TLM (at Facebook) stands for Tech-Lead Manager - it’s a hybrid role, with engineering duties and people management duties. From what I remember, it wasn’t intended as a long-term position, but was used in stop-gap circumstances (manager qui

I learned to program in my early teen years from books I checked out from the library, but since then didn't read a single programming book. Recently, I needed to ramp up quickly on an embedded C project (without any past MCU programmi

No approach is a silver bullet here, but what I've found effective is to seek out friendships with / mentorship from senior and staff-level engineers. They'll have tons of war stories from 10-20 years ago, and may even have s

I’d be interested in understanding this better - what kind of sensors do you have in mind that are junk?

IIRC the industry standard is to serve your authoritative DNS with anycast, and have those servers do geo-based dns resolution to shift HTTP traffic to a nearby edge POP.

No, the credits could only be used to run ads. However, the ads were run publicly, and competed in ad auctions with campaigns from actual customers paying actual money. If employees had a $25k ad budget, that would mean increasing the deman

Cable bought on long spools to install permanently is usually solid, while patch cables are usually stranded. Most of the time, you'll end up buying pre-terminated stranded cable, and all the cable you terminate yourself will be solid.

It's worth pointing out that a competent engineer with a good business sense is the exact formula for an exceptional sales engineer.

I use JLC PCB for small projects at work, when we‘re doing prototype runs or just making a few units and don’t want to spin up our main PCB supplier. The process is quick and mostly painless. They even have screenshots and a guide to export

I think the section is addressing both CPU and IO-bound tasks: > How to Execute a Blocking I/O or CPU-bound Function in Asyncio? But to be precise, we should differentiate between Python’s interpreter threads and OS threads. In gene

I think the article is correct here, actually - if you need to run a CPU-bound task, you’ll need a ProcessPoolExecutor.

It definitely doesn't solve all cases, but quite a lot of nested loops can be eliminated with `itertools.chain`: for item in itertools.chain.from_iterable(list_of_lists): # Do something with item

This sounds like you’re referring to his appearance on CNN’s Crossfire in the mid 2000’s; here’s a link for context: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=aFQFB5YpDZE

I guess it depends on the car you started in and how easy it is to stall. My Jeep Cherokee with an inline 6 would have been an incredibly easy car to learn on, but my RX-8 - with about the same amount of low-end torque as a sewing machine -

It’s worth pointing out that “tornado” in this context is a crypto project, NOT the popular Python web server/event loop library.

I’m truly curious, is this because it rules out distributing a statically linked binary? I may be misremembering, but I thought LGPL is completely fine for commercial apps if you’re just looking against the LGPL’d code.

Oh hey there! Can confirm that Storms got very very smooth over the course of a few years - it was really incredible to see it go from something that we planned on our roadmap to getting into work and realizing an entire datacenter was disc

Hah, that's what I get for skimming the article and assuming I knew what was going on here. With that said, I guess the quickest thing that comes to mind is wanting to run my Jupyter notebooks on a machine with much beefier CPU and mem

One of the use cases I can think of is "I have a set of scripts (shell, GDB, etc.) that are useful when troubleshooting servers, and I want to be able to use any of them at will once I've connected to a machine that's broken.

Are they not? I thought qualified dividends (that is, dividends on stocks that have been held long enough to qualify for long-term capital gains) are taxed at the long-term capital gains rate.

I really like this model - thanks for sharing! A professor of mine drilled into us the idea that much of life is luck, but as he said (and I believe he was quoting someone else here) "the harder I work, the luckier I get."

I love this - didn't realize it was a thing at all! If anyone is curious, this works for any type in Python that implements __format__ ( {now:%m/%d/%Y} is equivalent to {now.__format__('%m/%d/%Y')} )

Depending on your current level, this can be the same thing (Facebook has an "engineering progression" - there's a time frame within which you're expected to be promoted to a certain level).
