It’s a better metric because GDP gives some insight in the potential income of a country. Although it must be coupled with current tax % to be really useful. Debt usually has monthly or yearly payments, GDP refers to yearly income. In that

How is the comparison to GDP relevant? GDP is the amount of good and services a country produced in a year expressed in some currency. An endowment is an amount of money? Totally different things I would say? But I have seen this type of ph

I think this is a great model, only downside is that you still have to live close to the office which in my opinion is less of a problem in Europe than it is in the US.

I’ve worked with some consultants that were ‘senior’ after 2-3 years of experience. I think there are two reasons for this trend: giving some a senior title can sometimes mean you have to pay them less (paradoxically perhaps) because they f

Yes.. but FreeBSD is used by a lot of people! It’s used on a lot of servers. Netflix’ CDN for example runs FreeBSD.

Did you ever build HTTP based APIs in Java (or C#), what makes you prefer Go? I have been using Java for a long time but will soon be using Go because of a job change and I am trying to get a better sense of the trade-offs and advantages.

What were you using before Go? I notice in the relies that a lot of people are coming from Python. Did you consider using Java? And if so what made you use Go in the end?

Can I ask about the choice to not use any libraries? As in your go.mod file is empty? I understand the desire to keep dependencies to a minimum but surely there are use cases where it is better to import existing code rather than writing so

I used to be of the same opinion but after writing a lot of Go web services I don’t agree anymore. Go’s HTTP interface is a bit weird and while I am sure there is a reason for all the strange choices, for average non-performance critical co

What I don’t understand is how those two incidents are even relevant. Chernobyl happened because of a faulty design + mismanagement and Fukushima was located on a region prone to earthquakes/tsunami’s caused by earthquakes. The factors

I think Java gets a lot of flak because it is so popular within enterprises. And we all know what kind of code gets written in non-IT corporates. Add to that the fact that Java allows you to do a lot means a lot of crazy code was conjured u

Anyone have any recommendations for a SQL engine that works on in-memory data and has a simple/monolithic architecture? Our data is about 50-100gb (uncompressed) and thus easily fits into memory. I am sure we could do our processing us

Yes but how expensive? The color range in technical diagrams is extremely small ( I would say less than 10 colors, never? gradients). How much extra would it cost to print $5? On a $50 book I would argue the increase is negligible while the

Exactly I think there are different types of jobs. If you just need to make a basic web site I am sure you can learn those skills in a few months. Being able to build real systems is another matter entirely and requires a lot of learning (f

I gave this a try. Looks neat however one thing I noticed is that it does not seem very performant in querying parquet files. Take this simple query for example: 'select * from ./order.parquet limit 5;' It takes roughly 38sec

Not sure when you last used it. But it is a lot faster now. Still slow compared to local tools of course.

Serious question: is it really? I always thought that crypto was specifically not rated as a financial asset and thus didn’t have nearly as strict regulation as other financial products. For example what is the difference between 1% daily r

Having taken some interviews myself I can see some value in having the interviewee do some small coding exercise when they do not have any personal projects to show. I think it can filter out some false positives of candidates that can talk
