I don’t see anything in this article about Amazon offering the author a job, so I’m a bit confused by the headline. Were they offered a position at Amazon the same week as this non-compete dispute became public and forgot to mention it?

Startup time is only relevant in specific cases, and doesn’t really reflect what most people think of as the language speed. It’s most important in serverless apps or similar cases where a small script is going to be called very frequently

After using in ear headphones for a few years I started to develop fairly bad ear wax problems. Like, my ears would become completely blocked and I would have to go have them cleaned by a specialist. YMMV but putting things deep into your

Everest is not mountain climbing anymore, hasn’t been for years. It’s a dangerous guided hike for a very expensive selfie. If you want a real challenge go to K2 or basically anywhere else. I have more respect for people that climb their loc

It’s interesting to consider how mathematics was viewed in ancient times, often interwoven with other disciplines and seen as the mystical language of nature rather than the sterile way it is often taught today. The legacy of Pythagorus is

BO disgusts you but you don’t mind someone smoking meth or shooting heroin on the train/bus near to you? Because I’ve experienced both of these in SF, and it’s a bit unsettling.
