Indeed! But that wasn't what I tried. Just tried that one though and a few limitations pop up. Omar's solo projects turn up a large distance away from the band, lesser known bands that I consider to be very close in sound don&#x27

That's very cool, I've been thinking about making a similar thing to discover new music but for a few bands I checked this does both provide bands I know to be similar as well as bands that I don't know. This seems to be powe

I believe a more appropriate way to think about this sort of thing is asymptotically. Sure, your 10th worker might revolutionize the way your company works. Your 9 workers work on a very specific thing and suddenly your new hire makes it mo

I couldn't find a citation for that fact though, the one about horses. I found a lot of people referencing the article you mentioned but no original source.

I don't think the parent is complaining about that sort of thing, they just have a higher standard. You will disagree with a lot of naming decisions from people you work with, and they all pass Fizzbuzz.

I've been far more productive in the time I've been able to work but the fact that I have a young kid at home isn't helping, exactly as you're describing. So I end up having a lot less time to get deep into problems. Al

I don't think being comfortable when you're supposed to be comfortable and be able to focus on other things is a bad thing. You can be uncomfortable outside of your focus or leisure time and be perfectly healthy.

That's feasible, it's not even a hard thing to do (maybe hard to do very accurately), I worked for a company that offered exactly that service, as a small project. Still, that probably doesn't answer the question, how does th

A lucene based solution would probably scale better and would allow you to implement more complex behavior. You get analyzers, stopword filters, synonyms etc. out of the box, and you can express things like "virus within 5 words of lun

I'm not sure what the cost would be to have ES/Solr hosted (is there a free option?). I'm too poor/cheap to do so, if it were up to me I'd set this up with a static js page that uses something similar in the browser

I don't mind explaining algorithms on a whiteboard. I do mind having to recall arbitrary algorithms on the spot. Even then, you can avoid asking trickier algorithms as an interviewer. But as soon as you have to write in an actual langu

Unironically the one thought that completely allows me to relax is that I will die at some point and it all doesn't matter. For me, this doesn't bring me down but it removes all the stakes. Einmal ist keinmal, basically.

Wow, my heart goes out to you people, in my mind the tech industry was safe but apparently I hadn't thought this through.

I was handed a 2017 MacBook Pro with 8GB of RAM at my current job while waiting for my actual laptop to be delivered, and it was a nightmare. I keep a lot of tabs open to look things up, but nothing excessive on that machine. I also run VSC

My experience is that it's extremely hard to even get to the interview stage with most well-known remote companies, I assume due to the sheer volume of applications they get. At the same time, the initial application form for a lot of

Had that happen to me to an old hotmail account that I used when I was a teenager. Sucks to lose that much history, and not sure how it makes sense for a business to alienate a user so much.

Depends on your project/business. On my current job, I very rarely go back to see when something was changed, because the business requirements are very straight forward. A change needs to happen, and the implications are clear. Also,

As with any other thing you try to encourage, it's not going to work without consensus or decision power. If you have either, it should be easy to do so. One easy way to push people in the right direction without much effort though is

Because wasting someone else's time isn't great, and we're all human beings and should probably care about that. But more importantly for the faceless hiring entity itself, because it is very short sighted. It leaves a bad im

What I find very weird is the fact that almost every job has a hard requirement for Ruby (or now it seems Go, last time I checked their job adverts it was almost exclusively Ruby). Which is not what most successful companies do, nor what ma
