I wonder if tech is unique in having an implicit mistrust for everything on the resume. I've worked at several large companies where people don't even bother looking at them before interviews. I blame the FizzBuzz blogpost ( https

Yeah this statement kinda discredits everything he says. The world is littered with countries that exist only because some existing adjacent kingdoms happened to both be colonized by the British, and they merged them into one colony. Countr

Anything you can do with a print statement can also be done with a logpoint, if your debugger has that concept. Logpoints can also sometimes be simulated with conditional breakpoints (log something and then return false). The debugger saves

The trade war didn't help, China started buying massive stockpiles of chips before the restrictions kicked in: https://www.scmp.com/tech/tech-war/article/3120304/us-china-... It's a little dumb

People argue about how the demographics of china make this possible, america is too spread out, blah blah blah... I would rather have a thousand miles of pointless HSR than pointlessly bombing a bunch of taliban who are now back and no wors

The USA is currently in shambles and all this China bashing is a witch hunt to distract from the problems at home.

You should seek Chinese sources on this Chinese business story if you want to get closest to the truth. The xenophobia and racism in this thread is laughable, apparently all mainland Chinese are CCP agents who can't be trusted

I think you meant million instead of billion (ironic in a thread quibbling over orders of magnitude)

It's really hard to make these comparisons because environmental impacts aren't fungible. The emissions from building and running an electric car might be more CO2 overall but the CO2 is being emitted at a few large factories and

It's not. It's pointing out that the money argument for why we can't have nice things is a fallacy. We have the money, we just don't want to spend it for a variety of political reasons.

Let me rephrase. Who cares that we didn't build infrastructure in wartime when we don't even have the political will to build it in peacetime?

That's the fallacy the article is trying to combat. The war in Afghanistan did not take away from our capacity to build infrastructure at home. It's not like all the construction capacity in America was busy building stuff for Afg

Semiconductor manufacturing seems to have a very big winner-takes-all advantage, it takes enormous amounts of capital and 3-5 years to start a new fab, and the incumbents own a complicated web of secrets and patents that are basically impos

The alternative is manually hooking up a bunch of views that update by subscribing to some event bus, which quickly becomes unmanageable. I don't want to learn about all the custom events in the system to know how things update. And go
