I know Audrey personally from the FOSS community. I had dinner with her in Taiwan a couple years ago and we talked about her new job a bit.

Rust's type system + the failure crate ( https://crates.io/crates/failure ) is the nicest I've seen. It's similar to Haskell in that errors are part of the return value of a function, and the type system e

At my current position, part of our hiring process is a "homework" piece where we give you a project that should take around 3 hours and review the result. Surprisingly (to me), I was able to get permission to share feedback with

They're forking a new process for each request. Passing the request data to that process on stdin when you create it is much simpler than spawning a process, waiting for it to be ready, and then communicating with it via http.

There was a Taiwanese-owned restaurant here in Minneapolis for many years called Evergreen, which is a _very_ Taiwanese name, just translated into English.

This is an article about the work of Danielle Bunten Berry (nee Dan Bunten) who created several of the most influential games of the 8-bit era, including Seven Cities of Gold and M.U.L.E. I remember playing both of those on my Commodore 64

They made $10.5M in revenue _total_, not per employee. It's quite possible they are still not profitable, in which case $20k per employee would be a lot.

This is basically a summary of why I _don't_ want to move to Silicon Valley. Sure, I could make more money, but I'd play most of it into housing and I'd probably end up with a long commute and a boring place to live.

"into the family" ... what? Did you mean to say "family business"? If so, please post more details, that sounds interesting.

Okay, if it really bothers you that much, omit the "sorry" and say the rest of the sentence. Sheesh.

I get what you're saying, but if someone says "the way you phrased that really bothers me because it sounds like a rape joke", I think the best response is to say "sorry, I didn't mean it that way, let's find a

They were close. "Hit me up" would be close enough to "call me" to work the way the way it was intended, but "hit me" definitely does not.

Except Tasty Bite tastes terrible. There's another competitor making the same thing (sealed cooked food, no water needed) Maya Kaimal that is _much_ better. It actually tastes good.

Fun fact. The author of this was also one of the primary developers and architects behind Perl 6 for many years. He's a really great guy.

The toy store in Home Alone 2 was based on FAO Schwarz. I remember going to it as a kid a few times. It was very cool and a big NYC attraction for families. But I don't remember if we ever bought anything there.

Please note that I'm taking this position (or any other) myself. I'm merely trying to clarify what I think Damore's memo said. While I think it's entirely fair to say he's wrong, I think it's deeply unfair to

I would summarize those two quotes as saying something more like "women may be biologically less inclined to want a job in tech and therefore expecting a 50% representation of women is unrealistic". My reading of the memo, way bac

It's more than just annoying. Schools typically offer opportunities for funding to official clubs. I'm guessing this club needs to pay for things like rental fees for equipment, equipment purchases, etc. Now students who want to e
