Hard disagree. I am positive I could do this, but I do no cardio. The weightlifting I do has had little effect on my cardio fitness as it relates to doing things that would increase my VO2 max.

Do you really think that's the fundamental issue here?

My partner works there as an engineer. The org they work in had loads of people transferred to the "AAI" org doing data labelling. I find it almost unbelievable as well, but it is true.

Not really how it works anymore. Everyone just gets 4 year RSU grants with an even vesting schedule and no lockout period, and it has been that way for a long time now. I've never really heard of anyone at Meta getting options (maybe p

I read the book on release and loved it. The main themes and plot points are present in the movie, though it's overall a bit less nerdy and a bit more comical than the book. I think it is easily one of the best, most enjoyable sci-fi m

I for one hope not to live in a world where academic journals fall out of favor and are replaced by vibe-coded papers by citizen scientists with inflated egos from one too many “you’re absolutely right!” Claude responses.

I am not sure. I think we're talking about the one where Trump illegally and unilaterally ignored the sale or de-list deadline passed in said bipartisan bill so he could figure out which Trump loyalists would be taking over. I'm g

I noticed that, too. They seemed to tense up and notice it with enough time to spare to manually intervene and either slam on the brakes or swerve to avoid it.

Well for starters, maybe my new grad SWE buddy with 2 YOE will finally find a job after being laid off for nearly a year.

If you use YouTube this much, just get YT Premium maybe? It comes with YT Music, which seems like 70% as good as Spotify to me.

Do you actually own AirPods or just assume that's the case? Nobody I know has really had to replace their AirPods unless they lose them, forget them in a pocket and wash them, or decide to upgrade after a few years (myself included). C

I don't think wages are suppressed because immigrant tech workers make less money. Instead, It seems like the effect of the dramatically increased supply of workers would dominate, effectively lowering wages; i.e., you can pay less mon

Why think when your phone or the AI can do it for you? I imagine there are a few people in this forum who might have some thoughts about that.

I think also it's the reality in most engineering roles that you will often have to pivot to new technologies, help out on unfamiliar projects using different technologies (e.g., work on the front-end for a bit when you're a backe

I don't write Go, but reading this, it feels like you don't actually need functional scoping at all. In Java, I would simply write: try (SomeResource foo = SomeResource.open()) { method(foo); } or public void method() { try(..

It's not hard to imagine an alternative universe where Github is a steward of innovation for both git and the code review process; alas, this is not the world we live in.

I am not sure what you mean. Stateless RPCs, cache controls, client-side typing, tracing/observability, and bidirectional streaming are all things that strike me as very relevant to the modern web for all but the smallest of toy projec

In addition to what others have complained about, another issue I haven't seen highlighted as much in the comments is the infuriating explosion of content length. AI responses seem to have very low information density by default, so fo

This phenomenon really frustrates me on behalf of my peers. I'm not sure what the right answer is, but anecdotally I've observed many others struggle to get their first jobs in tech, while, meanwhile, I am mostly being assigned to
