Just a side note that, electronics are good and all, but stockpile printed matter also. You can fit a lot of vital knowledge that you can access without electricity in a very reasonable amount of space with the aid of small print, a simple

When you have a large company that recruits in large part on comp, perks, security, and prestige, over time that will destroy the company culture no matter how good it was at the start. Because you're gonna attract bland, boring, compe

I can't think of a better way to make FB's vison for Meta sound even more boring, corny, soulless, and ugly than it already does than by implying you see Disney as the gold standard of anything content-related. Disney is like,...t

I bet Google always keeps a few big but not particularly time-sensitive announcements like this in their back pocket so they can drop them as a distraction when some sizeable negative story about them breaks - say, when a $2.8B antritrust r

I think how much it matters really depends on the domain and situation. If you're hiring someone to optimize and extend the low-level graphics pipeline for your industrial-grade CAD application,it makes sense to look for someone with d

I don't get the "don't live in big cities" thing. Unless you prefer the country life, giving up big city qol (not to mention the social and professional networking opportunities) to reduce expenses by maybe $200k over a

Legal or not, it's none of the government's business if you want to help someone, so do whatever you want as long as you can get away with it

Thinking about it more, there's something similar to leaving the Matrix I think about leaving a subculture you were deeply involved in. It becomes hard(er) to willingly submerge yourself in another one once you spend some time at the &

The chess stuff resonated with me. I was a top 10 U18 player back in the day in the US, but I never set much stock by that and quit chess when I went off to college, because I couldn't find a way to feel content with devoting my life t

This is so ham-fisted and out of touch and politically stupid. The way to achieve things like this is to finance superior alternatives so that the undesired technology is naturally, organically abandoned

Re: different form of memory comment: ok, let me offer another analogy, do you need to spend time recalling how to implement a for loop? No one is testing your ability to do cutting edge original CS research in these interviews. It's j

by wly_cdgr 5y ago
They probably should! Also, recall would only be an issue if they didn't truly master the material. Do you need to recall how to ride a bike after you've learned to do it?

by wly_cdgr 5y ago
Why don't you think it's simply an issue of many people who go through CS programs failing to master the material? It's hard to imagine someone who did well in, say, Sedgewick's sequence at Princeton (which, by the way,
