You can read Powell's remarks here: https://www.wsj.com/articles/transcript-fed-chief-powells-po... Contrary to this wonderfully editorialized piece, Powell is talking about wage growth not wages themselves. Let

This is a really trash article. It's really biased--the economist they interview is part of this group: https://internationalmanifesto.org/ Not to attack his credentials, but I think the website picked him to comment o

It doesn't even have to be a cursor, you can technically page off of any field you can index (i've written a lot of sync APIs so there are gotchas, but the point stands). Limit/offset is usually (though not always, as you poi

I don't disagree, but everyone would prefer to have an API that worked over one that doesn't, or one that causes service outages due to database latency. (did anyone ask the users if they wanted the api to work?) If you're de

I consider offset-based paged pagination to be a mark of the novice.

Canada has subsidized networks for rural users. We've, as a population, invested a lot of money in connection remote communities. And next generation internet is going to be powered by 5G, which will make it a lot cheaper to connect re

ISOs worked out well for me. It wasn't a huge windfall, but the preferential tax treatment is actually quite nice. Really the best strategy is ISOs that convert to NSOs with 10y exercise windows when you leave. best of both worlds.

It depends on the stage of the startup, but the books should probably be open to people who have made it to the offer stage until at least series b. if they're not, I'd be worried about the financials, the culture, or both. Refusi

the fact that you stopped to ask those questions makes me think that you're at minimum, an above average developer. caring about the business and its fundamentals is important beyond just slinging code.

I'm not sure why you felt the need to explain to someone who was genuinely curious as to how something might fail, that they shouldn't ask questions.

Are you saying that Canada's housing crisis are caused by these individuals?

This is factually incorrect. NAFTA workers--TN visas--are not part of the the TFW program, which is something entirely different and requires market assessment impacts. https://www.canada.ca/en/employment-social-develop

In what world are "temporary" foreign workers buying homes in Canada? With what salary? Same with Refugees, students. Funny how in the first hundred years in Canada, we didn't have any issue with housing costs, despite accept

Why not both? The JWST contains entirely different class of equipment, none of the likes has been included before. It also includes some of the largest equipment, huge mirrors that are capable of capturing huge quantities of light. Because

If you waste your only evaluation period on a question obviously regurgitating an answer, interviewers notice and can't evaluate you fairly. If they just want to watch you program, they might still ask you to go ahead, at least you&#x2

Thanks for the reflectless example. It's useful to see how you might get into this situation without reflection.

The sibling comment did a great job of distilling down a reflect-free case of how you might get yourself into this situation. In part, the reason I modeled it the way I did was because it was the way I discovered what was going on, but also

this is literally the problem with any specification then, because there is nothing stopping anyone from not following the specification for a particular port and just doing whatever the fuck they want. I could hook a lightning cable up to

look at most threads when people ask about quirky aspects of go, such as: a) why are there such short variable names, such that you see calls like b.c.d.Method() all of the time? b) why is there no Set type? c) why is date/time encodin

stadiums aren't public property generally, and not sure why they'd be considered "public works" like a road or a water system would be.

The problem is, unless if you're paying candidates, I think you're selecting for a group of desperate people. Which is to say, I don't think that your process respects candidate's time. You talk about give and take, but

If you sent me a 90m(!) takehome non-coding test I would absolutely nope out of that process. You're not respecting your applicants time. At all. Your funnel is steep because it has bullshit steps. And the only people coming through it
