Jin Yiang isn't Chinese-American. He's Chinese. Chinese people who were born in China have accents when speaking English. It would be ridiculous if he was Chinese and didn't have an accent. I haven't noticed Dinesh as ha

It's possible to do technical interviewing well. I've done a lot of terrible ones, but at my current job the technical interviews were highly relevant to my work, and not trivia or puzzle questions. We used a laptop instead of a w

Watch "The Newburgh Sting". The lengths that the FBI went to entrap those guys was ridiculous. They had a guy who was constantly searching out suspects and badgering them into joining a plot that they never would have had any abil

News articles should absolutely be almost JS-free. The current status of news sites is ridiculous. But this page is an interactive visualization, so it makes sense to use JS. The JS debate isn't an all-or-nothing argument. Documents sh
