> Those mandates were rarely the reason people joined. But they are a reason people won't apply in the first place, or decide to opt out once they find out in the interview process…

This sounds great in theory, in practice the number of companies hiring is not infinite and it comes down to supply vs demand for your criteria. Being a vocal contrarian may be a g…

It seems to me that the dissenting voices from software engineers burned out after having the AI hype shoved down their throats have been growing louder lately. Just this week I re…

You could if you were a Deist. Deists believe in a creator who set the universe in motion via natural laws but no longer interacts with it. A sentient, conscious Big Bang if you wi…

By "believe", do you mean just hold the belief that it somehow exists, as in "I believe black holes exist / dinosaurs existed (but this belief has zero effect in my day to day life…

Same lack of desire to go out and I don't even have wife and kids, or even friends for that matter; just one friend I see once a week. Whatever the appeal/reward of socialization i…

Also curious why every comment mentions just the number of rows as the only factor that matters. A 100M rows table of 3 integer columns is quite different from 50+ columns, 5 of wh…

That's not a problem, let alone the biggest one. You should just use relative imports explicitly.

I haven't used Airflow for years but it used to be quite clunky, not sure how much it's improved since. I'd look into Prefect and/or Dagster first, both are more modern alternative…

Why PostgreSQL only? The mara-DB dependency [1] claims to support more. [1] https://github.com/mara/mara-db

> Airflow requires task queues (e.g. celery), message broker (e.g. rabbitmq), a web service, a scheduler service, and a database. You also need worker clusters to read from your ta…

Yet another reason for trimming off old jobs after some point; the primary one being nobody cares going through 3+ page long resumes.

In which case you can just compare the dicts without performing the multiplication (which happens to be the costliest part for arbitrary-precision integers).
