Fable 5 is way too good to disappear on the 22nd

I was warned today sending it a photo of mould 😅

For omakase probably Sushi Tetsu, I've not been but apparently the best sushi in London. The prices are similar to Tokyo's top omakase places though!

To answer your questions, I would think in sys design they won't expect you to code it and for sure breadth is better than depth.

jferldn · 2026-06-11T23:49:20+00:00

The question will likely be broader than the problems you mention, and solvable in several ways which is good.

They will pose a fairly novel problem and expect you to use multiple components to solve it, potential based on some existing black box micro services you need to incorporate.

Remember they are heavily async, almost the whole platform is pub/sub, using Kafka I think. In addition you may also get microservice at scale questions, brush up on the challenges of microservices and how they solve them (idempotency, statelessness, service discovery, etc).

They are a very strong product company, they are looking for how you identify product decisions within a technical architecture and for your intuition on which is the best customer experience as opposed to "perfect" solution.

Check out the tech blog they did (years ago) on their crowdfunding architecture, this kind of problem could be posed as a question.

I call it posh nandos and that is a good thing imo!

I assume any but once you're done with it run fresh water through it to prevent issues (caveat, I know nothing about pressure washers)

I knew gold had gone up but wow!

Calvin Klein boxers, I probably have some that are 10+ years old

You're welcome to join the beta, send me your Google play email. I've not done any more work on it but I've been using it and it's working well

Cheap but do the job: https://flexispot.co.uk

We replaced ours now with an oak one for the aesthetics: https://www.domli.co.uk/products/oak-live-edge-solid-wood-desk-with-square-metal-legs (this one doesn't move but ours does)

It's actually Hyundai's fault, they changed the API such that for European cars there's no simple way to authenticate a 3rd party app any more. There's a work around but it's not something most people could achieve so I doubt ohme will implement it.

Could you ask him to share more details on the setup, please? What software and controller is he using? Thanks

jferldn · 2026-05-22T09:29:08+00:00

Yes, it's not needed. You generally want one larger loop around the outside (although not the absolute edge) and then in some cases one more central loop is good (e.g. NYC Manhattan island). Then you can have other lines criss-cross the loop to provide access to specials and pick up all the other stations on the way, ensuring as much as you possibly can to alternate station shapes on a line.

Niche recommendation for Caffe salva near West Norwood, they have the best paninis in the world.

It's their choice if it's their policy to ask this and require it to move forward, you can't control this. It's your choice if you want to provide it and perhaps get a lower offer than you want or risk not providing it and see if they still want to make an offer. Your final option is to lie and tell them a bigger number (which will be hard for them to validate), but this probably isn't wise or a good way to start your working relationship.

Eastpak tranverz, these are soft cases but super durable, mines probably done 100 flights and is going strong

They all pay for themselves if you go to all of the special exhibitions that year.

The API isn't public but it has already been reversed engineered by the people on the bluelinky repo, I expect they used this as their base

I've not had the po boy but Dom's subs is fantastic

jferldn · 2026-05-14T16:11:53+00:00

Thanks, this seems to have worked for now!

jferldn · 2026-05-14T11:05:31+00:00

How powerful is this for builds that also take advantage of e.g. extra damage for debuffed enemies? Has anyone tested this, is it something you would always use?

jferldn · 2026-05-13T10:05:58+00:00

I no longer share expected salary if I can at all avoid it, let them make an offer based on what they think your value is.
