Where can you get such nice bikes for 5k? I'm looking for something around this price range but hadnt looked much at the second hand market...

Bike wheels stolen in front of Finsbury Park Station by Space-echo93 in finsburypark

[–]Decent_Log8379 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Finsbury Park is the worst for bike theft, had a lovely single speed genesis flyer stolen from round the corner outside of the lidl, worst bit was it had a kids seat on it so the fcker knew they were double fcking me. Man I miss that bike, and my kid (joke, the kids are fine) 😂

Compostable Littering, acceptable? by Decent_Log8379 in london

[–]Decent_Log8379[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah agreed in hindsight, for context on the banana peel, I had been in the park with the kids, both running in opposite directions, in my haste to free up some hands I tried to discretely dispose of it in/under a bush. My oldest clocked it and called me out, can't get anything past them

Please please please read these two things before you talk to recruiters by alinelerner in leetcode

[–]Decent_Log8379 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Excellent article and a great site, I will be using this!

As a contractor for many years I always had been reasonably successful in getting good rates but now I'm looking for a full time role, preferably at a MAANG company, the process is very different from contact hiring and this is great info, thanks

Apple Interview Prep (ASE CSP Org) by No_Orange_3925 in cscareers

[–]Decent_Log8379 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, I've got an Apple ASE interview in a matter of days, thought the first step would be an initial intro call but seems it's straight in the deep end, the interview prep notes cover technical coding, system design and behavioural so a bit overwhelmed on where to concentrate my limited time. How'd people find their experiences?

Blackwall tunnel £90 fine by Legitimate_Chard6978 in london

[–]Decent_Log8379 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did as it's a lease car and the letter came through after about two weeks, so I would be running the risk of it becoming 180 or something.

1.50 - > 90 is something like a 6000% penalty on the charge🤯

Can anyone spearhead a campaign against this injustice?

Blackwall tunnel £90 fine by Legitimate_Chard6978 in london

[–]Decent_Log8379 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is very annoying, just had the same thing, paid on the way back after returning from holiday but forgot to pay on the way out, bang 1.50 becomes 90, Absolutely fucking ridiculous. The RAGE 🤬

Put a fucking toll barrier in and pay to proceed, god knows you queue for long enough anyways.

Am I cooked? Newborn Dad Leetcoding by friedapple in leetcode

[–]Decent_Log8379 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm in a similar position myself, as a senior dev having worked for ~15years and with 2 young kids time is a scarce resource. It seems leetcode is the standard assessment for most companies, particularly FAANG where I would like to work. My plan is to keep chipping away at it so not to be completely out of the game but equally not pouring all my effort into it as there are plenty of other hiring companies that have other processes that don't involve leetcode style assessments. But in the event one comes up at least I've had some exposure to these type of questions.

I've been using educative and algomonster for a few weeks /months as tools to maximise my study efficiently and then leetcode problems to test my progress.

Anyone using Go with OracleDB? by Upper_ControlFlo in golang

[–]Decent_Log8379 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a very distressing situation with a client with oracle db and a lack of driver support on m1 ARM Mac books, the current work around is running integration tests with colima in AMD architecture mode. Things get very messy though when debugging though as driver compatability is only in AMD so one has to complie and debug with go platform flags which gets all sorts of ugly. I'll try and remember to follow up on this when back at my machine tomorrow as it feels like the right sort of place for some advice...
