That's kind of what I figure, though I didn't articulate that super well. My dream used to be working for Google, but it never really occured to me that it would pay substantially …

It's context that I had, but is easily forgotten, especially with the .ca TLD. There's taxes and student debt to service as well—probably.

Yikes. Dig the name btw.

That's also easy to forget ;) 115k ain't going too far in that respect. The U.S is a different place as well, and even that 100k signing bonus won't go that far in replacing studen…

I don't know why I ever bother reading things like this. On one hand, I'm not driven by money, so it doesn't motivate me. On the other, my perspective of having been in software fo…

That's where DC and crossfilter might come in handy. One of their demos uses 250k rows of airline transit data and handles it well.

I'm at the same place I think. If we're similar, part of the draw of frontend initially was that it was a true and interesting engineering problem. It was a unique and challenging …

At least your name isn't Virgin Edit: Might as well leave a link for regular people https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/virgin-vs-chad

While I haven't been, this is something I find tricky to reconcile, but appreciate that I'm not the only one. My main interest would be the super large scale hardstyle festivals— w…

Out of curiosity, had you done an undergraduate research project / thesis before getting into an MSc program? Also, what do you mean by a professional Masters? I'm still learning t…

That would surprise me. The only people I know who think about Facebook—the actual product Facebook not its subsidiaries—are those that locked into it during their late teens or ea…

I don't dissagree, but the nature of them being "far, far, from perfect" includes things that don't fall under the actions or behaviour of a person and end up being fixed for a per…

It's very much a communication issue, but also an incompetance political game playing issue. To answer your question, I put a ton of energy into doing exactly what you suggest, whi…

I feel you. See me other comment itt.

Lots of conceited sounding comments here from devs who either have an inflated sense of communication skills or stopped reading the article quite quickly. In my personal experience…

Credit scores measures behaviour in the same way that financial standing measures character or skin colour tells you something useful about a person. It try's to proxy one with ano…

Really? That theme of generosity is notably absent from most of your comments unless they glorify Google. A positive impression of someone is hard to come by if they seem inordinat…

Based on this, and the consistent theme that seems to run through the rest of your comments, it seems to me that all of these companies could stand to do more to assess the charact…

I don't think I quite understand what you mean here, but I think it might be a good point. Is there any way you could rephrase this or clarify the connection to my anecdote?

My first thought in response to you was "ah comeon it's not that bad". But then I thought back to when I was fired from my dumb corporate stooge job that burned me out. I literally…

Probably get over yourself tho

Again, I disagree. It's arrogant to say "Hey, X thing I believe in can cure you of Y disease because so many people think it can and you're just ignorant. Nevermind the fact that i…

I used to think so too, and at one point I think it was used too broadly to describe anyone with any left-of-center progressive ideas. But, more and more people are describing them…

While Yoga may be a great way to improve flexibility, among other physical benefits, prana is no more than a quack belief if I were to be generous. Unless you're thinking of someth…

We do have a variety of problems with internet freedom in Canada, but it's not just children that the article mentions. It's about identifying high risk individuals in general. The…
