Uber and Lyft have made life much easier in San Francisco, since the taxi service here is very poor. I was in Vancouver a few years ago, before they allowed Uber and Lyft, and we had an extremely hard time getting a taxi there too.

People generally are very sad when they go through awful life experiences. That's fine and it's often expected. It's common for people to weep at a funeral, for example, and it might be somewhat inappropriate to be cheerful a

Code quality can be a religious issue for some people, and some teams have somewhat strange ideas on the subject that they've agreed to agree about despite the ideas not being reasonable or valid. Perhaps Bob was an engineer with a lon

IMO the world really needs a gallery of images in which people are cheerfully going through dreadful life events, e.g. being fired, signing divorce papers, burying a beloved pet. People could look at these images when they are anxious, and

It's more robust not to remove the extra headers IMO. Otherwise you give an unnecessary signal to the backend that the traffic's not coming from the expected sources. It also makes the process of writing your code more mechanical,

"NEAT would identify psychological and behavioral changes before they impact military readiness." I think the idea is to identify soldiers and other personnel who are at risk of becoming suicidal during a military operation. This

I appreciate the need to help homeless folks, but I don't understand why they need to be housed in California. Why can't we build housing for them somewhere else, where it's cheaper?

Feel free not to engage in this practice if it offends your moral sensibilities, but you will be at a disadvantage if you do. Experienced resume readers are aware of the amount of self-aggrandizement that goes on, and your modest and truthf

I agree that fakes are very good for testing, with one caveat: the fakes must be owned by the same folks that own the real implementation. When fakes are owned by anyone else, e.g. the folks writing the system under test, there's a hig

To be fair, it took decades for e-commerce on the web to become mainstream. Remember what a joke Webvan used to be in 2001?

They use the Microsoft stack, so they'd have to buy more licenses if they scaled horizontally. Yes, it raised quite a few eyebrows when they announced this decision.

If they'd used open-source software rather than the Microsoft stack, they could have scaled horizontally without having to worry about buying more software licenses.

It's one thing to have a poor-quality code base. It's another thing to be proud of it, to the extent that you boast about your highly questionable decision-making in a blog post. I don't envy anyone who joins this company and

The descriptions in the article are roughly correct for companies that have modeled themselves on Google, which is most companies headquartered in the Bay Area. Microsoft's Principal Engineer is much more junior than at these companies

It seems extremely unlikely that nobody at Spotify has considered this. It's probably safe to conclude that Spotify are optimizing their UX and algorithms for different metrics than the ones used in this academic study.
