I think it says a lot more about the individual interviewer than anything about the company. I've had great interviews with a company, and then I've had one where the person was looking for me to say 'base64" (which I wa

Yeah, it's not obvious what the person I linked's intent is. Resale? I'm pessimistic that the above mechanism would work but I'm glad that rust is thinking about it. fwiw I also don't think namespacing necessarily s

chip manufacturing is an imperfect process, and so there is variance in performance/viability of all of the hardware on a chip. the higher performing chips are "binned" for the top end of the price point, while the lower perf

(I work at AWS, this is a personal opinion :) ) IMO, I'd like to see a broad standardization on xDS/UDP to all services where direct dataplane integration would be beneficial. Why can't I direct Envoy to autoscaling so they c

sadly, confidential computing isn’t the answer to your desire. what they are iterating on here is the trust boundaries between your company and your infrastructure provider as well as your peers sharing the hardware.

Possibly, but its really however the market prices it. For example, if the theory goes that more people will want to buy apple now that the price is a "steal" (people think it's harder to 2x a big number than a small number)

unless I'm misunderstanding terribly, the issue is that an LRU cache is composed of both a list of ordered cache entries and the map of data itself. Converting just the map to a threadsafe implementation doesn't actually fix the t

While this price change is certainly impactful, I wanted to see if my experience is universal. Does the swipe behavior in the iOS Youtube TV app (and only the Youtube TV app) drive you crazy? It's the only app where it will consistentl

PR FAQs start with a future-looking press release which, if you want to call it that, is effectively fan fiction. They are certainly more than a little campy at times, but they're a way to set a vision for what you want the world see w

You're conflating the end result and the means. I wouldn't cheer on any company doing that, just like I don't cheer on companies when they donate to campaigns for racists or people who vote for racists. The government also do

by dastbe 6y ago
If your government isn't willing to compromise with you but desires something from you, it's pretty straightforward that you should withhold as much as you can until they decide to compromise.

There is still a distinction between primitives and object types in Scala, so it's not correct to say that types in Scala aren't used for storage specification. It's also the case that there are plenty of languages where all

I think the level of economic anxiety (precariousness) people have is one of the biggest mental health risks in the US. It lowers people's ability to perform cognitive tasks and results in more bad decisions.

For Facebook, Whatsapp, and Instragram they all started as distinct platforms and companies, so the question would be should they consolidate. IMO Facebook has made the right decision not to consolidate, as individuals bought into those pla

That wiki doesn't justify your statement. It's leveraging a list from 2017, but using Alphabet's market cap from 2019? And regardless, the actual market caps on that page would say Microsoft is the biggest software company in

To me, this is focusing on minimizing the occurrence of failure scenarios rather than solutions for them. You should not only be asking yourself what you're ok with happening in failure scenarios, but also what happens when rare scenar
