll want to use a library that implements Redlock: http://redis.io/topics/distlock
Re:How to get into an admin account on a Windows computer on Monday February 02, 2015 @03:29PM (#8986725)
Also time, our university did something like this on their library computers. It meant waiting 5min after someone logged out for it to do a system restore before the next person could log in. Which seemed like forever when you're rushing to print a paper.
Re:The 2551 iOS apps that Twitter scans for in AppGraph on Thursday November 27, 2014 @06:21PM (#8669094)
Apple should bin [UIApplication canOpenURL:]. Apps can call openURL: and provide a fallback if it fails.
Is it really that far-flung of an idea? A modern tablet will get you 90% of the way there. Google Glass would get you the rest.
Maybe not as a gaming experience. But this could be super cool in the kitchen. Imagine having your recipe or cooking video projected onto the bench or wall and follow you around as you prepare the meal. No more worrying about getting food on your laptop.
Re:Poll: What database does your company/you use? on Sunday May 11, 2014 @04:59PM (#7729977)
I suppose it really depends on the poll. Answering ‘What is your age?’ would be frustrating if all the options were scrambled. But anything subjective like ‘What’s your favourite programming language?’ would certainly benefit from random ordering.
Isn't this just part of assisted GPS? iOS caches the locations of recently seen wireless access points to speed up location services.

Re:Github account compromised on Tuesday November 19, 2013 @09:05PM (#6765907)
Similar to mine. Nothing for years, then three attempts in last couple of days. I wonder if they got my email from the Adobe breach.
Re:A new UI annoyance on Saturday January 12, 2013 @04:28PM (#5048957)
Thanks. I'll have another play around with it and see what I can come up with.
Re:A new UI annoyance on Saturday January 12, 2013 @01:38AM (#5046772)
I do this in my app: http://i.imgur.com/lR9eB.png

I think it's a fairly common UI pattern.

Re:Apple Suspends Over-the-Phone AppleID Password Resets on Tuesday August 07, 2012 @09:23PM (#4353372)
I think having to re-enable remote wipe on each device after a password reset would be a reasonable compromise.
Re:Redesigning the country selector on Thursday November 10, 2011 @02:12PM (#3221358)
I've always wondered why more sites don't do this. Even without the fancy auto-complete, just set the default country using a geo-ip lookup.
Google and Instapaper killed Delicious for me.

I used to bookmark anything interesting. 3 years ago my bookmarks menu wouldn't fit on the screen at once, and that was just the category folders. Later someone showed me Delicious, and I stated migrating my bookmarks there. But search engines have gotten so good, I don't even bookmark pages anymore.

Why bother tagging when searching's faster? I only have to vaguely remember what the page was about and I'm there (or somewhere better).

True. Alternatively, given they know how often a person checks their email, they could show the warning for some multiple of that time (with a lower limit e.g. show for at least 1 week).
I suppose they could limit the warning to once per IP address (or set a cookie) and reset it whenever your forwarding settings change.

I guess if the download is served from a CDN or mirror the checksum would still be helpful.
