The solution is to not perpetuate this web3 thing. What problems does web3 attempt solve anyways? The internet is mostly decentralized already. Maybe the apps and services are localized walled gardens, but you can already vote not to partic

The author of the article is CEO of NanosVM, who makes Nanos unikernel and tooling. It looks pretty interesting with Go, php, and nodejs support. I tried dabbling in MirageOS in the past, and actually love OCaml as a language, but the local

Sure, but this project isn’t really hand held and mobile and reloadable in a small amount of time. It took some smart enough person to operate as well. Some nuance and differentiation still appropriate; this is as close to an air rifle as v

There’s a huge spectrum of “training”. At least you know you have an expected tech stack. Go learn it and ask questions if things are confusing. Don’t wait to get “trained”.

You can get fixed formatting by newline + indenting 2 spaces, similar to non-GitHub markdown # Like this y = mx + b The “help” link could be added to more places while authoring, as it only shows up on the “edit” post screen atm.

Business news is fine; as pg once wrote, “ But when you do something so clever that you somehow beat the system, that's also called a hack.” Hacking doesn’t have to be breaking computer stuff, it can also be finding loopholes in busine

I wouldn't say this is unique to Andrew Yang and his campaign. I had a ex-coworker travel from California to Texas to work on Beto's campaign in 2018 and when she came back, she had the same stories of minimum wage/volunteer

You think that’s funny, but from experience, I’d tell you this happens more often than you think. A company I was with, that was a startup and then IPO’d, our pipeline involved an open office spreadsheet “deployed” (copy) onto the server, w

It’s possible to structure the question to fit 30-45min. It’ll be pretty clear what level and experience a person has in doing api’s. If the json response is already laid out, parsing json can be an independent task from the network call.

Agree that 99% of the leetcode interviews are divorced from everyday coding work. However, this article goes in the wrong direction in trying to keep the LinkedList premise - how often do programmers see a raw linkedlist anyways? Directly a

I’d argue the other way - open source in 2000s to central libraries were of decent quality. The quantity of code now these days is so much and of questionable quality - everyone and their bootcamp writes code to GitHub and call it open sou

Agree - it’d have to be some contribution to a significant project. Those are radar and far in between. Usually it’s “I wrote some code and put it on GitHub, call it open source”.

Being on the hiring end, it’s less out of incompetence and more of not enough time, and open source code is low signal that the candidate can actually solve problems. If I submit some “open source” code as some proof that I can code, how do

Those are good questions without simple answers. I agree that grids should be built better, but they aren’t due to economics and catch-22s. Take the Texas power grid again as an example. It wasn’t winterized properly in Feb. 2021, freezing
