Sapozhnik posted:well, you know how there's a bunch of people driving all these new build condo developments in the middle of every major city, where the units are all bought sight unseen, and there's some system for turning the lights on and off in each unit periodically even though nobody actually lives there? i honestly had no idea as far as i knew property hoarding could just mean owning more than one home, like you live in washington during the summer and florida during the winter buying property you literally never use didn't occur to me because it's weird and stupid

the only other example i could think of was rental properties that sit empty because the owner priced them too high

Poniard posted:Got a call today from a company that says they are gonna get me ~secret clearance~ but I have to do prescreen paperwork on a pdf that isn't even signed properly. The person over the phone emailed it to me and all their info seems to be in order but I know that poo poo can be faked. There's a page on the company's website that says there are some fun identity theft scams going around where someone calls you and asks for all your personal info as if to fill out security clearance paperwork but you just get owned. I know government contractors are behind the times with technology but I don't know if this is legit or if I'm just being paranoid. most def handle your due diligence. don't be shy about refusing to submit private info through a sketchy communication line. but yeah, it's crazy how many companies gently caress up basic poo poo like that a company that wanted to contract my employer as a vendor sent a form that asked all kinds of questions about security clearance and regulation compliance. it was in a word document containing macros. in tyoomfl 2015

gonadic io posted:This is exactly why you shouldn't give a number. If you ask for 50 and they can only do 40 they'll tell you and you'll get 40. yeah let them make an offer first if you can last two places i interviewed: #1 i bid first at about 30% above my current salary, and they didn't even haggle #2 they bid first at 48% above the same salary the interviews were less than a year apart so seniority wasn't a huge factor

typescript has made a few of my node modules way easier to maintain and generally more pleasant to work with react has become my preferred framework for front end web stuff. I've been curious how well it plays with typescript, but so far i haven't felt a pressing need to combine them angular still sucks

i spent 2+ years on a gargantuan eclipse rcp that encompassed three plugins and i forget how many different projects for releng, the update site, etc. ad nauseam then we rewrote it as a vscode extension in like a week and abandoned the rcp almost immediately since then the only time i've had to touch java is for android, and even then most of my newer projects use c#/xamarin i don't miss java

PIZZA.BAT posted:i've noticed an unexpected bonus of hunting for a job when you're not trying to get out asap and also because you're remote you're overpaid for your region: not only can i play hardball with recruiters, but when they inevitably tell me the salary band and i tell them it's way too low i'm gently nudging the salary higher for everyone else in the region this is pretty loving brilliant
