A good whiteboard problem is geared towards understanding how the candidate thinks and how well they can communicate ideas rather than total correctness. I’ve been the interviewer on a few whiteboard problems, all of which I’ve prefaced wit

I love this concept and is why my current designs are littered with E-keyed M.2 ports and the only real I/O is on my board are USB-C and a few USB-As. The advantage is that I can supplement built-in peripherals with USB devices until I

This is standard-faire, weaponized pedantry. Yes, R&D is inefficient, but all of us know this is not the point (unless of course, the research is focused on improving efficiency). Once a process and result is identified, it’s performanc

One long-term project I’m planning is actually a fully open source desktop computing platform. While originally meant as a learning project, I realized a few years ago Ben Eater[0] has done this in a way far superior to anything I could cre

With more and more stuff requiring online enrollment and access, getting a decades-old email account with everything in your life attached to, the surface area for potential life disruption is going to be similar to being canceled. We disco

I’m imagining a dystopian future where to KYC gets way out of control and you are required to undergo a credit, background, and reference check to make an account on a major platform. My guess is that as more of the internet turns to shit t

I agree that this is the hardest part, and you’ve pointed out the reason why developer tools seem to be over represented in startups. For this reason, I mentioned to check job listings and see what responsibilities they are looking to hire

It’s been a while since physics for me, but I was under the impression that this only really applies when pressure is greater inside the solid shape. In this case, it seems roughly equivalent to pulling a vacuum inside a soda can at sea lev

I think OP’s point here is that you, in general, have more flexibility as a free agent. The trade-off is that the nature of your work changes to include lead gen and salesmanship to initially get those jobs, and active relationship manageme

The advice in this article is fairly solid and has been said and done quite a lot. Like many general-business advice articles posted here, it does seem to lack substance or really any actionable advice, so here is some based on my own exper

There are plenty of opportunities for a business that don’t require conforming to some standard. You also don’t hear about the multitude of businesses that had no problem selling to other businesses, only the times where it didn’t go as pla

I doubt people are actively giving less value or worth to places that appear smaller on the map. Additionally, the majority of people just don’t have a concrete frame of reference of distances beyond how far we can see. As such, the only re

That is my goal as I return to better physical fitness! I live in a place with excellent bicycle infrastructure and I’m working on building my stamina again with shorter, 10-ish mile per day stints.

For me, traveling by train vs solo road trip are completely incomparable. I don’t feel as engaged on the train and much of my time is spent trying to pass by the time faster rather than just taking in the scenery. By contrast, driving solo

I don’t disagree with the idea that code-switchers introduce new vocabulary to the general public at all, in fact, the two terms describe a word or phrase at different phases of its journey to integration within a language. In other words,

Reddit is popular for many reasons but one reason for engagement among multiple communities (subs) stands out above the rest: the cost to join is a single button. You are already logged in and all you need to is discover communities that al

There is very little in the blogosphere of 2023 that isn’t just some rando’s hot takes or a regurgitated idea that consists of a few Wikipedia pages sent through a word spinner. The truly interesting blogs are those who are written by known

The concept of “serverless” is just based around trying to recreate a cgi from a long-running process application. Like you pointed out, we have had this since mod_php.

The quality of this article feels kind of dubious. There are ideas here that have some merit but some of the background smells like it was generated. That aside, I’m a little put off by the grouping of containers and serverless as if they e

Car dealerships should not exist. The fact they have a lobby trying to get laws passed to save them should be a very clear signal that they are in trouble. Global car makers would love to sell directly. Again, why are there laws forbidding
