   You’re both right: most companies want to hire the least competent (least costly) engineer capable of doing the job. Then they have mixed luck in hiring and wind up with a distribution of engineers, including some plain incompetent ones. Th

   Thank you! Not much to argue with, rather just nodding my head. I hope one of us interviews the other some day, and that we have a chance to debrief after.

   First, would you respond to my question? :) In the case of the other commenter's suggested joke, you said "That sounds completely fine to me", so I genuinely want to know why one joke is completely fine and the other falls in

   Considering this article has spent hours on the front page and remains in the top 10, I don't see the point you're trying to make. Also, note organic .

   Would you spell out for us what is unambiguously Wrong about "you must be writing a lot of Swift"? A charitable interpretation could be this is a shallow joke about semicolons, that could be safe for lightening things up in an int

   A block could be a 3-D square, so at least there’s this cute connection in this case, unlike Meta.

    The Subaru auto headlights work great indeed. Other Subaru smart functionality is crap though. For example, the touchscreen and gauges auto-dimming: literally every time it auto-dims or auto-undims, I have to tweak the dimming level. It wou

    Parent did not imply that you have or should have marketing people. Your first sentence comes across as defensive. You should express thanks for this feedback and avoid sounding defensive, as that is alienating to people, stifles dialog, an

    As a data point FWIW, I have operated a PG11 cluster (on RDS), client-side pooling only, with 300-450 app servers and max_connections=2000-3000 (can’t remember), and didn’t observe significant backend resource contention or performance degr

    Where in my comment are you getting that I think it’s a good law? Bluntly, with my very limited context (no, I didn’t read the article), it sounds like a dumb law. I take to heart original commenter’s complaint that their country’s politici

    What’s your point? A junior recruiter out to prove themselves will need to cut corners just like all the other recruiters do. Give them an opportunity to make mistakes, I guarantee you the great recruiters have made and learned from their f

    That’s so interesting. In my case, other nearby neighborhoods are slightly more trendy and attract the single etc vibe, so our vibe is very safe. Hm

    Thanks for the reply! I can empathize. Have you experienced a neighborhood with a mix of half SFH, and the other half a smattering of 2, 3, 4 and occasional 10+? I currently rent in such a neighborhood and it’s fairly awesome. It supports a

    Huge apartment buildings are “lumpy” and indeed impose externalities locally. I’ve been thinking a lot recently about if we could evenly distribute housing, we could cut through some of the NIMBY opposition. Quad plexes by right [0 for exam

    I looked it up in case others are curious: genuine Percocet contains acetaminophen in addition to the oxycodone. The genuine Mylan pills do not contain acetaminophen, so are much better for abuse.
