The doctor didn't have a track record because they fudged his results. If he did have a track record that track record would have been prevented from growing one way or another if the rules were properly followed. Of course the whole s

It says in the article that the surgeon (locum?) who performed the caesarean made a mistake that was the direct cause of Harry's death. But it doesn't really matter, blaming the doctor doesn't solve anything, as Derek justly

Plot twist at the end there, as the author of the article is themselves a prince of the family of living descendants of Mark Anthony. Although he's pretty humble about it before breaking the news it did make me double take. To me the a

Our only lock-in was using the GCS api instead of S3. I spent a week porting it to S3 and now there's nothing binding us to GCP. There's a whole bunch of S3 compatible storage solutions, we went with Backblaze's B2 as a secon

If you're at the point where you're adding hierarchies to your tags, I think you're fighting a losing battle. At that point, why not do what Google does and just make a BERT embedding. No way you're going to manually ach

Nice! If I'd be looking into running FreeBSD it would be because I heard about its supposed security and I/O performance characteristics. Do those qualities hold up when run on firecracker this way? What applications would you cho

The new design is bad intentionally to improve their performance numbers, that it's still online and that the whole site didn't go the way of digg means they pretty much nailed it.

My company doesn't deal with personal information, so ymmv, but the way we deal with soft deletes is deleting the password, setting their name to "Deleted user" and setting the e-mail address of the user to deleted-<random

A huge dent would be nice, but it's not a solution to anything. We need a full reversal, not just stopping emissions but actively recovering emissions that have already been expended. Cars and electricity generation are but a fraction.

That's like saying everyone hates going into that part of the forest because there's a grizzly bear roaming around so I should probably do the exact opposite. Look how many berries there are, and I wonder if there's any good

There is a much better lesson to take from practice theory, and that's the skill curve. You might see it and think "oh it takes 10,000 hours to become a master". But it only takes 10 hours of practice to become better at some

I'm all for subsidies, but I don't like SREC. The truth is our economies and populations are still growing, and so is our demand for energy. If we let solar supplement out energy instead of replace it, it's close to useless.

I heard of TIBCO in two ways, the first time was from my housemates friend who was visiting. We were still poor college students and this friend was making fat stacks as a consultant for TIBCO. Apparently their business model is selling the

If you sell your SRECs you're basically undoing any potential climate good your solar panel might be doing.

People take so much for granted. It was decades until the graphics cards manufacturers ever saw Linux support as a serious issue. Linux made itself a serious platform by this kind of "wasted effort" and if you go even earlier in t

Thanks, that's it exactly. I wonder if leetcode programmers are actually faster or something, surely someone at these faang companies has some sort of metrics backing up their use of those tests? Or is it just a slightly advanced versi

That's an awesome amount of interviews. Is there any sort of experience/book/theory you think a CTO should have to excel at the job (besides the technical and hr skills)? One thing I think I'm struggling with is competin

One to three passion projects, doesn't matter what amount of stars. Some practice projects in new technologies. Some contributions to large open source projects. If you tick all three boxes there, in my opinion your GitHub account is a

Developers spend hundreds of hours practicing leetcode and hackerrank? Are they actually good coders? And that's required to pass an interview? I feel so out of touch. I haven't interviewed very many candidates, just a couple doze

It's just going to be as good as asking a human to explain its behaviour. It might be a semi-accurate interpretation of its actions based on its internal knowledge, but it's never going to be the actual thing. The actual decision

The one that rejected me was a supplier that generally targets larger full construction sites so I totally get it for them. For the rest though, their main audience is definitely normal renovation contractors, and my order sizes are exactly

Yeah what is going on with B2B in Europe and not showing prices? It's absolutely bonkers, I have been renovating my house the past 6 years, and to even get into the stores I had to get a business account (by cheating and using my IT bu

That's literally the only one that didn't shock me. What universe do you live in where machine learning algorithms aren't tied together with Python? And what industry where machine learning is not mainly neural networks?

I think the implied benefit is that the hydrocarbons could be synthetic. Why they're mentioning that is a bit suspect though. Basically they should be saying "you know those hydrocarbons that are 100 times more expensive than regu

Not to be all megalomanic.. but I wonder what will be the last machine I personally wrote code for. Code we write nowadays is mostly targeted at virtual machines, or even if it's low level at some idealised hardware (apparently based o

Over reasoning? Because I ask a developer what they want to work on during an interview? Guess what, turnover is high when your developers are unhappy with the work they're doing. I've had developers do work that they didn't

I'd rather hire someone who is effective and passionate about solving problems in a particular space. If I hire a full stack web developer, and then they burn out because I had only frontend tickets for them for half a year, that'
