Would you mind clarifying the remote situation? Post says remote, but actual listing says in-office https://app.dover.com/apply/Neon%20Health/d651be36-95d2-49f6... and the careers page says "Remote work is not for us" https://www.neonhealth.com/careers.

That's totally fair! I just sympathize with gp as the quoted section and the sentence that emphasizes "completion" from the last paragraph are easy to misinterpret as "you should have finished a four-year degree".

e: hopefully clearer, but tired and still commenting on the internet, so who knows. =)

fyi Zoom link requires passcode to join, so you probably won't get too many folks. (e: or I'm failing a reading check ;-))
(not a lawyer) What's gut check on how likely this is to succeed? Is this one of those things like preliminary motions to dismiss that are almost always filed but rarely successful, or has a decent shot?

(not gp, and from memory awhile ago so please forgive lack of exact quotes & page numbers)

Bunch of places where the tone masked or downplayed real issues in ways that made other text suspect. As a concrete example, `head [] -> Exception` with something like "of course it errors if you take the first part of something that's not there" and `take 1 [] -> []` with "obviously taking one thing from an empty list gets you an empty list" -- uh, no. Maybe it's a historical wart, maybe there are good technical reasons, but different behavior in these cases is definitely not obvious!

Congrats on the upcoming little one! As someone who also had first infant late last year, consider dialing back your productivity expectations with a newborn (both because it's a wonderful time and because oh-heaven it's so much work).

> The kernel team is absolutely top tier. The kernel itself is of much higher quality than what you'd find on Linux, or MacOS.

Have recommended sources for this or learning more? My experience with Windows doesn't match this at all, though from my perspective it's hard to tell if it's kernel as opposed to any of the layers above it.

Thanks for the recommendations.

> Tough to go into more detail without a little more information.

Have a ~1800 square foot single family Colonial located in Northeast USA built around 1910. It was partially renovated ~2000 but most of it's still uninsulated (afaict, still very new to this!).

> I've gone through the exercise of retrofitting insulation.

Based on your experiences what do you recommend? (or what sources do you recommend consulting to learn more about retrofitting older buildings?)

Mind providing more references/reliable pointers on this?
