I think everyone's mostly faking it. At least in my experience even the people posting this drivel on LinkedIn and brown nosing for a promotion are totally normal and self-aware when you develop an actual outside-of-work connection wit

Yep, hence the loss of 25% of their market cap today haha.

I'm still a Facebook user (over 30, with kids, friends all over the world, and lots of groups that I care about), but the Reels thing is making me seriously consider leaving for good. It's awful, cringeworthy intrusive clickbaity

I think it depends on the person. I have worked on "fun" tech at startups but ended up coming back to my role as a cog in Google's money printing machine (ad plumbing AND content moderation in fact!) The retention in my group

This hits home. I've been working remotely ever since we moved away from LA, largely because the traffic situation there was just unbearable. I don't even know how people with kids do it, since it takes hours to drive a few miles

Oh man, getting obsessed with TI-82 BASIC in middle school is definitely the reason I have the career and life I do today. I remember after years of dealing with ~36 variable slots and all the other insane limitations, my parents got me a T

I have heard this criticism of Nvidia w.r.t. Linux before, so I feel like I must be missing something. Working with Nvidia cards has been easy for the last ~5 years -- literally just install their drivers, `apt install nvidia-cuda-toolkit`

Are you a subsidiary or otherwise related to https://getdivvy.com ?

I 100% agree with this, but would add that actually in my case I feel like it has helped with Silicon Valley style interviews. Architecting a single BEAM application involves a lot of the same thought processes that go into designing any re

Easiest way is probably to get a job at a company working a language that forces you to write recursive algorithms. I started my career at a startup where everything was Erlang, and a year of that made FAANG interviews a breeze with all the

Everyone called it GChat, and the ~5 people I still communicate with on it still do.

Oh, I remember doing this - the Garment District? Looks like they are still around.

It's absolutely nothing like autopilot. Source: I've owned a Tesla for the past three years and I drove a friend's brand new Outback a couple months ago. Autopilot is smooth, easy to use, and lets you basically "monitor&

No, it should be (and basically is) based on the distribution of salaries available to that employee in the market she or he has access to. This means locally available jobs, as well as remote ones within a couple timezones/with compat

That rings true to me - mostly just due to the companies present. I was near $400k in CA, and now around $200k here in Utah. But frankly, the lifestyle you can afford here on two >$100k salaries is ridiculous.

SLC is a great deal more diverse than it was 10 years ago. As an anecdote I moved here four years ago and I've overheard conversations in more and more different languages as I walk around the downtown area. My circle of friends is pro

I hate to say it because Alta is maybe my favorite place on earth, but I just avoid them now. We moved up to Summit Park area (just over the pass, in Park City school district) and ski Canyons, plus a lot of backcountry in the Wasatch back.

Totally agree with this as a non-Mormon living in Utah. The culture is pervasive -- largely in a good way IMO. We moved here from California (ahem, sorry for filling up your mountains and desert) and love it. It's totally normal to hav

In my niche at least (ML, data engineering) one of the main reasons to go with a Linux laptop instead of MacOS is so that you can run GPU accelerated ML workloads (i.e. CUDA) in development without shipping all your data to the cloud. I&#x2

I've found that Kubernetes mostly solves this problem. I say mostly because for AI/ML workloads that require GPUs, we still rely on running things on bare metal locally, and deploying with GKE's magic annotations and Deep Lea

This is still (well, pre-COVID) pretty true! Coffee Garden and Publik at 9th and 9th are great places to hang out and chat and I'd feel weird pulling a laptop out. And there are lots of new arrivals, most of which feel more like commun

This is scary. I’m trying to understand - I have several Trello accounts, one that I use for my own personal work and some consulting clients, and several other accounts with @client.com emails. Does this mean that if I have my personal acc

This looks incredible but as other posters have noted, is sold out everywhere. Any recommendations for similar products that might be available?

Thanks! I was not aware of this and it looks fantastic. Is it in the roadmap to target GCP, or even just a generic Kubernetes cluster?

Is there any equivalent of TF Serving for PyTorch? We have been thrilled with how robust and easy it is to deploy our models to production on the TF stack, and it worries me that the inertia in the deep learning community seems to be toward

I've been working with Elixir (and often Phoenix) since nearly its beginning, and I recently took a project that involved some interop with MSSQL. It has been tenable, but not a great experience. I'm not even using Ecto, just htt

Not OP, but my wife and I were pretty avid climbers before having kids (we have a 2 year old now). To be brutally honest, I haven't climbed since he was born with the exception of a few gym sessions where we got a babysitter. I've

The only thing keeping me on Python 2.7 is Apache Beam, but it's becoming increasingly painful and I'm close to just using a different technology rather than deal with making all my code py2 compatible in 2019...
