Vet technician, 33, is scraping by in a small city Ontario house her parents paid for: ‘It’s a lot of guilt’
  • Public Mobile is owned by Telus, there shouldn't be the problems you describe. I live in the middle of nowhere with Lucky Mobile. Text and talk with no data is $15/month.

    But that's not what is normal amoung my peers. The expenses look reasonable to me, but could be optimized further. Normally, optimizing your expenses that much wouldn't be your part time job, but with the current wage situation, that's where we are at.

  • Anyone tech savy enough to do something similar in Canada?
  • Firefox will basically hand you want you need to interact with APIs, here is an example in Powershell of getting a milk price from Superstore for a specific store

    $milk = Invoke-RestMethod -Uri "https://api.pcexpress.ca/product-facade/v4/products/20658152_EA?lang=en&date=16092023&pickupType=STORE&storeId=1511&banner=superstore" `
    -UserAgent "Mozilla/5.0 Gecko/20100101 Firefox/117.0" `
    -Headers @{
      "Origin_Session_Header" = "B"
      "DNT" = "1"
      "Business-User-Agent" = "PCXWEB"
      "x-apikey" = "C1xujSegT5j3ap3yexJjqhOfELwGKYvz"
    }
    
    $milk.offers.price.value
    

    The real question is with that apikey. I didn't see it change across browsers or anything. Is it hardcoded? Does it change regularly? Someone could probably find out if they did enough digging

  • Next Federal Election

    When I think of the next federal election, I get a feeling of hopelessness. I feel like we're screwed no matter what.

    Without any hope of electoral reform, I wonder if we can instead use the tools we have better.

    Independents running always seems like a long shot. The cards are stacked against them. But would it be possible to make it easier for them?

    One of my thoughts would be to use technology. Create a platform for people to engage with their local riding, stripped of obvious party association. And not pay-to-play for candidates.

    Does an idea like that have merit? Do you have any other ideas?

    Tips for a first live coding interview
  • If they know you don't know NestJS, then they're probably not going to be looking to test your knowledge of NestJS. Ideally, the live coding test is designed to go beyond testing your knowledge. If you look at Bloom's Taxonomy https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/5e/Bloom's_Revised_Taxonomy.jpg/800px-Bloom's_Revised_Taxonomy.jpg you can see that knowledge is the base, what they will want to see is closer to the top of the pyramid.
