Re:Why Sonos' biggest fans turned against it on Saturday May 18, 2024 @07:12AM (#40398009)
A Sonos Community forum thread where people are voicing their complaints: https://en.community.sonos.com/product%2Dupdates/the%2Dnew%2...

I do find the new app bafflingly lacking in even simple UX things. It's currently not possible to reorganize the play queue, or add songs to it.

On a more funny note, the app complains about lack of bluetooth access every time it starts. The primary case for bluetooth is to add units to the system, so it's not something that should be needed on a day-to-day basis.

FAANG is shorthand for Facebook, Amazon, Apple, Netflix and Google, not a specific tech stack.
Re:He who submits a resume has already lost on Saturday April 01, 2023 @04:43AM (#35398503)
Couldn't it be a simple test of whether the applicant had read the posting thoroughly? It's a quick filter to remove anyone who didn't manage to fulfill this no-effort criteria in their application.

A lot of applicants simply send their resumes to any position that is vaguely relevant, without diving into the details of the role.

A little bit like Van Halen's "Brown M&M clause": https://effectiviology.com/brown-mms/
