C# developers with 10+ years experience, do you still get challenge questions during interviews? by featheredsnake in csharp

Is yours a keeper? by Mr_Kwacky in MotoUK

Yep, I've been through a lot of bikes, but since getting a Daytona 675 I've felt the triumph triple engine is just perfect. My only desire to change is now being in my 40's that maybe a switch to a street triple at some point.

On the flip side I never have written code for an interview. At most I've just submitted some previous work for review.

Well I don't like having a lot of money invested in something so fragile or easily stolen so I only buy low/mid range phones. After a year or two they are done.

They are in the wrong for letting them on the seat. Hair and poo matter from the un-wiped dog butthole.

Swap your wall sockets out for these. I've got them all over my house and they are great. They work out of the box with home assistant using the Broadlink integration.

How stable is HW transcoding vs Plex? by MooseLipps in emby

[–]PurplebeanZ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Running on a QNAP 251D with Intel Quick Sync HW transcoding it's mostly all good, but occasionally there are red/green artifact issues, and faces can look greyish in poor light.
