It's still a lot of effort (time & $) for an individual to do any sort of legal defense.

I'll take slack over email by a country mile. A lot (maybe even most or all) of the negativity around slack in this thread is from misuse. Slack is a tool. If it's becoming a distraction, change your approach.

I like the counterpoint, but it's not clear that the ML researchers were the ones who pulled the plug on the project.

Agreed. There is no story here.

When I read the headline, I expected them to address trust related to their lack of API maintenance.

What's the outcome here if the expose turns out to be a farce? Written apology from Bloomberg? Fire the reporters? SEC charges of security fraud related to stock manipulation?

I saw this exact scenario happen as well. A startup had some turnover and several negative glassdoor reviews (none of which were mine). At this point, HR started posting absurdly fake reviews and then a week or two later all but one of the

You're new to the organization and were hired to help the company go from rough, ship-first, relatively low quality practices to high quality and scalable best practices. In order to make this a reality, you're going to need to fi

Quite sad to hear the number of people saying that quality has gone down; especially since I've only been getting active in the last year or so. Hopefully there's a healthy dose of nostalgia tinging these opinions. It's certa

I absolutely love 3blue1brown's youtube channel, but never realized he taught on Khan academy as well. He even appears to have made his own library for many of the animations on his videos!

From what I've seen, your expertise and network in the field are what will allow you to raise funds for a capital intensive business. If you don't already know people and/or have deep expertise in the field, why would someone

I guess it depends on what you consider approval. Are all comments being addressed before the RFC is worked on, and are all RFCs receiving regular comments? In a small team with decent communication, RFCs can be prioritized somewhat easily.

This article seems like it was written 10 years ago. BI, Technical Account Managers, Sales Engineers, and Finance People should all have a decent excel grasp at minimum. Is it that common for there to be desperate needs for minimal competen

Bingo. Documenting discussions should be about better communication and understanding. Feeling that things need to be emailed because of malicious actors is not healthy.

Agreed on all your points except for that it is strange. I'd say in most fields, expertise is second to sales & politics ability for generating revenues & popularity.

Seems like the growing expense of marriage combined with lower stigma for being unmarried is the driver here.

Your examples don't seem that great, to be frank. The lambda syntax isn't that different from the syntax for defining functions, unless you're referring to the fact that it's different than anonymous functions in other l

I wouldn't say never, but I'd say the vast majority of the time this has been the case for me as well.

Even though a small amount of good and consistent guidance/mentorship can make a tremendous difference, a huge part of software engineering is being able to largely mentor yourself. Where do you feel you are now, and what are you looki

Surprised to see so much support for google sheets over excel. Of course, all the aforementioned issues with excel can be avoided or changed in settings. Has the pendulum really swung so far to the other side that sheets is the consistently

Perhaps the opposite. Seems they've learned to push forward and never again fall behind.

Interesting talking point, but they must be lumping a number of companies with government contracts into the private sector as well. Still, curious to see some sort of hierarchy around motivations/emphasis for: - top secret private inf
