So no one is going to talk about how the Model is a mathematical model which follows Bayes Theorem in it's core. It updates it's priors based on new evidence presented every day. T…

CS requires a lot of practice. Both in terms of theory and practical aspect. Without it is difficult to make connection between theory and actual stuff you can run on computers. An…

I call BS, that's not even possible. Even the legendary "tourist" cannot do it, in his own words. He programs like 2-4 hours on good days.

Did some Program Manager needed a promotion at Google? Looks like it. I personally dislike such changes, which no one asks for. Either people are just pushing their BS through Goog…

Hey man, why you have to burn someone so hard that they curl up in their bed crying tears of agony like a little pussy? Slow clap

I can speak 3 languages and can understand close to 3 more. And I think I am the dumbest person at work, damn why is my Brain so slow? :(

No they are not, speaking from experience. One debt financing round and your golden stocks lose 90% of its value. It's worse when you have exercised your options. Plus you won't ge…

This article reminds of my coworker, touts Haskell all the time, ends up writing shitty Java code which is difficult to understand and performs like molasses. Real world is not per…

It is trivial to write both of these on your own, why do we need unnecessary abstraction for such a simple task.

Only one question - Why?

You are a product or sales guy, aren't you? Looks like you did not set your expectations correctly with your engineering counterpart.

So people don't know how to supervise their minor kids and are now blaming games for it. Why is this even news?

What a terrible advice. Does author has trouble with discipline? You don't get anything by learning more and more programming languages. Programming languages are tools, be expert …

I see the same age my Startup all the time. It is go go go all the time. Except, it is not a plane.
