Did the person you're replying to edit their post? If not, you should consider that lesbian relationships can be abusive.

You're arguing that real IQ tests don't exist, then. Any test is gameable.

by xenihn 7y ago
Your post makes absolutely no sense given that you can practice for IQ tests and improve your score on them. This isn't up for debate. You can improve things measured by IQ tests (i.e. spatial reasoning and pattern recognition) without

I hope you realize this is the same argument used in support of child labor.

You can get better at IQ tests by practicing them.

Is the book that you're referring to "Introduction to Algorithms: A Creative Approach"?

What did you do to prep for the interview process? I'm assuming you weren't already prepping nor ready for FAANG, but maybe I'm wrong :)

They're secure though.

Yep, brilliant.org + the first book from minireference.com are what OP needs.

I know multiple people who don't have a degree at all and have full-time SWE positions at FAANGs. One is even an engineering manager. This isn't the 2000s. There's even a sourced 2018 article about current hiring practices tr

He's been shitting on bootcamps for a while. I want to say it's been at least three years since he first did so.

You seem to be missing the point entirely (most clearly evidenced by you using the term "clear minority", when no one made anything resembling that claim), so let me try to break it down for you. The goal is to eventually reach a

Come see it for yourself. I can get you into a bunch of the biggest offices & campuses through friends.

Most male engineers I see are east asian (predominantly Chinese) or Indian.

by xenihn 7y ago
I see just as many asian female engineers as white male software engineers in the bay. And more asian female engineers than male black+hispanic+pacific islander+native american engineers combined. You should be much more concerned with clas

It's running great on my newly-built Hackintosh. I'm still scared of upgrading my personal and work MBPs though.

My girlfriend's family has a bunch of software engineers who worked on various space programs as employees for the major defense contractors (Boeing, Lockheed Martin, Raytheon), and they had nothing but bad things to say about NASA sof

But RN apps are not web apps...?

by xenihn 7y ago
The fact that Facebook themselves will never be able to replace their native iOS and Android apps with RN implementations says it all imo.

It's all about your trade-off between what you want, time, and money. Do you want the desktop equivalent of a fully-loaded 16" MBP or a low-mid-range Mac Pro? Is $3000 a significant amount of money to you? If the answer to both of

There's a site that is basically oink 3. Don't forget that what itself was a successor of oink. Not sure if it's against the rules to name it. It seems much harder to get an invite to it than it was for the previous 2 though.

Lobste.rs has a better site and functionality, but HN has a better community and much more activity/discussion. Though I want to note that having a better community doesn't mean the people on HN are nicer or more educated. There&#

I guess I was being overly dramatic there. I did manage to make it to onsites for the first time this year after failing phone screens before, so we'll see. I just haven't spent enough time practicing. I find it hard to do so outs

You completely misinterpreted that part of my post. I'm not going to quit tech just because I know that I make significantly less than other people. It doesn't even make sense as a reason for me to quit. I don't even understa

If they're actually better than their coworkers, why can't they just go to a better company where the pay gap no longer matters? Is your life really going to be that much different when you make $340k instead of $370k? I can under

If this is in CA I would be surprised if he keeps half of that after taxes.

I really don't understand how wage disparity can be given as a reason in the current market, assuming that you're a software engineer. If you don't like how much you make, go find a new employer. I know it's not that sim
