Really fun, but laggy and eventually it failed to place blocks.

Not bad. For comparison Nim builds itself using just 668MiB.

There are senior engineers out there that have <4 years professional experience. I myself went from IC3 (junior) to IC5 (senior) at FB in around 3 years and this is pretty common at FB from what I've seen.

That's great! Thanks for the info, Geomiq looks brilliant. If you could go into more detail on the CE self certification that would be awesome. How did you figure out what testing you need to perform on the product to complete the self

Amazing job! The keyboard looks great. I have a couple of question for you regarding how you built the prototype and how you are planning to manufacture it. I am building something much less ambitious but also a hardware project and could r

Adjacent to the topic of this article but I really love Gergely's reporting. It's great that he is shining a light at how poorly these companies are handling layoffs. Hopeful that this will change our industry for the better.

I wonder if it's still that way. At Meta it is not, you need to go through an interview loop to move from Production Engineering to SWE (even though the culture at Meta makes PE far more similar to SWE than SRE is to SWE). I bet the re

Soon it won't just be France but all of Europe (and by soon I mean the next few weeks). It's crazy how quickly global warming is showing its face.

Just did the same, seems they offer international shipping too. It does cost $9 though (but hey, at least I won't have to wait until Nov 24th).

Interesting, I've lived in the UK for many years, have heard many times that it is mosquito-free and haven't run into mosquitoes in all my time here. I would still say that the UK has many orders of magnitude less mosquitoes than

It may be barrels of pesticides, but at least it seems they opt for natural pesticide (liquid garlic/peppermint) instead of any toxic (to humans) substances.

Yep, I also just left Meta/Facebook after 4 years working there. I did spend some of my time trying to see where Nim could fit (together with a few other folks that liked Nim at FB), the best area we could come up with was CLI tools th

What's always been interesting about the languages Meta uses is the story of the rise and fall of the D programming language at Meta. I wasn't around at the time when Andrei was working there and advocating for its adoption, but i

if you're optimising for those then you might as well learn whatever's most in-demand and popular, probably Python. There are plenty of companies that are good enough though, for most you won't even need to talk to a recruite

where are you getting the jobs data from? I'm surprised there are this many Nim jobs tbh

Precisely. Any good company won't care what programming language you are specifically proficient in. They care about how proficient you are in learning new things. I have created a lot of Nim projects and implemented much of its stdlib

Do you have any evidence to say that this is the case other than speculation? It's also possible that they just changed the URL format. FWIW `pfbid` seems to be a shortened version of "post fb id" so why would it include the

Why is there such a distinction? What's the difference in the day to day of a SRE-SWE vs. an SRE-SE?

Run `nim -v`, if it's not in debug mode you should see "active boot switches: -d:release".
