There's so many idiots in the AI space that are completely ignorant of how Machine Learning works. The worst are the grifters that fearmonger about AI safety by regurgitating singularity memes.
We use Clojure at my work and it's basically functional Java with parens. No snottiness or evangelism needed. The fact that I don't have to write Java OOP boilerplate is a big enough advantage to me. Even if you just…
You just describe Boeing's relationship with HCL and Infosys. I had to get out because I just felt like I was wasting my life bullshitting and delivering zero value to anyone.
Jason Scott's stuff is great. I particularly love his talk about his experience as a defendant in a 2 billion dollar lawsuit (completely frivolous).
It's my first startup, but so good so far. I chose one that was older (8+ years) and had a fun stack (Clojure). Doesn't pay as well as FAANG but I get some cool lottery tickets (RSU) out of it.
I guess it's just a difference of nomenclature theb. FAANG (especially Amazon and Microsoft) are just so big that the stratification creates a lot of roles to facilitate the org. Even at my old company (~5500 staff),…
>A senior engineer is someone you can point in the general direction of a business problem. They rarely get requirements, and never fleshed out. Their job is to understand the problem in consultation with stakeholders,…
>A senior engineer should spend the least amount of time coding compared to everything else they do during the day. If they don't, do you really need a senior engineer? How much of a 4 hour coding session is something…
When I moved from a remote dev job at an insurance company (~5500 employees) to a startup (~20), I was amazed with how much more async the environment was. There are no core hours, everything is a thread unless an…
Well, he decided that the whole world shouldn't hear about how the original founders of Tesla were removed and replaced with Musk. However, I can appreciate the distinction between muting people on your own threads vs…
I'm confused, are you talking about banning Trump (after he lost the election)? I'm not saying the decision is right or wrong, but Twitter thought a long time about it. I'm pretty sure the board wanted him banned even…
His whole life he's had to listen to shareholders. This is his one chance to just say "Fuck it" and just do whatever he wants. I would hope the businessman and him would prevent him from doing this. However like most…
Does anyone else feel like he's going to start doing petty shit like banning people he doesn't like (e.g. that musk flight tracker account)? He talks a lot about free speech but he has a track record of limiting speech…
>The one thing that really is rough for me with _both_ UE and Unity is that they're both very oriented towards teams with dedicated art people who can put out assets to use. BSP-based workflows where you can quickly…
This reminds me a lot of Amethyst.
"Coding" in Unity and UE4 simply isn't fun. UE4's C++ macro abomination is bad but I find that 90% of the value in amateur game development is in the art content. Since I'm not an artist, I've simply given up game dev…
"OpenAI" except everything is closed research. Why did they even pick this name?
Surprisingly enough, I'm a clojure developer and I really do like the hiccup syntax in Reagent. I haven't had the courage to use it in anything professional yet though. EDIT: To answer your question, I actually think…
Yeah, but the function itself doesn't return that view. The framework you're working in essentially composes the view based on the associated code and template. This is fundamentally different from just returning the…
If the only purpose of your site is to load some text or an image, go use a framework with SSG like NextJS. Then you get fast websites without having to pretend that writing stateful updates (e.g. jQuery) to the DOM is…
No, the template is usually a static file that is read into memory and served over HTTP or locally if it's a JS only site. But before being served, it's being picked at via imperative operations. And if it's really bad,…
Template based UI programming is like going back to the year 2007. Your views should be reactive. Elm, Flutter, React, Et Cetera understand this. Having a function that takes data and returns a view is much better.
I agree. These people hating on SPAs are mostly not frontend developers. They're backend devs that think returning an HTML page is all you need to do. Modern websites are very complex.
That's why you keep your language small like clojure.
I agree: neither Linus nor FSF have authority to interpret the GPL. The way you find out if a license is enforceable is if you take it to arbitration or court. There's not enough case law in this area to smooth out our…
