NamedTuple is purely a data container. It does not have class functions or a constructor you can use for anything other than setting the data members.

"I've seen it myself" - So you've sat on FAANG hiring panels that made decisions specifically based on candidates' underrepresented demographics? Or you're just inferring based on people you met while employed

That’s true, the cost needs to be factored into the model. But the near infinite bandwidth scalability allows the service to exist to begin with. If every job saturates your up and down bandwidth and takes 10 minutes, and you have 100 comin

Right, but without the lambda infrastructure it would be infeasible from infrastructure and cost perspective to spin up, let’s say 10,000 instances, complete a 10 minute job on each of them, and then turn them off to save money, on a regula

I worked on a service a year ago that would stream a video from a source and upload it to a video hosting service. A few concurrent transfers would saturate the NIC. Putting each transfer job in a separate lambda allowed running any number

Airsim also has poor facilities for stepped simulation needed for many RL algorithms (e.g. insert control, advance simulator by 30ms, observe state, repeat). It looks like this is still being worked on: https://github.com/mi

Right? Roborock S5 is a solid device. And most devices (Walmart and Target and everywhere else) are also manufactured in China.

Some of the more esoteric Leetcode medium/hard questions are ridiculous to ask someone who hasn't been specifically preparing for them, I agree, but I think it's fair to ask Leetcode easy's where the algorithm itself is

You are giving OP benefit of the doubt, certainly the people responding riffing on this "joke" are not viewing the remark with much nuance Disgusting

I don't have enough points to downvote you... this is why people hate techies, you view the displaced as a separate species altogether, they are just like you and your family, likely without the same upbringing and privileges Edit: Tha

Maybe I can rephrase. Is OP's base 1.5x that of the average (8 hr/day) worker base at comparable companies?

At most startups (with illiquid equity), TC adjusted for cost of living (assuming Bay Area) is probably not far from median American household. Employers take advantage of youthful zeal which prevents ICs from understanding their true worth

What’s with the dichotomy here? Why can’t your cat live for the most part inside and you let it outside for a few hours a week on a leash so it can get some fresh air while not killing local wildlife?

Having written plenty of makefiles and cmakelists I would much rather write the latter for a CPP project. The idioms are easier to remember so I don’t have to search through SO to do little things. Let’s say I want to include a version of O
