Man up and be professional. Your (trivial) work isn't a romantic relationship.

Every programmer distorts the truth to preserve code he's already written. It's not pathological if everyone does it.

Yes, a teaching assistant / course grader does exactly this.

Accept two facts. One, everyone assumes you know and care about what they're talking about. Two, nothing that you or they do on a weekly timescale matters in the slightest to the b…

Besides two chicks at the same time? Nothing. I would sit on my ass all day. I would do nothing. -- P. Gibbons.

it is your passion to make markets efficient ... said no one ever. Incidentally, Ray is certainly among the better funded outfits, but by now, everyone can see generalized MLOps is…

We don't do it for them. We do it to to bring closure for ourselves. Outside of death, it's usually "What have you done for me lately?"

I dunno who this Alan Kay guy is, but he needs to get to the point faster.

A two-year MS in CS is precisely that. Most American universities allow precocious high schoolers to graduate in three years, but unless tuition money is a concern, a fourth year t…

Have him borrow 75k from you, then split equity 50/50. Most likely you'll lose your shirts, at which point, your buddy better translate his motivation and quick learning skills int…

Many twenty-something co-workers do co-habitate. Then they get married, and that's the end of that.

don’t see this type of licensing often. That's because it relies on people ignoring a $20 bill on the sidewalk.

What would life be like if there was no electricity for six months? My pacemaker would stop ticking, and I'd die. So no, I'm gonna go to as many bars, cinemas and video arcades as …

Try being less verbose. Waste not, want not.

I only remember 10% of what I read, so I agree it's not efficient, and certainly not fun. But reading is the only way to become a better writer, and that's still worth something in…

We didn't need that level of detail, and we can't help you. Tend bar, drive uber, or deliver Amazon. Accept that your crimes have you set you back for life, and a white-collar job …

It's called an aging libido. Your social circle never expected much from you, but it takes all of your 20s and 30s for the little brain to relent to being average.

I just had a robust discussion Truly robust discussions sometimes lead to published papers. Your discussions are ones struck up and quickly forgotten by fifth graders.

It's hard to imagine a C programmer so professionally ignorant that he's yet to realize C++ is a superset of C.

imply that it’s among the best we’ve got. If this and GP's response are inception-level sarcasm, then I'm outclassed. My initial reaction to GP was intended to cast a light on its …

My take - Kubernetes isn’t perfect Good to know. When I ask if a technology is worth leanring, I always assume it's perfect. I was also relieved to discover a new platform might bu…

If you had a six-figure job, would you bother getting a college diploma? Similarly if you had a Chinese girlfriend, would you bother studying Mandarin? Be honest with what you real…

You don't need teachers nor exams. You need 10 problem sets, and 15 hours of a graduate student's time to get you past hurdles.

As a kid I didn't see the point of abort, fail, and ignore. How about something simple like "Retry? (y/n) ".
