  • At this point, it could still go either way. Make no mistake, we’ve already done, and will continue to do, profound damage to the environment and global climate that will take generations to reverse (if that’s even possible). That said, I think it’s going to need to get seriously worse before the world’s largest polluters have no choice but to go against the monied interests in fossil fuels and plastics. Like many very wealthy people are going to have to be directly affected by this is always that can’t be disingenuously explained away.

    Just because they don’t ticket you for it, doesn’t mean it isn’t legally considered reckless. Cops often exercise a bit of discretion when deciding which ticket, if any, to write up. Some people just get out of tickets. I’ve never been that lucky, and I’ve never really driven particularly fast. A quick search suggests reckless is considered 15-over in CA, but I can’t find the specific statute.

    To answer your question, I’ve lived all up and down the east coast and TX.

    Some places are sticklers about the speed limit, and other minor offenses. If you’re local, you tend to know where they are, either from word-of-mouth or local news. Most places won’t ticket for going 5 mph over because a lot of judges will just throw the ticket out, especially if you come with a receipt saying you had your speedometer calibrated. In seemingly more and more places, 10 mph over is the norm. Some of that’s due to shrinking police forces. Pretty much everywhere, 20+ mph over is considered reckless driving.




  • Building on this, if you don’t know at first but think you might, it’s ok to ask questions to flesh out and better understand the question. It highlights your troubleshooting skills. If you still don’t know and they tell you the answer, there’s nothing wrong with asking follow up questions. This can demonstrate your interest in the subject as well as possibly highlight knowledge they haven’t specifically asked you about.

    In this vein, don’t forget that logs usually exist, and if they don’t you can often enable debugging. When something’s going wrong the first question I usually try to answer is “what’s the error message?” There isn’t always one, but if there is, knowing it can be a big help.

    ETA: Most technical interviewers recognize that the average candidate will need some training for their specific environment, especially for junior positions. They’re looking for trainability, critical thinking, and troubleshooting skills. You may not be well versed in the specific tool they use for, e.g., configuration management, but if you demonstrate an understanding of the concept, that will show them that you can be easily trained to meet their specific needs.

    I’ve seen a bunch that are really good, but I’ll add a couple:

    BLT. Simple and so so good.

    Toastie, or grilled cheese. Couple of ways to punch the is up. Use a thick cut crusty bread. Include some Branson Pickle. I learned about this in London, and it’s amazing. My mom used to make a grilled cheese with tomato and bacon. Either way, or just a plain old grilled cheese is pretty good.
