I think (hope?) you're getting downvoted because most folks aren't arguing against giving someone fizzbuzz or seeing if they can loop through a tree, it's the fact that some of these tests gives you what is an obviously O^3 a

I'm very sympathetic to the idea that a more objective test like interview format eliminates bias from the interviewer, as well as the idea it allows introverts or those not as well versed in storytelling to be successful opposed to tr

As someone who grew up and lives on the coast, I had no idea what to expect the first time I visited Louisville a few years back. I was blown away how beautiful it was and how welcoming people were, in addition to it being a fun place to be

I'm a fan of scylla too, but if I could go back in time I'd have recommended waiting until mid 2019 to migrate. 'Fully optimized C++ rewrite's tend to take years to become battle tested.

A bit peculiar they selected a .NET language after running into a lack of libraries in OCaml. I'd be perfectly happy to use C# or F# the language, but I still find .NET lagging behind the JVM/Python/Go ecosystems. Two large

I live in OC now, and have traveled quite extensively as well as spent time working in the Bay. While lacking in Michelin star restaurants (only a handful) it is otherwise phenomenal when it comes to options and quality, even compared to b

Jupyter notebooks are almost a huge step forward for programming. The instant feedback, saving of partial program state, and visualizations mixed in are amazing and fun to work with. The fact that it's taking place in a browser, yo

"Or even Scala" seems false. The majority of Twitter is Scala, Stripe uses Scala extensively, Verizon uses scala for at least a large portion of their TV related code as does Comcast, I could go on. Did it 'take over' t

Do current NLP systems understand arithmetic, and can the do it with unfamiliar numbers they've never seen on? If not, I'd think that your theory is demonstratably false, as a child can extrapolate mathematical axioms from just a

While personal projects are good, even more impressive is contributing features and/or bug fixes to larger open source projects. It's sometimes much more challenging to dive into an existing project, learn their frameworks/st

File ASAP. Even if by the time it goes through you get a job, they'll still pay you for the time you were unemployed. Presumably you already paid into unemployment, get some of that money back now that you need it. Even if it comes

Here's one way to look at TSLA. I see zero chance of Toyota, BMW, Mercedes, Volkswagon, or GM making all of their direct competitors obsolete. With Tesla's massive monopoly on driver data (likely a prerequisite for level 5 automat

Modern Spark is nice enough that I will use it to work with massive excel files locally! If someone can use Pandas they can use Spark, and you get the added benefit of distribution if necessary and more resiliancy. I think it's likely

This seems pretty cool. Would I still get value if I only want to sample performance a few hours a week, say, under high load? Do you allow for that?

Can you explain more? From what I understand, if you're already running a Flink cluster on AWS and you have capacity for another job, you aren't charged more, no? I haven't used Glue, but it seems like it's able to do s

If you're already paying the cost(both engineering time and compute wise) for EMR, I can't imagine it takes more effort to create a new Flink job than a new Glue job? The advantage of Glue or the corresponding serverless GCP ETL o

I think this is a valid point, two projects I'm making heavy use of are both ScyllaDB and Apache Beam. Neither have C# as a supported language. Many big projects roll out drivers for the JVM (Java/Scala/Kotlin compatible), Py

I don't believe PubSub has a way to ensure linearizability between messages, where Kafka does have this by deterministic hashing of keys partitioning. Otherwise yeah, Pubsub looks pretty solid and economical. At my company I'm g

The inflation that matters such as asset prices and real estate aren’t captured by CPI.

The tax code actively discourages savings for a corporation. If a company wants to make 5% on a relatively safe investment, they have to pay the corporate tax rate first , then invest the money. If instead they calculate a business expans
