I’m Polish, I don’t have to hide anything.

Wrong assumption, it’s been that way long before the energy crisis started.

It’s in the valley and because Polish state is kinda weak they cannot enforce nearby villages to stop burning garbage to heat their homes.

Exactly, seriously complaining about the fact that the system is designed to run on time rather than trickle down delays is beyond me.

Complaining about Swiss trains is beyond me.

by gregorygoc 9mo ago
Swiss trains are run by a national company and they’re great.

> For small values of N, log(N) is essentially a constant, <= 32, so we can just disregard it, making sorting simply O(N). For large values, even so-called linear algorithms (e.g. linear search) are actually O(N log(N)), as the storag

I’m obviously operating within the assumption that Switzerland would follow EU regulations. So no chloride chicken. I agree with beef, much needs to be done. But… bells attached to cows are considered as torture. https://www.the

Products are not higher quality… the only thing these tariffs accomplish is basically they allow agriculture industry to do the things the old way. Keep status quo, aka remain extremely uncompetitive and unproductive. If Switzerland opened

DE is still cheaper for some products but not by much. I have no idea how do they manage there since salaries are like 2x less.

For the right set of requirements I can fix bugs in my system with significantly less effort, than rewriting a system which was built with wrong assumptions to begin with. Again, wrong analogy. I don’t demand perfect analogies though. Treat

Any efficiency gains which come from cleaner organization structure are gone because of the lossy translation mechanism between a PM and Eng team. You can argue that good PMs translate requirements perfectly, but this is a rare skill and I’

What is so arrogant in expressing first-hand experiences?

by gregorygoc 1y ago
Deeply flawed analogy. Engineers operate in the same organizational structure as PMs. Also, in product feature teams it is up to the debate whether PMs provide any value, if you put engineers closer to customers. For the PM role to work, th

It’s not cope. You can compete for the same “quality of life” resources being in the median vs top 5-percentile. It’s not possible in the U.S. or UK.

I come from a country which had a strong Soviet influence, and in school basically we were taught that behind every hard formula lies an intuitive explanation. As otherwise, there’s no way to come up with the formula in the first place. Thi

This. The article is just FUD, and full of wrong assumptions and conclusions.

It’s mind boggling why this resource has not been provided by NVIDIA yet. It reached the point that 3rd parties reverse engineer and summarize NV hardware to a point it becomes an actually useful mental model. What are the actual incentives

It’s basic game theory. If someone is not nice to you, you have to be not nice for them.

It shows the broken incentives of the lobbied failure mode. It does not say anything about the limits of regulation. In particular, regulation can say: you need to perform 100,000 failure-less flights across the globe without any passengers

Good old “the capital has no nationality”. Yeah, sure. Offshore everything, keep a bunch of stooges as “head of the heads” in the U.S. and one day wake up with entire know how transferred to wherevere-was-cheaper-at-the-time.

Blood has been spilled. 737 MAX happened and it didn’t change the industry, so nothing will.

Well nobody sane claims that if carbon appears on a planet then conscious minds will suffer through ads and cookie banners. There is the internet, there was a decision point to subsidize bunch of stuff with ads and here we are. It could’ve

My observation is that in general smart generalists are smarter than smart specialists. I work at Google, and it’s just that these generalists folks are extremely fast learners. They can cover breadth and depth of an arbitrary topic in a ma

I could never understand the proof allergy. To be honest I find it was easier for me to perform well in proof based classes rather than “here’s an algorithm, apply it” type. The main reason was that it was harder for me to make mistakes whi

I do agree they do complement each other… to some extent. My point was rather that if you write a good code, keeping logical arguments in your head should be reduced to the minimum. To the point that only testing edge cases and a happy path
