Yeah a combination of people constantly posting hate on Web3, the need to spend a lot of time keeping on top of a stupidly fast sector, and the users demanding you move fast for maximum ROI while also demanding perfect security is just a lo

I heard this argument and thought the same, but looking into it there is no standard definition for a recession. Two quarters is a nice layman version people share, but it does involve other factors. This isn't something that's

Please don't suggest this, it might end up happening!

I had to navigate a dynamic maze involving teleports and boulders to show my leet graphing abilities to join as a test engineer :) Suffice to say I failed. I build test frameworks, manage test network infrastructure, and deploy CI/CD p

I've heard it is used at AWS. I've seen it personally used in crypto on the Cardano blockchain. Leslie Lamport gave a talk at my old workplace and mentioned several big companies in tech and finance that use it but I'm not su

Yep. I went to a good private school (a so called public school in England) and can confirm it does not result in good grades lol. It still requires some drive and care about school to succeed.

Wouldn't someone who conforms to the norms tend to become the average of that environment?

Cambridge isn't exempt - if you're a great rower you can get into Land Economics pretty easily ;)

You think all 40,000 per year are going to be successful if they coast? And doesn't it require some tenacity to get into an Ivy school, meaning they're the type of person less likely to coast? This comment comes off as somewhat

Yes in order to make the One Ring more powerful than the other rings he had to put his own strength into it. However the elven rings weren't made by Sauron so he couldn't control those (eventually worn by Gandalf, Galadriel, and E

by EddySchauHai 4y ago
Originally Sauron was a Maia who was 'good and uncorrupted' with a passion for order. He sided with Morgoth because he thought if they could control the minds of Middle-Earth they'd be better off. As far as I know, in the lor

Either one we’ve seen or one we haven’t! In the canon lore he disguises himself as the Lord of Gifts from Valinor and works with Celebrimbor to create the rings of power. Elrond, Gil-Galad and Galadriel don’t trust him but don’t realize who

I’m a pretty big Tolkien fan and I absolutely love this series. They keep surprising me with license-scope beyond what I thought Amazon acquired (using content from the Simarilian for example). If you’re on the fence about this show because

I live in midtown and can confirm it’s dead! I refer to downtown as the city center fwiw

I enjoy the people I meet living in Palo Alto but yes, it’s very sleepy. Couple bars downtown and that’s it, really. In Europe it’d be classed as a small town.

It’s surprisingly complex to run a node unless you’re a seasoned developer, and even then when you add things like updates and potentially even slashing for mistakes it’s not worth it. I spent around two years contracting building test infr

by EddySchauHai 4y ago
I think any contract developer will be on the 95%+ percentile. When I started contracting in my mid-20s I was in the UKs 1% for a 40 hour gig done from my bedroom desk. It’s pretty mental.

Seems perfectly reasonable to me, maybe 1 month off a year. All my UK contractor friends make over £550pd and have work whenever they want

The hardest job I had paid minimum wage when I was 16 in the UK - 3.98 an hour. I make more money taking a crap as a software engineer than I made in an 8 hour day as a developer. That's not a joke, I did the math the other day. People

Yeah it’s becoming more and more common that universities allow previous experience to count, probably after raising the number of student intakes allowed in the UK. Now if you can pay and if you will probably pass you’re allowed in, from w

Yeah exactly. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with SE degrees, they can be as rigorous on CS topics while swapping later maths modules for engineering modules. I ended up taking an MSc in CS fwiw.

This one was a bit of a cash cow. I lived in Oxford for a few years while my wife worked on her DPhil and agree in general the other courses are much more difficult to get in.

Nope; definitely an MSc! It’s a bit of a cash cow course, ended up doing an MSc in CS at another university.

by EddySchauHai 4y ago
No degree in any field. Ended up enrolling in an MSc in CS at another university though!

by EddySchauHai 4y ago
I interviewed at Oxford for an MSc in Software Engineering with no bachelors degree lol. There are sneaky gateways into a lot of top universities.

Wow, that company is 73% at Unix Administration AND 80% at Network Solutions. If only they were 70% at Python I'd have hired them for a project. I need a company with those stats.

I’ve had fun in the Web3 space working with devs who I only know from a GitHub handle and an avatar. Paid in crypto, work well, but no need to know who they are. Pretty funky environment to be around!
