What do you propose as the alternative? Whuffie?

This made me give up on league pass. How hard is it for them to just provide every single game for one price? It's insane. It's honestly a big reason I don't follow NBA any more.

Makes sense. Sounds like HFT or embedded/RTOS stuff? I don't know for sure, but I have to imagine coding agents aren't terribly helpful in those domains.

I just read that book and I can't believe it's not more well-known in tech circles

Are you claiming the researchers are bought off by billionaires or something? Are you making some testable claim here or just generally being conspiratorial?

Criterion Channel and Kanopy are very good (not perfect) for international films.

This is one of the absolute dumbest things I have ever read. People want their problems solved without waiting months for an appointment and spending an insane amount of money, cas…

I'm 34. In highschool I read long, difficult literary fiction for fun. Now I can just about manage good genre fiction (think something like Iain Bank's Culture series) if I put my …

I wrote this FAANG interview guide a while ago after doing the LC grind and interviewing a bunch of places. I email it to people when they ask me about getting into FAANG. Note tha…

That's true. Grind LC/sys design and then apply to every top company (not just FAANG) and get referrals everywhere you can. I got interviews places that had passed on me a few week…

The adjustment at the FAANG I work at is 15% less for base salary for the lowest cost of living areas. Stock grants are the same, if the stock price were to be perfectly stable thi…
