Is deadlock considered a race condition? I typically think of a race condition an issue with concurrency where data might be modified by another thread which causes the program to return incorrect results.

I wouldn't think of a system that would automate the processing of warranty claims as ML. That's mostly applying the policy/rules to each claim. However, finding defects in aluminum parts that involves using computer vision,

That's probably not a good approach. I would just tell them that they have been working hard and they deserve a break/vacation. If they are worried that they are going to miss out on something, I just try explain that there will b

Perhaps. Another strategy is to stop paying rent and shower at the gym.

> When my team came into their purview they told us they wanted to spend as little time as possible on my team, and I've deferred to that statement. That sounds like a pretty effective way of hurting morale.

Perhaps it already happened, but people don't know because they aren't visiting each other's houses.

That seems like a bad deal for the company. Even though the person is a contractor, you just trained and ramped them up for the last few months. Now, when they are most productive, you are going to let them go, and replace them with somebod

I think it's fair to use this as supporting evidence. If they are assigned tasks that aren't too difficult and they aren't completing them really fast, and there is a PR process in which changes are landed into the repo, then

I agree that this might be a problem, but I'd rather not talk about it.

Yes, I agree. We just post our stand up to a slack channel. I think it's worthwhile process. It doesn't take very much effort, and it keeps everyone loosely in the loop.

If you use Databricks, it's pretty easy to schedule a Databricks notebook to run. AWS EMR also has notebook support, I haven't used it, but it might be possible to schedule those too. You would still have to grant permission to th

I'm pretty sure the Spanish flu did become less deadly over time. I'm sure the virus didn't go away after the second wave, however humanity started developing an immunity to it.

True, but that's 400% over a longer time period.

> It's far better to leave first than to be laid off, if you're sharp. I think it's better to have a good exit strategy, such as another job offer, then get laid off. If you get laid off at a big company, there is usually

> When you bought a house back in 2008 for $300k and now its worth $2M Do you have any examples of this? The Bay Area housing market has had a nice run, but it hasn't grow 666% percent in the last 12 years.

Isn't seagull management where you fly in, shit over everything, then leave. You kind of need to be VP level to pull that off.

Here's another idea, you can ship late. There has to be a really good reason to meet the Monday deadline and it must be really important to the company. In fact it would be so important that the people and departments would know that i

Yes, but they get the majority of their water from the Catskills. Water is delivered using the force of gravity.

Neat. I really like exploring demo data like this. One thing to note is that you have the following the countries: Czech Republic Slovakia Czechoslovakia If people are from Czechoslovakia does that mean the immigrated to the US before the e

Why do you think the Central Valley in CA is a desert? I agree that CA agriculture needs to be more careful with how it uses almonds, but the Valley is not a desert, it's a great place to grow crops.

I think the main idea is what's known as a vacancy tax. If people want to park their money in SF property but not use it, that's fine, they'll just have to pay more.

Yes, paying the maximum that you can to the highest interest rate debt and paying the minimum to all of the lower interest rate debt is the optimal greedy algorithm.

This is true, but it's also a good thing to go to lunch or have coffee with other people. You'll get personal enjoyment out of it, and if you are talking shop, the relationship you build could offset the savings of packing your ow

Yes, I suspect there is some survivorship bias in this analysis.

I don't think that's true. The vast majority of software development jobs require no ML at all. I don't see that changing in the next 10 to 20 years.
