- coolThingsFirstthis is the dumbest thing that ive ever seen lmfao
- Another hot war.
Western world will face a new generational war to uphold democracies.
Ai bubble pops and causes turmoil in the economy, software jobs will be back.
I get swole. In bank account and muscles.
LLM progress will platoue.
- Funny this is posted on HN since the HN hiring threads contains companies that have been posting the same job offer for years straight. Zero due dilligence done. 60-70% of jobs are fake jobs nowadays.
- job fair for which jobs? there are barely any jobs left.
- Yes they decapitated careers now when the bubble is about to burst, well sorry.
- What is your view should lower level details be taught as part of DB courses in uni or not?
- Despite being a systems level programming expert, his criticism of OOP is utterly otherworldly terrible.
There are tons of problems where you don't need inheritance and can just use composition but let's just assume that was too impure as well. Then you can just use OOP ideas like encapsulation to map the data and the methods working on the data together. If I have a vector class, it makes sense that I overload the + operator to do things like v3 = v1 + v2.
That's orders of magnitude better than saying v3 = vector_add(v1, v2). Free functions instead of encapsulation are ridiculous. car_print(car) is a lot crapper than just saying car.print(). Hiding implementation details is how we get to build nice abstract things where we don't have to worry about implementation details. He is a low-level programmer through and through and can't even imagine why someone may prefer or enjoy a more abstract way of programming.
For more on this Ruby has excellent OOP support and it has permitted people to create insane amount of value. Rails for example is phenomenal. If you don't throw the baby with the bathwater OOP can be a phenomenal technique for organizing large codebases.
- The comments are so naive, in which world do you think Russia would beat Germany on german soil?
Russians are locked in Ukraine and are barely making progress. Also with which army is this takeover of Europe supposed to happen with? Russia lost millions of its young men in Ukraine. Fake fears, being prepared is always nice but the paranoia is ridiculous. Even a US China coaliation couldn't threaten Europe domestically let alone Russia.
- We just pretended the genders were equal in a time of plenty now time to face the reality.
- This is very debatable. The courses look like they were recorded in the 90s.
The DB course particularly sticks out. My undergrad's DB course was fathoms harder than this. This is what you'd expect a highschooler should be able to learn through a tutorial not a university course.
If it doesn't talk about systems calls like mmap, locking and the design of the buffer pool manager, it's not a university Database course it's a SQL and ER modelling tutorial.
- How and how precise is the end data?
- Google has monopoly of places API, I tried foursquare and their public dataset and got tons of wrong locations of the places. It even got the location of the Eiffel tower wrong.
- Hire fast and fire in 2 days like Elmo told them is the new playbook. Keep teams super lean, 20 devs max to keep Dropbox working. Question is why would a staff engineer that can create a new tech on the scale of complexity of Netflix, X etc even need a job.
Doesn't take too much IQ to create an LLC and buy a domain name.
- In other words you have competitive advantage because your cloud costs will be 10x less.
This is exactly what 10 years of experience did for you. Why complain?
- Smells like the next SBF case.
- How on earth would gzipping larger amount of data be more efficient than gzipping smaller amount of data?
- George Carlin put this very succintly: "it's a big club and you ain't in it".
