Seems like if you're doing static masking and you mask enough data, this works just great. Am I missing something?

In both the article and Kurzweil's case, it just depends on how you want to set up the goal posts (which the article somewhat alludes to). If you want to measure flops and compare that way (which is similar to what you're suggesti

Somewhat related: for the Neon internal hackathon a few weeks ago I wrote a little Node.js server that turns Redis's wire protocol (RESP) into Postgres queries. Very fun hack project: https://github.com/btholt/redi

Jon, the creator of the site, worked at Twitter when he made this. I imagine a lot of the people to fill this out are friends and colleagues of his.

It's a normal PM position and you'd be in the normal PM salary bands. You'd be my peer. I manage the server-side SDKs, the CLI, the VS Code extension, the React Native SDK, the API upgrade experience, etc. We'd be in the

We get to use Markdoc every day and it is a joy to work with. Shameless plug: we're looking for someone to come in and a product manager over the Stripe Docs. Imagine working on docs at the company known for docs. Very fun problems. h

Nope, I don't know of anyone working on Perl stuff in DevDiv but it's a big division.

Well, the TypeScript and .NET organizations live within the Developer Division, and now we have Guido so there's Python. We also have fairly substantial dev tooling teams for C++ and Java so I imagine some of the contributors are there

Malcom Gladwell addresses why proactive policing doesn't work at length in his book "Talking to Strangers". He refers to it as Kansas City style policing. Highly recommended.

Hey friends! This is Brian Holt, the author of course. Finding this on the front page of HN is an unexpected delight. Just wanted to let you all know that the accompanying videos for this are free too[1] (you just have to create an account.

Using this logic, dollars are creating value by wasting paper and metal. What you're ignoring is the value of having a publicly auditable ledger of transactions and a decentralized currency. That _isn't_ a waste of electricity. Th

You can also run into an issue like Zynga: they bought an office for a lot of money, had a downturn, and then were in the precarious position of having their office worth more than them. https://medium.com/halting-problem&#x

San Francisco is only marginally better, and yeah, everyone gets their dog registered as an ESA.

Huh, that is interesting. Another example of that from Italian is that word for cranberry and blueberry are the same word. I had never thought of them being particularly similar but many Italians I asked said they're so similar that th

As being bilingual in Italian and English, this seems … contrived to me. I don't believe I perceive time any differently when I speak one language or the other: I simply learned the idiomatic way to say it in that language. Same thing

This sounds like one of those developer estimates that takes 10x longer than stated.

Okay, fair. I'm from Salt Lake City where the coffee is decidedly not as good. What I meant to say it's as good to me as Philz.

I like it better than Via, personally. I used to use Via before I drank Sudden.

I've been a subscriber for Sudden Coffee since Christmas and I love it. The coffee is definitely as good the corner cafe here in San Francisco. I love it because it takes me 1/10 the time to make a great cup of coffee in the morni

- Falcor is not a language or a standard as much as Relay isn't. JSON Graph is way of writing JSON. That's really it. - Do you want a spec doc of how to write JSON Graph. It's discussed more-or-less exhaustively here: http:&

Firefox Nightly has container tabs available right now and they are fantastic! Only thing missing is a shortcut / better way to open a different type of container tab.

The answer to your question is yes, that's the way it worked, but I didn't do it intentionally. My next company just happened to call right around then.

I was apart of the reddit exodus when they closed the Salt Lake City and New York City offices (I was in SLC.) It only took me 90 days which was the minimum requirement to not have to pay your moving expenses back. Since then, which happene

If you listen, you can hear the sound San Francisco rental managers rejoicing they can advertise they have Google Fiber.
