I already admitted to being a layman, but I'm referring to SVBs venture debt offerings. I was under the understanding that the SVB collapse was so devastating (and the reason there was the government bailout that went above FDIC) was b

I mean, that's where all the current hype and VC is, so it's not too surprising. From my layman's perspective, the collapse of SVB seems to have tightened the belt on the startup scene, with AI-hype bubble(?) being the only v

You're in a niche(ish) space, that doesn't have a lot of general overlap with HN. I can say "I wish someone made a cheaper alternative to the Domino" and anyone in the space will understand what you mean instantly. But f

If you're willing to completely fabricate a educational and work background to suit a specialized role, and the company gets lax on its background checking you can get away with it too. If you're able to lie about pretty much ever

May I ask why you moved from software engineering to data science?

Sometimes the issues can come down to miscommunication, which I've found is well addressed by adopting a format for your PR comments to eliminate the ambiguity on what is blocking, what is an optional suggestion, what is a genuine ques

Fair. I guess I've found that in my encounters, personally doing everything proper for other's code reviews hasn't inspired change in the other developers to reciprocate. i.e. I haven't walked into an environment with a

A style-guide, linter, and formatter eliminates so many potential nits, but in my experience the teams that need them the most are often the most difficult/impossible to get any buy-in on.

I still haven't encountered an environment where PRs aren't either essentially a rubber-stamping because an external audit said they needed to do code reviews, or the death-by-a-thousand-cuts as described in the article. I'm

For $1k it's just a blank round. But if you donate $1M, you're allowed to shoot the USS New Jersey's curator Jordan with an HE shell from the 16" guns.

For anyone along the Northeastern corridor, the USS New Jersey in Camden is another well-preserved Iowa class museum ship.

Toasts can be bad UX (usually when they are the sole feedback), but they are great in conjunction with other elements. A confirmation toast with a page-redirection is a great way to add additional indication to the user that their submissio

Well, I'm glad so many HN commenters enjoyed a pleasant, bucolic childhood wandering freely, but my parents were raised with a similar amount of freedom, but instead had to contend with things like neighborhood perverts sexually harass

There is something a little perverse about making them work the job as a punishment. If I was the employee I'd feel a little insulted, like "Don't worry, we gave them a much worse punishment than a big fine or jail time, we&#

If people don't have an uproar every time they're reminded, it normalizes and legitimizes it. The outrage forces them to operate it in the shadows. As much as I hate it happening on any level, I feel that the forced secrecy must h

I can't say it's definitely the cause, but some of the things that might play a role are that the driving test is much more strict/difficult, the minimum age to get a permit is 18, the highways are generally less dense, the s

Honestly speaking, the main thing that always made me dislike PHP was lots of things related to the syntax. Call it petty, but it's the truth. I've always felt that PHP could greatly benefit from a Kotlin-esque interop language wi

I would also think the "locating" aspect plays a role. Things can easily be lost at the bottom of the sea, isn't there a history of nuclear bombs that were accidentally lost at sea and never found?
