Shure != Bose, but also I don’t think you can shower in the Shure IEMs. Maybe with a case or something on them.
I use Aftershokz for something like shower listening but those are the opposite of your problem - they’re bone conduction so they do not block any sound.
Also to be clear - my earbuds are wireless in that they just clip to my belt loop with the Bluetooth receiver. So I can have them out of the way but easily available.
I know you’re specifically looking for ANC but given the price range have you looked at something like a good quality pair of wired IEMs with a pair of tightly fitted ear tips?
I ride the notoriously loud (94dba) NYC subway with them and it deadens most of the noise.
I used to wear my Shure 215s to sleep no problem. I’ve had them a couple years now and love them.
I’ve got a Qudelix 5K Bluetooth receiver that lets my plug in any wired headphones to it and it’s great. I’ll be replacing the battery here in the next year or two which is a bit fiddly but is at least doable - unlike earbuds.
My setup was about $200-$250 total and it’s modular so replacing any part of it is cheaper.
Because none of the crew can step foot on American soil. It’s a Singaporean vessel with an Indian and Sri Lankan crew. They don’t have visas and so they’re denied entry.
The bureaucracy of DHS knows no limits and has no compassion.
I’m loving my zigbee2mqtt setup. Took a couple tries to get the mosquitto broker working right but worth it in the long run.
Yeah and how many applicants do you have a day? Hundreds? Tens? How long is your average posting open?
Cause I do interviews as well - the candidates are many and the positions few.
What worked best for me was taking notes on some common algorithms and patterns. Dynamic programming is a really common domain of algorithms that you’ll find in coding questions, but you’ll need to know a bit of everything. Major graphing algorithms like Kruskals and Dijkstra’s, BFS/DFS and maybe the Bellman-Ford algorithm etc etc etc.
But most importantly as you take notes on what each of these concepts or algorithms are - write in your own words how to choose them from the list of possible solutions.
Here’s a sample of notes I wrote on backtracking algorithms:
The basic idea of backtracking is that you permute based on a given state, iterating it forward by 1 then removing afterwards to check the next state. It is faster than using a hash table because you’re not constantly creating objects.
For example, when trying to do combinatorial sums:
[1, 2, 4] goal 7
You have the following correct answers: [[1,1,1,1,1,1,1], [1,1,1,1,1,2], [1,1,1,2,2], [1,1,1,4], [1,2,2,2], [1,2,4]]
You can quickly see a repeating pattern of values, which is a clear sign of backtracking being an efficient solution.
The point of all of this is to get it into your head how to choose which algorithm, then you work on the speed with leetcode practice. So my regimen when I was searching for a job was to take an hour a day to study an old concept or learn a new one and then run some leetcode questions. This worked much better than unguided random grinding.
The other issue with coding questions is defining the parameters and other communications skills. That’s a bit trickier - but ultimately Programming is a collaborative field. The stereotype of the aloof genius programmer who doesn’t talk to anyone is noxious: those kinds of people destroy programming teams. The best programmers are collaborative and have good communication skills. They know when to ask questions and when to interpret ambiguity on their own.
That’s the harder part to get if you don’t have it (it took me more than a decade) but it makes a massive difference in the results.
Good luck and God speed.
Easy way to never get a job.
The market is very competitive right now.
No, not if they already had a “correct” solution.
It’s normal to know the answer you’re looking for before you ask the question, and they thought they did in this case.
Price limits and such are fine but you can’t beat generics for putting pressure on price.
You can squeeze the rich for 2 years then it’s generic
What part is the myth?
Which batteries are “high quality”?
Cause it happens… Pretty regularly if you’re not limiting charging. The older the battery the more likely.
This isn’t something you should fuck around with either: if it pops it’ll burn too hot to extinguish and could take out your house.
Because over time the battery degrades, swells, and becomes a fire risk.
Keeping it only 80% charged can help mitigate it but not fully.
correct
If a smart home app is required I’m out
Still hopeful that matter and thread get ironed out. It’s the standardization the systems need: no more “download tuya to install”
Offline control
standardized setup
Low energy optimized
Currently I have to run a few different bridges to keep everything happy. Zigbee2mqtt is definitely my most used.
If they’re using Home Assistant then it’s pretty straightforward. You can either have the devices report back their location and update based on a Geofence or you can check and see if everyone’s on the wifi or not
Don’t wear sockless sandals in NYC
Stay ringworm free
Wool socks don’t need washing as frequently as cotton. They’ve got antimicrobial properties that make them take longer to get stinky.
If you’re only wearing wool socks you can go several days, especially in the winter. Summer socks? Daily imo.
… Which makes it even less credible legally.
Unless you’re getting C-suite level emails saying they’re not going to do it, don’t trust them.
And even then you should be ready to sue.
It’s less idiocy and more laziness. Any amount of inconvenience is too much for a lot of humans, unfortunately.
