Take the job for now. Do you get exposure to the managing the cluster itself? Like at the hardware level or storage/job scheduler? Or are you a user and just processing the code to run? The HPC infra jobs are in demand in the US with t

correlation does not equal causation homie. a US news listicle with a method of ranking doesn't mean anything. i can find a list that has mass towards the middle or bottom depending on the bias of the ranking i share.

In addition to many wise things stated, such as school choice and accepting some kids aren't as smart as others, teachers unions (and any public worker union, esp police) need to be abolished asap.

Outside of wanting to work at some tier 1 startup like OpenAI or being a CTO/CISO, I see no financial incentive to live/work in a metro area like the Bay area. I'd like to see some comparison between a remote worker getting a

Yeah these people graduating from boot camps are super naive from my experience. Every single project is a ruby on rails twitter clone. Yawn. What happened to doing something novel or applying code to a personal interest? If you love to hik

The NSA famously recruits math geniuses and quants to solve abstract problems, esp. around cryptography. If you're a security person hired to harden infrastructure or web services, its not so abstract. People like Snowden for example.

I mean, there's a case to be made there. More often than not, anti-depressants are the first option given when someone is presenting those symptoms. There is little to no effort to address the root cause. It should be a last resort. Sa

I dont think the consumers of cheap candy products care tbh. Hershey and similar tiered chocolate all have emulsifiers like polyglycerol polyricinoleate and lecithin. If something is sold at a gas station, its bad for you.
