Algorithm-puzzle computer science interviews are hard to prep for. They take a long time to learn. Then, most of the time, when people get hired for engineering roles that use them for interviewing - you find that you spend exactly 0% of yo

You might find them interesting, but I guarantee you many people do not. Many find them... well, something like programming trivia. Some people love going to trivia night! Get some friends, get quizzed on some stuff, feel smart. Lots of peo

Yes. Yes they are. On some teams. On other teams, they put out revolutionary products/developer tools. It comes back to management, and talent self-selecting itself. Truly talented people won't be content to waste their career, an

Probably. If the network grows, more nodes will be added as the demand increases (because the nodes who open the channels, get paid a small amount of money. Very small, but still something). You can run your own nodes, and get paid to open

Honestly, I'd be pissed too if I was Zuck. I'm a goddamn billionaire - if I invite you to the meeting, idgaf what you are doing unless someone died - get on this goddamn Zoom call. And even then, they better have been important! D

Ironically, they were smart to acquihire you. It seems like management was aware their employees were bums, and needed your companies energy to infuse some productivity into their lifestyle. Looks like it failed though.

If Andreas Reuter and Theo Härder didn't want people to make any jokes and live humorless lives, they would have named it DICA. Or CIDA. But no, they named the concept ACID. Why do you think they did that? Do you really think they aren

Much better. But still slow. Check out the lightning network, and the link I posted above for an example of how fast lightning network transactions are.

… Bitcoin? Well, only if the transactions are substantial - otherwise you are getting bones by transaction fees. You can run your own Lightning node - check out https://stacker.news for an example of proof of concept.

Maybe it’s not the employees fault, but the management who hired them… or maybe it’s the fact that it takes forever to get anything done at FAANG nowadays. Or maybe, just maybe, interviewing based on esoteric computer science problems isn’t

Google just salty because cool young people want the blue. Only old, ugly people use Android. … believe it or not, this is how young people think. When I was single, it was rare to find a hot girl I was interested in use Android. Now, maybe

I’ve done almost exactly what you bought the Oculus for - results were promising, but not good enough currently. Reason: resolution is too small. Hard to truly see the code, even when I bought lens inserts that matched my prescription. I re

'John Romero is about to make you his bitch'. I also think that the massive failure of Daikatana helped people see that attaching your reputation to a game might not be the best idea.

Hollywood is a city of ego. Lots of have developers are too humble to insist on serving as the marketing vehicle for their work - they want the work to speak for itself.

Put a link to your Bitcoin public key and tell them to send you $500 or however much you want. If they don't want to... tell them to send a PR themselves.

It's not an unreasonable scenario. But yes, some 50/50 coin flip assumptions have been made.

Price is going to go down some more too. As the economy slowly but surely enters recession, and low net worth HOLDers sell their BTC to pay rent, the price will continue to go down. This system only works if people pump money into the syste

It exists dude. You just have to move to a tech hub like Seattle, SF, Miami, Austin - and then ruthlessly weed out companies that aren't in the office. You will likely need to work in a smaller startup, 5-50 employees who are in a smal

I was recently tasked to build a mobile app at my work, that would have maybe 5% of the feature-set of our gargantuan web product. However, this 5% was mission critical. Coming from React-TS, building with Flutter was a bit weird at first (

Great, more cheap stuff from Asia. Let’s send all of our money to owners and managers of sweatshops and dirty factories. I’m a big fan of globalization in general, but this is such a ‘stop hitting yourself’ moment for me. There has to be a

Why has this come back up again, this month? DiD’s are not very useful right now, and self sovereign identity has not even figured out data backups.

I've synthesized an open-source implementation of the I-Ching, an ancient Chinese Divination ritual, which many call a predictive system for reality. You can read a bit more information on the blog post introducing it: https:/&#x
