Hello everybody! I've scaled a data engineering team at my current company from just myself to 10 people over this past year. As part of that effort, I designed our internal technical interviewing loop for data engineers, and candidate

This looks awesome, thanks for building this! I really like how it's hosted on serverless stuff and therefore we can use it for long-running personal projects and MVPs.

Are there material differences between wireless and wired Internet w.r.t. infrastructure? Is wired Internet easier to trace or something? I'm not too familiar with computer networks, but I thought that they would be the same.

I've used HTTP/2 SSE for TinyDev (docs.tinydevcrm.com) and I've encountered the need for a reverse proxy and the unidirectional dataflow to be kinda eh, even if it is great in theory. I haven't played around too much wit

Thanks for sharing! You might have more experience than I do in this sector, I've mostly written tests for tools/projects I've owned for a number of years and that might be why it appears more self-documenting to me. I try to

After months of really bad audio in teleconferencing calls, hearing crisp keyboard playback was a refreshing experience. Highly recommend to check out the demo!

2021: The year of the Linux desktop? But seriously, I have installed Ubuntu 20.04.1 LTS on my personal Lenovo ThinkPad P1 Gen 2, and work Dell Precision 5550, and it works fine in both cases. Stick with it for a month and macOS becomes old

Congratulations to the President-elect, and to the government workers and volunteers at all levels who tirelessly worked around the clock to ensure our elections were free and fair. I think these next few weeks is a time for reflection, so

Funny little tidbit: my 1940s townhouse neighborhood has no universal front desk and hands out building keys to USPS for each townhouse. The mailbox is inside, and USPS is legally obligated to access it, so I know if USPS ships a package fo

Are they software contractors making a couple hundred an hour, or Lyft/Uber drivers making a $25 an hour? I think the problem some people see is many Lyft/Uber drivers don't have that wealth of choice.

I've heard you can use 151-proof grain alcohol in lieu of rubbing alcohol (which has disappeared entirely from store shelves for months) in order to sanitize things. Apparently if you mix it with vegetable glycerin you can create your

Not sure if you can answer this, but what are some classes of security bugs you can find with Pysa? I've only worked on smaller codebases so security I've dealt with is mostly AuthN/AuthZ.

Fun fact, in Ancient Rome people used olive oil as soap, and scraped off the excess using a...metal thing. Sometimes they put perfumed olive oil into their bathtubs. This is for richer folk, regular people used crude soaps. https:/&#x

I wish Excel / Google Sheets supported Parquet export. I've worked with CSV files and Parquet files and found the latter a vast improvement. Chunking data is trivial, you have fixed-size data types, and existing types are well-sup

I think the wealthier you are, the fewer "real" problems you have, so sometimes you end up making up problems or creating problems for yourself to chew on. I think the happiest rich people have a "wall" to push against a
