While I like a lot of the ideas described on the website, I don’t like how they’re written in the present tense and like Cone can currently do all these things when in fact they’re just aspirations and aren’t even designed in detail. I had

I think the issue is they got that figure from a site that only counts base salary, when a lot of high end dev compensation comes as bonus or stock.

I've interviewed with Google and the interviews I got didn't really require having memorized algorithms. Maybe on the level of breadth first and binary search which are pretty basic. But I don't think most interviews used any

One specific conversation I had was how they read the literature on the best adaptive testing systems and then developed improvements tailored to their specific data and the advantages they had as a real time online test. Another was on spe

I’m guessing they know the terms but ‘consistency’ and ‘accuracy’ are just more common easier to understand terms without sacrificing meaning. I’ve talked to some TripleByte engineers and been very impressed by the sophistication of the sta

Oh man I actually really enjoy these audio demos as music. Anyone have good suggestions on more music like them? Piano music but in non-classical style with a touch of electronic editing thrown in.

I'm really excited about QUIC and Quinn because I think a lot of networking problems map on to the "many serial streams in parallel" model. QUIC libraries will make it easier to write those apps than plopping them on top of T

The fact that you didn’t change the learning rates for different batch sizes even following a linear scaling rule let alone tuning for each batch size is pretty important. IMO without tuning the learning rates comparisons across batch sizes

This doesn't seem like a very informative benchmark to me. They don't mention how/whether they tuned the learning rates and batch sizes to optimize for each different device. Like they mention, they also use a very small netw

I looked at the disassembly of both of those in https://godbolt.org/ and it looks like for some reason Rust puts the loop variables x,y and z on the stack and the loads them off the stack. This causes a bunch of L1 hits ins

I've been using TabNine for a couple months now and it's been really great. It "just works" and I don't ever have to worry about it even when opening large projects. It's always fast and high-quality. It really

I bet his mutation strategy works in tandem with the SIMD strategy. Probably the input for each SIMD lane differs by only one byte or something so that they are maximally coherent.

Sublime Text is close to being the only piece of perfect software. I have so much good will for the Sublime team that I'm tempted to buy it without even trying it. I don't think the prices are comparable to other software since th

Remembering exactly this I went and found the paper and looked and the sample sizes aren't that small, I couldn't see any missing comparisons, and the relevant P values are less than 0.01 so not obviously super P-hacked. On the ot

I think it’s okay to write a short article. He was writing an article about the fundamental attributes a good market requires (based on his vast experience with financial and betting markets), not an article about how financial markets prov

I happen to have met the author in person and know that he's very familiar with financial market details. When reading the article I didn't get the impression he was trying to say we should abandon or ignore the way financial ma

The current implementation definitely has some parts with suboptimal complexity, but at the time of design we had plans to address all of them. I just didn't have sufficient time (or productivity?) in my internship to implement them al

I agree with this, but one thing they might have been going for is editing code that you then compile and run on a beefier remote server. Although you don't need a full CRDT for that, it can do that.

The opportunity to rigorously work on the best solution to a problem was probably my favourite part of Jane Street's engineering culture. They really care about taking your time to do things right rather than getting things hacked toge

If I'm not mistaken, they contractually limited manufacturers from selling devices with Android forks , according to Google to avoid experience fragmentation. AFAIK the terms didn't limit any other operating systems not based on

There is precedent for this, even within D. The DMD compiler was originally written in C, and someone went to the effort to write a C to D transpiler, worked on it until it was flawless, then ran it overnight and did the transition all at o

The headline for this article is quite misleading, clearly chosen by the editor as clickbait. This is mostly an interesting article about the history of Canadian-American trade, with Freeland using a quote about Hitler's political stra

A slightly more modern but still old language that has many of the same benefits of QBasic but fewer of the downsides is Turing. It's used to teach programming in many Canadian high schools and was designed as a teaching language. Nice
