Do / can expats just hang out with each other?

Can and do the expats just socialize with each other to mitigate the problem?

> It's something they decided to give him after it was decided that he should lose his job over the credible allegation of sexual assault. Is this true? This is propagating spin, w…

>I expected something juicier What does the quantity of employees have to do with the discussion?

I'm a software engineer that has an MS in Math (ABD actually). I was good at analysis and differential geometry. Any parts of the codebase/deployment I would be best suited to cont…

Digression: Terry Tao wrote a book on analysis? That's awesome! Recommendation: https://www.amazon.com/Introduction-Analysis-Dover-Books-Mat...

I think your ideal exists in backend/SRE roles.

Another major version was again released? Seems like literally just a few months ago when, just after upgrading my team's codebase to Webpack 2, Webpack 3 came out. Why do front-en…

fremont ave., stevens creek trail, sunnyvale saratoga, homestead, and stevens creek blvd. are what I frequent most. I'm never on the road (going somewhere on my bike) for more than…

I bike everyday to work in the South Bay, Silicon Valley area. Everyone I talk to here can't imagine life without a car, but I haven't had any issues; lots of bike paths here, and …

As a small example, I met someone at the gym the other day who told me living in the South Bay without a car would suck. I was surprised; I've never learned how to drive, nor have …

No, I left a couple of years after my MS degree, while I was starting to do work on my dissertation. While I do think that CS isn't as intellectually satisfying as math, it's defin…

Would you mind sharing what kind of software you write? This is interesting to me, since I'm self-taught and seem to have done well in my career so far (4 years in), but now I'm go…

I would recommend https://www.amazon.com/C-Programming-Modern-Approach-2nd/dp/... . There's specifically a section on organizing large projects IIRC.

What prompted you to review? Does this somehow indicate that you weren't using the course material in your job(s)?

I've gone through the first few chapters of this book, it's fine. The exercises are somewhat lacking though, in my opinion (the last course I did was nand2tetris, which was project…

So far it hasn't harmed me, and I haven't had an active account in 8+ years. I believe this actually helps me, though I can't really quantify or prove it.

I wouldn't recommend Spivak for self-study and a first exposure to analysis. It's known to be notoriously difficult even for good students. I learned from this Dover book[1]; I thi…

I feel the same way. Intellectually it seems like it's been all downhill since leaving grad school :).

Have you found any meaningful correlation between "talent" (engineering or otherwise) and tenure at a well-known tech company? From my experience, and based on people I know that w…

I haven't been on Facebook in over a decade; I didn't see that it had any positive effect on my life (quite the contrary), and I'm definitely not impressed by their lack of social …

I just signed up. Going meta for a second, this only works if you make using Helix a habit :).

Is there a "long-term" view for Helix where you can zoom out and see a map of your activity? Kind of like GitHub's contribution graph. I'd use this, looking forward to a V1.

They're completely different in functionality...I've never been able to get quick-scope working FWIW and not sure what the value add is for it (after reading the README many times)…
