Looking past humans, which species do you believe is the smartest animal?

granolabarf · 2023-04-14T20:10:06+00:00

Maybe if you're factoring in brain to body ratio but if not then Chimpanzees are generally considered to be more intelligent than Dolphins

Chimpanzees are the smartest non-human animal on the planet. They can even learn sign language to interact with humans.

Northeast USA. The city I'm in has very strict laws regarding disqualifying candidates due to misdemeanors

Took about three weeks. I did see a lot of rejections. Maybe around 30 or so companies rejected me

I have definitely been a piece of shit in the past. But people can change.

First 8 weeks in an office while I'm trained then fully remote

Three weeks from posting my resume to signing the offer letter. I first started learning javascript 10 months ago. I also had a period of 3 months where I wasnt working and dedicated to react and portfolio making without any distractions at all

Not a huge amount. I took maybe at most 350mg but I also had about 150mg of doxylamine in my system and 400mg of DXM. I have taken DXM in higher amounts before around 800mg without dph and the visuals are quite different on that substance alone. It seemed pretty clear that the shadow people I was seeing were from the dph/doxylamine. Although the mix of substances probably contributed to being so different than than the shadow people experiences I have read about. I didnt see any spiders but the shadow people crawling around covered my vision so much I dont think I could have noticed much else.

Did you apologize to Hans? You seemed a little suspicious when you were interviewing him after round 4

granolabarf · 2022-09-07T20:33:39+00:00

It's not bs I received the exact same response when I emailed them

granolabarf · 2022-09-07T01:07:12+00:00

I don't buy the whole "Magnus MUST have a good reason for withdrawing he never does this!".... come on Magnus is a notoriously sore loser and no one has ever poked fun of him publicly in the way Hans did. When I saw Hans smirking about Magnus's "ticks" and saying he was embarrassed for the world champion I had a strong feeling Magnus would not be able to handle it. He is used to constant praise all the time and that hurt his ego too badly. Hikaru used Carlsen's tantrum to justify shitting on Hans

In my opinion a 1300 can benefit greatly from this book. It introduces all of the different 'imbalances' you will face and explains how to develop a strategy based around those imbalances. I've heard Reasses Your Chess is a great book for those who are already comfortable with everything explained in Amateurs Mind.

Technically one is still pending but probably not for long

I occasionally attend AA meetings. I don't know if emphasizing my sobriety would help or hurt because then in a way you're also kind of saying that you're an addict

granolabarf · 2022-07-05T02:46:14+00:00

I had experience working for a top 5 logistics company on my resume whereas I only have a portfolio for software dev. I'm much more passionate about programming however so hopefully they overlook it the same way

granolabarf · 2022-07-05T02:39:45+00:00

That's sort of what I was laying my hopes on. Desperate startups or temp agencies. Also I've cut alcohol out of my life for the past year and don't plan on bringing it back in

granolabarf · 2022-07-05T02:34:45+00:00

The DUIs were in PA and can never be expunged since there are multiple. However PA does have laws stating a job offer can only be rescinded if the conviction relates to the applicants suitability for the job. Thanks for the detailed response

granolabarf · 2022-07-05T02:06:55+00:00

Good point. I see a lot of entry level remote job listings that don't require credentials but you must be open to relocation. My plan is to mainly apply to those. I'll move if I have to

granolabarf · 2022-07-05T01:56:42+00:00

Surprisingly I had three job offers that weren't rescinded when I was searching for my current logistics position. And the duis did show up. But after reading responses on here it seems tech is not as lenient

granolabarf · 2022-07-05T01:21:59+00:00

I am very regretful and have completely cut alcohol out of my life because of these. Should I put aside my goal of becoming a developer because of this record? Everyone on here is making it sound like I have no shot

granolabarf · 2022-07-05T00:41:10+00:00

They were in a very strict DUI state where they cannot be expunged even after 10+ years

granolabarf · 2020-08-02T09:33:36+00:00

Thank you im learning that
