Did Amazon return to back-weighted comp? The offer I received two years ago had comp that shifted from "cash focused" to RSUs over 4 years, and had equivalent cash value over the 4 years. Obviously, by year 3/4 when comp was

I don't view Docker as an "extra" dependency: I view it as the _only_ dependency. For example, at my last job, before we switched to Docker, a client dev that wanted to run a local backend had to install postures, apply initi

To me, starting with Docker makes a lot of sense. I can isolate my development machine from the code execution environment. It makes it a lot easier for everyone on my team to run their preferred OS (Mac, Ubuntu, Arch, even Windows) and sti

I did the same, but if I'm doing that skimming and I know the answer to question 12 is (c), I fill in (c) and keep going. I don't read all the questions, then go back and try and remember which of the questions I knew the answers

I'd argue the opposite - it's harder to get away with impersonation. In the AIM situation, users go in "knowing" that usernames are unique, so if you see a message from user abc123, you "know" it's that pe

Generally, I'd say no, but it probably depends on the types of problems. Companies have areas of expertise and areas of weakness - their hiring process might be a weakness, but that doesn't necessarily mean that working for the co

The problem is, the answers are useful to more than just the original questioner. Sure, the questioner may be doing things vastly wrong - but the people who land on that question's page via search may have legitimate reasons for doing

Frontier Airlines charges for both checked and carry-on baggage. Additionally, they charge _more_ for luggage if you don't pay until you're at the airport, and even more if you wait til you're past security and at the gate. I

In a similar vein, Reddit's "self" posts were originally formed by users submitting posts linking to themselves, by guessing the URL for the next submitted post.

There are few differences between "local" and "remote" main in GP's example. "origin/master" is a _local_ copy of the origin's master branch, and updated with every "git fetch". So &quo

There is, and will always be, a gap between what is strictly allowed/legal, and what is considered ethical/courteous. There's a number of things that are strictly speaking legal, but still considered rude. Often, the reputati

It's the (usually 1-year) cliff that is more important when considering leaving. Once an engineer hits the RSU/bonus cliff, they're not losing _past_ benefits for leaving, only future benefits - and presumably the other job o

When I went full time remote (last year, before COVID), I had comfort and strain issues. I attribute them to 2 main causes, that I've since mitigated: 1. I replaced my commute with more screen time. This was a net increase in my daily

Would `git log --grep='some pattern'` help? Or perhaps since you're searching, "git log -p" (or other flags) to have the log show the data you need inline rather then needing to separately run "git show".

I don't know if this is the actual reason, but I can see value in a country protecting it's food supply to ensure that long-term, they stay self sufficient. Subsidies that keep production local would be a means to that end.

This is how I feel. Walk the walk and talk the talk in small ways on a daily basis, and learn about and push for policy changes to try and encourage big changes. Or, to put it differently: on average, the people I know in my life who think

It depends on how the deduplication is configured, and the risk tolerance of the organization running it, I suppose. ZFS, for example, has a dedup setting option that forces the file system to do a byte-for-byte verification for any deduped

I disagree that Git's biggest flaw is its lack of scalability. Cases where git needs to scale tend to be isolated to companies that have the manpower to build a finely-tuned replacement (see: MS, Google). Git's flaws are primarily
