Not at all. The MBAs have taken over at this point and expectations are far too aggressive for anything like 20% time to exist. The rule of thumb is that they give so much work that even if we only complete 80% of it,…
What's wrong with a doctor refusing to treat a patient they don't like?
Should individuals be forced to perform their duties against their wills?
Even some smaller ones too. The Google Montreal office has an excellent music room!
Rust is good for writing performant code, incorporates a lot of the latest programming language research, and gives great error messages. You don't need it. But if you prefer using it, it's nice to have a web…
All this to get a feature that was already prevalent 15 years ago in oldschool PHP applications.
This is great stuff! To use this in Canada, we have a few extra requirements as well. Firstly, we have to separate our tax onto two lines, one for Federal tax (called GST) and one for Provincial tax (has a different…
I used to host a Janus server, which is similar. https://janus.conf.meetecho.com/ Was fairly straightforward to setup. Eventually I replaced it with Twilio as it was easier to scale across regions.
Definitely avoid makefiles per directory, see Recursive Make Considered Harmful https://accu.org/journals/overload/14/71/miller_2004/ The approach being recommended in the sibling comment to this is quite nice!
Did you try searching stack overflow? https://stackoverflow.com/a/43402649 If you dedicate a specific directory for all your JSON, then you can depend on that directory and it will do what you're asking for.
Let's say someone working for FAANG making $300,000 USD per year (including benefits), that's roughly equivalent to $150 per hour. Could they make the same on Top Tal?
What kind of hourly rates can you expect to find on Top Tal?
I'm a fan of this shop https://www.facebook.com/kiosquemontroyal/. Not sure what they do for international shipping as I usually go in-person since I live pretty close by, but feel free to contact them. They offer…
This slide deck is somewhat popular as an internal resource that gets shared around within Google. Does anyone know if it's by the same author? He has 13 years of Google experience on his Linkedin so there is probably…
I backpacked through China and stayed in youth hostels. Highly doubt they were bugged. They didn’t even have heating (we used electric blankets)
The most desirable teams are filled by internal transfers. External hires get the teams that have trouble hiring internally.
It's like arguing if a piano sounds better when played by one or two people at the same time. It's just different. Hard to argue that the solo pianist is "better".
> Being an effective manager often means buying cover for your team to do their work and evolve it organically. You hit the nail on the head! I might have to print this out and frame it.
The tyrannical boss is a classic trope due to the necessities of competition. Companies are unlikely to stay profitable if they’re overly generous. They need to profit handsomely to survive.
My fist taste of convolution was in a discrete signals class while studying for a B.Eng. in Electrical Engineering. You’re right it was an excellent approach!
So true! Anonymous masses vs private fiefdoms. Almost everything commercially successful is run by tyrants. I wish regulating anti-social behaviour out of industry was more popular.
IEML encodes a flexible and upgradeable semantic schema in a git repo where anyone can pull request! https://pierrelevyblog.com/my-research-in-a-nutshell/ https://github.com/IEMLdev/ieml
I follow the IEML project which combines semantic ontologies with folksonomies into a recursive data structure hosted in a Git repo. Interesting ideas, would highly recommend checking it out!…
Gary Bernhardt has a pretty good talk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RAxiiRPHS9k
The issue with slow execution is that you don't run the test suite often enough. I like running my tests almost as often as I compile my code. If they run fast enough, it creates the most addictive feedback loop for…
