I interviewed with Uber in 2016 with the "crystal ball" team. Reading about R-crusher, I am glad that offer never came through!

But then Eddie Howe moved to Newcastle and is on track to get them into the coveted Champions League spots... Is that a risk you wish to take?

I am also looking for this information. I largely switched away from lastpass over the last 12 months, and only a few low-value credentials remain in it. But if this is an old backup, then it is more concerning for me.

They showed the WASM image is 5mb vs 30mb for the alpine Docker image. So that’s 25mb of overhead due to the alpine distro?

How is it possible that the image size is so much smaller with the WASM image compared to the Docker image? They need to ship the entire php runtime compiled to WASM, so I don’t see how it can be smaller

I agree that product managers should set the product direction. But my personal anecdote is that they have too much say in what engineers do and when, to the extent that the default answer of engineering teams to everything becomes “talk to

Love it. But one suggestion, which I’ve been looking for, is to fill the knockouts bracket based on the current group standings. That’s a great way to build up the excitement

Best of luck to OP, and there are some solid suggestions in this thread! Just wanted to add that the wholesale adoption and normalization of WFH and remote culture in tech is worrying and will only make this type of issue worse and more com

I work in ML engineering, and I’ve seen people work on a problem for the better part of a year with little to show for it. The non-progress gets on leadership’s radar, so even more resources get directed to crack what should be a solvable b

The Apache Arrow project is led by the creator of Pandas, which is one of the most important packages in the Python ecosystem. I agree Apache has some half-baked projects, but I think Arrow has the track record and backing to achieve its go

I share the frustration with how many A/B testing driven development processes end up. Leads to a very iterative process with lots of small changes, rather than big bets. Also, trying to get statistical significance from iterative chan

The outrage towards Facebook causing divisiveness is a red herring. You want to see divisive content, go to foxnews vs cnn. Pretty much the entire media is partisan and biased towards their constituents' points of view. For Facebook, i

This "analysis" is so wrong.. power is already dominated entirely by Shiaa governments, except for Kurdistan region, but that has little to no effect outside Kurdistan. The problem is that much of the current government officials

So how do they determine whether a user has viewed a post already? I would think that unique counting is accomplished using the hyperloglog counter, but the article says that this decision is made by the Nazar system, which doesn't use
