Consider also the time value of money. If you buy the acoustic you are out all of that money immediately. If not, you can invest it and at least beat inflation. That’s assuming you have the lump sum in hand of course, you may not, and be fo

Two hypotheses — one of which you can falsify easily. Perhaps Vitess is doing port concentration? Ie dispatching requests made by multiple clients over fewer db connections? This is quite typical to do. The other is that you may have simply

This is the way. If your kids take to piano, by all means roll up your sleeves and get an acoustic instrument (that will more than likely become a piece of furniture in 10-20 years). But a good DP will be better than the equivalent acoustic

Given the price difference, you could buy a new high end digital keyboard every 10 years and still be below the cost of a middling acoustic instrument after 50 years. You can’t justify acoustic economically unless you make your income from

On the off chance someone associated with this is reading: I’m curious about the networking stack here. Specifically TCP. Is it being used? The reason I ask is because one limit I’ve run into in the past with large scale workloads like this

There is literally no chance that Twitter has 10 engineering managers for every engineer. That is simply absurd. i worked there for over 4 years, and the ratio then was very comparable to every other tech company I've worked at, includ

Taylor Leese is a respected Twitter engineering manager who tweeted on Sunday that he was no longer working at Twitter. While it's remotely conceivable that he quit, it's much more likely he was fired. I had reports from friends w

Clearly they’re all playing video games with amazing simulation and world-making capabilities. Elon Musk is the current top score alien in our simulation.

You absolutely can ssh into it. Their marketing team can be forgiven for trying to be appealing to the orders of magnitude more non-techies out there. It’s a hardware company, they’d go out of business very quickly just selling to hobbyist

Sorry, but have you looked at Procreate? There is absolutely no comparison to what you can do on an iPad. It’s basically a Wacom plus one of the high end art apps. Anything that you can do on a Remarkable can be done better on an iPad with

You could actually write a self-referential tweet without the edit button somewhat easily. Tweet ids are predictable, especially if you can calculate the underlying rate that people tweet at, which is quite doable given the structure of a S

Honestly I don’t think Deuter’s advice and yours differ that much. You’re not going to carry weight below your belt line, because if you do you’re wasting energy moving it back and forth as you walk. You’re not going to carry weight above y

by sulam 4y ago
That is a _lot_ of weight to run with, and I don’t think their advice is aimed at or, as you say, relevant to your use case. Speaking as a highly experienced backpacker, with typical loads (10-20% body weight), the point of having weight di

Relevant from your POV. A very large part of the planet clearly doesn't care.

Google has a massive number of teams, many of which are actively hiring. This is not some musical chairs exercise and it’s only getting attention because it fits the storyline journalists want to tell right now. This has been going on throu

You literally still have a job. Being reported as a layoff would be lying. If you don’t have a job and have to find work elsewhere then that would be the layoff. As long as the company is still paying you the at worst you’re on the bench.

Money is an artificial construct. If it’s worth doing, it will be affordable to those who get value out of it.

Being one click away from a DELETE vs a GET sounds like a serious foot-gun that I would wrap a check around. “Are you sure? This operation will delete 17M entries.”

I look forward to your perspective when the IRS starts arguing your free food and other benefits should be taxed like regular income.

Shopify's plan is an oddity in the industry, normally one doesn't directly trade RSUs and base comp. Netflix has allowed for this (probably still does, but I haven't negotiated against a Netflix offer recently), but I don&#x2

While I would avoid trying to time the market, anyone starting now has a much lower "cost basis" (they're not spending money, it's not a cost) and better chance at their RSUs appreciating while they vest. Using the last

Fair enough, but I get that signal from asking them an actual system design question, or even a coding problem. It's really a waste, which is better than "awful", I guess. :)

While you’re not directly stating that Twilio is VC-funded, that implication can easily be drawn by the adjacency in these two statements. Twilio was VC funded, but they’re a public company now and have been for some time. These layoffs h

I get deposits from Google over that amount quite frequently and nothing bad happens. I do pay taxes on my income of course, but it’s not that anything over $10K is automatically a problem. In this case, yes they will need to pay taxes on i

Because these kinds of questions do not tell you anything about the person’s ability as a developer, a leader or give you any insight into the ability to be innovative. As others have noted, it simply measures their ability to make basic as
