Usually, at large enough corporations, it's one of two things. Some random project gets open sourced, and it ends up on Github(see, for example, Salesforce) - or, more commonly, some subsidiary or acquisition had github…
Radar improvements have also propagated to consumer fields. You can buy a mmWave presence sensor for smart home purposes for ~$40 on Amazon, and the raw sensors for $2-4 in bulk from Aliexpress. I remember seeing tech…
Check out signoz: https://github.com/SigNoz/signoz OSS o11y platform built on clickhouse & otel.
Supposedly IQ test have a slight positive correlation with workplace performance. I could see leetcode skills(or, put more broadly, algorithms knowledge) having a slight positive correlation with job performance, but as…
I believe there were rumors they are developing a commercial model: e.g. https://www.ft.com/content/01fd640e-0c6b-4542-b82b-20afb203f...
Plus customer facing employees aren't just the people in the branches, there's a massive volume of phone/email/etc support any large credit card issuer receives on a daily basis.
After 5 years of this law being in effect, will the numbers balance back out to pre section 174? That is, does that deduction from year Y carry over into year Y+1, Y+2, etc.? I mean, this probably still matters a lot…
It'd be neat if the software was opensource and you could point this device at your own LLM, then at least you'd have some assurance it won't be e-waste if the company shuts down. But I don't see a world where you can…
Honestly in my experience every company I've worked at has had some kind of explicit cybersecurity policy or training telling us not to use USB drives, so from a CYA perspective I think I'd be very hesitant to plug one…
Yeah, you'd think if he had a legitimate need for USB storage then work would issue it to him right? And then in that case, if he was using a work USB storage device with his personal computer for personal data storage,…
Philadelphia metro area has very weak wages compared to most other east coast cities for tech. We don't have much of a FAANG or tech company presence here to bid up market salaries(outside of a couple of satellite…
I believe teamspeak is also pretty popular in the milsim community due to its support for mods in games like Arma 3
Probably from the RPI perspective it's just due to product segmentation. The Pi Zero 2 W is ~$15, has 512mb ram, and runs full linux with wireless compatibility, video output, etc. Easier to up-sell you on that rather…
Very excited for access to more RAM in a consumer form factor - by comparison, the most RAM you can get on a DDR5 motherboard is 128GB(actually, there may be 48 GB modules as well, so maybe 192), but at that capacity…
Well - since it's open source, theoretically you can build it yourself and "trust but verify" the audit, although there we're also assuming you trust your own judgement or that of your security team.
This is somewhat similar to the model we do at my current employer: ~4-5 days in office every 4 months. I would say it's definitely way preferable for me vs having been fully remote without yearly gatherings.
Anonymity can be both a good and bad thing. I think people are more willing to share their real thoughts in an anonymous Blind discussion than on somewhere like Glassdoor. The downside is the relentless trolling and…
From what I've heard, I believe they are paying market rate for the new role, so for people who have been at the company for a while and stagnated in the pay bands it can be a raise
That's true, it's misleading to say this is a mistake only junior engineers make. Perhaps the real lesson is in having the maturity to put your ego aside and reflect clearly on whether you are solving the right problem…
I think one of the biggest growth areas for junior engineers to reach mid-level and senior is recognizing when you're re-inventing the wheel. E.g. If you are given a programming task to do anything related to Excel or…
I'm really curious where the 0-day is in the code of the project honestly
Well - since he did say they were mostly people with the title 'scrum master' or 'agile coach' defending it, perhaps a better phrasing is "people whose livelihoods depend on it" :)
I think there's a bit of selection bias here in that only people who are either very enamored or very unhappy with scrum are going to respond to a hot take on twitter. But, that's besides the point. Scrum doesn't exist…
I am not sure on all of the details as it seems most of the reporting on this is based on rumors leaked from Blind, but from what I understand, there is both RTO and ReturnToTeam at Amazon. RTT means you need to be in…
