It’s common for someone in a flare of an IBD to be unable to eat vegetables without irritation. You should seek to understand the root cause of an individual’s experience instead of invalidating their experience due to your own. If they bec

You can argue on the basis of principles that tourism is bad. The fact remains that tourism cannot be stopped cold-turkey without massive job loss as seen during covid. If you wish to stop tourism and preserve the well being of the people t

What’s your github username? I’d be interested in using that when it’s released.

The only time I go to see how ancient cultures lived without electricity and weaved their own clothes in in museums and tourist attractions. They’re also typically incredibly boring.

Neovim already can’t keep up by itself. The future of vim won’t be as a standalone application, but as a plugin into other IDEs. The support for Neovim and VSCodeVim within VSCode greatly reduces the utility of a standalone app for anything

It does appear to only support Bloom, which makes it currently useless since there are much better models with fewer parameters that you can run on a single machine. However, the project has a lot of appeal. Not sure how different architect

If an engineer with 20 years of experience is intimidated by a new grad then that’s not ageism, and not what this thread is about. If a new grad performs better then there is literally no point in hiring that engineer. They don’t bring anyt

You’re going to be bitter and resentful for a long time if you believe that the fact that you haven’t received a single consulting contract is due to big corporations working against you. It sounds like you’ve built a useful piece of softwa

The truth is that if they are without a job, then they aren’t highly qualified. A degree does not make someone highly qualified. Tech companies have always had trouble finding enough talent. If they can’t find the talent in the US, then the

Good code quality doesn’t guarantee success. However, those two data points indicate it may be necessary if not sufficient. There are only 4-5 tech companies operating at that scale with proven business models. Google and Microsoft being th

I hope you don’t believe you can’t infect people after 2 weeks. If so, you’re contributing to the pandemic and the spread of the virus through disinformation. If a patient ever develops symptoms it could be 2 weeks or longer. If they don’t

This is a clear nefarious usage used to spread false information. It’s interesting to see the only one supporting this view be downvoted. It’s not clear if the downvotes are due to not fully understanding the implications or if the downvote

You still haven’t provided a reason why this is a bad thing. Ok, so there are unsuspecting users taking photos of the local YMCA facilities. What you’re talking about is similar to the social graph but on a much smaller scale. The only reas

I believe that the author is mistaken in their judgment. Demand will rise since software is becoming more complex and difficult to maintain rather than easier. However, the closer your position is to “webmaster”, the more likely your job wi

A study never proves anything. A p-value only tells you how likely the results are by random chance. Presumably, the companies were chosen beforehand. It is unlikely to have happened by chance that it beats for 37 companies. That’s differen

Of course it is. When one approach is far more likely to introduce bugs, complicated interactions, and be more difficult to maintain, it is absolutely a reason to not take a particular approach. It’s one of factors you need to consider in e

You’re not looking beyond the most trivial services. Most complex applications are best designed and scaled through multiple services. For example, how do you handle long running asynchronous processing, distributed pub sub, or services tha

No one likes a poor customer experience. But businesses will always choose a poor customer experience over the risk of a business shutting down. That said, do you have any anecdotes about Google Cloud's customer service? Customer servi

I didn't read the article. But to think that a more reasonable person would have left the company is exactly you should think. If someone jumps off a building due to not being able to join their team of choice then there's a lot..

That attitude is a reflection of your internal perceptions. I got into all the companies mentioned and I chose Amazon as my first choice.

Are you in the Silicon Valley or Seattle? Location matters when you're talking about compensation numbers. If you're on a visa it also seems like your compensation could be less due to negotiation power. However, it sounds like yo
