There’s not much need for turnover, plenty of companies publish quite a bit on how their systems work. You can look for recsys papers from your favorite company if you want. The Ne…

The 30 days thing is likely from GDPR requirements. You cannot keep user data longer than that after they request deletion.

It's pretty easy to do almost no coding at larger companies as a more senior engineer and become quite rusty. It sounds like he was interviewing for a position which he's actually …

400 GB/s is insane memory bandwidth. I think a m5.24xlarge for instance has something around 250 GB/s (hard to find exact number). Curious if anyone knows more details about how th…

SF is actually getting really fast internet now. All the new developments we looked at had gigabit internet at ~$80/month with multiple competing providers. It's getting to older a…

Some of the people I enjoy listening to (almost all violin): https://www.instagram.com/nancyzhou_violin/ https://www.instagram.com/joshuabrownviolinist/ https://www.instagram.com/k…

You can just buy it on Amazon right now, they're actually not too hard to find. You can also find it in store at original MSRP.

Your thinking rate might be fixed (or more likely, decreasing with time), but one thing you can do, which is not mentioned here, is become more efficient. This means looking for wa…

Obviously high supply of animators is the main reason, but I wonder if part of it is that pirating/illegal streaming sites are extremely common for anime. All of the people I know …

I use http://intonia.com/index.shtml for this purpose. It's available on Android/iOS as well. It's not free, but I think the functionality is a bit better than this. It handles fas…

This is the shortest common supersequence problem ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shortest_common_supersequence_... ). It's NP-hard if you include repeating numbers; there's no sim…

What is going on here? Why have none of the commenters read the article? Perhaps because it's phrased as a question and people didn't realize it's a link? Anyways, this matches my …

This is not actually happening, and I'm sad to see how long this misinformation persists on HackerNews... Not only not technically feasible, it'd also get out in the numerous lawsu…

I like One Medical a lot, I hope they find some way to be profitable. Their doctors are far less rushed than any other GP doctor office I've been to, and their app is well done too…

I work as an ML engineer, some thoughts: The train/test data being imbalanced in the same way does give the model an advantage, but I don't think that making the test set 50% would…

I recently restarted classical music education, and have found it makes it much harder to listen to music and concentrate on my software engineering. It used to be okay if the musi…

This is really impressive, I didn't expect starcraft to be played this well by a machine learning based AI. I'm excited to read the paper when it comes out! That said, I'm not sure…

I don’t think that’s a viable strategy in today’s world. The kids I knew growing up that were pushed hard by their parents are doing much better (and happier) than those that were …

I’m pretty sure they’ll limit the APM (or do something more fine grained since not all APM is equivalent). It’s already well known that bots can outmicro humans in certain aspects …

The fact that this dumb “Google/FB listens to you in the background and uses it to serve ads” myth is still around even on HackerNews is insane to me. Do you all really think that …

> Members of the American Trends Panel were recruited from several large, national landline and cellphone RDD surveys conducted in English and Spanish. At the end of each survey, r…

We’re told not to talk about any details (even high level) of this sort by legal because anything we put on the internet could be used against the company in court even if it seems…

Yeah, I’m willing to bet the people that think this is easy and clear are not trying to implement it. I have not met anyone working at a large internet company (these companies hav…
