Let them own index funds only. Individual stock holding is not an investment in the economic well-being of the country

Being the scale of Amazon has nothing to do with whether or not fault-tolerance is important to an application. In fact, amazon has far fewer real needs for fault-tolerance than many other businesses (its a retail site!). You should use emb

It depends - usually moving computation closer together is much more performant. You may be underutilizing your DB or spending a lot of roundtrips on networking and this is a good way to reclaim that. It does not prevent you from having ser

yeah this is where traits instead of hierarchies become useful - I should be able to implement the Hash interface for an object I do not own and then use that object + trait going forward for HashMap and HashSet. Java doesnt make this very

It’s not an oof moment at all - this decrease in valuation is inline (actually less) than most of their peers in the same time frame. The economy is very different from when they last raised.

I mean the british invented the word soccer to describe the sport. They also created the sport itself (in its modern iteration and rules).

But the upgrade....didnt go as planned? In what way was it a misrepresentation? It was certainly generic but definitely not exaggerated. Felt fine for an editorialized title

There is no crime wave. I’m an SF resident and lived in SOMA for much of Covid. This is mostly manufactured BS and does not justify surveillance by an irresponsible police force who can’t solve the crimes they see happen in front of their o

perhaps if you are driven and understand what you are supposed to be working on remote work is not a tall order. School, on the other hand, is not intrinsically as interesting as whatever career you chose . You don't get paid. You are

To be fair, you could just give them the question ahead of time. Email them 3 days before their interview with the question and say see you soon. That is much closer to actual conditions

look at companies like dataminr or plenty - they have taken over a billion dollars in funding afaik. That level of cash is pretty rare for successful companies from what I see. 100M is a lot too though - i don't disagree.

Stripe is actively moving away from Ruby to Java. All new services must be written in Java

This isn't really targeted for small devices - its very very applicable with large computers in datacenters (id argue those machines will benefit even more from this). Any time you wait on I/O you potentially park an entire thread

Appreciate your response but disagree with the premise that > That's how much everything, from infrastructure to land use to feed to water to labour to delivery costs for the same ground beef you'd get from livestock. There are

What solution wouldn't require its own specification + quirks? Whether its a Dockerfile or nix package I don't see the difference besides people tend to be familiar with only 1 of the many options. Im not comparing whether Dockerf

Its culturally acceptable to shame drunk drivers, smokers (in public spaces), and more. Im not necessarily agreeing we should but it certainly follows that shaming people for endangering others re: vaccines is in line with modern cultural n

you must be running tiny containers - I spin up a dozen containers and run a few tests every day. The entire test suite takes 45 minutes on my mac and 25 on linux. Docker for mac performance is atrocious

Do you really think there wasnt a single person identifying as a Democrat who opposed acquisitions? Not everything is black and white - voting for Obama does not force you to agree with EVERYTHING he did.

I've heard the same thing about C and why is C++ or Java necessary. Ultimately, I believe programming languages should strive to prevent mistakes early on in the lifecycle of a program. One easy way to do that in production software i

> They could not actually do this in Rust. They had to cheat. That isn't true at all. The implementation of scoped_threadpool being in rust is all the evidence you need that they did not cheat. unsafe is a perfectly valid construct

Definitely not true. Cross AZ is incredibly high compared to within the same AZ. We run a bespoke multi-master database setup that must be colocated to the same AZ due to unacceptable latencies when run spread across 3 AZ's. A few ms d

I think its pretty clear there are problems on both sides. Managers need to learn the correct approach to facilitate acclimating their team to remote work but each individual also could improve how they work so that remote settings are more

That's probably survivor's bias and not true at scale. "Right environment" is shaky - we should strive towards defining what makes an environment the "right" one and how can we increase the number of engineers
