That's surprising for me to hear (as a non-Ruby/Rails guy that doesn't know that sub-market), given how many massively successful startups were built on Rails. I get that Rails isn't the hot new thing anymore, but Airbnb

HFT firms require lots of domain knowledge on top of “just” C++. Those quants are elite mathematicians and highly knowledgeable in finance in addition to being great at C++ (or OCaml). I would say that C++ expertise is often actually “under

Your best counter-example is an irrational authoritarian regime unnecessarily inflicting misery on its people. Way to prove the point.

So a bunch of stuffy government agencies looking to continue the justification of their prior mistakes. Got it. Stop being a dork. COVID is over.

Is this COVID-driven? How sad. Pretty weird seeing “MIT ID (Covid Pass)” in almost-2023. Does MIT know that the rest of the world is over it? That most countries have no entry measures now? When do the smart kids just start saying “no” and

Street view is not an ultra-HD map for autonomous driving. Cruise isn’t using street view, or anything so primitive and easy to collect in comparison, to navigate SF. And it doesn’t scale in and of itself without being backed by a search ad

Ultimately a job at Apple is the pinnacle for most engineers. You aren’t doing anyone any favors by kicking this racial bias / affirmative action anywhere else down the chain, or onto a different ladder, whether it be in tech, physics,

Why do you feel like neighborhoods need to be static in terms of racial composition, forever? Science is science? Okay then. Is tech tech? It seems that there are more white and Asian people in tech, and Apple is hiring in RDU. Should they

Yep. That’s pretty much the case. They are functionally the same for 99% of users.

How are non engineers graded then? Is it just the “GitHub metrics” of merged LoC? I know architects that spend most of their time writing design docs. Does that not get measured as a deliverable? That’s literally their job
