In reality, the reviewer is thinking, so what have you done for me lately?

But how can you show how proactive you have been in your quarterly performance review without testing out various user funnel strategies, optimizing conversion rates and paying consultants for A/B tests?

'tech companies became marketing companies that employed tech' is the money quote for me. It is huge blinking neon sign that screams 'get out now'. Unless you are also doing the marketing of course.

They were more like things the go runtime was doing but which I had no clue or information about, rather than bugs. The top info was indeed rss.

Go seems to be still a bit of a black box in terms of performance/memory profiling. On one recent project, the go memory profiler was showing about 35MB allocated while top showed memory usage at 500MB to 1GB. In another instance the p

Friends dont let friends use social networks. Russia heading fast to dystopia is not surprising, really.

It would be interesting if the common availability of spellcheck turned out to obviate such reform. Technology would be retarding progress and enabling ossification in this instance.

Well english has replaced itself many times, just compare old english, middle english, Shakespeare vs now. It is evolution and english is good at adapting, but even so, in Roman times no one would have predicted English to dominate society.

Yes, currently Chinese is the main alternative with the most population and has some of the features I mentioned. It is also great for business with many people learning it to attract some of the chinese money floating around and lots of fo

What I would like to see is a language that is much more succinct, less bound in grammar rules/syntax but also less irregularities and ambiguities. English could evolve into this. Latin could have too but currently it is dead. Change h

While I agree that language policing like you see in France or the drive for culture preservation via language in various parts of the world is tragically misguided if not actively harmful, the one thing that gives pause is that we do not h

They really should have stuck with int main. What's unfortunate is the quantum leaps they've been taking in terms of complexity to just get an app up and running on their platform. But I guess that's the only way their engine

It's the principle of "first, do no harm". Almost nobody follows it, but there are good reasons it is the first and in many circumstances the only real piece of advice that can be given. Look up 'via negativa' as we

Jiayou! But I think there has to be innate demand for it, and for the right reasons, not just because it is cheap and available.

Lack of clean air to breathe and rampant corruption and authoritarianism seem not very conducive to a successful startup culture. There is a huge churn of chinese money trying to find places to go and get a good roi. It is not clear that th

The internet really should come with a warning, anything you say or do can and will be tracked and stored and used against you in a court of law (or guantanamo)

Yeah, turning up for an internship and telling the manager I did not have a phone and he'd have to email me and wait like everyone else was fun. No internet at home either so I'd go to the local library to catch up. It was the mos

But those probability models are really far removed from real world/human experience. No human is going to claim a leopard skin sofa could be an actual leopard for example. Not gonna be even a little confused. There is just a ton of in

The 94% success rate is in made up, limited tests. Real world, they fail constantly in weird horrific or laughable ways. See any Microsoft AI public demo ever. It's like the self driving car claim of millions of miles without accidents

Not in either camp, quit the nlp field due to disillusionment that it would lead to anything useful or meaningful. Both rule-based and statistical approaches are fundamentally flawed by not incorporating any real world information. Humans d

Maybe they do not see it as being a wage slave. Making it difficult to fire people can help employees take a stand on moral/ethical grounds and just plain refuse to comply without fear of being fired. Anecdotal, but french employees se

ARM on the server, finally. Good news for people hoping to move beyond the stranglehold of intel/x86 in computing. Thank you, US foreign policy, for the unintended side effects.

The question is how the Japanese "mutual aid" societal philosophy came about and actually lead to societal changes and development. Was it just part of the east asian Confucian ethics or something else? Figuring this out could be

'team has too much to do' seems to be the real problem. Will your solutions lessen the team's workload or increase it due to micromanagement? Seems to me the easier solution is to lessen their load directly, push back dramat

A journey of a thousand miles starts with a single step. Focus on taking that step. But purpose can also depend on beliefs. If you believe in reincarnation for example, making the world a better place is a valid goal, since you are much mor

That pdf is definitely the risky click of the day. Will it root my device and send over all my data to the Brits? Is it worth taking the risk? Well it was not worth it. Except for GCHQ calling facebook 'FBHQ'. That was sufficientl
