As an external observer of American news, I don’t find it surprising when race is increasingly stressed, occasionally in not directly relevant context. E.g. there was a cnn headline recently along the lines of “Black and Latino man got in t

How anyone would see that as a MVP when you can make a pretty solid API with Postgrest eludes me.

Most of the links for potential employers are not working (a couple do but e.g. ask for login just to filter). Is there anything better or more current?

As someone who was contracting we always had notice periods in contracts. Let’s not forget it works both ways and contractors are more often than not the first to go.

I associate co-things with things that happen in parallel (e.g. collaboration) and it feels like that's closer to the intended meaning based on a cursory read of the abstract (i.e. it looks like the focus is on iterating on two data st

It does not work very well for new grads. In grads case I question the purpose of interviewing at large. They studied, completed one goal, all we have to do is give them the tools to understand their next steps. With grads I focus more on t

My one interview question (I have a series of related but only go down them selectively) is “tell me the one thing you’ve done that made you the proudest of what you have achieved or the happiest with what you were doing, don’t worry whethe

Maybe it’s dying because it already succeeded in its goals. That’s a good thing. From my myopic perspective, RMS is FSF. And he has changed the discussion around software forever. Now we need another kind of freedom, we feel it but cannot a

It’s a repeat of search & hope/trust (Google) vs define and query (semantic web) and yes they are winning and will win. Fine tuning your scope for extreme accuracy might be less efficient a strategy than fine tuning your loader fo

If this is the commitment offered by employees is there an equivalent offered by the employer? I.e. how does that affect lay off decisions? If the assumption is that employee passion will keep the ship afloat, then how is that reflected on

OODA looks interesting, thank you for link. I personally follow a similar model, which I am sure someone would have articulated better than I do already. Anticipate - Perceive - Act - Understand. The first two are in relation to your presen

If I don’t know what frozz is, is the set well defined? Maybe in form, but not in essences. Lisper’s example in sibling comment is indeed well formed, but I know that if I get a counter-example to the conjecture it will pass the population

Is the membership function not equivalent to what I describe above on the query side? My difference is that I am making explicit that the set needs to be populated. The uttering of a set of “indescribable “ objects does not a set give you.

As I mature in this industry I find it hard to agree, even though I draw my experience from organisations outside the FAANG if it’s still a thing. Dead weight, is in my experience no more than 2%, where I qualify dead weight as someone who

Intuitively I would argue the definition of indescribability is loaded with semantics that can sprinkle paradoxes at will. A set from my perspective has at least two interfaces, one to populate it and one to query it. By making the populati

If you have a contract to sell parts then your incentive to give higher salary would also be greater, given contracts would have penalties for failure to deliver. The companies are apparently in equilibrium with this situation, so either sh

What's the point of using kinesis in this case? Why can you not consume from postgres. My understanding would be that you use kinesis for impedance matching on writes. If you can already write everything on Postgres reliably I cannot s

If you only take issue with the PR commentary it is very telling for the validity of the rest of the argument.

To be fair to the original poster, in Australia, whether you tell every new hire or not, they are still on probation legally in terms of employer obligations, so it is good to tell if you want to establish clarity, and follow appropriate pr

I am seeing interns joining at 90k+ atm and you can extrapolate but on a <45deg angle from there. I even know a junior (<2yr experience) at 140k, not any kind of superstar but lucky I guess. Are you talking Aussie market? Maybe for en

I’ll side with you. I lead a big team, but also an employee myself, I find probation period a very uncomfortable concept. There is no promises in interviews. You ask your questions, you get your answers, you make your decisions. If your que

I guess you comment as an exec but this comment does not help make the case. Without being an engineer myself, I would be very frustrated with the last paragraph. It uses a statistically true fact to make a meaningless argument (how is opti

Maybe they were right? On a serious note, though, and I am diagnosed if it adds any value to my response; anecdotally, I tend to hold strong opinions only upon strict testing (usually internalised argumentation) and, therefore in such cases

Why is it not the first elevator in my direction? I’ll need to walk the same distance if it ends up being the third. If it is the first I saved walking to the median and back.

I don’t believe schizophrenic thinking is random either. Unproductive maybe, but schizophrenic creative minds are not uncommon either, so cannot really define one against the other. In the process of being offended sometimes we indicate our
