At this point my team mostly hires juniors. We train them on whatever they don't know that they need to know here. We hired a mostly self-taught engineer out of college a year ago (I started ~2mos ago). Had almost no idea about webdev,

This debate will keep happening for years to come, but everyone's just repeating the same talking points over and over. I have to sum up my thoughts like this: I really don't think we're ever going to find a perfect hiring me

>But it’s brimming with radioactivity that will be a health threat for millennia Millennia is a stretch to say the least... I figure we'll have a solution long before then, as long as science is being done.

O/T: One real answer, and multiple bot posts, including one about removing another real person's comment. As a person who doesn't read much Reddit, it leaves a really strange impression. Anyway, the top answer was still a coo

This is missing the point entirely. The point is much closer to: don't worry about art and focus on making the game. People will always get upset about graphics, and will always have their own "suggestions" on how to make you

If you think everyone or even most people commenting on this site are pro-Tesla, I think you're not really reading HN. Either way, the Tesla debates I see are a whole lot like people debating over petty bs like celebrity news, so I u

Kids also need time away from computers, TV, etc., I'd think. Unless they have some condition where they literally can't leave the house, or do much else every day... If you're a normal kid, you should use the opportunity to

I think it's pretty, but it's also very, very, very notification-happy. My icon in my taskbar is almost constantly flashing with stuff I don't need to read, from teams I'm only remotely involved with. I just figured out

Related anecdote: I've always found that I'm able to make clearer judgments about situations, when someone else is going through them. It's much harder when I'm the subject of the story. I guess the difference is that

Thanks for pointing that out. Maybe this is moving the goalposts, but I'm still happy they're at least disclosing the issues and following the mandated procedure, instead of trying to hide it and save face.

"Confesses"? I'm not a fan of everything Twitter does, but this headline is so biased. I'm actually angry now. Twitter is "disclosing" these on their own, afaik, and I take that as a morally good thing. Also, i

Would any Yelpers here care to comment on the issue? I interviewed there in the past, and know friends that work there. When I asked what they thought about the "blackmail" rumors from a while back they just laughed it off, becaus

This comment keeps saying "[rigorous] formal notation" -- are you implying that new mathematicians might lack rigorous mathematical technique, or just that they won't be motivated to communicate their results in a formal way

A lot of people are just linking out to their favorite calc intro instead of commenting on this one. I like it so far, but I already did 2 years of calculus a few years ago, so I'm not learning much. I do appreciate the growing trend o

His books are very far removed from contemporary programming. That said, I would probably read them as a grad student in CS since they're a classic in the field (and Knuth is a funny writer). They introduce you to a lot of math, as wel

Update: So I got drunk instead (which has basically the same effect on me). Programming is math, except in the real world you have to deal with countless technical and business constraints. So unsurprisingly, theory != practice. The substan

I mean, the college math I had was: calc 1-3 and differential equations (4 classes total), and probability/statistics (1 class). I didn't have to take linear algebra, but I got a good enough understanding from calc and my algorith

You know, a lot of users would be more ok with change if it was demoed to them first, or given a heads-up, or they were given an opportunity to give feedback that co's actually use, and improve the product. A lot of people I know wou

This is relatively O/T, but I've always been skeptical of the general concept of growing yourself in top tech companies. Seems like the overall idea is just to grow yourself professionally, do more and work harder for your custome
