My grandfather passed away a few years ago. Google caught him raking leaves in the front yard a year prior. It’s nice to visit him once in a while.

I have ‘22 Lightning and it’s the best vehicle I have ever driven. The 50/50 weight distribution from the batteries makes it perform amazing in the snow. No need for sand bags in the winter. The linear acceleration curve with instant torque lets you merge like a car. The creature comforts are amazing. When I get into any gas vehicle now, even with good HP, it just doesn’t compare because of gear shifts and torque ramp up. I charge it at home overnight and it lasts 2 weeks just bumming around town before i have to charge again. In almost every category, it is better than my v8 f-150. Sure, if you tow a lot or drive long distances everyday, it can be annoying trying to find a level 3 charger along the way but if you’re driving less than 150 miles a day, you never need to stop, even when it’s cold.

I’m not sure this is true. The EC2 web console terminal drops me right into root on any of my instances.

1000% agree. Javascript is weak in this regard if you compare it to major programming languages. It just adds unnecessary security risks not having a language with built in imports for common things like making API calls out or parsing JSON, for example.

How do you store negative numbers?

This is what I do. I don’t see the problem here. I don’t see the need to adopt additional characters.

I interviewed for FB once and I don’t believe this is the case there. I was told the comp levels ran parallel for ICs and Managers. They do value their ICs it seems. This was one of the main reasons I was interested in working for them. You can see it on levels.fyi

250k is a good pay in America but you won’t be retiring after five years. Income tax usually takes 25-35% off so your take home is 162k-187k. It’s easy to spend 10-15k/mo on expenses (mortgage, cars, gas, utilities, child care, food, clothes, medical, paying off student loans, retirement, savings, etc.). Then you’ll want to do things like take vacations. It gets eaten up pretty quick here.
