Why isn't Robin stepping in and fixing their mistake? They should cover the misappropriated funds. Not Upwork and not the author.

I'd argue that most python programs couldn't do the same in a year under older constraints. It's objectively more difficult to write 6502 assembly than it is to write python. Modern computers have opened programming up to mor

I'm really enjoying my first 4 months at Two Sigma as a senior SRE with promises of movement into the management track. Nearly everyone is extremely highly skilled. It's not like most past jobs where a handful of people are highly

I'd argue $100/hr isn't enough for that work, but sounds about right from what I've seen. Whereas I've done a java, scala, kafka, spark, postgres job and easily gotten $150/hr, and that work isn't anywhere

I'm not in the hardware engineering space but in advertising and finance common languages seem to pay more: java, python, ruby javascript. In my 20 some years working I've never worked a project where my ability to code in C was

I just bought a Friendlyarm r4s two port gigabit rk3399 4GB linux SBC for $90 USD. It supposedly has hardware acceleration for networking. Though I see 910 Mbps vs the 950Mbps I was getting with the ATT router. I was able to acquire my EAP

They're talking about MoCA, multimedia over coax. The standard is from 2006 and runs over regular household rg59 or rg6 coax. That being said, I've worked with 10base5. Drilling for a vampire tap in an open elevator shaft is its o

An AirTag is small and thin. So it's probably piezo speaker. Could you damage the speaker with a needle or similar through the sound hole?

I interviewed with a company out of SV that did this. They started with 3, added another 3, one hour interviews and finally another 3. 9 interviews over the course of almost a month. I was being interviewed for a principal engineer. I was v

The "right" answer in this context is the one that gets you the job, not the most technically and factually correct.

I read the tone as insecurity. Hey look at me, I figured this out. Aren't I smart? All these previous people are dumb. Right? Right!? RIGHT!?!

From my experience I found the ideas of move semantics from modern C++ directly relatable to ownership and move vs borrow. I also found the FP ideas from Scala, pattern matching, combinators, result and option monads directly useful in rust

I find it easier to either use conditional compilation or traits for test substitutes. Using dynamic dispatch for it is more trouble than it's worth IMO.

I implemented a simple blog and resume personal web site using rust. I did it mostly as an exercise. I tried just jumping in and had a lot of trouble. I needed to go back and read the rust book. What I found was relatable to what I knew fro

I was surprised at the level of analysis and optimization here. Just running flame graph and saying "I think IO is slow" isn't going to cut it. Let's break out a profiler and dig in to the output. And also try some Java

Code review is not enough. Especially when you're dealing with a culture of "rubber stamped reviews." Good code reviews are a net positive but may not always be in place. Getting them on a team that isn't doing them is y

Maybe I missed it but there's no mention of denormalizing strategies or data cubes, fact tables and dimension tables. Structuring your data closer to how its going to be analyzed us vital for performance. It also gives you the opportun
