Not only lose an employee, but lose future employees as well. I'll never work for Amazon because of this crap, and I know I'm worth well more than $300k/year to them.

The analogy of a house is entirely incorrect - a house is a one time transaction. Giving an employee space and support during this time likely leads to loyalty and better production in the long run. It also prevents articles like this, whic

And time. Say we even put $1T into replacing TSMC's capabilities stateside, it would take years, potentially decades, to get the people, knowledge, processes and technology.

Exactly. I objectively hate it, but I would eat that square pizza with square pepperoni bits again without a second thought if offered.

I had a similar realization with food recently, bear with me. You ever hear how in certain cultures, Mom's food is the best? Now, of course there's nostalgia involved. A hint of home can make your taste buds sing just a bit louder

I'll be honest: I do think frying pan popcorn legitimately tastes better. That said, it can't be argued it's far easier to use the machine.

This worked wonderfully for me when prepping for interviews the last time I searched for a job. I just committed to 3 months of doing the Leetcode monthly challenge at a minimum. Some days I did more, yes, but only when I felt like it. By t

Honestly, given the headlines of the past few weeks this is a fair joke, but in my experience they do not fire people for outages like this. Anything that can take down retail or AWS at large is considered a design problem, not a human erro

It’s a bit of an open secret among big tech that Apple is a huge user of storage on all major clouds. They manage encryption on their hardware and in return get cheap storage, higher availability and competition from their suppliers. Highly

I wonder how effective AI will be at enabling us to navigate chemical space for certain desired compounds. Knowing nothing about the problem, is it something akin to the protein folding challenge that AlphaFold[0] recently did well at? Side

That, plus keyboard shortcuts for everything means developers will love it as well. This really feels slick.

Not OP, but there's a difference between having a legitimate and interesting discussion involving unpopular opinions and simply mouthing off at a bar. However, the reaction on the internet today tends to be one and the same for both ca

I don’t think GP is criticizing the pedagogy, but instead memeing.

Might be a good idea to clarify what you mean by example in this comment. Had to click into the video to realize you meant basically an example of him NOT being a food snob.

That's also my impression as someone who used to write a lot of JS - everything is either a value, dict or array, and once you learn some guardrails on how you write JS code (in your words, 'explain how certain operations interact

You make an interesting point I have not considered before. I think it analogous to the argument that even electric cars have emissions, as almost all of them are charged on grids that are dirty. I personally think in both cases (vegetarian

They can eat animal-like products though, such as Impossible burgers or nut cheese.

You’re attempting to redefine ‘pure’ veganism as consuming no animal nor animal-like products whatsoever. I can see where a word for that might exist, but what is commonly considered ‘vegan’ is not your definition.

Not sure if facetious, but this appears generally true on the face of it. They had a $21B surplus last year, and COVID has decimated state tax incomes across the board. Post-COVID, it should be expected that they'll be just fine. I agr
