Twice so far, though not in as stark terms, and not recently. Once, I told him to knock it off trying to make a peer engineer who was underperforming look bad in front of the team, and instead to inform our manager of cases where he believe

I think from what I've written, it could be possible to interpret this as the case. At least part of it's true -- I'm not nearly as experienced in some of the technologies this team uses as the other engineer who's been

Thank you for your advice. > your manager isn’t doing his job Yeah, I do believe this and agree. My manager's new, and hasn't gotten much guidance or mentorship. I feel like he depends on me for a lot, and since I don't ha

This sounds similar to the guy I'm working with. He's great in certain ways and takes his job seriously but can be really grating to work with. (Frankly, I think it probably has something to do with taking stimulants, just based o

The syntax is based on python, but its runtime is not. So nothing about the contrast between the python language and mojo's use as a super-parallelized parallel processing system is inconsistent.

Amazon did this, at least for a time, as part of a "No See, No Hear" hiring pilot program. The purpose was to see if they could hire university graduates with a minimum of human interviewing effort. They selected from a handful of

Of all the languages one could accuse of being hermetically designed in an ivory tower, Go would be the second-least likely.

You'd have to commit yourself to believing a massive amount of implausible things in order to address the remote possibility that AI consciousness is plausible. If there weren't a long history of science-fiction going back to the

I take good care of my pet rock for the same reason. In case it comes alive I don't want it to bash my skull in.

Speaking from my experiences in dozens of debriefs: I don't think I can recall a case where an otherwise good candidate was rejected for something like not liking someone's personality. There might be a middle ground between &quot

It strikes me as a massive anti-pattern to have one developer be the sole contributor of an open-source project sponsored by a $3T company. It doesn't speak well to its longevity or the strength of the sponsorship Microsoft's putt

Derek Thompson is not well suited to this kind of work. He is much better suited to his usual lame, predictable, centrist, lukewarm commentary on tired political and social topics.

Are there any such build-a-lisp books/guides using modern c++?

I have a similar use case and this idea also occurred to me. However: the dict in this case would also include dataclasses, and I’d be interested in finding what exact attributes within those dataclasses were accessed, and also be able to m

I still don’t quite get the motivation for “don’t use pydantic except at border” — it sounds like it’s “you don’t need it”, which might be true. But then adds dacite to translate between pydantic at the border and python objects internally.

Considering the human brain evolved over hundreds of millions of years of evolution (what a lot of data!) that almost seems cheap to do in the span of a number of months to train a model.

Those are compute credits that are directly spent on the experiment itself. It's no more "compensation" than a chemistry researcher being "compensated" with test tubes.
