I’m engineering adjacent (analytics / data sci) but my experience has been the best engineers pitch and pick their own projects rather than being assigned out weeks in advance. Just recently an engineering manager told me “I trust [IC7

It’s kind of odd to think it’s NEVER correct for a company to do layoffs. The CEOs job is to run the company - if the company is more efficient why shouldn’t the CEO be rewarded? Their job is to run the company not never fire anyone.

This is an incredibly personal issue, who cares? You’ve made the internet harder for yourself to use...

You’re assuming pricing should be based on cost, but there’s no reason that has to be/should be the case.

It’s not a loan, and the 1% fee isn’t an interest rate, so annualization doesn’t make sense and usury laws don’t apply.

Although the MBTI is widely criticized/weak, I’ve found it to be quite a lot of fun for having discussions about personality with friends/family. The MBTI makes strong statements about personalities which inevitably leads to inacc

There are different types of consulting services - you could assess many parts of someone's cyber security preparedness without knowing technical details about security, as weird as that sounds. Does management make it a priority? Is t

Very interesting. However, I've yet to see a graph library that effectively handles large graphs/communities. It's very difficult to automate displaying more than about 10-15 connections in a meaningful way. I think a solutio

It's a little bit hard to capture in a survey, but the reality is you can't value everything. Values aren't a list of all the things you think are good, it's a list of the things you value "above replacement".

I realize there are scenarios in theory where it's easier to verify output than create it, but in practical terms (e.g. A web application) what would the difference be between a testthat validates all possible inputs/outputs and t

I don't think so, because an idea this obviously silly should fail under almost any market conditions.

As a frequent flier I've found flying is much more stressful to my body than one might expect. Long flights make me completely miserable, sometimes for multiple days afterward. Plus there is social isolation and a strange sense of deta

It seems you've been hurt recently by a consultant :). The institutional response to managing the risk of complex systems is often to introduce layers of approval and process that appear to be dealing with a problem ("this system

I would encourage everyone here to actually go ahead and read the manifesto/letter. I did and was surprised by its tone, given the type of headline this situation is attracting. I think the author makes some very calm and reasoned poin

First and foremost you should contact a lawyer - HN isn't a good forum for getting legal advice. If you contact your local bar association they can set you up with a minimally costed consultation ($35 in sf) that will likely answer all

The technology industry is seen as progressive and cutting edge, therefore stories about sexism have more impact because they challenge a larger gap between perception and reality - "everyone knows" that finance is sexist. I'

Once at a particular job, I'm primarily motivated by wanting my coworkers/managers to think highly of me and want to fast track me for various things.

I don't think this problem is as hard as you think it is in practical terms. N is going to be relatively small given basic constraints (the number of drivers and requests that could feasibly be matched is geographically limited). The s

I wouldn't say "The Big Fat Surprise" makes a case against nutrition research as a field - rather it points out some of the difficulties in performing nutrition research (the largest: it's almost impossible to enforce co

You can't avoid all conflicts with clients, but clear and constant communication that feels at first like over communication is key to prevent this kind of misunderstanding. Here's what I've seen work with regards to client c

Interesting story, but I think the researcher who found the flaw probably doesn't have much experience with large organizations, he says they didn't take it seriously because it "shouldn’t take over an hour to contact your IT
