The technical question I have start easy and get progressively harder as we go deeper. I think thats a good strategy - everyone I interview should be able to get started, even if they're feeling anxious, and if they cannot then we can

I've got a Lenovo tablet. It's bad - I only use it to read music and it's so laggy. It was cheap but I feel I'd have been better off getting a used ipad.

I don't know if that was epic sarcasm, but companies are doing exactly that. CoreWeave has taken on something like $30b of debt against the value of their GPUs. https://www.forbes.com/sites/rashishrivastava/20

Well different people on this very site want very different things. So you can't really ask us to decide what we want. Probably most folks commenting here want to be paid a good wage, but their view on H1B visas is then going to depend

It seems like the big improvements in the current AI flavor are done. It happened very quickly, and so did the diminishing returns. It's amazing compared to 2 years ago, it's great compared to a year ago, it's not that differ

I think your take is correct. Governments around the world are going to say whatever they need to to get the lowest tariffs possible but trade will slowly reorient itself. I said before the election, if Trump works with Western allies then

I updated a couple of days ago. All the new transparency and blur they've added looks really bad. But then I turned on "Reduce transparency" and it's fine. There's nothing else new or different. I read a few of the

I suppose my problem with it is the implied imposition on others. DHH didn't write that his own children are a joy. He wrote that we should be teaching others that children are a divine joy. Kids are hard work, and they aren't a j

We have to rub along with people who have different political views to our own and I strongly agree that people shouldn't be forced out for opinions held that have little to do with the organization in question. However, I clicked two

I used https://tmsearch.uspto.gov/ and didn't find it listed there. It used to belong to Lotus. It seems that MS has not trademarked TypeScript.

I think your post is sarcastic and has slightly gone over my head, but I'll answer as if its not: Facebook effectively achieved that vision and then blew it up in the name of money. It was a service that showed you the posts of your co

The climate doesn't care about per capita figures and historical responsibility. Besides which, emissions have grown so much since 2000 that historical is kind of moot. Per capita is kind of silly too, all the people in the country I l

While it's true that CAN happen, it doesn't mean it happens often enough to disrupt JIT compiling the code. It does mean there is an invalidation when code paths are modified. JRuby is a thing and it runs on the JVM as more than a

While that's true for the running program, it doesn't stop the JIT engine running a thread to compile code as the parent comment suggested. It's not running the ruby code.

I don't really understand the current trend of using sqlite in place of a traditional database. It has it's place, I use it in a client side project and it's really great, although even there I have to be aware of the one wri

I mean who cares that much what their metal slab looks like? I jest because I know lots of people do, but it really should be a thing primarily for function. I'd like a foldable if it had as nice cameras as my current phone.

The browser is an application that renders webpages. It doesn't need any mystical vague purpose. Further, the OS doesn't wrap the machine, that's not even a good analogy. When you wrap something you've protected it or hi

That's true, but supermarkets compete with one another on price and other factors. They are motivated to do things to get more customers. Yes, there are many cases where supermarkets have been bad actors, but that's solvable with

I don't think I really criticized the project. I said it was cool, I had a look at it. I just put down that I think there are pros and cons to the single language approach and, for me, the cons outweigh the pros.
