This is an extraordinary and disingenuous leap, and it doesn't even merit responding to as a proxy for your willingness to engage with others, but to make the superficially obvious…

Probably not, which is why an attrition strategy might work for both downsizing and trimming the fat, as the less motivated/willing to drink the "kool-aid" are filtered out and not…

Sure, but -- if you're reading tutorials to learn yourself enough k8s to do damage, as provided in the link we're commenting on -- you don't know k8s. Parent is a reasonable questi…

I would definitely pay at least the cost of a good eBook or two for this

I read the parent's emphasis in "even if they wanted to follow the law in good faith" on even . It's quite possible they agree and meant: I don't think they want to follow the law …

I'm no expert, but my understanding is that pig is a combination of - a language for specifying data transformations, and - an engine to compile programs written in that language i…

You've brought exactly as many sources to bear in this conversation as the parent you've replied to, which is to say, none. When admonishing others for their lack of sources and ma…

Sure, no arguments here about the existence of a top end — that’s moving the goalposts though. There is not a hard cap at 160K. As an aside, is this materially different than any o…

There are a large number of salaries reported in excess of 160K therein.

That is not true for at least SDE positions. See: https://www.levels.fyi/?compare=Amazon&track=Software%20Engi...

If you have an issue with the content of the OP's comments, you should address it directly. Dismissing a comment because an account is new is weak.

I am indeed glad to hear that! You are a very prolific programmer. I’m hope you’re proud of your work and that you keep it up!

Thank you for posting! I’m grateful to hear your story. These days, it seems all too easy to see only the bad sides of the internet. It feels like news breaks every day about yet a…

I know we tend to have little control over this as ICs, but I think the party line here is that 20 is too many people to effectively make use of most agile/scrum ceremonies. Do you…

Poets pack a lot of meaning / emotion into their words — you could think of them as “full” of the stuff that makes up life, like a pregnant woman is more literally filled with anot…

I don't disagree with you, and in fact I believe the point of the GP to be exactly this -- these idioms' literal interpretations are a bit nonsensical. I was merely trying to point…

The literal translation of “Ça va” is neither “it is” nor “it goes well”, right? The literal translation is “it goes”. “It goes well” would be “ça va bien”, which is also used for …

Not that I'm aware of! As you've seen, I see Big-O abused into shorthand for "on the order of" to the effect of "average case is O(nlog(n))"

Big-Theta is not an average case, it is a special form of Big-O and Big-Omega wherein the worst case is also the best case from a complexity perspective. This is sometimes true in …

That's not how words work. "I don't know everyone who is Japanese" does not mean every person who exists is Japanese.

Is there a grand realization i'm missing in the observation that all people's belief systems are composed of data points that lead to those beliefs? This seems tautologically true …

It's hard to disagree too strongly with a characterization like Russian Shill when you describe a donation to the Clinton Foundation[0] as 'her husband's "gift"'. Perhaps you'd pre…

How concerned should I be about my employer (sizable company, ~300 employees) being reticent to divulge our 409A valuation with me? I've had a hard time (read: never did get; only …

I tried to respond on the other sub-thread about getting downmodded, but I think this is probably more concise than mine. I think the key here is that workers are always going to b…

I don't yet have down vote privilege, but I have to imagine The GP (your original comment) got nuked because it is both needlessly inflammatory and also lacks a substantive argumen…
