Well, not in a jar ... Right?

Ah gotcha. Apologies not a native speaker so the nuance was lost on me

Unless you're using a functional programming language that does not support iteration. (and even if it does support it, it's typically preferred to use tail recursion)

This sounds great, and in theory should work on a well integrated team of autonomous individuals. I guess as in most things, common sense is the key requirement to make this a reality. Alas, common sense isn't very common...

I'm currently working on a mssql shop, and on aws it's more than twice the price vs postgres or aurora. I don't see how you can justify the price difference

Never has man so eloquently expressed the frustration of millions (OK maybe thousands). The trick to use C++, is to use less of it. C with classes and namespaces. Oh and smart pointers.

I agree, I regret my use of the term "culture fit".

Please see my other reply below

You are correct, "culture fit" is not a good descriptor of what I meant. We hire people we believe we will be able to work with. It's not a popularity contest, we evaluate problem solving, analytical thinking and communicatio

I always interview for "culture fit". In my experience, that's almost always the bottleneck, and the technical part is rarely a problem. Learning a new skill is not an earth-shattering problem if you have a good attitude towa

In my experience it's too high. I see a lot of unit test code that doesn't do anything except add complexity. But again, I guess this will depend on the nature of the project
17.
by mlashcorp 9y ago
I may be in the minority, but I find the 50% unit test coverage not useful, and sometimes harmful. Caveat emptor - depends a lot on the project, and how often you are changing the code and/or the complexity of said code.

During my bachelor's we used this all-encompassing book by two of the teachers called Distributed Systems for System Architects (DSSA for friends). It followed a case study of a fictional company that wanted to implement a distributed

Going back to the white blood cell count. The gold standard is flow cytometry. If there is an interferent in the sample, or if the cytometer raises any flag, in some labs the backup plan is to do a manual count (100 cells) using whitefield

I'm sorry but this is incorrect for a lot of blood tests. When the theranos debacle unfolded there was a paper making the rounds (no doubt leveraging on the media's attention)that argued this point for white blood cell counting. T

For that, hire a programmer. Need a dependable architecture for mission critical software? You get the point ...

by mlashcorp 10y ago
Some people know how to program. Other people dedicated years to the study of computer architectures, first order logic, distributed systems, fault tolerant systems, etc ... In my opinion, computer science and engineering is not about just

by mlashcorp 10y ago
It saddens me that laypeople equate software development to writing code, that's like saying an architect just knows how to draw.

There has to be a better way ...

Yeah... Have actual machine learning experience as well, never heard the term leverage as applied here. Sometimes the nomenclature can confuse people, and I guess the original point about more in depth interviewing processes was related to

I actually find this clever and patentable. It's machine learning assisted caching for physical packages. Now it all comes down to the predictive performance of their algorithms.
