You could use diagnostic tests, such as those described in the DSM. This is what psychologists and doctors do in real life to determine whether someone is depressed.

It would have been nice to see the compiler implemented in the language itself. I'm a little skeptical of any language that can't be used to compile itself.

I'm not outraged or surprised by the revelations. Everyone knows there is toxicity on Facebook and other social media products. Social media is sometimes toxic because people are sometimes toxic. Moreover, people are drawn to toxicity

It's not quicker to write code in Lisp when you don't know Lisp, and you have to learn it to make a change to some Lisp code that someone randomly added to the codebase. This is true of all niche languages that are supposedly quic

I'm having a hard time believing that Google uses this much internally. Is github.com/google just a place where Googlers can put personal projects to get additional exposure?

Not only is Tesla Autopilot potentially lethal for Tesla owners, it is also potentially lethal for other road users. I don't understand why Tesla are still permitted to sell vehicles with this feature.

Great move. Joining a new company always involves a leap of faith, and this reduces the risk somewhat of the fit not being satisfactory. I hope that all companies that offer equity will do the same as DoorDash.

Can anyone estimate how much it would cost a scrappy private company to provide similar services sustainably? My guess is that it would be far less than $2600/m.

Adobe has the money and prestige to be able to hire and retain very good people to work on Photoshop. I expect that the codebase is very high quality for one that is more than 30 years old.

It's almost as if Adobe have no motives whatsoever to make the proprietary file format for their cash cow easy to use for those who would like to build competing products.

It's a fallacy to claim that developers are hired substantially on the basis of their open-source portfolios. This is very rare IME. It's also somewhat of a fallacy to claim that open-source software is the domain of hobbyists. A

The article makes the residents appear petty and ridiculous, but to be fair these gatherings really are obnoxiously noisy and extremely annoying. I'd be surprised if many non-transplants didn't find them tiresome as well.

A few nits: (1) C++ has std::to_string nowadays. You don't need to roll your own. (2) Environment::get would be more efficient if you used a hash table (e.g. unordered_map) instead of many ifs. (3) It's better to pass std::string

It's very strange that Sundar refers to "Dr. Gebru" throughout his email. Google is generally a first-name company.
