The lack of sleep on almost everything is horrifying. I recommend that book to everyone whenever the topic is discussed.
Re:First person receives Pfizer Covid-19 vaccine in UK

Could someone please explain how this can be the case? I understand the vaccine works by stimulating antibody production, which prevent you from becoming ill by binding to the virus and disabling it should it enter your system. How then could the virus be spread further if it's already been disabled?

DMA Design (which later became Rockstar North, developers of Grand Theft Auto) were formed in Dundee. Not exactly the middle of nowhere, but probably not where you'd expect to find one of the world's most popular video game franchises.

I wonder whether this is just write-only, or if they've been able to read private data (like DMs) too.

In an attempt to mitigate the damage, Twitter appears to have blocked verified accounts from sending tweets.
Re:Tech sector job interviews assess anxiety, not software skills: study
on Wednesday July 15, 2020 @02:08PM (#23849199)
I'm in a similar position - a tech lead role at a Big N - and have recently been doing some interviews for senior roles at FAANG. The most frustrating thing is knowing I can't really leverage anything I've learned over the past 7 years of my career in the interview, at least at the early stages. I've been "studying" Leetcode after work for a month or so but always seem to make stupid mistakes under the time pressure of the interview. I don't want to spend my entire career at one company, but it's clear I'll need to be very lucky and/or practice much harder on my own time if I want anything like a similar position/salary elsewhere.
