Oh, good point. I misunderstood your previous question. Is there a name that refers to the broader group that includes both constants and variables? In practice, and in e.g. C++, "variable" is used to refer to both constants and a

You can make everything read-only by default, and if you need non-read-only, you use "mutable".

"const" means something can't be changed. "mutable" means it can be changed. You don't need both a "const" keyword and a "mutable" keyword in a programming language. You only need 1 of the k

Immutable and constant are the same. rendaw didn't use the word mutable. One reason someone might use the word "mutable" is that it's a succinct way of expressing an idea. Alternative ways of expressing the same idea are

The birthday paradox equation is approximately the square root. You expect to find a collision in 365 possibilities in ~sqrt(365) = ~19 tries. You expect to find a collision in 2^256 possibilities in ~sqrt(2^256) = ~2^128 tries. You expect

They only run the generators if the power company fails. To bring that analogy to servers, that would be running your loads in the cloud, but in the case of an outage, failing over to bare metal servers you run yourself. That sounds like th

Check out Google's diversity report[1], pages 63-110. It contains a lot of data. E.g. for US tech hiring, in 2015 2.2% of hires were Black+, in 2024, it was 10.0%. For global tech hiring, in 2015 19.6% of hires were women, in 2024, it

Is lead exposure going up or down? I assume it's going down, because lead gasoline was banned, lead paint was banned, and the lead that was in the environment due to those 2 source is slowly being cleaned up. I at least assume lead exp

Yes. I was responding to the sentence "With no directs, even “principal” would be a stretch in any company of note." which talked about direct reports.

There are plenty of Principal Engineers (L8) at Google who have no reports. In fact, I think the majority have no reports.
