Maybe, but C++ developers who haven't worked at hedge funds before wouldn't know it from this advert, and probably won't apply.

Actually, in this instance, there a discussion to be had about the (lack of) management skills among CEOs who've never had a job. There is another possible discussion about CEOs saying what they really think, which is always rare. BTW,

Off topic : Twitter submissions tend to really struggle to make the HN front page despite many upvotes. I assume the HN algorithm is heavily biased against the bird site ; I'm not too sure it's such a great thing.

Don't do it, it's not good behaviour. Or be extremely clear that you're just fishing.

The EU should adopt this.

Nowhere does it say that they don't intend to comply.

There's adverse selection at play in FAANG hiring, but I think it goes like this : any ambitious engineer would wants to "make a dent in the universe" is never going to spend months studying LC, system design, or whatever to

The FAANG paradox : these companies all have this performance-intensive culture with the gruelling interview, "perf cycles", promotion processes, OKRs, etc... to ensure all engineers function at the top of their capacity. At the s

A bit specialized, but I don't get much inbound interest as a software developer for hardware projects.

No need to reboot the machine without warning, and lose data, when the rest of the kernel is probably still functional.

It used to be way worse than that, but yes you're right.

Hi ! I am ever so grateful for all the work you've put in over all these years, to get the Clojure ecosystem where it is today. What I am kinda saying is that Clojure would be in a better place if it was paying people like you a lot mo

by pyb 4y ago
What I mean is that you can only maybe compare them in a vacuum. For a concrete given task, "is Clojure or Rust better" rarely comes up because there is little overlap in application domains. For instance, one domain where Clojure

I mean compared to a few years ago. I tried setting up a new project after 1 or 2 years away from the ecosystem, and struggled a lot : all existing templates to set up new projects (esp. with CLJ/CLJS combined) had bitrotten and were n

I think the reason Rishi didn't sway Conservative party members is mostly 1., But you're not supposed to say it out loud. Truss was very much a nonentity until last month

Clojure is not dead, the core language is still very strong, but the dev experience has been degrading IME. This is due to a lack of heavy corporate backing and investment, probably by choice. Taking a PL to the mainstream is very expensiv

In a few words, PM Truss's first economic measures indicate that she's ideologically-driven and has no idea what she's doing. Namely, cutting taxes for the rich in hope that maybe some economic boost will "trickle-down&q

Yes that's another great one. Often shown on French TV as one of the more "modern" Rohmers, and because viewers tend to appreciate the aesthetics of that film (Brittany, M. Poupaud)
