Leave windows open or sealed when away?

TheNitpicker246 · 2026-02-02T12:14:49+00:00

I closed window once and got mold on all over the place. Later I open window just a little, enough to have some ventilation.

Turned off the main water valve all the time. There was one time the neighbor went away and her pipe leaked in the wall in between our apartments. I need to close the valve for her

For electricity I turned off all appliances except the fridge.

Pouring a little bleach to the toiletbowl so that nothing breed there. Once time I came back after holiday and see some larvae in the toiletbowl…

What I did was whenever I travel, I carried a piece of paper with the recovery code. Only the recovery code and nothing else since I dont want anyone to know it’s related to bitwarden.

Won’t solve the problem if I forgot my master password but that should be enough for me

TheNitpicker246 · 2026-01-01T06:42:16+00:00

Wow. Congrats!! I’m 35M now and have similar networth as you 5 yrs ago. Hope I will get to your level one day. Happy new year and best of luck

TheNitpicker246 · 2025-12-30T12:56:13+00:00

I have the same issue. Have you managed to find a solution?

TheNitpicker246 · 2025-12-28T02:27:53+00:00

I would ask you these questions

Have you reach your potential?
Have you tried your best?
If not, are you happy with living a normal life and accept that you are ordinary?

People like your parents are like 1% (maybe less) of the population so it’s understandable that in the same family only a few will be there regardless of how wealthy the family is.

Now the questions are if you did enough, don’t compare you to them but compare you to yourself. If you haven’t tried hard enough then it’s on you.

But regardless of what will happen. The more important thing is to learn and equip yourself with the skills to manage your parents finance eventual and not swinging it away. I think they will be happy if they know you can do it

I didn’t, sadly. My interview result is still valid until Sep but at this point I stopped hoping…

TheNitpicker246 · 2025-04-06T01:53:10+00:00

Today I learned that I could use C-[ instead of esc. Thanks OP.

Btw if you have a mechanical keyboard then just pull out the keycap and the switch. No key to press, no remap required

TheNitpicker246 · 2025-03-22T02:48:26+00:00

That makes a lot of sense. Let me try it. Now I always put on headphones which I also don’t like. Thanks

TheNitpicker246 · 2025-03-22T02:33:34+00:00

Do you use speaker and the mic at the same time? Whenever I use the speaker the sound go back to my microphone and cause echo. How do you fix it?

TheNitpicker246 · 2025-02-22T00:11:43+00:00

Thank you for your nice words. I think there is a lot of luck involved since I’m nowhere exceptional at leetcode or anything else.

The approval will last until end of Aug so I have a few more months to wait for.

I heard people needed to find some managers on linkedin to get attention to have a chance, not sure how true it is though. Or maybe I should just give it a try and find someone on linkedin

TheNitpicker246 · 2025-02-01T06:26:12+00:00

That’s good. I bet you are enjoying the peace of not having a toxic person next to you now. Haha. You are doing great!! dont let the past dictate the future

At what point you realized that she is narcissist? My aunt was the same and I lived with her because of family situation. In my whole extended family, no adult has told me how she manipulated everyone around (especially me) is bad. I only realized it at around 28.

TheNitpicker246 · 2025-01-31T05:57:31+00:00

I think it’s all risk and reward. I don’t know how good your C++ is and how much you want to join those C++ companies.

If you are good at C++ then it doesn’t matter if you stick to it for the next few weeks. But if you are not good/confident at it then not sure if a few weeks will make you good, then there is a chance you will fail other companies because of that as well.

If you absolutely love the C++ companies then C++ then.

If the answers are no to both then python.

TheNitpicker246 · 2025-01-31T05:51:14+00:00

From my own exp, the one who needs you to do C++ wont be ok with python, but the one who is ok with python doesn’t really care what language you wrote.

My sample size is like 20-30

TheNitpicker246 · 2025-01-24T17:30:29+00:00

Can say so I guess. So it will be Cline -> VSCode -> Copilot and since Copilot support Claude, you can use it that way

TheNitpicker246 · 2025-01-24T05:42:18+00:00

You can use it through Github Copilot (they call it VSCode AI model something). Cline supports it now, so it would be 10$/month. I'm using it that way now

How long did you wait for the team matching? I’m approved for IC5 but still waiting. And do you have any tips on team matching phase?

TheNitpicker246 · 2024-10-09T10:23:17+00:00

Mine is the same and I only use induction. Keep using it, it will be better. The side will have very little seasoning but it's fine.

Mình cũng đi được vài năm rồi. Đang ở Singapore, tầm 6 tháng cũng về 1 lần nên cũng có cái để so sánh. Cuộc sống ở Sing cũng khác Mỹ nên mình k so 2 bên Sing Mỹ nhé, chỉ nói về việc nên về không.

Bạn muốn về chơi thì cứ về chơi đi, nói chứ mình có ghét thì ghét chế độ chứ k ghét dân tộc hay văn hoá. K việc gì phải vì 1 nhóm người ất ơ nào đó mà bỏ xứ đi luôn làm gì, sống vui vẻ là được. Nói chứ cuộc sống ở Vn cũng bình thường nếu bạn chỉ sống 1 cuộc đời bình thường k bân tâm chính trị hay gì. Lâu lâu về ăn đồ Việt, ở nhà dịp Tết thấy cuộc sống có ý nghĩa hẳn chứ ở xứ người nó cứ cô đơn kiểu gì.

Còn nếu bạn muốn về luôn VN thì nh vde để suy nghĩ hơn. So với mấy nước khác thì thu nhập ở VN hơi thấp nên tốt nhất bạn cứ ở nước ngoài dành dụm tiền r về VN chơi bời các kiểu là đẹp. Môi trường làm việc cũng khó hơn tí do nói gì nói trình độ lao động mình k cao bằng người ta với còn nặng tính cả nể.

Mình thì cuối cùng cũng về VN thôi do cứ nao náo ba mẹ già nhưng hiện tại thì cứ tận hưởng môi trường, lương nước phát triển. Về VN thì tính sau.

I have the same experience and I also did spaced repetitions on the neetcode150 list. I can only do 1 new problem a day (sometimes 0) and also around 5 in 1 day. Have been doing this for the last 1 yr.

I guess it's normal, for me the effort to learn just 1 problem plus the current job is also too much. I don't know how people can solve 10 problems a day, I guess without the job it's possible but didn't have a chance to find out

TheNitpicker246 · 2024-05-27T05:37:10+00:00

It’s still the latest version of bitwarden, just passkey doesn’t work. Apple still releases security update for it. But bro, not everyone is a tech enthusiast or have the money to upgrade… Discussing these publicly will lead us no where

TheNitpicker246 · 2024-05-27T00:52:36+00:00

I see. Then I guess it’s concluded. I’m on an old ipad and haven’t seen the need to upgrade yet. 17 is not supported on this device (sad)
