Yeah. Shame on the US government. I also don´t understand why the US government is so afraid of people who can afford international travel to come to the US, yet opens its south borders.

I grew up reading all kinds of articles and books about how engineering itself is a career track and I believed it. However, when I looked at the great engineers, it seems they eventually turned into executives. Jeff Dean, for instance, is

Similar to how Alibaba did with Taobao and TMall in China and Southeast Asia? Aggregators do offer values.

Given their description on separated scaling on storage and compute, I was wondering if Kora has an architecture more similar to Apache Pulsar than Apache Kafka.

A great culture is really hard to reproduce because it depends on the ability of the CEO. The CEO needs to properly evaluate the performance of his team, and reward or punish them fairly to demonstrate the culture. In the meantime, the CEO

I thought after Netflix's culture deck and Reed Hoffman's book Alliance, it would be pretty clear that a company is not a family. It could an alliance, it could be a professional sports team, or it could be some business entity, b

Would this not be due to SO’s demise, but due to the fact the tech has become more stable and boring to the point that there are fewer new questions and answers?

The sad thing is that the US needs to discuss such common sense.

Tech companies nowadays love to hire product managers. How are product managers different from software engineers when it comes to creating requirements, especially on highly technical projects?

Not sure if Red Hat will be able to fix this. This is not Red Hat but IBM. If IBM could fix problems like this, they wouldn't have been declining in the past decade.

I assume it has to do with the crime rate, including violation of bylaws by homeless, like loitering in the elevators per some security guards of the mall? If so, I have to ask: what do the politicians stand to gain by refusing to enforce t

I like this humility: "AITemplate is co-created by Meta engineers: Bing Xu, Ying Zhang, Hao Lu, Yang Chen, and Terry Chen, with major contributions coming from more talented engineers."

For those who understand Kanji or Chinese, do you feel that the Romanji like "Dagashi" gives you quite different feeling than the Kanji 駄菓子? I feel that Kanji somehow conveys more meaning and more emotion, to the point that I&#x27

Didn’t it cost $130K to offer just housing to a homeless person? That’s after-tax money. That is, it cost around 3x as much as the US median household income, right? If this is not corruption, I don’t know what is. But wait! People in SF el

Does "local" mean people who are born in the US? If so, I'd ask: can they? STEM requires a supporting and an encouraging culture. I'm not sure the US had one (I understand many of people think the US does have one now, b

The sad truth is that people nowadays can't even pass through a 15-minute podcast without checking out their Twitter feed multiple times. So, I'm not sure how many people would read through a 800-page textbook.

Maybe I am. For a senior enough role, my questions are open ended. I'd expect the candidate to drive conversations and examine alternatives. I ask follow-up questions based on what the candidate mentions. Yeah, such may be indeed their
