Yes. 4 day week, 3 months on - one month off, all kinds of things seem possible. What do you mean by senior?

You don't think it contributed at least a little to Go eventually adding generics?

First figure out if there is any kind of scientific consensus, and how solid it is.

I am really hoping they film it with similar production values to The Man in the High Castle. I think the pacing, and the mix of reality and fantasy, in that would suit LOTR really…

They get paid market but the extra supply of labor keeps the market rate lower.

Then why did you hire them?

I like how Australia is located in the continent of Ocean

Or maybe they just remember the Cultural Revolution where children were encouraged to inform on their parents.

Makes you wonder why people want to reinvent everything from scratch then.

"At either end of the social spectrum there lies a leisure class"

Didn't they already try that?

then again it might not.

As much as I like Scala I find that hard to believe. I actually look for Scala in the job listings and I never felt it came up that much, compared to say Python or Javascript. A du…

Even if you know what they are you probably don't have the problem they solve :)

I'm starting to think institutionalizing this kind of convoluted hiring/hazing ritual also keeps developer salaries down. Imagine if whenever you interviewed, instead of getting sa…

These numbers match my before/move-to-NYC salary numbers. He mentions the possibility of a raise at current position but doesn't say much about post-NYC/SF raises. It took a few ye…

Yep, this has been a long time coming. I grew up in Adelaide, even in the late '80s the car industry was politically contentious, needing large tariff protection to be competitive …

Or famous enough to be able to do so at no real to cost himself.

Is there anything about using F# that you would see as a plus over Scala or Haskell?

Well can they? :) F# is ok but using it makes me really appreciate scala.

Out of curiosity, why would you convert to an H1B?

maybe kotlin as a gateway drug to scala as a gateway drug to haskell

Is it the case that "unsafe" tells the compiler to not perform its memory safety checks on that section of code, presumably because it's not possible? (What would happen if you put…

Having done scala for a few years and only dabbled in rust, I also get the impression that the rust community is trying to have good default answers to questions like how to do jso…

Thanks. I've done scala for a few years and only dabbled in rust but it certainly seemed plausible that various decisions in rust, about what to do and not to do, had been informed…
