My 16" M1 Pro MacBook with 32 Gigs of RAM is still going strong. Not going to upgrade till this thing dies. I can ride this puppy for the next 10 years. Say what you will about Apple but their hardware is top notch and it is a great va

So no one is going to talk about how the Model is a mathematical model which follows Bayes Theorem in it's core. It updates it's priors based on new evidence presented every day. The whole point of the Model is to detect things wh

CS requires a lot of practice. Both in terms of theory and practical aspect. Without it is difficult to make connection between theory and actual stuff you can run on computers. And the subject is vast, making it difficult.

I call BS, that's not even possible. Even the legendary "tourist" cannot do it, in his own words. He programs like 2-4 hours on good days.

Did some Program Manager needed a promotion at Google? Looks like it. I personally dislike such changes, which no one asks for. Either people are just pushing their BS through Google higher ranks or they have no clue how their users actual

I can speak 3 languages and can understand close to 3 more. And I think I am the dumbest person at work, damn why is my Brain so slow? :(

The amount of wastage I see in online store returns is mind boggling. I recently ordered something from a manufacturer on Amazon. After couple of days, they dropped price on product by $20. So I called up Amazon for price adjustment. I was

You do realize people do not run through their luggage like yoga pants or sneakers. Most people use the same luggage for years, I use mine for atleast 10 years. Where is the logic in your reply?

Not sure why are you correlating unrelated reasoning with MS deal with US Military. You seem to suggest that MS is poor at Cloud game, which is not exactly true. They are cost effective compared to AWS and catching up. Maybe military wanted

For you it isn't. But for a lot of us it is cumbersome and just plain complex.

Well it does makes sense because this is the ground reality, not all startups make it. Engineers never get preferred shares no matter how hard we try to think so. Class shares are a thing to protect investor money not engineer interest.

No they are not, speaking from experience. One debt financing round and your golden stocks lose 90% of its value. It's worse when you have exercised your options. Plus you won't get class A stocks, class B or worse, which means yo

This article reminds of my coworker, touts Haskell all the time, ends up writing shitty Java code which is difficult to understand and performs like molasses. Real world is not perfect, it is immutable with plenty of side effects. Using Has

It is trivial to write both of these on your own, why do we need unnecessary abstraction for such a simple task.

You are a product or sales guy, aren't you? Looks like you did not set your expectations correctly with your engineering counterpart.

Stockholm syndrome is strong with this one. On a serious note, problem seems to be extremely long product cycles for Apple Hardware products with "my way or highway attitude" from Apple. These 2 make for a disaster recipe. Putting

Not sure why people are bashing Go because of it's choices. Looking forward to shit storm once they introduce generics in near future. I am sure people will still complain that this is not how parametric polymorphism should be implemen

What a terrible advice. Does author has trouble with discipline? You don't get anything by learning more and more programming languages. Programming languages are tools, be expert at 2 or 3 languages and that should be enough. Learn an

God bless my Mazda 3 2012. I spent a total of $1200(wipers, tires, engine oil) in 100k miles and still gives me 39 mpg on highways. Love the car. My next Car is going to be either Japanese or a Korean.

I hate being called a Tech Lead because I know dirty work I do in my current Job holds no value when I start looking out. No one cares that you took one for the team. Principal Engg or not, recruiters are trash these days and they suck. Eve

So are cloud APIs which lock you in. E.g tensor flow, Aurora and all that shiny jazz. Hate it, it is useless once you change provider or go bare metal. Cloud computing is Vendor lock in of 21st Century.
