Your point stands, but the OPM breach was done by the Chinese government: https://www.fedsmith.com/2018/09/21/bolton-confirms-china-be... . It seems like governments have gotten good at cyber attacks but not s

I was given a 2-hour coding challenge once to build a language server for a programming editor. It had to implement 3 functions: 1. show help text (type/doc string) for a word 2. go to definition 3. find all references My first thought

You might find freedom.to useful. You can block websites for certain times of the day and it works with all devices. I've found that if you can break the habit of reaching to some site when you're bored the addiction falls off pre

It's about keeping things in perspective. Sure explore the reasons or try to fix the backward slide, but maybe we should have a basic posture of gratitude. I suspect most of us have it pretty good in life. Also the consequences for pol

And the richest person in the world 30 years ago couldn't afford a single iPhone because it didn't exist. Shelter 500 years ago was barely better than a single-room, unheated hut. And you probably didn't even own it. You were

For work I used to use Evernote, but these days I just have a folder of markdown files named by date. (20200208.md) Anytime I run a new command, SQL query or work on a new issue I try to write it down in the note before running it. Then I c

I've interviewed mostly at startups. I've worked in Boulder, Menlo Park, Austin and NYC. Once I spent quite a while in NYC trying to get a job only to give up, move back to Boulder and reach out to a friend to get a job. I'm

Right. I'm not good at those kinds of questions. I can code quickly but rigorous thought takes time for me. I need to ponder a design question for a while or work on two or three prototypes before I feel like I know what to do. FWIW I&

I can be very quick and can work diligently (grit my way through a problem) but I struggle with design and some high level concepts. Interviews ask abstract and theoretical computer sciency type questions and in real life I would usually go

On the flip side. Sometimes you're just not that good at stuff despite your best efforts. In college I really struggled with math. Which was a challenge because computer science has you take a lot of math classes. In my calculus class

Go is a general purpose programming language. It is suitable for a large variety of programming tasks beyond network services (though itself a massive problem domain) For example Go is great for building cli apps. Simple, easy to install an

Sure. That kind of code is very similar in both languages. Rust will probably be faster because it benefits from optimizations in LLVM that Go likely doesn't have. Go arrays of structs are contiguous, not indirect pointers.

Kubernetes was based on Google's Borg [1]. Netflix uses Titus and Mesos [2]. I'm not sure what Amazon uses, but I'm sure they have some sort of system to do this. They offer plenty of managed solutions for customers (includin
