Same here... no clue what's happened over the last few years. Slack used to be pretty reliable when I first used it.

I love when people use Git in ways I haven't thought about before. Reminds me of the first time I played around with 'blobs.'

*Three* org heads, two lead developers, and seven developers (apparently the entire iOS team) in that group, at least. That's a recruitment/headcount nightmare... I wouldn't be surprised if other employees leave based on crun

It's a little more on the nose. I just checked the subforum for a random quant firm and it goes something like: * Just interviewed at {firm}, here are the questions: 1. Question One: here are the math and stats subquestions. 2. Questio

This actually exists. I would link to a specific example, but it's run by an individual and I'd feel weird doing that. "Software coaching" might be a useful keyword?

It's worth checking out the other links/blogs on this site. I read a lot of complaining about Leetcode, most of which I think is valid. That said, something that's not discussed often is its effect on interviewee's menta

I've heard that if you answer your case study interviews with "The client should lay off X people across Y offices." you'll get hired, lol.

How to make a variety of 2x2 matrices that make your clients happy. I've seen some really creative axes on those things -- it's an art.

Interesting, I've had the opposite experience. One of the best managers I've ever reported to and worked with came from the project. I've also worked with a few good engineers and scientists from there, too. I suppose this is

I think it's important to mark a distinction between critical theory, the philosophical tool for analysis, and how critical theory can be taught (the unfortunate incidents you cite where white students are shamed or mistreated). In hig

I turned around at Bright Angel in the Grand Canyon this Winter. Despite being real bummed about it, I headed down Hermit's Rest which gets more sun and was no longer icy. "Oh well, I'll settle today" I thought. Midway d

The older guys scare me more, especially on scenic drives like Blue Ridge. They can outright bully normal drivers (surrounding them to force them to go faster). Of course, these are the vast minority of motorcyclists, but it's still a

This should be mandatory for a lot of sports, honestly. Assisted climbing (lead, top-roping) comes to mind. Kinda crazy that in many gyms you can get on a wall with no verification that your belay knows what they're doing.

True, true. Maybe the chewing tobacco is meant to be a proxy for smoking earlier in life.

I probably read too much into their usage of the flu as an example. But yes, mRNA will lead to benefits beyond COVID. Some of the computational techniques developed for COVID will likely assist other drug discovery and development processes

Sure, but maybe the flu isn't the best example. I'm long MRNA and big fan of the vaccine's technology. It was a biochem nerd dream getting my first shot!

I wonder what the metabolic argument is (if any). Maybe it's something else. Really interesting regardless -- anyone know why there's this restriction?

Define "cure?" Also, if they had something solid larger companies would be salivating to jump on it (and Sorrento would reap royalties for a solid chunk of this).

I like to think that medicinal chemists are self-aware enough to not ingest anything they design, lol. There'd certainly be a lot more corpses than drugs in the market with self-testing. In either case, I've definitely considered

GP is probably referring to Voat, which was a Reddit alternative with less censorship that went down the gutter within a year.

I like that a comment requires at least one comment before a downvote. Maybe not a comment for each downvote, since that might encourage dogpiling. Imagine a new user makes a social faux pas and suddenly receives ~4 relatively negative comm
