was it ever? I participate in interview rounds at my company (several tech screens a month) and I must say a candidate's email was not something that drew attention

you're able to unsubscribe from all those protomtions . . . that is in settings. Personally, a once-a-month newsletter of everything that is new is helpful bc I don't need to put in the effort tlinto keeping up

For backup and sync I use Syncthing. I can specify which folder on which devices I want to sync to which folder on the server.

I use a folder based gallery on my phone so when I move stuff around on my phone (or on my server) it gets replicated on all my devices.

I also have a policy to sync specified folders (and subfolder) with my family's devices. No more " hey can you send me all the pics from the XYZ trip"

We take a trip. Make a subolder for that trip in a shared folder dump all our pictures there, get home and open the folder on the computer and prune together.

hey, that's what the internet is for; information sharing :)

for the dummies (like me) that can't read the room, especially online, a sarcasm tag /s goes a long way 🙃

I think it's important to check for competencies that are valuable to the employer during the interview process. However many, but admittingly not all, employers will use time constrained college level puzzels that a candidate can usually only solve if they have seen it before.

I've been on both sides of the interview process. In my day to day I use a debugger to verify and step through code all the time. Hacker rank, the leading platform to test candidates and generate a metric report, doesn't even have a debugger. Off-by-one index mistakes are sooo common to see from a candidate who is under time pressure. A few iterations with a debugger and problem solved. I advocate for candidates to develop on their on env and share their screen or bring it with them. But anyway, I'm ranting.

I agree with most comments arguing against a standardization and pointing to the weakness. I didn't say it works great, I just wish it was like some other professionals have. See my comment about other engineering disciplines that have a successful licensure process.

using the settings you described ( minus the VPN ) I was not able to cloak myself over the past several days

Gotcha, thanks. Well, I'll look into it some more. I appreciate you supporting Rebble!

that is on-par with my experience.

If on android, you can visit a google app store mirror (like aurora) which has all apps not locked to a region. Meaning, you can get that transit app.

On iOS, there is no side loading to get around that at the moment.

no problem! that's what the internet and forums are for :D

to my shame, this is the first time I heard of the Solid project. I've glanced at the page and plan on researching more, but in your opinion what is its practical goal and current impact?
