Pretty bad title for a blog post that talks about misleading powerpoint presentations. Some readers might make conclusions from the title alone, instead of reading the whole text below.

If I'm reading this right, it's not actually saying anything about tech hires. Given the outrageous compensation, this is probably for management roles?

It is however very rare that absolute differences matter; and even when they do, the scale should (often) be fixed. For example the temperatures: [A: 27.0, B: 29.0, C: 28.0] versus: [A: 27.0, B: 27.2, C: 26.9] If scale is fit to the min and

That's a really interesting part, and probably why the OCR works good enough for such case. Not sure about legal implications of using it though: https://www.technologyreview.com/2020/09/23/1008729/o

Not only that, but for some deployments it is actually preferable to limit the amount of money you can pay. In other words, better for the service to be down than for the company or person to be bankrupt. Last I checked, that simply wasn&#x

My anecdata (at multiple companies) supports their opinion. What matters is that there is a clear owner who is the voice of final decision. In most cases there is no objectively better way to do something, so having a person who is a tie-br

This! I would say that if there is no simple way to find commercial content (for the location of the potential customer!), the law should treat the case as if the copyright owner waived their right to the copyrighted material.

I agree that the way modern JS (need to?) download half the Internet for a semi-useful app is annoying, wasteful and dangerous. However, I still remember the hell that was updating the state and keeping the rendering in sync with it when us

This. Also, I try to: - use only those regex features that are cross-platform (cross-engine?) - avoid `\w` and similar (what is word?) and instead use explicit rules (`[a-zA-Z]+`) - use [] instead of backslashes when escaping (`[(]` instead

...and Hetzner just started offering their services in the US a few days ago. (EDIT: not affiliated) If you do something stupid with your code at least you won't go bankrupt, only your service will be slower.

The same way as you write a comment in a LTR human language in the middle of RTL code - you don't. You stick to either LTR or RTL. This is code, not prose.

I would argue that even if you decide that you are using some other language and not English, there is only a well-defined subset of Unicode characters that should ever be allowed in the codebase. Bidi override control characters are clearl

It might be easier than ever, but it is far easier on Linux. It shows that people developing terminal(s) on Windows are probably not Linux users - it is little things like secondary clipboard and terminals hanging that make one want to scre

True. But these actively supported, paid products build upon layers and layers of no-longer-supported, free/opensource products. Good luck fixing them. Not saying that this is OK, just explaining why using non-ascii characters, in this

I went through multiple resources on the net until it clicked for me. I guess each book / video / blog post gives you the bits you are ready for, and when enough of these bits accumulate you understand it. Looking back, neural net

Great work Mozilla! I can't remember the last time Firefox crashed for me (Linux). I am using the upstream version though, as I prefer security fixes in my browser to be applied as soon as possible.

Or just copying a command with a hidden `<span>` in the middle, then pasting it into a terminal which allows multiline pastes (which most terminals do).

Well, newsflash: you are always dealing with abstractions, no matter which layer you pick. You might just as well pick one that lets you develop more complex things faster and more reliably. That said, if you are set on actively fighting it
