The only real correct solution here is to send mantissa and exponent as two separate integers. It's trivial to convert between exponents for whatever math you want, it can be as co…

“After two decades of Rule 611, it is high time that the Commission review its unintended consequences that have hindered — rather than enhanced — the long-term growth of our marke…

Is this competing with e.g. an embedded duckdb?

Name and praise?

Literally every company on the planet would jump at the chance for their product to be addictive.

Well then I definitely haven't been finding the good ones!! Any recommendations on how to comparison shop recruiters w/o a rec/referral from a trusted peer?

Definitely could be selection bias, but every time I have seen a copy of a resume a head hunter has forwarded a potential employer it has _always_ had the recruiting firm's letterh…

Not if you're a valuable candidate. An example (I have intimate experience with) is the finance/hft space in NYC -- if you're employed at a competitive player in this space in trad…

I've had to configure a few editors to stop turning my natural ' -- ' into endashes...

They can't, otherwise a significant fraction of the people they reach out to would just skip the head hunter and contact the company directly. Same reason these same head hunters w…

Refugee? Asylum seeker? Move to support family? Could be many things forcing relocation.

No argument there, id eject from any company that even started to consider such measures (unless they're adding a few zeroes to my paycheck)

I think this is largely off the mark for most engineering teams built around roughly-aligned peers. Sure, if your team is extremely lopsided or unfocused, and e.x. has one person f…

We're the employees taking advantage of that trust? Seems a strange thing to mandate unless that trust has been severely broken.

Because I've seen AI do it myself? It will very readily take a lofty aim from the brainstorming phase, maybe mentioned off-hand or out of context in a planning doc somewhere, and r…

You're looking a massive selection bias. Most people in tech are _not_ saying those things (e.g. most software engineers in my circle would agree learning to code at a non trivial …

Then your issue isn't with AI, it's with your bureaucracy. Just because your company is holding it wrong doesn't mean the entire technology is morally fraught. If your company's go…

I mean it's almost like having a moral stance on the assembly line, or calculators. If they truly do provide massive technological benefits, and it turns out the externalities aren…

Imo those are not nearly as mutually exclusive as you're presenting, as would be evidenced by anyone seriously reviewing the output of these systems, to the point it feels like a b…

Isn't it to some degree? My understanding was with index funds was that the index is required to be backed by some in-kind holding of the component index products by whomever minte…

Or it really just speaks to the fact no one can stand working with her for a prolonged period of time.
