And everything crumble down when I've stood my ground against "we have other motivated candidates" and my backup alternatives turned out to be a complete mess upon further inspection, started back pedaling on previously agreed terms (written but not signed), and just simply ghosted me.
Maybe a cultural difference considering I'm in Asia but in roughly 1/3 of the follow up interview I've experienced, the HR / manager mentioned there were other motivated candidates. Most of the times it came after I expressed I was hesitant after being low balled hard in term of income.
Retort with “well I hope there’s other motivated candidates, if there wasn’t it means this place sucks”
Perhaps motivated also implies “just as talented as you” which might give you some room to explore. Ask what they have that makes them looks as good as you. That could work to your advantage if they stumble on it or are super vague “just as many years of experience “ means nothing. 12 years or 6 sessions of 2 years ago experience?
Course it could also blow up in your face as the recruiter talks themselves into hiring the other person.
Assuming they've actually made an offer, I agree that it sounds like something they're firm on and, probably, while they might indeed be willing to hire you, they're perfectly fine with their fallbacks.
This is nice but I don't see myself using this as vim command are short (at the price of being cryptic to beginners) compared to emacs interminable shortcuts.
A vim version of emacs swiper, now I could definitely use that !
To be honest this isn't quite a big deal. Why would anyone let an airplane running for days continuously.
Just a quick calculation. If it takes 248 days = 248 * 24 * 3600 seconds to go to 1 to 2^32, then the sensors have a sampling time of 5ms so it takes a measurement at a 200Hz frequency.
Not related to anything but it's nice to know I guess.
This is quite old news though. I remember it was mentioned in last year's CS50 lecture about integers.
