It basically depends how the chip designers laid out the device! Here is an example of a digital design of an ALU http://www.csc.villanova.edu/~mdamian/Past/csc2400fa13/assig...

Maybe try switching to another field in engineering - software development is certainly the most remote friendly discipline. Mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, civil engineering, there are lots of great on-site careers and they

Also, a better monitor can improve my job performance which can lead to better reviews! Working effectively is important to your own bottom line.

As an encyclopedia sure wikipedia is great but the type of data Google and Meta has is totally different. Basically a real time feed of who is talking to who about what, and what people are searching for. Totally different applications

Direct observations? It seemed like anecdotes to me! Crime can certainly increase in some areas but I think overall we are down from decades ago

I think that may be fair to bring up in an interview but I don't think it's fair to be biased against a candidate. What you see as red tape may be important safety and quality steps in that industry. A good engineer should be able

Comments like this just come across bitter and jealous. There are many reasons to work at big tech. One big one for me personally was the opportunity for growth. I've generally felt there was a ceiling at small companies I've work

Hiring is significantly down but not completely frozen. It really depends what team you are talking about! Just by the numbers it is probably harder to get an offer- but if you can get an interview that would certainly be good practice. I t

Leetcode explore helped me pass a few coding rounds! I recommend taking one track at a time until it sinks in before moving to the next one.

This was a point that was brought up after the Meta layoffs. Yes the executives lost a lot of money before the layoffs - but they also benefited the most from the post layoff bounce! And none of them were laid off…

I think it should be clarified as a "flop" versus sky-high expectations. Plant-based options have exploded in the past few years, and not just for meats but dairy too. I often get vegan options (lactose intolerant) and find it mu

You’re a better person than me! My parents were also abusive and I haven’t spoken to them in years. Even just thinking about them gets me sad and upset still. No way I’d send a dollar their way!

I only use one pedal in stop and go or city driving. Otherwise it's harder to maintain smooth speeds and is less efficient than just coasting.

Hmm, it doesn't seem to recognize "Egyptian Hieroglyph D053", no matter how accurately I draw it!

It really depends what team you're on! My little corner of megacorp is fast, pretty lean, and I definitely feel like I am able to make an impact on our product (which is a smaller product in the company). I feel much better here than a

Nope, at least here there is our own homemade version of containers. And the idea of running anything local is not really realistic anyways!

I've found the best way to deal with these types of disagreements is focussing on the requirements. You have one set of requirements in your head (code maintenance, reliability, simplicity) and they have another set in their heads (op

Is there a better alternative to South (built-in now) for migrations? I always had issues but figured it was the de facto for a reason.

Cash is king. With interest rates high, if you can pay cash for anything like a car or house there may be good deals. Right now supply is tight so prices are still high, but we'll see if that continues.

Exactly this. Saving is very important, but also spend money on things that are meaningful to you now.

I think a lot of big tech companies are getting into hardware in order to diversify and help build a platform to support future online components. Meta has AR and VR, Google has Nest and Fitbit, Apple obviously makes tons of hardware, Amazo

I keep only semi-valuable documents in the honeypot safe. Things like flex spending account receipts, password to my personal github account, and free car-wash vouchers.

I enjoy using my quest pro on the couch or in bed - it is a great way to watch shows on Netflix or play stationary games like Tetris or Cubism. Forget about 25", it is more like a full projector-size movie on my wall!

We may think coding challenges are easy - but after interviewing many "senior" engineers I've found that it's very helpful to have _some_ sort of coding as part of the interview. Algorithm and Data Structures based ques

I like your breakdown! Mine is pretty similar - 10 years LinkedIn, some leads and interviews but no jobs - ?? years Digg/Reddit: probably just a waste of time (just a lurker) - Facebook, 13 years, some minor use but barely use it now.

That's what I love about vimmers. We all have our preference on something as simple as what the escape key should be :D
