I interviewed with Uber in 2016 with the "crystal ball" team. Reading about R-crusher, I am glad that offer never came through!

But then Eddie Howe moved to Newcastle and is on track to get them into the coveted Champions League spots... Is that a risk you wish to take?

I am also looking for this information. I largely switched away from lastpass over the last 12 months, and only a few low-value credentials remain in it. But if this is an old back…

They showed the WASM image is 5mb vs 30mb for the alpine Docker image. So that’s 25mb of overhead due to the alpine distro?

How is it possible that the image size is so much smaller with the WASM image compared to the Docker image? They need to ship the entire php runtime compiled to WASM, so I don’t se…

I agree that product managers should set the product direction. But my personal anecdote is that they have too much say in what engineers do and when, to the extent that the defaul…

> The past two years created a new type of hype: PMs. Until the Tech Giants (eg: Google, Meta, etc) made PMs the ‘new normal’ of how to get any product functionally built and deliv…

Love it. But one suggestion, which I’ve been looking for, is to fill the knockouts bracket based on the current group standings. That’s a great way to build up the excitement

Best of luck to OP, and there are some solid suggestions in this thread! Just wanted to add that the wholesale adoption and normalization of WFH and remote culture in tech is worry…

I work in ML engineering, and I’ve seen people work on a problem for the better part of a year with little to show for it. The non-progress gets on leadership’s radar, so even more…

The Apache Arrow project is led by the creator of Pandas, which is one of the most important packages in the Python ecosystem. I agree Apache has some half-baked projects, but I th…

I share the frustration with how many A/B testing driven development processes end up. Leads to a very iterative process with lots of small changes, rather than big bets. Also, try…

DDG is the default search engine I use on the desktop and in iOS Safari for more than a year. I'm glad to see them growing and hope their privacy centric approach becomes dominant …

Great. How awful of us to not appreciate that CCP treats their ethnic and religious minorities like drug addicts

if using deep learning models, consider using distilled and/or quantized models to reduce the resources required for inference

Bravo! Such a refreshing take, and may yet become my preferred way of browsing HN.

It's ironic that that the parent comment has been flagged, leading to censorship of a valid opinion.

The outrage towards Facebook causing divisiveness is a red herring. You want to see divisive content, go to foxnews vs cnn. Pretty much the entire media is partisan and biased towa…

One of the names in that list should be Aziza, instead of Azia. It means dear or precious in Arabic.

Just so I understand, why does an ISP care so much about providing the DNS resolution? Anyway once you have a destination IP address, that'll be visible to your ISP from your packe…

This "analysis" is so wrong.. power is already dominated entirely by Shiaa governments, except for Kurdistan region, but that has little to no effect outside Kurdistan. The problem…

This post now says flagged.. Why would a story like this get flagged?

Open source packages such as Uber Ludwig ( https://eng.uber.com/introducing-ludwig/ ) - let alone the commercial stuff - makes you wonder the same thing. Such tools should automate…
