I think one of the main advantages of RxJava is that the api is consistent across languages and platforms. Making it possible to switch between Android, Backend, and iOS without having to learn the caveats of a particularly framework. The debug & testing support looks really good so will check reactor out for some future project and see how it is.

Seems similar to me, I've been exclusively using geforce now for the past 6 months. Works extremely well if you're just a casual gamer with no dedicated gaming computer (I'm playing on my Mac). I'm curious to see how it stacks up against it and what the price of it would be

I've been recording a video a day (1 second), it makes me be more conscious about finding something meaningful every day, and watching the result at the end of the year is really rewarding.

What do you put in the videos? Would you mind sharing some examples (in text form)?

The videos are mostly of my daily life, it can be friends & family, things that inspired me that day, or even something as simple as enjoying a coffee in the sun. Some days it can be just a screen of code, or a routine task. However the main idea for me is to find a moment a day that I'm more mindful about.

Initially I used 1 second every day app to do this, but have since a few years created my own app for it (https://www.leapsecond.co). Here's an example video from 2016 https://youtu.be/CBstXlmy35k

iOS app “Leap Second” made about 2k a month last year this year 5-10k. Required some initial upfront work to create the app but since then Ive been putting in about 2h per week.

What's "exploitative" about this? It's a simple coding project that would just takes a few hours.

The "work" for "no pay" part. That's always exploitation, no matter how you try and justify it.

Yes I agree, but this is not about working for 3 months unpaid, this is about a coding interview: https://github.com/surya-soft/Interview/issues/2

This is a completely different company than the original post mentioned.

A 4 hour coding assignment is half a day of work. I don't care if it is a toy project and if there is no business value in the work. But a 4 hour coding assignment is still half a day.

I may have to take a leave from my current work, take half a day off off my current contract or spend a significant part of my weekend on this problem, instead of with my family. I certainly expect to be paid for it.

@jonandersense Honestly, I prefer doing a 1 day onsite interview. The equation is different here. Here, the company is investing as much time in interviewing me as I am putting in them. It sounds fair.

But doing half a day coding exercise even before any technical interviewer in the company is ready to talk to me has a very imbalanced investment of time from both sides. I invest 4 hours in the company when the company invests none.

That's true, it does take time. Interviewing for larger companies at least in the US is usually 1 day onsite. Would you expect to get paid for that as well? In the end however you do it you'll have to spend a few hours interviewing.

You're okay doing a coding project for a few hours? Good for you! I like to get paid by the hour.

I think for an interview, it's a reasonable alternative instead of doing an 1-2h long coding interview. You have to interview people in some way, and a small coding project that you can discuss and talk about has been a nice experience for me. How do you want an interview to be conducted?

In that case, we agree. I too believe that a 1 hour coding interview is reasonable although I am not too sure if it is ethical to do so without paying. But if it is a 4 hour coding interview without pay, I am certain that it is unethical.

Since you asked for alternatives, here are some suggestions I have:

- If you want to do a 4 hour coding round even before a phone interview, at least pay for your candidate's time and effort.

- Otherwise, restrict your coding round to 1 hour. I think this strikes the right balance between lack of pay and my time spent.

I just tested this and it does animate (a brief flash). This is on iOS 11, so maybe you have a different version?

yes, this was iOS 9 or 10

Been biking in both Los Angeles & New York as my commute. In LA driving took 1-2h while biking took 1h. In my experience it's been faster for my commute, however there's still many days where there are no bikes where I live (UWS).

I can highly recommend trying out the Citi bike if you live in New York, it's so cheap and many of the companies pays for it.
