The interface looks great. Handling of "to" is a bit odd though. 150 kn in km/h [277.79976 kph] - this is unit convertion 150 kn to km/h [-276.79976 kph] - this is unexpectedly subtraction. I expected the unit conversion

If anyone ever asks me "I want to burn out as fast as possible, what should I do?" I will send them the link to your comment. Jokes aside, I think that I had very similar experience, and it does lead to burnout

> avoiding a large severance package is cheaper. it sounds like greed, not incompetence. I just do not believe in a worldview where almost all CEOs of large tech companies are incompetent. Whatever the explanation for layoffs is, incompe

FANGM all did layoffs. And many other companies as well. That they are all incompetent can't be the explanation.

I'm not sure. We audit tax forms and money transfers (and we can audit model inputs and outputs), but don't think we audit people themselves.

It also applies to people: inherently insecure; their behavior cannot be audited or validated. We have a long history of prompt engineering attacks, which are in this instance called "social engineering". Still, people are almost

That's a difficult question - i don't have experience outside of Russia so no idea what is unique and what isn't. It is harder to get funds from foreign clients, primarily because customers are wary of paying money to a russi

Simple answer: Use tree if you need range access or to get elements ordered by key, and use hash otherwise. More nuance: - hashmap may be resized if it's over capacity, the resize may cause a latency spike. - hashmap is essentially a s

Oh. No, i don't think it's possible - i'd suggest to just use multiple subdomains. Technically, you can squeeze out some bits: there are 36-37 possible characters of which you are using only 32, so with arithmetic coding you

IMO most of Yandex/Ozon revenue is in Russia, so you a betting both on a company and on a ruble. Semrush, on the other hand, has most of its revenue outside of Russia (i think).

I was a software dev, and then a technical co-founder, so when the idea became a company and the company grew, i kinda grew into the CTO role. But I did manage to build a team and a product, so i think i was taken seriously because of that.

I use git from the command line, so this looked like a tool i would use. I was able to install it with apt, but i could not find any information on how to run it. Manual says "C-x g" [1], which obviously does nothing in bash. And

Honest question: is it worth it? Why would you spend your time on managing that temporary white list? Do you think that time is wasted, or not? (I apologize if my phrasing is a bit rude, but i'm really curious about that, and want to u

Yep, i second the clickhouse suggestion. Much more easier to understand than, say, mongodb or mysql codebases.

Right. I (incorrectly) assumed that "multiple" meant multiple versions for different input types, not necessarily multiple arguments.

The deal with multiple dispatch, as I understand it, is that instead of obj->somemethod, you define function named somemethod, which is defined for obj. Maybe some other code calls it. You can then define somemethod for other data types,

Yes, i noticed this after downloading, and even quoted it it my comment. The feature is called "baseline" everywhere in the text, not "preloading feature", and that's why i got confused. For example, "As expect

That looked very interesting. But I had so search through the video and zoom in to learn how exactly to separate events that stand out from the baseline (instead of, you know, just reading that command from the webpage). So, i did all that
