    Not understanding the questions is very much an indicator.

    If it is an option, ask to take these tests together with a professional during assessment. They can both clarify the questions and will also make note of your approach to the test which is strong data.










  • Memoization cards! Good for driving snippets of information through short-term memory, medium-term, and into long-term.

    Cut up cardboard pieces roughly credit card sized.

    On each write a cue on one side e.g. “Anatomical name of funny bone”, and answer on other side e.g. “ulnar nerve”.

    Keep them in stacks of “hourly”, “daily”, “weekly”, “monthly”.

    Every hour, go through the hourly pile one by one and try to answer it, then flip and check. If correct, move to daily pile.

    Every day, go through daily pile. Correct go to “weekly”, incorrect go back to “hourly”.

    Etc for the other piles






  • Is it a privately owned company under at-will employment? Then don’t allow yourself loyalty to an abstract entity that would ruin your life if it was more convenient than not.

    At any rate: If you change, you are safer long term. When things one day get hard, it is healthy to know that you are able to move employment on your own terms.



  • I’m a software developer, and understand the technicalities and options available to me. I am capable of forking Firefox and make myself a custom build with anything I don’t like stripped out. (Capable of, not wanting to.)

    They removed “We don’t sell your data and we never will” from their FAQ and they added “We may sell your data” to the ToS.

    I am unhappy about this change. It is a clear sign that the people in charge of Firefox want to sell user data, and that the irrecoverable enshittification path has been chosen. It means that at some point in the next few years, I can’t trust Firefox’ with my privacy. And they sure as fuck don’t have anything else going for them: The browser eats memory and freezes my camera during video conferencing, and is plain not supported in some of the software I use at work.

    The rationale is probably something entirely reasonable, like “While we do not intend to sell user data, the phrasing was too vague and not helpful. What is selling, and what is user data, really?” An organization with strong privacy values would be so far from anything “bad” that the phrasing as it was would not be a problem for them.

    It’s irrelevant that right now privacy settings and xyz and telmentry is clear and opt in etc. Because the point is that they are gearing up to change that. The settings will be less clear, user data will be separated into shit like “operability assistance”, “personal information”, “experience improvement metrics” with some of it enabled by default because, etc.
