This isn't a site you should rely on to truly understand a language, but I have successfully used it to learn enough syntax to follow along with Ruby code in a book I was reading. I imagine if I needed to learn enough Go or Kotlin, or

It's to de-emphasize post bodies. It's like that for all post bodies on HN. I believe the rationale was to focus on the title/link and any comments.

The title is misleading, the post is really trying to sell you on a new language

maybe this anti-throttling script[1] should help. I'm able to run at max CPU clock frequency at 85-90+ deg temps without throttling when doing CPU intense stuff (t480s, not carbon, but should work on carbon). [1]: https://gi

When you say outside the bay area, do you also mean companies are not 'tech-first' type companies? (companies that hire devs, but their primary domain is not just some app/website/saas) I've applied to many jobs in

I could see how this might be an issue with someone early in their career who has a low-profile project or two, but your resume would stand out very quickly among the rest so for this to happen is alarming. Feels like a very similar occurre

A recent experience I've had with programming screens, not whiteboard interviews specifically, is the lack of feedback. I'm given a programming problem (or a set of problem), given about 2 hours to do it, I do it in the allotted t

May I ask whether you're working for an international company (US?) or a Brazilian company? And how senior are you? Is remote work common there?
