To prevent every one of those posts from becoming a general discussion about the company that's hiring.

That’s a stretched out version of the paragraph above and it still doesn’t describe how they calculated the scores.

This doesn't explain the methodology though, it just lists the sources. I want to know what it means for Python to be 100 and for Java to be 70.22.

Why write this article without explaining what you measure and how? This is just astounding. "X is the top language" "What does top mean to you? How did you measure it?" "Eh." Worse than useless.

Different methodologies. SO's most loved metric is % of people using the language who want ot keep using it. If you look at the most popular languages (as in used by most people) in SO's survey, the top 3 are JavaScript, HTML&#x2F

Why do you think there has to be some kind of tradeoff with regards to technology? Aren't there plenty of large and mid-sized companies with modern tech, more stability than a startup, higher pay and offices?

It's still Jira, data science isn't that special.

I used to simply dislike remote. Now I hate it with a deeper passion with every additional day that I do it. Other things I'm looking for in a job (apart from a convenient office location) - (1) high pay and (2) stability. Startups jus

iPhone SE iOS is quite clean, the phone is affordable, has a great chip, and will be supported for many years, certainly longer than any non-Apple phone you buy.

On the flip-side, "remember when we..." becomes very boring if you're meeting someone that you aren't forming new memories with.

Misleading title - they were contracteors through Accenture. Ending a contract isn't the same as layoff / firing / termination. The article mentions Apple laying off recruiters - again those were 3rd party contractors, not Ap

Alternatively, psychopaths who are good at pandering on social media and attracting a lot of attention from gullible people, are also likely to do messed up things in their private life. It doesn't have to be some kind of conspiracy, I

It's still CS50 - great teaching, super accessible, starts from scratch, doesn't dumb things down - highly recommend for complete beginners.

So it's like an analyst on a nontechnical team with a business focus who also has some technical skills? Like the titles in the data space weren't confusing enough already.

There's more to backend development than just databases. Imagine that someone very naively said to you "I know how to program, I've never done any backend development and I want to work as a backend developer in the future. I

Can anyone recommend books on backend that are both more exhaustive and more specific than Designing Data-Intensive Applications (which seemed more like a high-level description of storage options)?

Goodfellow's book is a bad recommendation for people don't already know the material in it.

It's perferctly fine to maintain but that also requires training at some minimal level of intensity.

> Any weight you can do 10reps of is unlikely to be near your 1rm max. Most people can't do 10 reps at 85% intensity, it's closer to 70-75%.

by jstx1 4y ago
You still need a minimum level of intensity. You won't be improving strength with something that you can lift 50 times. One way to measure perceived exertion is how many additional reps you think you can do - if you're doing 10 re

I don't want to. Why is the assumption that starting a business is the default option and if you aren't doing it you're being held back?
