I think it's certainly incorrect (having known lots of people on both sides of that number, there are far far more below). Another comment thread suggested that startup equity is being taken at face value, which might justify the numbe

If you have the budget, hire a personal trainer for 1-2 hours/week. It's not cheap, but having to make the appointment or lose the money you spent is a huge motivator. They'll probably work you harder than you would work alon

Not an employee, but I'm pretty sure that the interview is the same for all engineering roles, unless you're very senior/specialized. I doubt that your interviewers will even know that you're up for a ML position specifi

I'd consider that bet on non-1:1 odds. You could submit a more strict version of it as a category on PredictIt.

I think the point the parent was trying to make is that responding to a recruiter isn't likely to get you ANY job, because they don't understand the job reqs they're recruiting for nor the people they're trying to place.

If you work as an engineer in the US you're probably an "exempt" employee by status, meaning that your employer doesn't have to compensate you for extra time. If you're sufficiently underpaid as an engineer that you

I happen to be an acquaintance of Rachel Myers, and while she does do not-for-profit stuff outside of work, do you have some evidence that she's a "social impact employee" there? It's not obvious on her Twitter/Gith

For Java, I think Google Guava or Apache Commons are more of the de facto standard library enhancements than the one linked in the article.

This is the Columbia Journalism Review. It's not saying science is stupid, it's saying that reporters are too quick to publish study results, when not enough research has been done on the subject topic.

Very often state machines are the best representation for domain objects which have a life cycle. If you have a lot of user submitted content shared among other users, a common set of states could be: "new", "approved-by-other-user", "verif

[This response is a guess, and very generalized] You probably won't handle every HTTP edge case as well as nginx defaults, and you don't really need the control at that level to implement a functional, high performance web app.

If you write Ruby and go to a SFRuby Meetup, you will learn quickly that even if you are looking for work it is quite annoying to say you are looking for work, as the recruiters swarm in like vultures to fresh carrion.

I think Blue Bottle has more ambitious plans. Have you been to any of the coffee shops in SF (maybe more in the Outerlands) that serve Blue Bottle? They usually have it decal'ed into their front window and the brand displayed prominently. W

Greg Proops is fantastic, but not everybody will like him. But he definitely ventures into less funny and more socially conscious territory with comfort and without pretension (ok, maybe a little pretension).

$250k easily? I think that's a level of skill that is not at all common. I'm not saying nobody gets paid that all, but developer compensation needs to be more realistically looked at on this forum. I'd say the majority make less than $100k,
