I made the transition from finance to tech about 7 years ago. I had passed the first two levels of the CFA before becoming a software engineer. My first job in tech was at a fintech company. While there I studied for and passed level 3.

I haven’t written Java in my day-to-day for quite some time now, but the first thing that came to mind for a good open source Java codebase is Guava by Google: https://github.com/google/guava It’s a collection of core

I would guess what they want is the ability to link behavior outside of WeChat (e.g. looking at computer monitors on Amazon, and then reading tech news on the Verge) with your profile on WeChat. Apple’s changes are in part designed to limi

I use a pretty standard Rails stack, but just wanted to give a quick shoutout to Stimulus Reflex[1]. For the web app I'm working on, I wanted to add some real-time functionality (e.g. being able to broadcast updates to all the users on

Interesting bug. Appreciate the post and the disclaimer at the top but IMO the headline should be updated too. Right now it’s a bit clickbaity and also inaccurate.

Really cool looking product. The group that I run with in Los Angeles did weekly runs on Saturday mornings pre-COVID, but since the pandemic has transitioned to remote runs where everyone dials into an audio call and runs separately. It&#

This is awesome. Really impressed at the level of play given the size of the program. Somewhat amusingly, in the game I played, it went all in pushing the flank pawns, also a tendency favored by top Chess engines :)

I think it's actually quite common for the acquirer's share price to decrease following the announcement of an acquisition. (See e.g. this HBR article from 1999: https://hbr.org/1999/07/are-you-paying-to

It's possible to get to L4 like that but it'll definitely take longer than if you're able to show initiative and propose at least some smaller projects or ideas for your team. I'm leaving for a variety of reasons, but pr

Thanks for reading! Definitely agree with your point about using third party CDNs. I made an exception here because of the issues discussed in the post and because it's an admin-only page (so in the unlikely event of the 3rd party CD
