>Banks are notoriously risk-averse. Except in 2008 when they were idiotic. I felt the need to point out that one specific data point among the trend that otherwise agrees with you.

Helpful is an understatement, it would be life changing for many worldwide. Therapy and prevention measures exist but they're still not available to everyone and can be a significant financial cost, even with insurance. For some, it&#x

Now, get most 'bosses' to understand this concept. If you expect perfection and punish good, then you get people who only push for perfection. There's a delicate balance from management to push people to try and create someth

I think it should be more generalized than "news" related but other than that, I applaud such lessons in public education. Coursework should focus on aspects of information gathering/research; understanding sources, credibili

Commutes wouldn't bother me if I could consider them work time and get paid for them. Instead, they're uncovered overhead costs of work I have to pay daily because I'm driving. That's why the more WFH I get, the less los

Less the costs of transferring jobs. The industry has done everything in its power to try and retain people through disincentives (interview processes, on boarding process, expectations of often absurd spinup to productivity times, etc.) wh

I think the point is that stimuli and physical conditions still create certain emotional responses in you. You may or not be aware of these responses or contributing factors, but most everyone is effected by them. Stick someone in a dark ro

It's a distinct memory that stayed with me when visiting Japan for the first time. One of the first places I went after the train from Narita to my Shinjuku hotel was a 7/11 to use the ATM and pickup local currency. When I walked

That may explain some of the recent improvements in quality in the stores I've noticed. It's not a lot, but a few items like having fresh ground coffee is a welcome sight when traveling as opposed to warmers of coffee prepared by

Well, not all hashing algorithms but all interesting or considered useful hashing algorithms, probably. When dealing with say countable infinite sets you can certainly create a provable unique hash for each item in that set. The hash

The point made was that there are always flaws in these sorts of approaches that lead to false positives. If you can discover the flawed pattern(s) that leads to false positives and engineer them into seemingly harmless images, you can quit

Part of the issue is that FOSS, libraries, and independendent package managers and their specific repositories have exploded in about every domain. No longer are there a handful of places where software and libraries exist. Pick an ecosys

A lot of interviewers have complete leverage, so they don't get any sort of feedback or real check on their ability or processes. It's only when a candidate isn't desperate for the position, is competent, recognizes red flags

In my opinion, if you're hiring for an expert in a specific language, you're not hiring a software engineer, you're hiring X language developer or X language software engineer. The language needs to be explicit in the positio

You can always choose some qualitative attribute or perk about your job, just like businesses use, and put a monetary value on that to you. The value becomes subjective and you can use that as a reference if you decide you do want to disclo

For small businesses this might be true. Small businesses often aren't hiring top tech talent commanding high comp levels, it's usually businesses with loads of capital. If you're playing chicken on who can waste the most cap

It's probably, to some degree, a mixture of both. Rarely ever do decision makers not factor their own interests into their decision making process or skew/distort the situation to their advantage in some way so it's not as

I've worked in research most my career and I tend to agree. The issue is that throwing more people in the same narrow approach most likely won't help if that approach is off to begin with. It has been promising and we've been

I was curious about the medals, compositions, and materials costs so here's what I found. The dimensions of the medals are specified as a minimum of 60mm diameter by 3mm thick. For a cylinder, that's 8.482 cm^3 volume per medal, m

We probably just need to fix loopholes in slander and libel laws and give common people more power to enforce them without making it a huge financial risk. People realized many many years ago how people's names come be abused and drug

Isn't that how the menu systems worked, IIRC. You had to painfully mouse over through the menu and sub menus. I feel like if you clicked a high level menu it disappeared. This site is so nostalgic.

Tech does a lot of circles. I'm convinced it's some combination of short memory and attention span in industry, industry management, or consumers. Sometimes it's about reapproaching old problems with similar approaches where
