   Feels like there's similarity to CPU and GPU binning. Make a bunch of them with the same process then bin them based on the variability.

   The Bitter Lesson seems relevant here again. http://www.incompleteideas.net/IncIdeas/BitterLesson.html I think I read somewhere about Erdős having this somewhat brute force approach. Whenever fresh techniques were deve

   In google c++ there are two macros which I feel make it look a lot nicer. ASSIGN_AND_RETURN(auto var, status_or); And RETURN_IF_ERROR(status); Which are just more ergonomic with the drawback of being macros.

   Because it is in a Json? Internally it probably is protobuf with bytes. But the external API is Json and so it needs to be converted at some point. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/49358526/protobuf-messag...

   Internally, it would be a b64 protobuf in a protobuf field. The json part is an automatic conversion.

   I believe some Ancient Roman names are also like this: Male: Sextus, Septimus, Octavius, Nonus. Female: Prima, Secunda, Tertia, Quarta, Quinta, Sexta, Octavia, Nona, and Decima But on further investigation the males seem to actually be nam

   Pretty awesome. I was thinking about trying to create some kind of automatic toy for my cat that would avoid obstacles. Maybe this could be the base instead of the one I picked up https://www.aliexpress.com/item/100500

   This is going to sound like basic advice and probably what you already know but at the end I think it's just what needs to be done. More time spent practicing and interviewing is going to be the most effective thing you can possibly do

   Two notes. 1. Make sure you try it in your practice sessions first and not on interview day the first time. 2. For me I felt lightheaded and I think it had a negative impact on my interview. I think being a bit more on the amped side was po

    Vancouver is awesome for this. Toronto sucks for this :((. Also time is probably a better metric. You can sit in traffic for an hour to move less than 1km.

    Watching these as russian/english bilingual is very painful, tho I grew up in western world so maybe I'm just not used to it. To add on a slight tangent. Many books/audiobooks just don't exist in other languages at all.

    Yeah, you are correct I misinterpreted the article. But yeah I guess space complexity vs auxiliary space complexity is just a bit ambigous.

    by aleksiy123 2y ago

    The confusion is around space complexity vs auxiliary space complexity (extra space). space complexity is O(n) but auxiliary space complexity uses Theta for notation instead. But people aren't too picky on the notation and usually say

    People realized that slicing it that way wasn't nice to work with. The htmx guy has a small post on this. https://htmx.org/essays/locality-of-behaviour/

    I don't think they are mutually exclusive? Design doc is broader. It's goal is communication. Sometimes you need to communicate other than in code. Diagrams, images, words etc...

    I was kinda curious if Nazi and German WWII soldier is equivalent. From an academic point of view it seems not. But from a popular point of view it probably is. Some threads I found on the topic. https://www.reddit.com/r&#x2

    I feel like this metaphor could just as easily be about "cars" instead of "chainsaws". We do put cars in almost everyone's hands even though it has the same potential for dangers. Even more so since I would assume m

    I think you missed the part where you describe their current experience. If he was even considered for L6 staff, then his on resume credentials already justified him at L5 Senior or L6 Staff. The interview performance is what pushed him ove

    I feel like this has been repeated so much now that peoples takeaway is that you shouldn't adopt anything from large companies as a small company by default. And thats simply not true. The point here is to understand what are the probl

    I would add one suggestion/comment. Use a known set of standard error codes and not a unique error code/error type for each new situation. Error codes are there to hint to clients/callers what action they should potentially

    Gunplay in FPS games like CSGO and Valorant are all about angles. Almost all of the action happens in the split moments of contact, as players transition from not seeing each other to seeing each other. So in that sense, corners are pretty

    Does anyone have a nice combination of tooling for typed handlers + client generation. Thinking maybe Zod + Zod open API. Really looking to replicate similar spec first workflow similar to protobuf services. https://typespec.io
