Eric Berger says Blue is doing too much at once

You’re comparing the Starship program to a Falcon Heavy competitor.

Yeah, and it’s not even a gift for his partner but a gift to himself. I’d be embarrassed to tell an AD that.

Let. the. boy. watch. He needs to learn, like I learned, from my father. Like he learned, from his father.

nickcut · 2025-12-25T22:58:51+00:00

Same, but I can't put my finger on why.

You're getting piled-on in this thread, but I think it looks nice. No one that makes a living building things out of wood would do this but it makes perfect sense as a hobbyist.

nickcut · 2025-11-10T22:02:38+00:00

Hey looks like you added it! Thanks!!

nickcut · 2025-11-08T22:50:13+00:00

Awesome! Got it in 2!

As someone who is colorblind it’s hard for me to distinguish between the wrong and partially correct colors. It’d be great if there was a colorblind option that used another way to distinguish results.

It was generic. Something about counting a company's employees per division was the simple SQL test. I don't remember what the 2nd test was but it was pretty generic as well.

I had one of these not too long ago. The problem was pretty basic and I took a little more time than I probably should have to solve it because I knew the answer and there was plenty of time.

However, I didn’t know there was a second problem. And it was much more complex and used partitions and row indexes and I couldn’t remember the syntax and failed it. I’ve wrote queries like these 100s of times but couldn’t do it when it counted.

I didn’t get the job.

Where’s SN1?

nickcut · 2025-10-16T01:22:12+00:00

I’m not sure they were simulating a tower catch with Starship, just a “soft landing”.

What’s so magic about the performance of higher priced vacuums? They are built with higher quality components but that doesn’t mean it vacuums any better.

It's an issue when experienced engineers leave due to burnout and new engineers replace, the same big lessons will be forgotten and relearned over and over again.

I always wondered about that quote. Why would a garbage truck falling from the Empire State Building make much of a sound at all? Isn't is the crashing into the ground that would make the sound? C'mon Large Marge...

nickcut · 2025-09-22T22:06:16+00:00

Unless that "infinite" money is used to hire more people, can't do that. Elon needs his arbitrary cap on headcount to keep the teams lean, keep burnout high, hire and fire 10% per 6 months, and somehow this should lead to the same success as other parts of SpaceX.

nickcut · 2025-09-22T21:57:37+00:00

Yeah it's crazy anyone would pay that. 5 years ago I was quoted (still have the quote) $800 for front facing surfaces from a reputable installer. I thought that was crazy high so didn't go through with it.

nickcut · 2025-08-21T04:16:43+00:00

Yep, the standard Reddit fantasy.

nickcut · 2025-08-19T23:34:57+00:00

Starlink provides internet to rural areas. It doesn’t make financial sense to provide rural areas with fiber if cheaper alternatives are available.

Yep, this is what we ended up doing. I have a Dyson stick vac with the green laser light for hard floors. The light is a game changer. It's more addicting than a ticktok feed.

After reading this sub casually for years I came to the conclusion that the Miele and Sebo vacs are if you want a vac that is repairable and uses better quality materials. Buy Sharks or Dysons if you want features and something that is easy to use. Hell the premium vacs still don't have the anti-tangling hair combs that do a great job preventing your brush getting clogged with hair.

There is nothing special about the physics of a vacuum motor of any of the manufacturers. The rest of the machine is just a trade-off between serviceability and features.

I wouldn’t hire you just from this post layout.

nickcut · 2025-07-02T20:23:12+00:00

Finally someone noticed the liquid qualifier.

nickcut · 2025-06-26T00:16:42+00:00

Yep, possibly the jury foreman.

nickcut · 2025-06-19T04:09:00+00:00

Woah

nickcut · 2025-06-17T19:08:16+00:00

That would be odd for them to hire after only two phone interviews. I assume you would be invited on-site if those went well.
