This is so sad, loss of a good pilot. I only saw Dick fly once, a group of us had flown our LongEz’s and VariEz’s down to Mojave for his brother, Burt Rutan’s birthday. Dick took out his LongEz, and I realized he had more piloting skills in

It's not immediately clear to me from the article, but this is the city of New Brunswick, NJ, USA, domain makes more sense now. It's not New Brunswick a Canadian province which I first thought of.

Kyle was a fine CTO, and these are the qualities you listed. CEO is a different role, and without any checks in pace he’s pushed the organization so hard it is where it is today. Even the incident aside, just look at the handling and drip d

The actual title is: > Germans beat Tesla to autonomous L3 driving in the Golden State Which mashed a lot more sense since Waymo, Cruise and Zoox all have L4 autonomous cars on the road today in California operating with no human inside

Left my job in March, after a series of terrible managers I was waking at night dreading coming back from vacation. Being FANG adjacent, it paid well and I have no rush to find new work and I'm half looking and half taking a sabbatica

This role's been open for a while, probably just recruiting getting re-organized after being cut to the bone.

Nah, this role has been open to long, survived recruiting cuts, and it appears even layoffs. I wonder if FB will get so desperate they even stop trying to downlevel.

You’ll laugh but bear with me, Meta recruiter just reached out to me this week, so even parts of Facebook are hiring, and my relevant skill set. Of course I don’t care about VR goggles, but you just had large layoffs, why would I work for y

I’d have to guess, but fake internet points? The ability to say “I’m ranked 5th at blah blah chess website”. Maybe it’s not even to others but just to themselves.

I don't want agree but I do. I think there might be an alternate to leet code studying. I did Advent of Code (AoC) in 2019 to learn a new language. I then did some interviewing, and remember a few things on leet code problems "o

Plus I suspect the conversation rate of being raised catholic is much much higher than later in life without a religious background. Or in other words making new little catholic children is good for the church.

What does Jr mean? :) For example it's expected that our L2s (new grad) won't stay L2s for long. It's meant to be a very quick set of promotions up to L3 then L4 (Sr I) where things get real. Why would I care? Because along

> The best and most effective way to negotiate a salary or promotion is to have a competing offer. Yikes, who's got this much time? Sure when applying for a new roles, having a counter offer is great, but imagine applying for a se

You will get through this. I'm sorry you're not getting the support you need, this can create a lot of stress. You're making a lot of assumptions about your performance, since your manager is out who's filling in for th

Oh no! This breaks my heart. :( David and Ron Crane hired me for my first job in California right around 2000. I had no clue who they both were we just met at a trade show and I said I was looking for a job, we had this crazy interview whe

I moved out to a farm in 2003, before YouTube, and grew about 90% of what we ate. We had goats for milk, rabbits, ducks, turkeys for meat, sheep for wool, etc. We'd still go to the grocery store 1/mo to get toilet paper, etc. We

Sure…it’s fun. But also feels disingenuous in a way. People are rocking the machines in an attempt to get a free soda are killed. This is compared against unprovoked shark attacks. Probably a fairer comparison if you only count unprovoked v

I was pretty against the idea, then I heard the sporkful on why we like gas ranges, and a review of induction. Maybe it’s worth a test drive. https://www.sporkful.com/tag/induction-cooking/ Then you’ll be cooking

Thanks is, as the GitHub title says, for iot and embedded devices. There’s a whole class of these that don’t have the resources to run C++ or rust. Source: develop on a Linux system with 7 megabyte roofs and 16 megs of ram. Oh! We have a 1

This thing could have 20,000 containers on it. Thankfully it’s a 3rd of a mile long, so maybe you could offload 2 at a time, one helicopter on either end. At 1 container every 5 minutes....working 24 hours per day....that’s 70 days of work

MQTT doesn’t specify the payload format. You can easily have a topic with the data in protobuf and another with json.
