I think this is an important concern, but not a disqualifying one. There is already a lot of variety in the space of controls, for example compare browser controls to the Office Suite to native OS, it's a big spectrum. When controls ar

This position doesn't make sense to me. Certain customizations to the native control (which is the ask here) are already available, such as adding padding to input controls, increasing the font size, changing the width. You can even ch

There was a time when candidates would get stuck on a problem and I would tell them "if you want, keep working on this problem and email me tonight with your work." Most people didn't follow up, but some people did, and we us

It’s really fast - nice job! Can you elaborate on the ranking algorithm you are using? It seems that this will become more important as you index more pages.

Different coefficients help you look at different kinds of relationships. For example, Pearson's R tells you about linear relationships between variables -- it's closely tied to the covariance: "how useful is it to draw a lin

The AWS console is designed so that you won’t use it at scale, since the “right way” is through terraform/cloudformation etc. This is the only explanation I have at this point for the lack of basic stuff like visualizations of runnin

If they do it right, they’ll treat this internally as a user feedback forum. If a question about a service has hundreds of upvotes that almost certainly means the service itself should change so that either the answer to the question is obv

There is an aspect of hackerrank-style questions that tests raw preparation, but in my experience interviewing people with customized/twist versions of these problems, nobody is just coding up a solution they memorized either. They’re

The AWS console UX is so bad that I would strongly prefer not to spend more time using similarly-designed products. To be fair, good design isn’t easy and it makes you appreciate the real Stack Overflow more.

In the spirit of the season —- I hope things go better for you as time goes on. Many of us were isolated or lonely when we were younger, and the last couple years haven’t been easy for anyone. It sounds like you’re doing lots of things righ

This is with the "Nowcast" projections on. You can disable them in the page, and this shows a measured 0.7% of cases (less than one percent) as Omicron. That's some aggressive projection model...

And that's the point: It's much more efficient to have one person to run interference for a team of 5+ developers rather than having them all fight with the CTO directly. They are paying, in part, to avoid have to deal with you di

Not GP, but one example is protecting developers from pressure from higher up. When you’re a manager, you’re going to get lots of explicit or implicit questions like “you have X headcount now, why are we behind on this project? Developer Z

The remarkable thing is that today no one knows how to “fill up the baths”, or to do more than a small part of the job. Teams exist with extremely narrow expertise. But if anything, there are more options today for DIY infrastructure - way

Management failed him. Getting slowly shut out for months, one bit of cryptic feedback from the CEO, and then fired a few months later without warning? This is how a company destroys its talent base.

My BMI is 21.0 (6'3", 168lb), and I've done OMAD (one meal a day) intermittent fasting for about a year. Mostly I did it for digestion, which has improved significantly. I would say that it's also helped to control my we

A few years ago I realized that eating made me feel bad, or just took a long time to digest. So I started skipping breakfast. A year ago I cut out dinner too, so I just eat once a day - usually late afternoon, and usually a large meal, prob

Very relatable reverie. I'd add to this that, while the author focuses on the genius of von Neumann, most of the smart people around you aren't actually like that. They too have limitations, strengths and weaknesses, and the fact

Hmm, I think the article shows - to say it another way - a desire for validation from the VC, to be taken seriously. Which is of course a natural thing to want. Instead the VC was casually shooting down their idea. So they wanted a differen

Yes, the author is basically saying that they felt unnoticed and were not receiving enough attention from the VC. Becoming very emotional did capture their raw attention, but in a way that was probably irrelevant to their goals.

With respect, your comment illustrates the issue - a burden to reeducate people by shaping their culture. Music can make a statement, sure, but a world where people are force-fed curated playlists designed to mold them into some Standard Is

And the devil is in the details of how you isolate. Seeing someone once a day for an hour is profoundly different from seeing someone once a week, or (again) from seeing no one for several weeks. Isolating with other people is not like isol

As I understand it, doing high-level medical research requires an enormous amount of training - think of it, if you will, as on boarding into the insanely complex and poorly commented legacy system that is the human body. As an engineer I w
