The chairs are probably more like $1000 after bulk discount for buying hundreds of them,and they'll last 20 years. Having worked in many corporate environments, including FAANGs that seemingly spare no expense, none of them have used t

The fact that the 1:1s are monthly makes me question how much the author really knows about managing people.

The bigger issue I've seen is that there's a relatively fixed amount of time required for overhead activities (e.g. compliance training) and context sharing (meetings). Purely hypothetically, if those sorts of activities eat up 10

While I don't dispute the accuracy of your description, there are some conclusions that I wish we as a society would revisit. By your logic that the researchers only work for the university in a very technical sense (and often retain t

I generally like to base my interview questions on the candidate's resume, asking questions of various levels of difficulty about the areas they claim to be skilled. I find it gives a better sense of their abilities than strictly askin

Friend of mine was an apprentice plumber - was working in a tight space, bumped something and dropped his torch. I'd rather not deal with third degree burns.

When I was interviewing developers from a very large offshoring firm, they covertly had an account manager listening in to take down the questions for future candidates. Each interview, I'd ask a slightly different variation and it bec

Because we've been at or near full employment most of the time. Also, the exact definition of full employment is fuzzy, whereas grocery bills rising is quite tangible.

You were so close to getting there - he is a rationalist and, purely my personal opinion, the markets have been behaving irrationally for several years (I would say even the Trump years of fiscal manipulation to pump the markets). Where I t

Irrelevant - a CIO's job isn't to be a hands-on coder, it's to set a strategy and manage an organization. Companies do a good but if due diligence on that, which is why it's really hard to break into the executive ranks

Unfortunately, the name is already taken - by Cassandra, which is widely used enough that it's probably worth avoiding a naming clash.

This might take the cake for the dumbest comment I've ever read on HN. With absolutely zero data/evidence, you're trying to categorize the views of millions of people, along with their professional qualifications. This is pro

Author is looking for the wrong correlation - the price is only indirectly linked to the amount of silicon being diverted to crypto. Should be correlating to hash capacity.

Incorrect on background checks - there are employment verification services that get quite a lot of data (many companies opt in to sending them payroll data).

Work at a FAANG - received a specified number of unvested shares with my offer, and a fixed vesting schedule.

Had one done, received the packet and they had everything going back to my internships. I think many large employers voluntarily report the info to an employment verification service for mutual benefit.

Those sound like issues with your Docker usage - there are options to keep base image quite streamlined (e.g. alpine or distroless images).

It's funny because it's strikingly similar to .NET web forms' original (and utterly trash) implementation of AJAX. Everything that is old is new again...

That would essentially be Postman or some other API testing tool. The thing is, very few people have any interest in browsing pure data. HATEOAS for JSON is especially useless given the same information can be derived from an API spec like

I'm a big believer that HATEOAS serves no actual purpose. Adding a layer of indirection is pointless - messages get bloated by URLs the client virtually never needs. For the vast majority of APIs, URL structures don't change that
