That's a lot of assumptions about me and my behavior. You're right on one thing, I don't understand how pride and selfishness can be such a driving force behind people's views. I don't think your analogy with creati

Why is that? The central point of my argument is that the death rate in the US is the highest it's been since the middle of WWII. Everyone keeps saying it's not a deadly disease, not many people are actually dying, that it is bein

Right and Trump got boo'ed for saying people should get vaccinated because he's reaping the consequences of speaking without thought. I didn't say they're stupid, I said they're fools for believing what is obvious a

You can't argue with a cult. My entire wife's family are rabid GOPers and I have had multiple discussions where I have absolutely crushed them with facts and the outcome, nothing. They will simply deny anything that doesn't a

How many people need to die before it's considered a "deadly disease"? As a person in a high risk group, it angers me to hear folks cast my life as disposable and my death as insignificant. I've given up reddit after arg

Honestly, I think having engineers come and go is a net win for companies. I've worked at places where the "old guard" has been around forever and they are inevitably stubborn, obstinate, and convinced there is no other way t

This is totally anecdotal but I have 3 teenagers and I think the most important thing is keeping up with what's going on in their lives and taking an active interest in making sure they are emotionally equipped to deal with the problem

Not everything is written in books or taught in classes, even the most accomplished genius is going to have gaps. Depending on the person and they're penchant for studying outside of the curriculum, those gaps could be relatively small

Why are you still beating this drum? I agree they were not totally truthful but it seems like an altruistic motive, even with them saying that, hospitals and medical workers were needing to go to extreme lengths to procure masks for their w

Wow, I haven't seen SO_ATTACH_REUSEPORT_CBPF before, I didn't even know it existed. That is a pretty ingenious and powerful primitive to cut down on cross-NUMA chatter. I always like it when folks push things to the extreme, it re

I was going to say this myself and it's the exact reason I left all social media platforms. So many times I came away feeling bad about myself, I can do that plenty on my own, I don't need digital help.

I totally agree with this and for a entry-level job, with no experience, I would be totally cool with ignoring the degree is the person was right. For a manager or higher level engineer, I believe some amount of prior experience is necessar

I think the big difference here is there is no money behind hacking the Switch, it's an interesting problem to a small(ish) subset of people. There's tons of folks that would make actual hard cash off those hacks which will make t

I live in Washington state and already under a single provider, Comcast, and it sucks, I pay $120 a month for unlimited gigabit which tops out at 400Mpbs if I'm lucky, and often cannot support a zoom call with video. I, for one, am thr

I think being honest will not affect your career in a negative way. In this particular instance, it could potentially harm this job now, however if telling the truth gets you fired, that is not a place where you want to work. Hearing your b

I don't see this as any reflection on idempotency as principle (or other principles in general). Building systems poorly, without a plan, and no testing, will result in a bug-riddled mess, regardless of what pattern is being used.

Could this potentially drive users to the Amazon fork? If I'm a business that may be impacted due to the licensing change, it would seem my safest (legal) option would be to freeze on the last version with a friendly license and then t

I'm not concerned about not getting another interview with the particular company I applied with, they are a dime a dozen, and gambled with burning that bridge at the time. I think what I didn't account for was the possibility of

Being originally from the South in the US, I prefer "y'all", it's nicely gender neutral and while plural, I can overlook that and use it in the singular as well.

Most of my searching is through the firefox address bar so I didn't notice, I just kept coming up on empty search pages. It did not compute at first, I must have done 3-4 searches before I realized what was happening.

As a counter-anecdote, my friend from Australia was blown away at the quality of beef in the US. I'm not saying either person is right or wrong, however it does seem to be somewhat subjective.

Using something else does potentially widen the audience. Being able to compile/run on a variety of platforms alone has value.

Purely a personal anecdote and single data point, however I would not recommend going to the coaching sessions in order to gauge the type/difficulty of the questions you will be asked in the interview. I've done this before and it
