This so much. I live in Boston so I end up interviewing a lot of new Northeastern grads. Foreign Masters students are the absolute worst cohort of candidates I deal with. The vast majority cannot write fizz buzz without help. A Northeastern

Honestly? Fuck this. Millions of people are going to die. It's very likely some of your friends and family will be in that number. It's okay to mourn. It's expected that we will all mourn. The world we get out of this is goin

The standout feature Kitty has for me is keeping its config in a regular text file, so like all my other basic tools it can be configured from my dotfiles repo and a simple setup script. So much simpler then fussing with iTerm’s plist.

Because in capitalism there are really only two things that make money: real estate and finance. Everything else is just combining real estate and finance in interesting ways. McDonalds is a real estate company that happens to make burgers.

But this case isn’t about consuming or interacting with an API, it’s about implementing an API. So less writing a compiler targeting a CPU instruction set and more building a CPU based on someone else’s instruction set. I’ve always found it

I applied to ITA in 2008ish and was require to complete one of these, something very similar to instant search. Needless to say I failed because the question isn't about your ability to program, it is just if you know what a suffix-tre

~12% of American women will get breast cancer, which is about 6% of Americans. And during October there is just as much pink as there are rainbows in June.

Are kosher kitchens not a thing in San Francisco? They aren't common in Boston but I think most places allow them.

The “pleasing heft” the article mentions is a sign that you have soda-lime glass instead of borosilicate. A few years ago after having a 2-cup soda-lime Pyrex measuring cup explode I order the equivalent from Arcuisine in borosilicate and I

SRECs are generated and auctioned quarterly. After an initial lag I get a check for SREC sales every 3 months. There are schemes where you can get fixed price SRECs by signing them over to a 3rd-party. The third-party then give you a fixed

CadQuery is awesome. OpenScad’s language is quite limited: being able to use any Python you want makes CadQuery so much more powerful. Plus CadQuery can generate STEP files so you’re not limited to hobby 3D printers: you can send your proje

I think Java is simple because it’s small. There are only 50 keywords and ~40 operators (many of which are variations). As a comparison C# has 102 [1] keywords. Java code is generally easy to understand assuming some familiarity with other

Java won for a bunch of reason: 1) It’s fast. Like almost C/C++ fast. Yes like any language you can write crappy slow code in Java but it is fast by default. 2) While certainly not an easy language it is a simple language. The number o

Why? There are ~76,000[1] coal worker in the US out of 151 million people in the workforce[2]. Why does this minuscule industry deserve more protections then say Toys 'R' Us' 31,000 employees?[3] Just because they all vote GO
