I'm certainly an outlier, but it seems intuitively likely that I'm experiencing a subset of what other people experience, rather than a disjoint. Ie, other people feel the socio-emotional component as well as the lust…
I'm not sure that's true. I have little to no sex drive (am "asexual" as the kids say), but I've had intense crushes/obsessive feelings about individuals with no associated desire to have sex with the targets thereof. I…
It's interesting how different "bubbles" of software development can be. For me, as an engineer whose worked across FAANG and YC startups in San Francisco, Angular has had absolutely zero mindshare for at least the past…
That's what the first image in the article is purporting to show (~33% of people in the general population over 85 have dementia)
While it's true that the article indicates FB views comments as positive signals, that's definitely not the primary focus of it, which is about likes vs "higher intentionality likes + other emotions".
It's weird to me that that article's headline emphasizes "angry emojis" have 5x higher score than "likes (and repeats it in the first paragraph) and then only lower down explains it's in fact that any emotion emoji…
Is Derby pronounced with the first syllable rhyming with "car" or "her" (/dɑ:bi/ or /dɜ:bi/)?
I imagine this depends on what circles you run in. I feel like in silicon valley, the modal image is of a FAANG employee making 400 k$/yr.
It is a protected title in Canada, requiring a license, but not in the United States. In the US, the title "Professional Engineer" is roughly equivalent and similarly requires a license.
He was right in a sense, the 00s and 10s were the era of the dynamic languages. In momentum if never quite in absolute usage. But my sense is that we're gradually swinging back around to static typing via gradual typing…
My impression as a 30 year old het guy in SF is that the big 3 are Tinder/Bumble/Hinge, roughly sorted in order of "casual" to "serious relationship". According to friends, OkCupid seems to be baaarely limping along in…
Seems to use the same uh, emphatic pronunciation so long as "gallo" is at the end of the translation sentence. Any text with something after "gallo" sounds more normal.
Oh wow, my mistake! I personally have the merger, and so I misunderstood which direction the split went.
* Spanish: "hacer" * French: "pas" * Italian: "casa" * Mandarin (written using pinyin): "bàng" * German: "katze" * Japanes (written in romaji): "arigato" * Bahasa Indonesia: "bahasa" Note that the sounds in these…
A good addition might be to point out good first guesses for the vowels in non-English names (Examples used assume a General American accent): * "A" as in "ah" (like "ah, I see") * "E" as in "e" in "pet", or the "ai" in…
The article alleges that sodastreams produce weaker fizz than commercial carbonated water. I personally haven't found that to be the case, but it seems like there's dozens of sodastream models and maybe I happened on a…
Of course it's unusual. If you're in SF and work in first tier startups/FAANG, your social circle is going to be mostly people in similar situations. It's a very unusually high earning and unusually rapidly high earning…
The easiest way to do this is to go to a small company where everyone wears multiple hats. 50 people is probably the upper limit.
I personally like it a lot. It's my go-to at a bar when I don't feel like drinking That said I also like plain seltzer and bitter flavors generally (dark chocolate, black coffee, IPAs), so YMMV.
American English speaker here, born and raised in Dallas, Tx. The stress goes on the second syllable for the verb for me ("I absent myself").
As someone who's never used Discord, what's it do better than Slack? Superficially other than aesthetics/integrations, they seem basically identical
The case was filed more than 2 years ago, but I can't find any follow ups. Does anyone know if there have been more recent developments? t the very least, has UVa issued a response of any sort?
I think the PagerDuty trio (Alex Solomon, Baskar Puvanathasan, Andrew Miklas) were 26-27 when they started it.
Only a single data point, but I was #13 at a (now) unicorn and was offered 45 bps for a new grad role. This was 7 years ago, though, so maybe the market's changed. (I, in my infinite wisdom, traded it down to 25 bps for…
This is a bit of a silly semantic game. There's "smart" in the sense of "general mental ability" (ie, skill in cognitive tasks), which is usually what the word is used colloquially to mean, and then there's "smart" in…
