I can tell you right now I have seen 3-4 principal “architects” who don’t know how to write simple tests and all of them were external hires. I absolutely respect any company that requires experienced hires to at a minimum understand how a

This right is here is someone on HN being the paragon of objectivity. How about taking the opposing argument in good faith? He didn’t even say anything about racism in the article and just gave evidence. The second someone mentions racism o

I tend to think the only sane path is a type error and anything else is arbitrary. It isn’t that hard to have converters which make sense in a standard library. isNone, isNil ..

After reading about stable coins they seem completely idiotic. I get the idea that pegging it to the dollar via arbitrage is great and all, but arbitrage only seems to work (like in ETFs for instance) when the underlying assets have value a

When reading it, it sounds bad, but it’s actually what a lot of big companies do.

It can end with whatever criteria you want. I think clearly a viral video with this behavior fits the definition of something that should be taken down. It’s a guy deliberately crashing a plane for views. It’s the same thing as not publishi

I don’t know about you, but I imagine someone who after googling a couple questions about my field and holding up the results as fact would be pretty annoying to someone like me who has spent 6+ years studying said field. New ideas are grea

Not sure when you worked there, but I’ve seen that you have to enter a number that’s displayed on the device logging in, and the authenticator app shows the location of the device attempting to login as well.

Prices are a function of number of market participants and information of each participant. If insider trading is legal, fewer people will participate in the market because they will lose out due to information asymmetry and this will lea

I get anxious as well, not to the degree you do but I often need to take the rest of the day off after 1-2 interviews and have to prep the morning to help calm myself down. I usually run in the morning and eat a banana an hour before. The w

For me it just wasn’t as bad as I thought. I do miss hanging out with my coworkers but now if we’re local we just hang out. Being able to commute from bed is just so much nicer. And also being able to take guilt free ad hoc breaks during th

Yeah following this to its logical conclusion actually results in a pretty depressing outlook. I used to feel this way when I first graduated college, now I’ve learned that there can definitely be meaning in our experience. Also scientists

I would hope they at least have basic CI to catch issues like this.

Reading about how they trimmed meetings and had everyone question where their time is going is like wow, they weren’t doing this before? We are so cult like in our commitment to 9-5 that we make useless meetings and have the default be an h

I work at MS not in gaming. I actually may be okay with this. I think Microsoft’s incentives are to grow gamepass subscriptions, which may work with this play anywhere mantra. I have my doubts that Xbox will not be seeing dollar signs thoug

The key is to have dummy trucks with no money driving staggered schedules. That will keep them occupied. Real talk though those audio recordings of the police commenting that “that’s all they got” has no place in this country.

Personally I think a video with drink acid in the title seems a little more dangerous than videos properly named with people pouring ice water on each other, especially for children.

I highly recommend reading the book “Sapiens” by Harari. The premise is that society is essentially collective psychosis. To me it’s on upper management to plan accordingly. If we are able ship products in the time allotted, the number of h

I currently work at Microsoft, and all I can say is that I actually have so much respect for CEOs lately. It takes a huge amount of foresight and understanding of human nature to move a company this size in the right direction, because you’

This looks great! I’m happy with my ergodox ez, but now that kinesis has a split keyboard with qmk support it’s nice to see the competition in this space.

Your assertion about transmission is definitely not proven. It all comes down to an expected value. An unvaccinated symptomatic individual will shed a lot more virus than a vaccinated asymptomatic one. It would probably take fewer encounter

“Evolutionary pressure” doesn’t really exist if the virus doesn’t get a chance to replicate. The virus is trying to find a mutation which bypasses the vaccine, the more chances it gets the better. This is why people talk about animal reserv

It’s been well established that covid is dangerous for unvaccinated older people. I don’t think cnn is the reason for being afraid of a global pandemic which kills older people, especially if this was before the vaccine was available.

I’ve noticed this is very prevalent in industries and academia where there are very few spots with oceans of people trying to “make it” into said spots. For example, academia is absolutely insane how insular it is. The communities of expert

By this logic I can’t invite my friends over to listen to it either though right? That seems like it should be legal. I thought there was some legal threshold where it is no longer personal use but I could be wrong

they do have the godforsaken visit function which requires you to write the lambda syntax for each variant type, I end up writing chained if’s 99% of the time because it’s clearer.
