Over what time frame would you tolerate poor working conditions to make a million bucks? Four year equity vesting? A million dollars in 2025 too, not a million dollars in 2010.

I learned LogiQL [1] in 2012, which is a Datalog-inspired language. We were writing an OLAP system and wrote some pieces by hand but a large chunk of our star schema was generated via Python + templates. [1] https://www.routledg

I am working on a hex-tile game in which multiple players spawn on a map of some radius. Each tile has a value and a growth function. Each player can select a tile and make a move and accumulate the value of tiles they own, or split the d

Discord has a feature (recently added?) in which you can reply to something -- it gets miniquoted above your reply. It does a good job of 'flattening out the tree'.

I really liked this article, but I think it misses a couple things: the reality of the economy for millennials. Notes about how we might consider wage stagnation aside, cost of living and education skyrocketed for us. We also witnessed se

I liked it because it made me really read the article rather than just scan it and move on. That said, I took the quiz and got 5/9 - but I didn't want to sign up so I don't know what I didn't comprehend/retain. I a

I'm not sure if dimensionality reduction fits in the book, but it is one other thing we are considering in our problem. I am HOPING that with good coverage of early populations, we can 1. drop an order of magnitude off our dimensions (

Cool! Bought a copy. Some questions - Have you looked into Latin Hypercube Sampling for your initial population creation? Or in general, some initial set that tries to cover the space better than a pseudo-random sample? LHS tries to guar

I appreciate the relationship between anger and depression. I was a very angry child - but angry young boys are not tolerated. I became a depressed young boy instead, and the world seemed much happier with that. Recognizing that you'

Congratulations on the launch! I have a few questions. What happens when the value function for a given state is expensive? The value is the distance from one state to another right, not the 'value of that state' - what if there

I like Docker, I like microservices, but I feel like I'm just not excited about Kubernetes itself. There seems to be a "bullshit complexity" that people add to it that I really don't think is going to stick. But, I rea

Not sure about Java, but at least in C# there are clear advantages to using interfaces over concrete classes when using Moq.

Personally, in C#, I don't enjoy debugging and maintaining Fluent APIs. An exception thrown in the chain is sometimes opaque and the necessary extension methods to make everything come together is not neat code. The former reason is

You could augment your engineering experience with subject matter expertise. Finance, Supply Chain, Manufacturing, something like that! Practically, for me, this means a MicroMasters on edX. For some, it'll be a Nanodegree on Udemy.

I think it's generally pretty low effort to maintain a repository layer with raw SQL exposing your domain or entity objects (depending on the complexity of the whole project), so the most aggressive I get with an ORM is something like
