What industry were you working in when at the Series B and Series C/D companies? Do you feel like your salaries at those companies represent the going-rate your colleagues also received?

by bronxbomber92 8y ago
Agreed. I'm in a similar situation (working in tech in the bay area and supporting my mom by covering her financial needs). I have two colleagues also in similar situations. It makes me wonder how many others in my peer group are faced

Thanks for putting this site together! Two pieces of feedback: 1. It would be valuable to ask for years at company and years in industry along with the reported compensation. 2. When reporting my compensation, how should I account for addit

If you describe yourself as being in IT, I suspect that means your job description is very different from that of the author’s. Comparing salaries across different types of job doesn’t make much sense.

Vulkan, as a Khronos open standard, likely wouldn't exist if Apple didn't make Metal. Khronos was content for OpenGL{ES} to sputter ad infinitum until it realized that its largest platform (iOS/macOS) was moving on. It helped

Looks like he's just a talented under-grad student with some OpenGL side project experience.

Did you hit any pain points using Metal?

Can anyone recommend analysis textbooks suitable for self study?

by bronxbomber92 9y ago
Not really. The HW design trade-offs would be very different, leading to hardware optimized for different purposes.

by bronxbomber92 9y ago
In reality, for most developers, it is a non-issue to bringup a new graphics API backend. See, for example, Arseny Kapoulkine's experience porting to Metal: http://zeuxcg.org/2016/12/01/metal-retrospecti

Heh, not the best example to make your point [in this context] because the presenter also manages a group that writes/maintains the companies web tools, which consists of 340,000 lines of Javascript and 500,000 lines of C++ server-side

But as someone who has industry experience, what are the advantages of applying for the residency program over a normal perm position within Google Brain? The Residency program allows you to focus more on research than engineering I suppose

Looks like a very a nice course! The notes are protected by a Swarthmore login page, but the videos are not; are the notes meant to be inaccessible?

Yes, executable size is still a modern day problem. Imagine you're shipping an OS; do you want the hundreds of thousands of executables in your system to all be a few percentage larger when you're trying to ship to a customer who

What do you mean by "implementing Direct3D"? Vulkan and OpenGL expose very similar programming models at roughly the same abstraction level. If your question is "why use D3D [or insert other proprietary API] over platform-agn

Since writing the paper is expected to take no more than an hour, given the software is already written, I wonder if they're worried about receiving a flood of submissions. Perhaps it's less of a problem since reviewing a paper sh

I'm confused -- the video themselves don't contain recordings of the slides (they're focused on the presenter), but they've been synced to the slides and the audio is perfectly fine. Watching them on the website is a per

I should clarify that I don't know why an update hasn't been pushed. I was only speculating why it might be taking so long.

Xcode is distributed and released over the AppStore and can be rev-ed at any frequency, independently of the OS; Apple's update model not does prevent an expedient update. Perhaps the main cause for delay is the associated QA efforts t

It is valuable to cite examples because it will help others determine if they have the same organizational disagreements and cultural assumptions that would make the book burdensome to read. On the other hand, if we find the cited examples

Or if you know some basic performance characteristics of your machine (i.e. memory bandwidth + processor speed + number of cores) and roughly how much work you need to do (i.e. number cycles to do X), some back of the envelope calculations
