The most harmful idea he introduced is stack ranking, the consequences of which we're still dealing with in the tech industry. In particular ranking people on a team level on the team and firing those on the bottom has taken a severe t

This was the most shocking for me. How is Blind getting my FB info from the app? Is there a way to prevent this on Android?

Rust is not the right choice because it's trendy, but because it provides memory and thread safety properties that are hard to enforce in C++. For systems software the advantages are huge.

I'm really surprised this isn't in Rust considering security is a priority. However, I think something like this will become increasingly common for high performance cloud applications. Many programs do not need a full operating s

Having worked at Bloomberg I really wish there was more content published about how it's implemented because it pretty astonishing in both good and bad ways. For one thing the codebase is ancient there are still some Fortran bits that

A very clever thing they're doing is conflating being an employee with not having flexible hours, as if part time jobs don't exist. Fast food chains don't hire independent contractors and yet lots of people have flexible shif

Each of the languages you mentioned is wildly popular, well run, and not going anywhere. If you chose not to learn Java a decade ago because you "knew better" you aren't any better off than you were before, given that this la

Typically in the free tiers there is a caveat in the service agreement that it is not meant for production services and your resources can be shut down at any time. It's important to read the fine print.

That's impressive, considering that this CosmosDB development only started in 2014! You are talking about Cosmos which is still around but is now used as the basis of Azure Data lake [0]. However, I think the closest MS has to Dremel i

If you read the Google Dapper paper from way back in 2010 it has this to say about sensitive information and logging: > Logging some amount of RPC payload information would enrich Dapper traces since analysis tools might be able to find

It's not clear to me why deep learning is required here. It seems like some dead simple lane following code would probably work just fine. This is generally how these competitions are done.

There is already FIRST robotics competitions for that. FIRST tech league in particular is pretty software oriented. There programs are a great way to get students into programming and learning about writing real software.

While I think what Lambda School does seems pretty great I have to wonder what will happen when the next recession hits. If their new grads aren't getting hired, they can't afford to pay for their current class. It feels like some

This is surprisingly low given what's out there. For comparison: - Azure pipelines offers 1,800 minutes a month - Google Cloud Build offers 120 minutes a day - CircleCI offers 1000 minutes a month Weird that they wouldn't even try

This is something I see startups miss a lot and I'm sometimes surprised they are able to get good interns. Usually by the end of October and especially by the end of November most good students already have an internship lined up at so
