Maybe if the people running these companies didn't seem to hate their own employees so much they'd get more out of them. Schmidt is the same one who was campaigning for more tech visas as layoffs were cranking up in 2022 because h

Context is important in English. Your example is, again, a different context. A library is one or the other. Talking about safe systems languages where C and C++ share memory safety issues is very different from promoting a library. Thanks

A library can be written in one or the other. Note most of your "evidence" is job postings, which are generally written by non-technical folks who often mistake Javascript and Java. But no, there is no "C/C++" langu

They saw “voice” as the next “mobile” and tried to take it over the way Meta wants VR now. The idea of owning a platform the way Apple owns iOS is what drives these companies to delusion.

Or if you value community and realize all the folks with ambition leaving an area is sad for that community. I don’t have to be cheering for my hometown to win to think it’s sad someone must choose between the community they grew up in and

Do you mean lossless over lossy? Few people if any will be able to tell the difference between 16/44.1 lossless and 24/44.1 or 24/48 lossless.

My understanding was Opus was specifically developed with the idea of replacing both Speex and Vorbis. "Better quality than Speex" is literally one of their selling points, so I'd be interested to hear more details.

CA lets your kids inherit the tax treatment and allows corporations the same benefit. Once you do those things, it’s off in a whole other realm than normal homestead exemptions. The rapid run-up of home values in the US has led other states

No, these engineers at FAANG companies could not solve those problems cold without having been taught how. I have worked at two, which is how I know. I have never seen a question in an interview I haven’t seen before. Many of these question

No, we have a view of people who are over-stretched failing to meet their obligations while still taking those spots for clout and resume. Your example fits that perfectly. No one wants to be the chair of a non-profit that isn't doing

Don’t buy the hustle porn. Most people in these roles are leisure class and working essentially part time jobs. Their most important functions are PR and sales, which in this age aren’t nothing for sure — that’s just not enough work to real

Not that I’m looking to take any side here, but they could see it as a conflict of interest, especially given YC may wish to invest in competitors, which wouldn’t have anything to do with performance.

And bonus: Obsidian-like apps are their own subcategory now. Once you start using one, you can usually just open the root folder in any of the other apps and give them a spin with very little setup.

The point is this is essentially what upper management is doing. They aren’t going to wave a wand and have a national housing crisis fixed and high cost of living areas be suddenly more affordable to mid level developers. Moreover certain c

I believe the idea is you replace individuals who solely manage across the board, with the idea management is really a part time job. That so many executives split their time would suggest that might very well be the case. With that in mind

We all know startups are crossing that line all the time with their "off-sites," hanging out in Airbnbs and coding together for a week or so at a time around conferences.

The point remains: software is continually used as the scapegoat when things go wrong to shield human actors. Practitioners in our, admittedly young, field have shown very little appetite for taking any sort of responsibility expected of en

The initial part of the article seems to imply this would be used by a large group of people, but then later clarifies it's for a person or two at the church, meaning it's essentially selling marketing info. Is this different than

It was true when I left a year ago. I was surprised to find the next hire after me was 20 years my senior. I actually felt like my mid-30s “youth” worked against me at times there.

They haven’t paid for marketing yet, which can be a significant portion of a film’s budget (like half). You’re taking risk and at least fronting money, so a small win of taking the loss (expenses with no revenue) may look better to finance.

It’s just used to gatekeep still. It justifies why they should hire the new grad masters student with a similar background over someone who has actually written the code before.
