That doesn’t make any sense. You’re implying that they’re just lending to people with the best credit scores. Which definitioally makes these not subprime loans.

OP has clarified that it’s total comp and not base salary, as I had assumed. This is absolutely not out of the norm for engineering compensation at publicly traded companies. Levels.fyi has all of that data readily available.

Why? Because it’s higher than you’re used to seeing? You don’t even know what role that person was applying for. Is your position that 380k is just “too high”, period? That number (or higher) has been the norm at a huge swath of stable and

Yes we can “what if” the situation to death but that’s not really of much use to anyone. The phones being described are presumably stationary without anyone throwing anything on the pile, since we’re talking about an exam environment.

Ha. You’re proving OP’s point without realizing it. Replace “Paris” with “New York City” and your statements are equally true.

Asking for schools to go backwards on technology is kind of the opposite of what we want. Schools already get enough flack for not preparing students for “the real world”.

Highly disagree. We all have things that cost money that we don’t think about every 10 seconds. Even your own example, leaving your phone while on a business trip is fine. But having it in a box a few feet away is somehow anxiety inducing b

In some ways it's a rule that only bad code gets shipped. I find that heuristic helpful in my day job.

Yes true, but my point is more that the headline is purposefully catchy (which is fine, it's a headline) but the actual content is not really noteworthy in any way except that "cryptocurrency failing" gets people's atten

“Small startup closes after running out of money” is not a terribly catchy headline I guess.

Pretty sure this holds no water if you observe past trend lines. Even if it did, the %s being lost right right are significantly higher than in any recent year. But hey, it rhymes.

You're not wrong - Electron has 2 processes per "app" (1 chromium 1 nodejs) that need to communicate w/ each other and they do that via the traditional network stack/local sockets. That part won't change AFAICT

BASIC was my first language and VB6 was shortly after my first intro to GUI programming. I tend to agree with all your points, but I've never been able to fully convince myself that VB6 was just objectively "good" or if it wa

You’re describing basically any period of time since the turn of the century. Maybe before too. You’re also describing problems that adults worry about, not teenagers. It’s a fallacy to think that we’re living in “extraordinary” times relat

I love Sentry. It’s just so good. If anyone out there is listening, bring back extra context! Being able to tag my events with key values was amazing but you guys deprecated it :(

I don’t think you’re wrong in your observation (though perhaps a bit hyperbolic in the doom) but I’m perplexed why you think there’s “no way out”. Software is malleable, people are generally smart. It may take longer than you hope it does b

> Formula 1 cars average speeds between 220 and 230MPH during a Grand Prix, This must be a typo. Maybe kph? 220mph is maybe like a theoretical max speed, but certainly not an average over a race.

This is objectively false. The vast, vast majority of homeowners do not foreclose ever. It’s no more “servitude” than paying the person who holds the note to rent from them instead of holding the note directly. You’re responsible for mainte

Disagree that it's a close proxy. Not being able to perform at all is much different than feeling uncomfortable about people hearing you do said deed.

That's silly. Wanting privacy during our most vulnerable moments is deeply ingrained into our psyche, all the way down to our lizard brains. This is a very real and very legitimate problem to be solved. Surely, you must feel perfectly
