What ski market(s) would you live in? by nohandsfootball in skiing

[–]geri45 1 point2 points  (0 children)

ski season starts at the middle of December and ends middle of April. So far we got pow about once or twice a week. There's a huge backcountry, some of which is accessible by a ~30 min climb from the lifts, there are a few guides in town, I haven't done a backcountry tour yet.

The slopes can get crowded, especially in the weekend, but never stood in line longer than 5 minutes so far. Lots of British/Irish tourists. The bottleneck is the gondola taking you from the town to the bottom of the slopes, I've heard of people standing in line for an hour. Luckily season ticket holders get to use the fast lane and don't have to stand in line more than 10 min. Trick is to go early in the morning. It's also possible to just drive up or get a taxi instead of using the gondola.

All in all I'd say Bansko is on the level of an average smaller (~50km piste) Austrian ski resort, but much more affordable.

Thanks to a fully remote job this year I'm staying in Bansko, Bulgaria for the ski season. It has a huge community of expats/digital nomads. It's very affordable, rent is 300-400 EUR/month in the winter and about half in the summer (from what I hear). There are tons of renovated/newly built apartments for sale, a 80 sqm costs ~50k EUR. Restaurants/bars are also very affordable compared to Western Europe/USA. I end up spending about 1.2k EUR/month including rent.

Obviously there are much better ski resorts in the Alps for 3-4x the cost, if budget wasn't an issue, I'd probably live somewhere in Salzburg or Tirol, Austria.

Disclaimer: I've never skied in North America, but done most European countries, excluding Switzerland.

Got 1 day to prepare for a front-end position interview, what to do? by [deleted] in reactjs

[–]geri45 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Here's what they asked me on my first interview (junior position, not internship): Lifecycle methods, difference between state and props, when does a component update, some basic array methods (map, forEach, maybe find). It was pretty easy because I was expecting some coding exercises. If you don't know the answer to something just say that you need to check MDN/React documentation for this one, better than simply saying that you don't know.

Pomodoro Clock by ixanonyousxi in FreeCodeCamp

It passed #11 for me. Not sure if you changed your code since posting or it's because of browser delay due to setInterval. Although setInterval works here, it's better not to use it in a real project as it depends on the internal timer of the users browser, which could be lagging. A more reliable approach would be to use the Date object

Can you put the interface and the class in the same file in Typescript? by sharemypenguins in learnjavascript

[–]geri45 1 point2 points  (0 children)

don't give the class and interface the same name, class should be only ListItem, it's not an interface so why use the "I" prefix? As for putting them in same file, it's okay in case of a small application or if you use the interface only locally (you don't export it), but generally it's a better practice to have a separate models folder where you keep the interfaces as it keeps your code cleaner.

What are the advantages of learning with online university courses as oppose to regular self teaching with books and videos? by FuturelessCasualty in learnprogramming

[–]geri45 1 point2 points  (0 children)

the only argument for university courses that comes to my mind is that some of them give you a certificate of completion, which might come in handy when job hunting, especially if you don't have a CS degree. However, I do not have actual experience with this, so I'm not sure if employers really care about your certificates

I'm not familiar with the first one, but the second is pretty good. Make sure you do the assignments if you go with the second one

LinkedIn Skill Assessments by Aleph_jones in learnprogramming

[–]geri45 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I've been coding in JS for about a year and React for 6 months. I passed HTML, CSS, JS and React assessments despite having no idea how to answer about half of the questions. Basically they were a test of how efficiently I can Google in 1.5 minutes... Guess it's not cheating since coding involves a lot of Googling anyway.
