The downvote without a reply is a really unhealthy thing for a community especially one that only gives downvoting privileges to supposed long time contributors. I provided a perfectly reasonable counter example with a company that demonstr

I went through the interview process with Square and their compensation is around that level and it was just a 3 round interview process no muss no fuss. Phone interview went well, completely crushed the coding interview (which was coderpad

Yeah so a big name PEO definitely doesn't do this, I have the same situation right now. Both companies were rolled into one W2 for me. FTE, engineer in both cases. Edit: I also get this is likely legal but didn't sit well with me.

Excuse in the sense of "forgive" that people have a US bias. I agree with you and you read something from that I didn't intend sorry about that.

First off I said "traditionally US centric" which it was. I maybe should have said "historically US centric" which would be more in line with what I was trying to get across. I don't think it is anymore. And second

Edit: I'm going to put this here because it clearly rubbed some people the wrong way, HN and YC were historically US focused they have since expanded but this site still has a large US population that view and post on it and with that

I learned x86 from Xeno Kovah's course and I imagine his x64 will be just as comprehensive. It looks like his x64 is just slides instead of videos which may be better, sitting through 16hrs of video when I was learning x86 was ... an e

I had thought of that but the people I'm talking about are people who had raised VC and later realized that if they want a sustainable business instead of a unicorn they may have missed the boat by working with VCs. I think like everyt

I can say in the New York scene the opinion seems to be quite the opposite. There is a non-trivial amount of wariness when it comes to VC money.

I think this article is trying to make something out to be more than it actually is. Debt financing is a specific vehicle that can be used tactically for a relatively mature business (Series A area +) with predictable revenue for specific g

Yeah the focus on exclusively money baffles me. Like cool you get to buy a bigger house and go on some nicer vacations. Depending on the big co, they own you. I can't say I'm not working as an employee right now but every time I&#

Elixir as a language provides a very robust standard lib with most tools to accomplish many tasks that would require external dependencies in other languages. Combine that with the actor model, Erlang's vm and own std lib and you have

Oh interesting I'll have to check, we did an upgrade pass a while ago maybe we just didn't upgrade pandas for whatever reason.

Pandas' type conversions irk me. I get why columns with NaN convert to float from integer but very rarely do I have data that is complete for every column and converting columns that were intentionally integer has caused headaches when

I've used Gust twice and I've been satisfied every time. The slightly more expensive plan also nets you 15k in AWS credit.

Worth noting too you may just not meet our idea of novel if your score is sufficiently low you are not ranked.

If it's newer than a few weeks ago it's not in there, we also dropped about 150k-300k results on indexing and figured it really wasn't a concern considering it's an alpha. Sorry about that, the index has about 1.4m recor

This is something I'm currently focused on solving actually. Currently on Show a ways down is the alpha but the basic gist is a search engine focused on discovery while maintaining topical relevance. We thoroughly agree that search res

To give some context, for this demo we crawled the entirety of public GitHub to show off our idea of what we mean by novel. We chose GitHub because we figured HN might like to see some cooler repos for things they are interested in. We have
