I don't see the problem in sampling only professional women when the hypothesis is whether professional women are rated differently than professional men. It would be problematic if this hypothesis was tested with a sample from the ove

Not sure if this is off-topic but my concern is related to technical interviews. How do software engineers/devs/etc "stay in shape" for technical interviews? Let's say I wanna switch jobs and the first hurdle to cro

This is a paper published in 2012. Deep learning wasn't mainstream at the time of writing it (probably 2011-2012).

That's quite enlightening. My comment was due to my industry-related naiveté. I thought a principal PM has the final say on both the features and the business side of a product. I didn't realize VPs add additional filters.

This app has a UI flaw. My friend was testing how cash request works. Her request arrived when I was already inside the app (just exploring it). And without giving me even a warning it started the process of verifying my SSN and all that. W

This comes out at a time when I've finally decided to start digging into ElasticSearch. Since it's a side project, I don't have to worry about scaling and management issues. So just from the standpoint of functionalities, is

In my opinion, techies make as much of a big deal of outfits as do the finance/business guys. They just do it by shouting about how much they are against dress codes.

Getting one degree in engineering increases the likelihood that the person will be higher than average in her software engineering skills. When you have 1000s of applicants and your approach to everything is fairly conservative compared to

This might a stupid question but is this competing with Neo4j or Giraph? I didn't see a mention of comparison with either in the docs. I believe graph data storage and graph processing are two different things - is TItan doing both?

As far as I am concerned (and I suspect it applies to many others), giving up my privacy to a machine that generates customized ads (or even risking losing it to third parties for more ads without my consent) is a much smaller price to pay

So then do you see any advantage of Guacamole over those two other than the open/closed-source part?

I think this downvoting thing is out of control. What was even remotely offensive about this correction?

But I have seen many recruiters/companies treat a 5-6 year PhD as the equivalent of 1-2 years of industry experience.

by blutoot 12y ago
But a lot of people finish their PhD in their early 30s and becoming a code monkey is one of the foot-in-the-door ways to get into the tech industry.

But if it can be done easily in a high-level language, then the control plane can be integrated better with a lot of applications written in the same language, no? I was thinking if that can serve as an impetus for SDN adoption.

I'm thinking of the implication of something awesome like this. Hopefully in the long-run it will boost the likes of light LTE-enabled Chromebooks, at least for tech professionals. That of course requires high-speed LTE infrastructure

Your "userland TCP/IP" comment got me excited and I started digging around. I wonder if there's some benefit in trying to port something like TCP Daytona [1,2] in a high-level language like Python. I'm curious if th

Do they usually pursue side projects that help them get better at their troubleshooting/automation skills or do they tend to keep them complementary to avoid burn-out?

by blutoot 12y ago
How do you control the quality of that automation code? Doesn't that add an overhead to your operations?

by blutoot 12y ago
Thanks for that perspective. Do they ever find time to do side-projects? It sounds like these people work 24/7.

I believe the point being made here is that it is easy to not be in it for the money when you have already made enough money and have achieved enough security and stability. And I personally don't think there's anything wrong with

Isn't NAT anti-economics? Sure, it helps reuse a limited set of IP addresses, but it also introduces unnecessary layers which doesn't seem cost-effective beyond a certain scale.

I feel like the authors (or someone else) can do a lot more justice to their overall objective (i.e. tease out patterns) by applying some kind of a qualitative content analysis of case studies [0]. [0] http://www.qualitative-rese
