The memo doesn't explicitly say 'jail time', just that Snap will pursue all possible legal remedies against the leaker. I definitely think Amazon has a similar policy, as well as possibly some other tech companies. This doesn

Considering people frequently drink in casinos, I'm ok with people being reminded that they have a gun on them.

Agreed. The paper treated having a Microsoft-only sample as being good since it's a "large sample size", but the skill set of an engineer can be perceived as good or bad at different sizes of companies, and not addressing tha

As far as I understand, ISPs can recognize that you're using a VPN and then slow all of your traffic, instead of affecting your connection to an individual site.

I agree. He could just redirect to a blank page but this puts him in a really bad light. I wouldn't care except I frequently browse HN at work when I'm getting settled in in the morning.

You're right that SF is more theoretical. I guess I was curious if the benefit of the book comes from being newly exposed to a dependently-typed language in general or the actual topics of the book, if that makes sense. It sounds like

This looks like a nice book but I'm wondering if the overhead of learning Idris on top of Coq (which I'm familiar with) would have any benefits - would you say it's different enough from Software Foundations?

Your journal club sounds cool. Is there a list somewhere of the past papers you read?

I also really dislike the move. What's a good alternative though? If I use something like Paypal to pay the creators directly, I would think Paypal would take a similar cut.

Is this before/after taxes? The problem is if you live in SF vs Austin, the sales taxes are similar but California's income tax will take 10-15k off the top. After that, you have to think about cost of rent. I'm currently deb

Netflix does a lot of work on reliability/availability and are known for being good at it - they've actually open-sourced a lot of their tooling too.

Not only that, but by now I've figured out that the comment sections of most sites are toxic with little, if any, moderation. HN has a good moderation set-up, respectful members, etc. I try to avoid even reading the comments of other w

Yeah! The first time I had heard of Robert Morris was in that book. I didn't know the author's active on YouTube - I'm definitely going to look him up.

Yeah, I thought the list was supposed to be satirical/humorous but it sounds like the author of the article was really trying to follow the virtues. Am I missing something?

eating - I think that's why Soylent was so popular. People liked the idea of drinking a meal while working/multi-tasking. I'm not 100% into it, especially since I'd prefer something with a better ratio of protein, but I

Exactly. Especially since the linked interview was conducted as a series of _text messages_ -- it seems like that was the 'hook' of the interview, with all the emojis/text abbreviations used. Looking at the other interviews

You're right, and I was wrong before - the example of "If X was a true Y, they would do what I say all Ys should do" seems like it might be related to No True Scotsman but it's definitely different. It seems like the fal

We have similar rules for keeping your desk clear, electronics in your bag. I think the difference is having people walking the floor, which isn't effective if you only have 1 professor watching 50 people, in my opinion. It's also

This is exactly it, in my opinion. It's much easier to catch cheating by running homework code through something like MOSS than relying on a human TA to catch that 2 handwritten math assignments are exactly alike. I TAed both CS and Ma

That would be amazing! I'm personally trying to figure out the EU visa process and keep getting lost trying to understand the most viable way to get a job/visa. I'm definitely going to keep your site bookmarked!

I don't have a lot of software experience -- what's the motivation for creating a tool that removes comments? Aren't (well-written) comments normally good to have in the source code?

Can I ask which company it was? I'm making a mental list of companies to try to interview with once I graduate, and having offices sounds amazing.

Those are really good points -- the design aspects occurred to me as well but not enough to see the difference. That's also really cool about team independence at Amazon. It seems like it'd be a good way to combat people feeling l
