I like realistic posts like this. She presents her experience and the problems associated with trying to diversify a tech team. She's sincere in her efforts, yet still finds she can't achieve her goals. Also, she brings…
I've run into this exact situation. I have a C extension that does some specialized vector operations. These functions use some language models that can be fairly large. The language models are fixed throughout the…
This is what Walmart has been doing for quite a long time. They will essentially take any return and charge the vendor for it. My mom used to work as a bookkeeper for a garment company and the owners were thrilled when…
Her name was floated, but the quote of her excusing Kalanick was probably not a tick in her favor.
I've been working with speech systems on and off since 1998. They're all pretty bad in my opinion. They're not even almost there yet. I remember studies from years back that speech is far lower throughput than typing…
Also, if you hear the term "refactoring" too much and the system being built still does not work, then that's probably a good indicator of bullshit. Engineers (and managers) need to be taught to resist the urge to…
I took the article context as a non-technical manager wondering why a project wasn't complete after using a good deal of resources. Usually "bullshitting" refers to the tactics engineers, or employees in general, use to…
If you're a competent programmer who uses these terms and phrases, then indignation is not an unreasonable reaction. However, I think it's a completely valid article if you've ever experienced the interactions between…
When I ditched cable TV about 7 years ago I lost track of these outlets. I can't say I've missed them. I occasionally open cnn.com if I'm bored, mostly because it's quick to type. I have a (physical) subscription to the…
Don't get up. I'd gladly show myself out.
Having been a "salaried contractor" for my second job, I learned to avoid those positions like the plague. When customers stop buying the company's software, guess who's the first to get the ax? Also, you get to sit by…
I interviewed there in 2012. The engineer called me, did his little talk and we jumped into the questions. His first question was the subset sum problem. The literal problem. It wasn't even couched in a practical…
And I would bet in a large subset of those cases it's because the person implementing those tests and the person interpreting the results aren't the same. And that neither understands basic statistical hypothesis…
