A CS degree costs something like 124 yrs salary for someone in a low income nation—and it’s a much longer harder road. I’m not AI’s biggest fan, but arguably, this type of tech actually narrows the gap. Even if it’s expensive.

Let me know when you do! I like the pattern and APIs you've designed for the SDKs—and would probably rely on a managed coordination layer like you've got. But, in order to build confidence in any product like this, we have to know

And the production infra for running isn't even available, just a pared down "development server" via SSPL. This is a long way from OSS.

Agree. This is absolutely deceptive. It's too bad how the OSS moniker is being misused these days...

If you’re supposed to replace modern cartridges every 3-5 shaves, I’ve been doing it wrong. The steel blades in a cartridge easily stay sharp through dozens of shaves. The reason people replace cartridges is because they get clogged with so

Databricks has been struggling to defend Delta against the fast-moving improvements and widening adoption of Iceberg, championed by two of its major competitors, AWS and Snowflake. This article seems like a bizarre, and maybe even misleadin

Agreed. “Built” is definitely the wrong word here.

He went on to say in a slightly devious tone, “I have no ulterior motives here and in no way benefit from this statement or its implications.”

This is a completely naive view of companies and how they work. An alternative metaphor is this: imagine you got a dog, raised him, lost your sources of income and couldn’t afford to feed him. You kept him anyway out of pride or loyalty or

It’s true that if you can deliver to expectations, you could do it, but here’s the thing, growth in a job isn’t linear. The amount you make as a manager, director, on up grows by more and more. Most company directors or VPs make 2-10x what

Most SQL dialects accept a positional or a direct reference to the column name. “1” represents the first column created by the select statement, “name”.

You aren’t alone. I’ve noticed a major uptick in these types of editorial changes that remove or obscure the intent of the underlying content. They don’t seem to follow a consistent editorial standard or voice, and are having a noticeable

Honestly, it’s not a moral high ground. You’re working three jobs—probably 40-50hrs a week at least—more time than you’re getting to spend on your hobbies or your family. Why not do one of those jobs, twice as well, in half the hours, and s

There may be IP-related legal consequences for sure, but honestly, if you’re hacking together multiple jobs to make more money, the most obvious consequence is your own happiness and self-satisfaction. With that setup, I guarantee you aren’

There’s also a product-related argument here as well. In order to start, most products require a lot of scaffolding—-modeling of business entities, general rw apis etc. These are well represented by the big “monolithic” frameworks like Rail

I've been scraping several real estate sites for years (not sure why exactly) and have millions of listings in bigquery. Could probably pull specific stats for you if you can give a bit more detail on what you're looking for.

Yep. That's totally fair and you're right. Would be interesting for him to compare / analogize that with the lock companies' approach.

Funny that right after he explained how he keeps his family safe by keeping his face and name off the internet, he spent the rest of the video focusing on the ineffectiveness and "downright stupidity" of security by obscurity.

Okay, but this is a function of the medium not of the people. Crafting successful feedback loops has defined great leaders across industries for hundred(s) of years. A bent toward experimentation is not something that software engineers pos

Agree. We consider non-cached requests costly if they extend beyond around $1.50 / million. That said, we do about 2-3% of requests non-cached. As a content network, that means that a million web requests can be as low as $.30 to .40.

Really frustrating. I went through this process recently. The data was a couple orders of magnitude bigger and so I tend to agree that maybe just straight to Redshift / Bigquery would probably work best, but here were our steps: 1.) In

I really agree with this advice. I would add that during those quiet conversations the best leads usually say, "we can make this deadline, but we'll need to do x/y/z", where x is increasing resources by a %, y is de
