Word! I know a lot of places paying a lot less than that lol. Shoot, when I graduated from college a few years ago I knew people taking up jobs at $70k/year. In programming. XD In California, in the Bay Area even! I dunno where people

lmao yeah I think I know exactly how you feel. Right now I sit mostly around people I really enjoy hanging out and working with, so it's fantastic. A year ago I was sitting in a super crowded area while construction was going on and it

I'm not a fan of sharing a giant auditorium with the entire company. I am a fan of having a large room with a group of 5-7 people sharing it. That said, noisy open rooms suck.

sometimes it's purely political. The "I as a high rank manager get along just fine with X and Y, why can't everyone else?" mindset lol.

Sounds like someone that at least knows how to use a terminal and maybe some linux commandline tools like gdb. I think the person we're replying to is looking for someone that wrote a few popular VIM/sublime plugins and uses an er

It works for me, with one annoying caveat. I have a set of regular 1920x1080 monitors on my desk at 100% scaling. My laptop has a 4k screen, and when I plug it in, I have it set to turn off that screen. I have to log out when I plug/un

That electrical system sounds like a fire hazard. I'd hate to see what some of the other apartments look like!

On the plus side: It's "built to print", we've already done all of the R&D work so it's just a matter of remanufacturing all of the hardware. The software's already tested and ready to go (an will get furth

I'm more sensitive to the really high pitched eeeeeeee that comes from CRTs and their flyback transformers.

It's a school, and people are there to learn. Knowing how to maintain a computer is a pretty darn useful life skill.

A decent size room with ~5 people, a little extra room, natural light with a nice view, and some nice accent lighting for when natural light isn't enough. Where I work now: Open office with some natural light (skylights) but no windows

But it's not out of sight! Perhaps you don't realize how obvious it is! If you're in an SUV, you can easily see the phones on people's laps. If you're in a car, you can still tell because people don't normally

HR: We hire the best of the best! Are you a passionate code ninja that lives and breathes code?! Show us your github and bitbucket profiles and enter the Craigslist Hackathon today! We promise we'll consider you.. and then go whine on

The silly thing is they could combine the fly-by-wire system with the boeing-style control system if they wanted to. There's no reason why not, other than the space in the cockpit I suppose. It's basically just a much bigger joyst

The Pasadena job listings look like they're all for PHDs.. hrmm.. is that because of CalTech? Or all those JPL PHDs driving by heheheh.

I like your choices for ground system software! If I ever get interested in moving to Seattle I might have to send my resume to you guys!

I like splitting the day up on a couple of venues. Like, a few hours at home, followed by some time in the office, and maybe a coffe shop? That makes the day go super fast!

In regards to the smoke detectors, I love that your department does that! I think what finally drove me to realize how important working smoke detectors are, is that video of a modern room flashing over in like 3 minutes. For those who have

iirc, confluent has their own version of kafka/camus that uses a schema registry where the first few bytes of the kafka messages identify the schema. The wikimedia article sounds like they're just using regular camus and their own

No. I think the ideal use case here is you use JSON over Kafka, and store the data in Avro files. The avro files have the schema at the start. I wonder what they're using to retrieve that data for analysis later on. I do something very

"Wow!" products usually don't happen overnight though. Take the iPhone for example! Apple was playing around with ideas for tablets, handhelds, PDAs, and other stuff for decades before they launched that. A lot of "what

This doesn't work in my office. The lights go off at 9pm and the few rare times I've been there myself, the hard workers, self starters, and "getting the job done" people that were still there, kept on working. In the da

Suddenly I understand why a lot of cities with those cutesey redone downtowns have central parking in mutual places, like the median in the middle of the street. The city fronts it, to keep businesses from doing annoying crap like that.

That sounds pretty bad. If you make everything illegal then only selectively enforce the laws...

Why hello there! Are you guys looking to hire programmers with a few years of experience? Or are you looking to hire Tesla's lead programmers. The difference is important, because I've done things from both "server side"

Ouch. I feel lucky to have enough autonomy I can blow a few hours out of a week "just trying something out" without being grilled why I wasted a few hours over it. If I were being grilled I'd consider a new job.
