As a native Korean speaker, learning Russian was probably the most difficult experience. I still can't figure out the proper accents. I also don't know enough about linguistics to understand why it's so difficult. In contrast

Interesting article - most of these metrics should be learned on the job for a lot of product managers.

To be fair, a lot of tech companies these days offer unlimited PTO. Then again, taking more than 6~7 weeks is still somewhat taboo.

I think Robinhood's purpose is exactly to promote "emotional, irrational day trading." Isn't that part of what impacts the market anyway? There are tons of bad traders in any given platform, and you're right that Ro

Wish there were actual examples of each one instead of just an explanation. UI is cool but UX is poor.

This is crazy. I used to work on the engineering-side of this on phones (CMAS). The amount of requirements from the government and the carriers for the UI/UX were ridiculous (how the messages are precisely displayed to the users, requi

Don't programming bootcamp classes do this kind of thing too? I feel like this just increases the probability for a student to do well on the interview. If you read their intro slide, it clearly states "Level the playing field bet

I'll add on that this is an absurd lawsuit, in a music theory perspective. However, my legal knowledge is shabby. Are there any precedents regarding cases like these? If, for some peculiar reason, Radiohead wins this case, then I can i

I'm glad they transitioned into Rust. OS classes I've taken before were nowhere this cool.

Apologies for asking but how does a company like MS steal thousands from you? Enterprise SW?

Haven as in people join JUST for their visas and green cards. This also means they'll leave once they meet their objective.

I slightly edited my comment. It's a valid claim and I totally agree that the keyboard is atrocious for me as well. But products aren't just made overnight. I can almost certainly guarantee that these issues came up before release

These arguments are made for cell phones all the time too. The consensus is that it's impossible to please everyone. At least for phones, and this might be similar to laptops, we made decisions on everything based on intensive research

I love this! Hope no one turns this into some SaaS startup though :(

I've known people who worked at Snapchat and told me it was a haven for Visa sponsorship. This isn't a negative but it's possible that turnover will be extremely high once these employees get their visas/greencards.

We are definitely not the target users. They definitely have a strong product that appeals to a large demographic.

"Simple" solutions: build a time machine or cure every cancer. Name these devices after your name. With all the money you'll gain, name a bunch of cities and islands after your name.

They don't have zero computer education or infrastructure though. Although the details will never be known, they've been known to have a pretty strong education system. I know this example can be considered moot, but their IMO (In

I doubt FB will change how their feed works because of this publicized incident. Perhaps Zuck will make a post about how they'll try and improve because they care about people. I know a lot of people that work at Facebook and they&#x27

Android Studio has a git UI built-in so it's really useful.

Similar situation here - positive reinforcement helped me. Every morning, I'd reward myself with something that I like - sometimes I watched a good TV show, sometimes I went to the gym and worked out. I also have a girlfriend but I gue

Actually, have you seen matches between SF without opening books vs SF with opening books? This isn't true anymore as far as I'm know.

I think even with unlimited APM, humans can still beat AI using cheese strategies, like an undetected cannon rush, since you can't really micro your workers against cannons (the projectile isn't dodge-able like the one from siege

I doubt the man resorted to extortion. 100k seems pretty reasonable for the severity of this issue and given Uber's budget it could've been a reasonable initial offer.

Uber paid this Florida man 100K as a bug bounty - and the secrecy was just part of the deal. My understanding is that bug bounties usually come with a reasonable disclosure process but in this case, Uber did not want this because of the sev

I know several top-level mathematicians (International Math Olympiad medalists) and not all of them are working as Quants. Some of them compose music, some of them are working as machine learning experts, VC funds, etc. They may be slight o

You're right that it's pointless. The paper has the game with Stockfish so that's good enough for me.

I'm not in the OEM industry anymore but I'm aware that 845 has been in development for months. It'll be interesting to see how Project Treble turns out with 845.
