The Grateful Dead Movie, don't know if it's online. A in-depth look at GD shows mid-70's, near their creative peak. Lots of backstage footage, fan interviews, and some pretty neat …

Tiare F.M. in Tahiti. Mostly Jawaiian / Jahitian music but with a lot of weird euro, country, and retro pop songs mixed in as well.

As a recent poster to "ask HN" who can't get hired for anything in SWE due to my age, to me it seems you should count your blessings if employment is so abundant in your life that …

dont forget graph theory. FB caught me off guard on a takehome project which involved contact tracing (very timely in 2021) Dyjkstra's algorithm (spelling?) and backward tracing th…

Also the 'metrics' being used to make the final decision are secret, most likely not known even by the interviewer. This prevents gaming the system but the lack of transparency mak…
