After fighting for years to work from home full time (and loving it now). I see one big problem I have no fix for, training new grad / junior engineers. Feel free to correct me if you have tools to do it, but I found training someone n

There's also the same price but more complex issue. Hybrid engines and washing machines are far more efficient but significantly more complex. Prices are roughly the same +inflation but the added complexity reduces lifetime and repaira

I think this is similar to sitting in a coffee shop doing work with a coworker. The game is the work you're primarily focused on. Your coworker is there but only occasionally engaging between thoughts. The Video is the background activ

I don't think it's that they "prefer their current provider" it's that they prefer not to think about it or go through the hassle of changing. Like if someone got an oil change and it works for them every time and y

I wish they'd just pushed for TSMC to open a fab in Europe, with incentives and protections. Micron has one in Italy that is basically shut down. I was once told that to avoid payouts, required by Italian Law, for letting employees go

I've been doing the no car thing for 4 years now after my last car was totaled in the middle of the night while parked. The thing that worked for me was to compute out the total cost I was spending per month on the car and set that as

Yeah I get that, the further east you go the worse it is, and my experience working with Indian coworkers sounds like a nightmare for them. I'm from Portugal so I was thinking of being there, 8am here is 4pm there, and 5pm here is 1am

Similar observation, on my tiny stretch of street I've seen 7 moving trucks since SIP started, far more than I've ever seen. I get it, If you just moved or been here 1-2yr I'd leave too, the costs would make no sense. I'

You estimate. Look at past 1yr then 5yr. get average per year. Then look at forward growth potential, maybe read the last two quarter prospectus... and kind of guess/ballpark. You could be wrong so come up with a lowest case scenario e

Yes, I manage a set of tools and libraries written in perl that are pretty large and service the whole company. That said we're re-writing them all to Python so more people can contribute... Saddens me a little I like Perl, but I'

One big one is farming, think harvesting machinery. There's a number of startups trying to get that going. I think most are not at the scale to be successful the way the market themselves, but their collective learning will eventually

While still an issue, many of the really bad offenders leaked chemicals for instance doesn't happen much anymore. Mostly because fab materials are expensive to get and purify. Simply dumping them is wasteful, so anything that can be sa

I don't get how they plan to compete, do they have chip designers? or deals with SOC manufacturers because AWS/Google/Microsoft are fast because of custom chips that link NVMe directly to the NIC and skip the CPU and some of

Sometime back Uber added this $0 delivery for a set of rotating restaurants. In my mind what I figured they were doing was clumping orders together to drive down costs... in practice I don't know what they're doing, but I like tha

I think it depends on your data / query patterns. Self Inner/Left/Right joins are one of my most common queries. I often need to chain joins in various ways to get the desired output.

Good review. A related good piece of advice I got early in my career was to do the tasks no one else wants to do. Less risky than "do the hard things". You quickly become invaluable and those tasks become less painful the more you
