This isn’t true; LiDAR points provide an intensity value that provides information about surface material and ambient environment. Further, this information is influenced by angle and distance. Lane lines and road signs in particular typica

Many people also don’t do well in high stakes problem solving situations even when not being watched. I’m not suggesting OP is dumb, but if someone is setting hiring criteria and thinks they need X skillset judged by Y, I think there’s a go

I genuinely don’t believe you’re coming at this from a business stakeholder POV, which is fair for HN. But if you have to advocate for a devops org outside of some massive global scale or as a small % of revenue, you’re doing something wro

I think these arguments often miss the “for who” both in the producer and consumer sense. If you have a team or teams of engineers, having one or two people deal with all the dev-ops stuff makes a lot of problems go away. But if you have a

I think this has been going on for at least 2000 years… It doesn’t matter if it’s crypto or gold, there will always be people manipulating financial systems, but that doesn’t mean any system is inherently good or bad. https://en.

That’s a rather myopic view. You could look at L2s as a sort of credit card system, and from a systems and technology POV there’s nothing inherently “scammy” about it. For web3 applications of any meaningful large scale, L2 solutions are n

If it was a person, you shouldn’t have responded on a Sunday before a holiday. You’re at the bottom of their inbox now. Also, try to hold the questions for a live chat if you’re interested in the company. It sounds like you really want to

Interesting, looks like it’s using a combination of hardware, vehicle checks, LoRa (Helium?), ML, and good old fashioned Humans for verification. If they can scale it globally and at high frequency for imagery, that’s a very novel justifica

WDYT about initializing a limit and having only one return? For/else in some languages is kind of interesting, too. I’m indifferent in practice (whatever’s readable to others is usually best), but I like the limit approach in theory.

You’re a curious person and see that the back door to a closed restaurant was left unlocked. You should let them know, but make sure you find out how big of a screw up the closing manager caused so s/he can be dealt with or the process

Even in SF/Bay Area, 400 isn’t as common as level.fyi would have you believe. You can’t (easily) trade equity appreciation or pre-liquid options for cash. Yes, in SF there are companies that give a lot of liquid RSUs, but most engineer

I’ve been able to download the app over plane WiFi for free. It used to be a little-known hack for free internet once upon a time.

The “right way” also needs to be maintained and refactored over time. That gets increasingly expensive the more in-house or low-level things are.

Can you be a good musician if you always make mistakes while performing? Maybe you’re a better composer or producer then, but it’s on whoever leads the group of musicians to organize that. Jerks who randomly push buggy code straight to mast

Why? Assuming we’re talking about normal employee options, if you’re early and get a big % that gets diluted, someone with a smaller % later can end up with more shares.

Programming language/etc. is typically not a huge factor for high paying jobs. If I’m giving you a lot of money, you’ll learn whatever you need to ASAP.

News to me. Company value, dilution, risk, revenue, profit, outlook, etc. have significant weight.

so… your brother in law used opiates for 14 years until he overdosed on heroin, and you’re blaming weed? I’d say a family that didn’t help him successfully overcome his 14 year addiction is a more plausibly causal relationship, which is als

Not to be too snarky, but perhaps the onus is on you to do some homework if you want to understand a niche article for which you lack context? Laying out matrices like that is pretty standard, especially for a post about vectorization.

You don’t have to always use the DOM. You can render in another thread, or even run compute in another thread and use the animation frame system to handle updates. Having said that, maybe a little less than 10 years ago, we achieved the des

A company with a few people vs. a company with a lot of people are two different beasts. If things are not rigidly defined, it can be a lot more effective for people to be around each other, especially in the phase of spontaneous brainstor

Why would it be worse? Why would you write p instead of phi? I would, however, point out that to call this function, you need to separately compute lengths of sides. Where do those come from? How are coordinates stored? How are you wiring a

Effort to refactor is something to consider, and verbosity makes this harder as you get lower level. Another thing to consider is the very verbose names can be something that people actively avoid for clean code, and you could end up with s

When employees have high variance, or some other issue, I expect a good manager to debug it. It’s not that hard to figure out your 35% impact is because of your suboptimal juggling of two jobs. We just let someone go for this (proved of c

I think you’re misunderstanding the transient nature. There are always people coming in and out, and while that growth rate of new people has slowed down bit (it’s still positive) and the rate of people leaving temporarily went up, it will
