This isn’t true; LiDAR points provide an intensity value that provides information about surface material and ambient environment. Further, this information is influenced by angle …

Many people also don’t do well in high stakes problem solving situations even when not being watched. I’m not suggesting OP is dumb, but if someone is setting hiring criteria and t…

Who are you trying to convince?

I genuinely don’t believe you’re coming at this from a business stakeholder POV, which is fair for HN. But if you have to advocate for a devops org outside of some massive global s…

I think these arguments often miss the “for who” both in the producer and consumer sense. If you have a team or teams of engineers, having one or two people deal with all the dev-o…

I think this has been going on for at least 2000 years… It doesn’t matter if it’s crypto or gold, there will always be people manipulating financial systems, but that doesn’t mean …

That’s a rather myopic view. You could look at L2s as a sort of credit card system, and from a systems and technology POV there’s nothing inherently “scammy” about it. For web3 app…

If it was a person, you shouldn’t have responded on a Sunday before a holiday. You’re at the bottom of their inbox now. Also, try to hold the questions for a live chat if you’re in…

Interesting, looks like it’s using a combination of hardware, vehicle checks, LoRa (Helium?), ML, and good old fashioned Humans for verification. If they can scale it globally and …

WDYT about initializing a limit and having only one return? For/else in some languages is kind of interesting, too. I’m indifferent in practice (whatever’s readable to others is us…

You’re a curious person and see that the back door to a closed restaurant was left unlocked. You should let them know, but make sure you find out how big of a screw up the closing …

Even in SF/Bay Area, 400 isn’t as common as level.fyi would have you believe. You can’t (easily) trade equity appreciation or pre-liquid options for cash. Yes, in SF there are comp…

I’ve been able to download the app over plane WiFi for free. It used to be a little-known hack for free internet once upon a time.

The “right way” also needs to be maintained and refactored over time. That gets increasingly expensive the more in-house or low-level things are.

Can you be a good musician if you always make mistakes while performing? Maybe you’re a better composer or producer then, but it’s on whoever leads the group of musicians to organi…

Why? Assuming we’re talking about normal employee options, if you’re early and get a big % that gets diluted, someone with a smaller % later can end up with more shares.

But your username is not random.

Programming language/etc. is typically not a huge factor for high paying jobs. If I’m giving you a lot of money, you’ll learn whatever you need to ASAP.

News to me. Company value, dilution, risk, revenue, profit, outlook, etc. have significant weight.

20% of the job that applies 80% of the time.

so… your brother in law used opiates for 14 years until he overdosed on heroin, and you’re blaming weed? I’d say a family that didn’t help him successfully overcome his 14 year add…

Not to be too snarky, but perhaps the onus is on you to do some homework if you want to understand a niche article for which you lack context? Laying out matrices like that is pret…

You don’t have to always use the DOM. You can render in another thread, or even run compute in another thread and use the animation frame system to handle updates. Having said that…

A company with a few people vs. a company with a lot of people are two different beasts. If things are not rigidly defined, it can be a lot more effective for people to be around e…

Why would it be worse? Why would you write p instead of phi? I would, however, point out that to call this function, you need to separately compute lengths of sides. Where do those…
