My rep was able to get me connected to a few tech leads on various cloud products and one time when we were hitting weird quota limits the team protectively reached out to me to ask what the heck we were doing. Maybe we were just lucky, but

I know it’s just anecdotal, but once you have some spend (around 1k a month I’m guessing), you get an account executive who I’ve been able to reach on the phone whenever I’ve needed. In fact they tried talking to me on the phone more than I

A little later in the 80's and not necessarily dealing with the PDP-8, but there's The Cuckoo's Egg, which is a first-person account of the hunt for a computer hacker who broke into a computer at the Lawrence Berkeley Nationa

It should be noted that Binance is planning on offering proof-of-reserves[1], which supposedly would be a signed Merkle tree of liquidity proofs. --- 1: https://twitter.com/cz_binance/status/1590055819416330240?s=.

I had my mortgage application (already pre-approved) delayed and finally denied on what was supposed to be day of closing. For some reason they decided that since I owned more than 15% of the (Delaware C-Corp) company they had to attribute

Absolutely, having very focused packages helps from an external consumer perspective as well. Interfaces can help if you have multiple things that all implement the same functionality or you need to mock out for testing, but often times peo

This is a horrible idea that will eventually make the situation of cyclical dependencies even worse. Hitting cyclical dependencies is an indication that the code base is not being built in a composable fashion with layers depending on other

You might not be aware, but Python is just the thin shim on top of extensively optimized libraries written in C/C++, so you’re not missing out much in the way of performance.

Anything I see on a resume I consider fair game to dig into in an interview. If you aren’t able to get into the weeds on it it’s pretty much a no hire unless you absolutely blew me away elsewhere which honestly is super rare (800+ interview

I think the key point here is that everyone starts as a bad boss. In startups, and often times in midsize companies there is no training. One day you’re just a people manager with no guidance on how to do it and the expectation that you don

Namely they can’t negotiate the strike price for obvious legal reasons. Keep in mind the 409A valuation is not what the investors in the previous round paid, it’s usually based more on the formula grounded in reality and less on hype. I wou

At a certain point everything you build is on the shoulders of others. You didn’t invent the language you’re coding in, you didn’t write the libraries and frameworks you’re using. What you did do is integrate them in novel ways to create a

Start with 2400 million, invest half with founders who have crazy ideas to fix the environment. Should be done in 8-10 months.

While I agree with you for in-person communication, sarcasm and cynicism generally don't translate well to a text-based medium. This is why there exists Irony Punctuation[1] such as /s 1: https://en.wikipedia.org/w

Part of me feels like this is actually somewhat a feature. It's like a research implementation of an economy that iterates more rapidly than the current economy. What if the real value in all of this is finding out mechanisms to bake c

Both PRs getting merged and issues getting closed within the last week leads me to believe that is not the case.

You’re missing one of the fundamental parts of engineering here: trade offs. Perhaps first start memory consumption hasn’t been a priority yet. Maybe the system pre-allocates memory to speed up later tasks and VS will have a larger memory f

You kind of already touched on one of the main reasons: there’s a regulatory framework in place for an IPO in their operating jurisdiction. There is still a lot of ambiguity and regulation to come for ICO’s and they (rightfully) don’t want

That really isn’t a fact. It was created to be easy to learn such that junior software engineers or people coming from other languages could get to writing effective code in a short period of time. Neither of those groups are sub-par.

Some companies offer tuition assistance programs, which may or may not be applicable to student loans. Shouldn’t be anything wrong with asking about that benefit.
