OnFrontiers | Senior Engineer | Hybrid/Remote | NYC or Baltimore OnFrontiers is hiring a strong senior engineer with experience programming agents to lead development of our agenti…

A CS degree costs something like 124 yrs salary for someone in a low income nation—and it’s a much longer harder road. I’m not AI’s biggest fan, but arguably, this type of tech act…

Let me know when you do! I like the pattern and APIs you've designed for the SDKs—and would probably rely on a managed coordination layer like you've got. But, in order to build co…

And the production infra for running isn't even available, just a pared down "development server" via SSPL. This is a long way from OSS.

Agree. This is absolutely deceptive. It's too bad how the OSS moniker is being misused these days...

If you’re supposed to replace modern cartridges every 3-5 shaves, I’ve been doing it wrong. The steel blades in a cartridge easily stay sharp through dozens of shaves. The reason p…

Not here to give advice, but always hiring and willing to grab virtual coffee if you want to talk about the market or networking. Info is in my bio.

Databricks has been struggling to defend Delta against the fast-moving improvements and widening adoption of Iceberg, championed by two of its major competitors, AWS and Snowflake.…

Agreed. “Built” is definitely the wrong word here.

He went on to say in a slightly devious tone, “I have no ulterior motives here and in no way benefit from this statement or its implications.”

This is a completely naive view of companies and how they work. An alternative metaphor is this: imagine you got a dog, raised him, lost your sources of income and couldn’t afford …

It’s true that if you can deliver to expectations, you could do it, but here’s the thing, growth in a job isn’t linear. The amount you make as a manager, director, on up grows by m…

Most SQL dialects accept a positional or a direct reference to the column name. “1” represents the first column created by the select statement, “name”.

In the past month we've seen a dramatic, seemingly coordinated, increase in engineering applicants whose resumés and backgrounds appear qualified, but who refuse to use their camer…

You aren’t alone. I’ve noticed a major uptick in these types of editorial changes that remove or obscure the intent of the underlying content. They don’t seem to follow a consisten…

Honestly, it’s not a moral high ground. You’re working three jobs—probably 40-50hrs a week at least—more time than you’re getting to spend on your hobbies or your family. Why not d…

There may be IP-related legal consequences for sure, but honestly, if you’re hacking together multiple jobs to make more money, the most obvious consequence is your own happiness a…

There’s also a product-related argument here as well. In order to start, most products require a lot of scaffolding—-modeling of business entities, general rw apis etc. These are w…

I've been scraping several real estate sites for years (not sure why exactly) and have millions of listings in bigquery. Could probably pull specific stats for you if you can give …

Yep. That's totally fair and you're right. Would be interesting for him to compare / analogize that with the lock companies' approach.

Funny that right after he explained how he keeps his family safe by keeping his face and name off the internet, he spent the rest of the video focusing on the ineffectiveness and "…

The irony that you have to log into Facebook to read the statement is not lost...

Okay, but this is a function of the medium not of the people. Crafting successful feedback loops has defined great leaders across industries for hundred(s) of years. A bent toward …

Agree. We consider non-cached requests costly if they extend beyond around $1.50 / million. That said, we do about 2-3% of requests non-cached. As a content network, that means tha…
