An equivalent idea is to hire anyone who has worked at any well-known company with similarly rigorous interviews. But people from those places still perform really poorly in interviews at about the same rate as everyone else. I wish I knew

A negative feedback loop self-regulates. A feedback loop that exacerbates itself is a positive feedback loop, regardless of the perceived character of the feedback.

Student performance doesn't entirely depend on individual circumstances, it depends on the environment and the other students around them. The special ed students require more resources. E.g. they usually have more staff, sometimes 1:1

I think that's true, but the interview process for a SWE is (I think) unusually rigorous. I'm often surprised when I talk to my friends in other fields who get hired after 1-2 hours of get-to-know-you interviews. Meanwhile, almost

It's more complicated, but I think everything is at least a substantial layer on top of an internal offering. E.g. GCE runs VMs in Borg using the same physical infrastructure used for other services, but GCE has its own API and virtual

Also, Google's infrastructure is so vertically integrated that it's not obvious how to offer it others. E.g. Borg assigns 1 IP to each machine, which means every pod-equivalent has to listen on a dynamically allocated port, so Goo

It sounds like you have single-column indexes on every column and then would rely on an intersecting query plan (e.g. bitmap heap scan) if you query multiple columns. This isn't just slightly slower, it depends a lot on your data how s

Unless garage has a special mitigation against this, usually performance gets much worse in large clusters as the filesystem fills up. As files are added and deleted, it struggles to keep nodes exactly balanced and a growing percentage of n

At least at my public schools, languages weren't tracked, unlike the other subjects (i.e. one level for everyone, not A/B/C or Honors/Advanced/Standard). Tracking is controversial, but those classes were circuses.

I'm not sure what flags wasm-pack uses, but you can try using opt-level=s for smaller codegen. Also lto can help. You can take a look at cargo-bloat. It's sometimes surprising what code takes up all the space. There are some gener

Nginx manages a ton of connections better and can serve static files very fast. It can then multiplex the dynamic requests into fewer connections to Apache. If you mean why not only use nginx, I would guess that's easier than changing

We use aurora actually. It's a lot more scalable, but also pretty expensive. The IO layer is multi-tenent, and unfortunately when it goes wrong, you have no idea why and no recourse. I think I've never had a positive experience wi

Also rds caps out around 20k IOPS. You can hit 1 million IOPS on a large machine with a bunch of SSDs. Imagine running 50 rds databases instead of 1. It's a huge bummer that EBS is the only durable block storage in aws since the perfor

"static" in java DI can refer to setting global variables with singleton instances. E.g. java logging libraries usually do this so that you don't have to DI everywhere you want to log. In Go, some packages do this like flag a

IRC might be run by engineering there for themselves. 3rd party chat would got through procurement and be provided by IT for the whole company, and after the last SOC2 audit, they had to lock it down.

For perf sensitive projects, I set opt-level=1 in debug for at least the dependencies. Edit: I realized you might have meant that debug compiles still take a long time. In that case, obviously this won't help.

Please read the AGPL very carefully before saying things like this. There is no reasonable interpretation where some cli program in part of a CI pipeline would infect the result of the pipeline (i.e. build artifacts) unless it actually put

TCP will only slow down the writer if the network or the Kafka broker can't keep up. It the Kafka consumer can't keep up, their backlog will grow unhindered until Kafka runs out of disk space. I wish there was an easier built in w

You do have to put a salary in the offer letter, so at some point you decide what their level is based on their qualifications and pick a corresponding salary. If you really want to funnel all your candidates through one job description, wr

I've heard 10-20% dilution each round (assuming the company is doing well), and probably 3-6 rounds before liquidity or indefinite illiquidity. Obviously there are circumstances outside of that, but that already ranges from barely any

We used the same takehome for years, and eventually there were a few solutions online that were easy to find. But for some reason, they all sucked, so we never had to worry about unqualified candidates copying them.

A huge part of this document is about how Google has exclusive access to user ids. If nobody can use user ids, then they don't have those advantages anymore.
