I sure hope these aren’t road legal. Maybe in warehouses or farms or golf courses. Not roads.

I've been fortunate to have two great direct managers at the prior companies I've worked at, and one common thread they have is they've both been developers. I think working in the field before you command people who do so he

Good time to post one of Paul Graham's essays: http://www.paulgraham.com/mean.html Most startups have the problem of accelerating into the ground. Facebook has the problem of accelerating into the ceiling. What do you

Ooh nice! I work at a GPU database company (kinetica.com) and we are targeting larger enterprises and trying to replace their legacy store and analytics stacks. We’re releasing our 7.0 database stack for general availability tomorrow.

Very cool! I'm reading through "Seven Concurrency Models in Seven Weeks" by Paul Butcher at the moment, which discusses different types of concurrency models. If I might try to elucidate what Butcher explained, the Actor mode

Top comment on New York Times says this is deflection from the Roger Stone indictment. I think it's likely this is true, since he didn't get anything solid politically. He might let the government shut down again and pull the same

I disagree; I and a few other good coworkers were managed by a pretty horrible boss (pretty horrible as in he is known by name as a horrible person to work for by multiple corporate HR departments and recruiting agencies in our metropolitan

Even without the shutdown, the U.S. air traffic control system may experience greater strain in the years to come due to a generational deficit in the number of new air traffic controllers being trained and staffed: https://www.f

Great post Sam! My two cents is to try and compete against yourself: quantify your actions with some set of metrics and loop your measurements of those metrics into a feedback loop of improvement. That way, you never feel left behind and ha

A guy from Google Brain came over to a Capital One meetup and talked at length about the `autograph` module; check it out! I remember they did some neat things with extending Python's operator overloading in order to generate Tensorflo

I think there's a happy path between bootstrapping your own company and taking millions in VC funding, where you can place your customers ahead of delivering investor returns but not have to design your products and roadmaps due to fin

I'd like to use Chrome or be on the ecosystem for the developer tools and website compatibility but not have to...well...suffer through this. Maybe Brave or another maintained fork of Chromium fits the bill.

What I really liked about Ruby on Rails when I took an online course on it were the schema.rb files and `rake db:migrate` command. I don't know if there's an analog in Python, but honestly I think clean, highly structured, maintai

This is absolutely true. Definitely trust your instincts when looking at Glassdoor reviews; do NOT accept them at face value. If there are positive reviews that sound a bit off, take that as a major red flag, as the company is not honest. I

I’ve been robbed six times, including once where one third of my money disappeared. I agree with you that security is only as strong as its weakest link. I just take emotional comfort in doing everything I can to make myself more prickly an

I don't think this is a healthy assumption to make. Even if you are not embarrassed by the possibility that any message you send could end up on the New York Times, things like industrial espionage (aided in large part by state actors)

I use Bitwarden, password autogen, and 2FA to manage those too, though I'm not fully migrated over yet (still have a lot of weak duplicate passwords). My problem is the older services I have to use that don't support 2FA.

Never worked at Google, but do you think you could take a sabbatical or long vacation to travel and think? I think the risk profile would be lower since if you do come up with something solid, you could leave, and if you don't, you&#x2
