Well as we have seen, NVIDIA probably has got a killer ARM chip in the lab for release in 24 months.

You can't appreciate it without system mastery though. How are you really paying attention to the work that was created if you don't learn its systems.

Are there any examples where this isn't the Motif in Elden Ring? Arguably this is his only motif. Elden ring is basically a huge ungodly mountain of character flaws.

Agree with this. I think the difference is between sharing the code and pushing dodgy code down into npm. Which is my misunderstanding. Pushing this dodgy code down to end users in Russia/Ukraine is a cyberattack.

by urthor 5y ago
You're spot on, my mistake. I thought the author published it via Git and some npm maintainer scraped them. If they distributed this code to end users that's just a cyberattack.

by urthor 5y ago
I agree, I think I misread. If you actively distribute, as in push your code out to the world via pushing it into npm, that's very different to sharing the code on GitHub.

This is somewhat true. Definitely at the start of your career you are more gregarious. I don't think it's a good thing though. Middle aged men especially, I think, generally could do with a wider circle of acquaintances. I try t

That's exactly what the research says. We have, a limited amount, of executive function capacity. People who are "disciplined" actually don't have any more. They have good personal habits which automates all the execut

It's not about marginal utility, it's about the revenue model. Very easy to monetize a payments platform.

It goes beyond social media. Software always starts by appealing to discerning customers. The early adopters. Once it is fairly widely adopted, often the early adopters have adopted a newer, better thing. So now you are making features for

That makes sense. Sounds a bit like what my old timer buddy says. Google's KPI is hiring talent away from competitors who physically live in the San Francisco bay area. And the ads/ML teams that they drench in their 1%ers. Everyo

It's not just a usability issue. OP, you need to deliver lots of public value to customers who haven't converted yet. Always remember. "3 free articles a week" isn't you giving your stuff away. It's marketin

I guess the question is, what's the proportion either side? Is it 25% will do it properly, 75% don't? Am I too cynical about tech interviews, or too optimistic? I'd also add, for a couple of companies, Google's approach

The "Merge intervals" question, or variations in particular are such a good interview question. Off by one errors. Test the developers on the off by one errors. Whatever your skillset it's truly the fairest tool in the book

Whether it's a good idea or not doesn't matter. Germany practices it.

"One common misconception I keep seeing is the idea that the interview result revolves around solving the question." Candidates know this. The issue is: Interviewers who do their job, and build a broad based picture of a developer

Oh the focus of the interview is very good. It's Google's interview format after all (actually Microsoft's, but operating systems are hard as well). The great big sleight of hand trick behind all of this is that the entire

I mean, there's quite a lot of famous employers that pay you a lot of money to work more than 40 hours a week no? But also, the nature of education etc means that a mediocre developer who works 70 hours a week, will probably be less ef

Germany pumps a disproportionate amount of money into renewables though. The Energiewende makes them one of a tiny handful of countries worldwide that is actively interested in alleviating greenhouse gases.

This is essentially it. Nuclear power has been economically inefficient for a long time. This is true for many, many economies. Even in places like Japan and South Korea, nuclear energy is more expensive than seaborn LNG. The reason that n

I don't see how part-time developers will ever work. As a developer we are not paid for the time in a chair. We're paid to have the "code base, and all the business context" in our brain. Then solve problems. If you&#x27
