evanslify | 6 years ago | on: GitLab – A $1B business where all employees work remotely
I've interviewed with GitLab when I first changed my career into software engineering, a few years ago. It was a bad call in my opinion since I'm not as good as I thought back then.
However, is it a good idea to apply again since that was a long while ago and I've accumulated a considerable amount of experience compared to what I was?
And can you do your own independent security research when you're working for GitLab? What's GitLab's stance of this situation?
It'll be nice if you can post your/a recruiter's email ID here - I'd like to send over a couple more questions.

Does hwupd work with Thinkpads?

I had an mid-2015 which battery did swollen after 8 months of usage. It bulged the trackpad towards the screen and making a dent. Apple does count that as part of in-warranty repair though.
A very expansive battery repair for Apple.
By the way, their repair would take longer than an entire week, which is worse than most laptops vendors.

Can you elaborate more?

That’s what we need, plus lots of incoming webhooks and bot interface. We don’t even use Slack’s video/voice call — It simply doesn’t work very well.

How did you migrate then? Do you have years of chat history before?
Also, can you compare about efficiency of communication in both?

I’ve been told otherwise; Is this full repair policy a “by-country” thinng?

Beside some softwares only exists on macOS, Dell and Lenovo (if not concerned about its Chinese background) makes good ultrabooks which is on-par with Macbook Pro these days.
Plus, repairability & without keyboard which would break on particle ingress.

Handy. Also, can it fight 10? :)

All links in "Current Hiring" is broken, although link contains some part of the url you intended. Also, if you're hiring for US citizens only, maybe it would be a good idea to mention that in your post?

I didn't see any positions listed as remote?

I did post my findings on the GitHub issue :-)
evanslify | 8 years ago | on: Leaving htop running freezes macOS High Sierra
Author of comment here: Doing this alone doesn’t do any harm unless running htop in background, also this only makes the bug happen more quickly. If one has Activity Monitor running prior to crash, it’s still possible to kill htop with it and would make OS useable again.

I’ve been finding the root cause of this a month ago, but don’t know where to look due to lacking of experience in kernel debugging. If anyone here could lend me a hand, please send me an email at (es at evsfy dot com)
evanslify | 8 years ago | on: How Taiwan transformed its health care system
This exists, but not much. As a matter of fact, many healthcare workers (especially registered nurses) work very, very long hours and get way less paid than they do in other countries. Also I would expect quality of surgeries would drop in future years due to lawsuit or lack of trust between doctor/nurse-families of patient causing doctors/nurses quitting.

Maybe the car owner has some sort of parking sensor, uses radio and thus interferes with neighbor’s house alarm system?

Why the author doesn't call out widely for assistance even if physically threatened/assaulted, but choosing to avoid all confrontations instead?
