Of course other times are doable, it's just a matter of how much blowback the school board is willing to take from parents.

The median 401k balance is downright scary. For ages 55-64, it's only $84k. Percentage participating in these plans doesn't mean much if they don't have much in it. https://www.personalcapital.com/blog/re

The problem is that "industry wide" doesn't mean much if you know your company is doing well. It's jarring seeing "record profits" and "layoffs" mentioned within a few weeks/months of each other.

When you know for an absolute fact that you hold ownership and are held accountable for a codebase, assuming you're competent, things like tech debt and bugs suddenly become much more important and consequential to you.

Sounds more like it's just easier to use favoritism that's not based on job performance when doing layoffs if you are face-to-face with these folks on a regular basis.

Working the line at McDonald's is fundamentally harder with respect to being a grind but that doesn't seem to reflect strongly on their pay. The reality is that you don't need to pay $300k/yr for a manager who is also a

Are we talking standard layoff of 1-2 weeks of salary pay per year worked at a company or are we talking about the insane packages only FAANGs give? Because that goes without saying.

That was before even Nixon's famous visit when we still had zero diplomatic relations with China, and those drones were completely replaced by satellites, which both the US and China use on each other to this day. Your 50 year old exam

For the animations, they could probably write it with traditional artificial intelligence. It's as simple as having events that trigger based on whos talking, such as sit on couch, walk over to kitchen, wave hands while talking, etc.

That's been my case too. I don't receive an answer to my question, just someone telling me I shouldn't do it that way. I then explain why I have to do it this way and of course crickets from them because they never had anythi

Theres no indication that it's doing fine. In fact, Twitter has lost half of its top 100 advertisers recently (which is where most of its revenue is). Unfortunately Twitter is not a public company so we have no idea how much of it is b

Classical ML is still the dominant form of ML, and is preferred for most forms of tabular data (think spreadsheets). It's just far faster and often more effective than deep learning. Deep learning's greatest strength is that it ca

That's a specific type of mutex. Mutexes and single count Semaphores can absolutely be the same thing depending on the implementation. Similar to how some mutexes can be re-entrant but not always.
