This looks very promising, it's refreshing to see a library with a sane interface. One thing I'd like to see is the possibility to run the coroutines in the main thread, without spawning any new threads in the thread pool. It migh

You just literally described recruiting (for anything other than low/mid level employees).

Love this! I had to implement a half-assed version of this a long time ago at a job because there was a class of subtle bugs that popped up due to poor naming/documentation/spaghetti code that would've been eliminated by thin

Apollo's shutdown was a blessing in disguise, I was addicted to Reddit and wasted hours on it before going to sleep. Thanks to that event I no longer browse or even feel the need to see what's going on, it's like quitting smo

This looks great! I'm definitely going to try this, I've been hoping for something like this for a long time. Eigen is great of course but GPU acceleration is a bit clunky to use, this looks much closer to the code written by the

I write Rust and C++ for a living and completely agree with this. While I do like Rust in general, the language is so complicated that anything other than trivial programs is going to take way longer to implement than in any other language.

Wouldn't you still have to go through KYC when you cash out your USDT?

Do you realize that when seen from the outside there's literally no difference between what I'm doing and me being a "bar raiser" or "preventing false positives"? I'm simply using the system against itself

Yeah I agree, also with the home assignments. Personally I prefer home assignments infinitely more than leetcode interviews and they are much more realistic to what you do on the job. The problem is that some companies are doing both, first

To put it simply, I used to have hobbies before working at FB. Now I don't have time for anything besides work. While the pay is really good the job is a non-stop, grueling grind with no downtime allowed. I enjoyed my time but I'm

Yeah I know it's a drop in the bucket but for now it's all I can afford to do. I've talked to my SWE friends (inside & outside FB) and have convinced a few to do the same. Others simply don't care or feel it's d

Not my experience at all. For context, I'm a L6 at FB right now and have more than a decade of experience. I've never seen tech interviews become as stupid as they are now. In the last 3 months I've applied to a few places, i

It seems as if english speaking countries are on a race to the bottom to see who can get to 1984 first. It's hard to see if this is just incompetence or the creepy fantasy of power-hungry thugs.

The main reason why Amsterdam isn't a startup hub, and won't be for some time, is really simple: money. First of all compared to SV there is no easy access to capital. Want to raise 100k (an insignificant amount by SV standards)?

Pretty much, 80k for a dev position in the EU is very rare (except in London/finance).

Yes, I wasn't talking about recruitment agencies, I was talking about the ones with full time staff.

Hard to say, every country has its own market gotchas. Those 50k something devs are almost always working in salaried positions. I can count in one hand the number of technical freelancers I've ever seen or heard about but I also have never

Is there only a 20% difference between someone with 5-10 years of experience and someone straight out of college??

They aren't a joke in the US or the rest of the world either. It's only in certain circles that they're not valued. There's plenty of companies where an MBA from a well-known university is a passport stamp (and prerequisite) to a high payin

by cxx 13y ago
Absolutely, I completely agree with those things. I don't think devs here want to go into some kind of management position because they're not having fun in a technical job. It's because technical jobs in Europe are a dead end. You can make

That is not only in France, it's in all Europe. Salaries in Germany, The Netherlands, UK and so on are much much lower than in SF or NY. Developer jobs that pay more than 60k euro are few and far between. A 50k+ job is already above average

I'm in the normal bracket too and that is my experience as well. I used to max out on reports per week just reporting bad language.

You must be playing a different DotA 2 than me then. To me this is by far the worst community of players I've ever been in, but then I've only played in public games. I really want to like the game, but there are so many players with terrib
