This meaning of "fundamentally financial" sounds to me like designing incentive structures. If so, yes, blockchains are all "fundamentally financial". You need incentives for folks to keep the lights on. But aren't

Yeah unfortunately right now that is the case; you pay for Ethereum to onboard and participate, and most early adopters are people buying their way in. It doesn't have to be this way though. I don't think "blockchain's o

Makes total sense now that you say it :) In maybe the far future, when a larger proportion of the population holds digital assets, I see a potential functional value in having this type of note - it's harder to digitally fake these not

Love it! Like Couchsurfing back in the 2010's where you offer to meet up. It all depends on the community. I'd love to meet more HackerNews folks in person, for example.

This is awesome! We did this in-house back in 2014, and it quickly became an unmaintainable mess. With dbt and Snowflake poised to take over this space, I can see this fitting right in on top of these tools. One idea would be to build in db

(1) Problems are interesting for builders (2) Industry still feels nascent; mission of self-service still hasn't yet been proven (3) Your users are other software engineers, analysts, and data scientists. So opinionated power-users. Ha

Extra bureaucracy do bring value but not for the operators. Rather, they benefit the learning of the organization at the cost of overhead to every operator. Pros: helps team uncover and jump over costly roadblocks Cons: overhead There’s pro

Risk of being stereotyped as "lazy" by people who've invested in your company or use your product. The internal benefits are honestly great, but as soon as folks external hear about this (and they will), they may have a diffe

Totally agree with the premise, but to be specific: you don't learn about navigation. This does mean you have headspace to perhaps enjoy the scenery, or learn about other subjects via audiobook. IMO it winds up being a trade-off instea

The article makes you click on another article for the answer of "well, what Python docker build should you use?" If you're not satisfied with Alpine and need slim builds, answer is python3.8:slim-buster (from other article).

^ yes, penalties in the solver. Above post is correct. IRL they just get rolled and we treat it as a new problem with a different set of schedules.

Specialized is necessary due to business requirements. User requests aren't always "here's a problem + the data, solve this to optimal". Here are other examples: 1. "here's the problem + data, solve it well eno

Thanks for creating this nezaj! Would you happen to have a similar guide set up for EM's and upwards? I feel it would be valuable and insightful given that there aren't as many guides for EM job searches (yet).

Background: We have a team of 6 DS working on parallel projects. We tried the Java service approach. It's great for a one-time model, but very painful to iterate on. We develop on top of Sagemaker, and since we're a funded company

Coding interviews is a performance-based art, so treat it as such. The best way to prepare for an on-stage performance? 1 Memorize your lines until you can't forget, 2 practice with fellow actors, and then 3 practice with real intervie

Answers here revolving around life are reasonable, but a bit deflating. How about getting a bit of historical context? If you're a geometer in the era of Euclid, and you're grinding, it's not going to feel motivating. But...y

Depends on how much the company's aiming to grow, and how many options they give. These companies have enough challenges and resources to make better offers than what you'd get at Google/Dropbox, if you believe in the growth

Agreed. I was the engineering lead on our company's integration a couple years back, and we wound up cutting ties and sticking with our own solution. The biggest pain points during the integration were: * Zuora is run on a legacy tech

You don't really need the lectures - I took the main version (cs140) with ousterhout. His notes are condensed and give you a good summary of the basics. They're also open to the public: https://web.stanford.edu/~ou

Thanks to the AirBNB engineering team for creating this. I'm sure you guys get this question all the time, but what are the biggest differences between this and Luigi / Pinball? And why might a data team migrate from Luigi to Airf
