I think the author takes seriously the constant whining noise in the dev team "who did that shit, why dont we have that, why is this still manual, what idiot made this architecture". In fact, the very existence of this whining is

Because a single professor sponsorship is not good enough for such a degree. But why do a PhD if you dont like the rules, I dont have one and I'm happy, productive, married, rich enough... The problem with leetcode is that it favors le

You can also work with different people specializing in different levels: low level barebone people caring about the performance, correctness etc, mid level people trying to release feature quickly to lock value, and high level people tryin

Yup exactly my experience as well, again a stupid idea to try and make a "configuration" language out of nested key value pairs that end up needing fancy interpreters allowing more and more semantic into the keys and values to sta

I stopped reading when they cried in joy at the ability to auto infer types instead of writing them. This has always led, in my limited experience, to unreadable code after 2 weeks. Why do people want to write short leetcode, Ill never get

There's the theory and there's reality: resources being limited and a finite employee can run things at any time, companies have to compete for their survival by hiring high while killing their competitors.

And Selenium with clever clicking ? I never got why crawlers never took the approach to just be a slow human clicking around chrome.

In Hong Kong and France where I pay taxes we seem to only use passwords. Sadly nobody has hacked my tax account and paid them for me :D

But we are... the product of code, read by machines, processing input to produce decisions. How are not information processors ? Do you think computers are not a natural extension of us ? There is absolutely discussion of life as informatio

The core business is rarely the software. We're not all lucky to work at Jetbrain or Atlassian, some of us work at banks, search engines, social networks, marketing web agencies and stuff like that. And buying is impossible in a lot of

It's interesting, I think perhaps this person is too expensive for the roles she interviews in, the companies have too many (cheaper) candidates, and she's unable to show redeeming qualities? The best guy I ever recruited was just

The problem is that we dont exactly need ar/vr: we can put screens around for a fraction of the cost, and video games are nice to sit down: we can run after each other while giggling in the forest if we want some movement fun and dont

I work in Hong Kong, in the securities industry. We interact a lot with Korean laws, and all of APAC, and Korea is special in that they enjoy nonsensical rules that provide no protection to anyone except the politicians who came up with the

It just works and IPv6 solves no problems while bringing many more. If address space was a problem, we d have switched when mobile phone started doubling the number of devices: but they can all have the same IP per tower and use NAT ...

You never put a ceiling: otherwise it makes them believe you work the hours, not the job (I mean, if you care to "win" the job offer). A good response is "there s no hour limit: as long as there s work and the client isnt sat

Lol, after 3 small companies, I joined a large systemic bank. It's less exciting but I can see projects to their completion without being surrounded by bumbling idiots barely out of business school barking nonsensical orders.

Yeah it's ridiculous to think it's a wrong question because you're in a resume competition and a peer is at 4 years per job average and you're at 1. Purely neutrally, for the hiring person, he s faced with a short term g

I think it's simpler: imagine you're the NSA and decide to transcribe every phone call ever made to text: you'll spend gazillion in storage, connectivity and processing for the capture, and spend a gazillion squared on post-c

All other countries had to transition but the US is sadly stuck as long as they perceive themselves as leading and modern. Once they get left behind maybe a politician will finally propose to "modernize" the whole thing but feh...

Not it's more you use body part names that sound funny as unit of measurement. Like it sound backward to say stuff like "I'm 5 feet tall, but I can see as far as 20 inches! Maybe I can also count up to twenty teeth but I have

And if they were right, would have so many compromises nobody would use them: we have different platforms because we have different constraints, and that percolates up to the interfaces.

I really liked he did that, completely changed the perspective on the comments. I never click on links. Even if he did not improve as much as he did our discussion, did you have to be so mean. It's Christmas, let him have it.

It's as shit a format as non-UTF strings, yet it's everywhere and we must adapt, is my point. We can adapt to scanned documents before all documents are semantically tagged, just like we have to adapt to non standard ascii extensi

But the definition of Nazi is fleeting, since there is no more National Socialist party in Germany and american problems are different. In France we do limit free speech legally, especially around anti semitism and walk a fine line. For ins

Well usually the pdf processing I did always assumed I had a paper of x by y cm, and a mask I d move around "make a 10 by 20 cm rectangle at position (100,200), what s in that rectangle" basically. There's a structure, just n
