I was part of Intel's mass layoffs in 2016. I hated my job at the time, but looking back now I wish I was back in the spot where my compensation was not quite "ridiculous", but gre…

Just south Lancaster, PA. I know a co-worker who is north of the city is waitlisted.

Signed up this morning for the service. I should have the gateway next week. A few things to note 1) The gateway has built in wifi (and is provided free) 2) It provides 2 ethernet …

I got an Acer C720A 5 years ago and tried to do that. I sideloaded linux on an SD card. I was able to do web dev and hybrid app development (I worked for Intel at the time). It wor…

I'll second this. I put myself in a downward spiral from bad sleep and being dependent on caffeine. I'm now aware of how I "feel" when I'm just really tired.

Any current or former employee will all tell you the same; Intel did NOT forget to mention this. After the fiasco with compilers and chips in the past, they have to go through rigo…

Facebook did this years ago. It went through your contacts and updated any info (pictures, phone, email) to match what they had in Facebook.

Call your local USPS office tell them you are going to file a formal complaint/grievance to Amazon about the delivery. The driver can get reprimanded for it. Amazon Prime deliverie…

Intel is not leading by example. They are trying to make up new markets and push OEMS to it. The core of Intel is used to the "WinTel" generation where they could strong arm vendor…

I have a 2009 MBP that I use at home. Still does a great job for what I need and I'll do some iOS development on it. Newer computer is a Lenovo Flex 3 with Win 10 I got for under $…

I'll second this. Titles vary across company size, and even then are different from company to company (e.g a Principal Engineer at Intel would not make PE at Google). I was a Staf…

Intel divested Mashery, along with Aepona and dropped their cloud services division.

I have a garmin vivoactive smartwatch. It does most of what my pepple could do, but has a lot more. It has built in GPS and an amazing battery life. I get 1 week with daily runs us…

Ive been looking for the same thing. Tried dokku and it was painfully slow. Tried rolling my own solution via git hooks but other devs had problems with execution. I would love to …

Because thats what i was exposed to. Im a 34 year old white guy and have no problem saying it felt like welfare for "middle" class. the bonus and stock handouts were absurd. Yes In…

You can cruise and do nothing. I worked at Intel for 3.5 years and watched "old white guys" collect $200k+ in pay/bonus/stock and do about 1 month of real work. But it is soul suck…

lol... every triathlete is "pretty competitive" ;). My wife and I switch to running and are using garmin vivoactives. The battery life is amazing and works great swimming (no gps) …

My wife got a pebble time last year after upgrading her OG pepple. It scratched like crazy and had tons of issues. She bought a Garmin Vivoactive after xmas and both of us havent l…

I still use my 2009 MBP. I upgraded to an SSD drive and 8 gigs of ram. I don't game on it, but I can do almost all of my development on it. I'll admit it's slower then my 2013 MPB …

I was recently in vegas. You can get hotel rooms cheap, but they have the tax and entertainment fee's that add up quickly. My problem with AirBnB was the $200 cleaning fee for a tw…

I did 23andme and then talked my dad and uncle into doing it. Found out a lot of "obvious" stuff we were genetically predisposed to, but it was nice to finally have scientific proo…
