A friend in HR told me once that HR people very rarely give bad reviews, especially to people they don't know. Badmouthing an employee, without the legal case to explain it, is often seen as giving a bad rep to the organization. You sh

There are still minor issues. The roughness slider disappeared when I slid it all the way to the right (on Firefox 60). But good work anyway, the results are really nice!

And they make a lot of direct lobbying toward local government to make sure they don't enforce existing taxi laws.

I'll ponder on that. Thanks for the shared wisdom!

I totally agree. I really think it is heading toward a med school styled specialization. And with that will come the added prestige. CS is so remote from pure/natural sciences, it screams for standalone schools, like law and medicine.

What is really nasty is the fact that there is a huge demand for phd students as they drive research forward. So they deduce there will be demand once they graduate, which is not the case.

You can't know for sure that dad/friend/partner didn't write or review the assignment either. How about a 4-5 hours coding rush in the office, where you have to add a few functions or features to an existing codebase?

We haven't patented it, but sociology has studied mating through the lens of socioeconomic classes for a while. What you describe is upper middle class mating! You just forgot to ask if he is an engineer, a physician or a lawyer.

An ideology that requires killing random people always seems flawed to me.

I will not escalate this discussion as I feel it diverges from HN ethics of deliberation. I hope you have a great day!

It's incredible to me that so many Americans consider free market as an ideal. They substitute compassion and cooperation with a superficial version of competition and cruelty.

Workers in the game industry are not only devs. There are also artists, testers, IT techs, marketers. I'm not sure the biggest issue is about the salary, but the (unpaid) overtime, precarity, sudden lay-offs, etc.

The comment is interesting, because it proposes that an engineer with a 100k salary is now taught as somewhat poor. Hence the impossibility of being working class poor. I'm from a G7 country and still, 100k a year is understood here as

Prestige is usually sought by male pupils. Also, when kids make program choices, they do it by their 'perception' of the profession, not by actual professional reality. To reflect on first op, first half of the article is straw ma

I'd add that in this celebration of diversity, SF has become intelorant toward poverty. Being poor is now almost impossible due to astronomic rent. I might be wrong, but I assume you find very few working class people having anything t

It is the tool too. Former teacher here: I taught open project classes, one class with old school desktop computers and one with iPads. The difference between the two techs was immense. Desktops are made for productivity. You have a mouse,

It's all about the cables in rural Canada. We have decent offer in urban centers, but in Podunk, New Brunswick or whichever the snowbank you're stuck in you often have to rely on the only telco covering the area.

I feel some commenters are missing the point that these symbolic protests are only trying to bring the general issue of tax optimization to the public eye. I'm pretty sure no one went there thinking: "Ok let's shout a few slo

One of the reason Dr. Disrepect is so good at what he does, is that he makes his fans absolutely obsessed by him. He is the only streamer that I know that can be talked about in other channels without reprisal. The OP is just an example of

Can you elaborate on point 3? If the argument is ideological, I get it. I'm more interested in the technical argument.

Have you read the article? It defends the original position you quote, especially in the case of jungian psychology and myer-briggs model. Everytime you hear someone saying you can divide the world in two separate categories, you can know t

Would you care to elaborate? My main doubt comes the fact that language meaning may vary between different contexts, but I am no expert and am earnestly curious about using NLP and ML with not-that-big data.

It seems that you use children development stages as inspiration for AI development. Can you explicit your approach? You can also see my question as a rebuttal to the "it is useless" argument.
