144 please. :)

For real though, the difference between 60 and 144 is night and day. I can't go back to 60 after playing with 144. I wonder if going beyond 144 would have the same effect.

How have these books changed your life?

How did you even begin to make this list? Out of how many books have you listed these 15? How have you applied the knowledge from these books?

Some of these are not particularly information dense, or technical guides, so why do you consider them bibles for you?

Coveo | SOLUTION DEVELOPER - IMPLEMENTATION | Montreal & Quebec City, Canada | Full-time, ONSITE

As a solution developer, you will implement search-based applications that change the digital experience for our customers and their customers. Coveo has game-changing features out-of-the-box, but you will need great business acumen and technical skills to configure it perfectly to our customers' environment. Indexing, in the cloud, millions of documents in hundreds of different systems and delivering search results that are relevant to the user’s situation in less than a second brings its own particular challenges.

Profile:

* You have very strong coding skills that you developed either during your degree in computer science or with years of experience in the business. (A mix of both is ideal!)

* You are better than most with JS, Python, C# and ASP.NET. You are also comfortable working on Windows AND Linux.

* You can suit up one day and wear a Star Wars t-shirt the next…

* You have a thing for business… You love creating value and improving performance.

While we offer all the perks people come to expect of a job (great new offices, top of the line equipment, competitive salaries and insurance, unlimited cappucinos and snacks, nerf gun battles), we think the best part about working with us is simply being excited about going to work every day. On a day to day basis you'll continually face interesting challenges, have great autonomy and you'll be able to bring your ideas to the table knowing that your team genuinely wants to hear them.

Interview Process: phone screen - interview - tech test - offer.

This is kind of thing is not new. Canada doesn't let people with DUIs enter the country. They also inspect electronics and have for a number of years.

And marijuana is not legal anywhere in the US at the moment. There are simply some states that don't have state level criminal laws associated with marijuana.

I also am a data scientist, after attending Wharton. Understanding how businesses operate, both internally (which stakeholders are important to convince of a decision) and externally (what does the company need to do to succeed, big picture?) is really helpful for data scientists to drive impact.

Is that really the case for people in tech though - that they could get a step increase of over 10K by pursuing an MBA instead of getting experience at $latest_tech_fad?

After staying at one job for way too long 10 years ago, I’ve hopped jobs 4 times, pursuing that strategy (and learning about modern architecture) and have seen jumps of $7K, $10K, $25K, and $20K. Unless the market sours, I should be able to put together a resume and skillset to get another $25K bump as a consultant within the next 3 years.

This isn’t in Silicon Valley, NY, or DC.

I can’t see an MBA helping.
If you need Advanced SQL Support ClickHouse is not there (Yet) but if you need high performance for relatively basic queries ClickHouse is great.

It is developed mostly by ClickHouse staff but there is at least one company https://www.altinity.com/ which offers Commercial Support, Consulting, Trainin for ClickHouse
This is so disgusting, and is a personal violation! I can't imagine going through such a horrific experience. This is exactly the behavior that such laws bring forth. See an attractive woman and stop her for questioning, knowing fully well that you're in the position of power between the two of you and can get away with almost anything.

That isn't a bad idea. That would disincentivize patenting everything under the sun too.

Unfortunately it's not oxymoronic at all. In the country I currently live there is a blog supposedly dedicated to expose "fake news" and media bias, and the blog is actually a propaganda front created by an elected representative of the governing party. The "fake news" blog, expectedly, posts hit pieces targetting any report that may be remotely unfavourable to the current government with personal attacks and smear campaigns.
Don't take money from his VC firm and don't interview with startups that are funded by him (and make sure the recruiter knows why).
The whole point of FB and LinkedIn is to share data about you, if you don't want to share that data then don't use the services.

(surely you can pay for a service to replicate whatever part of these platforms you need)
While I agree that there are a number of challenges around actually utilizing crypto in places like this, you must also agree that some of crypto's unique characteristics are actually very compelling in these situations. For example, it is very expensive to get supplies or money into these 'camps'. The (relatively) immediate and peer-to-peer nature of cryptocurrency is perfect for this kind of help.
Backup your phone to the cloud, factory reset. Restore when you get to the destination.

A bit of a hassle, and after you restore to factory reset you will need to add the basic contacts, info if you need for travelling. And any messages/updates on the phone in the meantime will be lost when you restore from backup.

Will need to download the backup so most likely need a good wifi connection. Or you could save it to your laptop in that aforementioned hidden partition. You could do it on the plane so the window of using factory reset would be short. And restore just after customs.

Is there a better idea?

SEEKING WORK - Portland, OR or Remote

I'm a full-stack developer with 18 years experience. My specialties are Rails, Postgres and Chef/AWS. I'm also very comfortable in Angular, Vue, React, Java, and Python (lots of projects in Django, Flask, and CLI tools for DevOps and ML). I've made modest contributions to Rails, Postgres, and lots of other OSS projects.

At the low level I've done paid work writing custom Postgres extensions with C and SIMD CPU instructions and implementing performance-critical network services with Rust. At the high level I can design and wireframe features, show their business value, talk to customers, lead other developers, mentor, consult on application architecture, and advise on scaling/performance. You don't want me to pick your color scheme though. :-)

I am reliable, easy to work with, quick to turn things around, and a good communicator. I can work solo or on a team, either as lead or a team member. I value client satisfaction as highly as technical excellence.

“Most popular sedan”

When it’s “most popular vehicle” then we have something to cheer about.

Most popular sedan is being the biggest fish in a small aquarium.

https://www.cbtnews.com/people-arent-buying-sedans-anymore/

The 3, admittedly has done reasonably well, but out of the total number of sedans sold, it’s still tiny. Out of total cars sold, it doesn’t even register as significant at all.

I am not knocking Tesla, but their competitive advantage is diminishing. Audi’s e-tron and all of the other electrics coming from big name producers are set to crush Tesla unless they figure out how to scale; not just production, but the parts and repair pipelines.

As far as the media posting negative news; has there been much news that hasn’t been negative? Musk picks a fight with the SEC, tweets like a 12 year old (remember the pedophile allegation?) and still it takes months to get a car. (And still no CarPlay support!)

They should focus on building cars and less on trying to play with the stock price. The best way for Musk to beat the shorts? Shut up and ship.
Easy, just put FPGAs in them :P
The C++ runtime library needs space in the wasm file.

Musk was not in Wharton. He studied economics in the College of Arts and Sciences, so never actually studied business

(yes, I know I'm nitpicking)
Virtual Memory Management seems like magic before looking at the code, that feeling remains a little bit even after gazing at it if you ask me :)
It's fairly well explored, I think. Remember Netzero?
50,000 rules is not that hard in 2018 if you have a modern RETE engine and the right indexes for lookups.
Thanks for the thoughtful reply!
It's pretty mind-bending to think about the technological development of the United States this robot came into. On the one hand, seemingly limitless progress -- electric light, airplanes, radio, talking motion pictures, nuclear fission and rocketry just over the horizon -- and on the other, rural areas that would be lit by kerosene for another quarter century.
Bingo.

Well, not quite - black holes would be respective of charge conservation! A black hole only has three properties, in our current understanding of general relativity - but "electrical charge" is one of those properties.

But there's nothing that stops it, say, eating protons and spitting out positrons later.
Except Tony Stark actually shipped products on time.
I have been surprised by the technical fluency and sophistication of refugees.

And, I appreciate sarcasm as much as anybody. :)
Sending money long distances especially crossing borders is a non-trivial problem.
I was wondering the same about these mysterious big money donors that fund reactionary stuff. You could think of them as bond villains from a Handmaid's Tale or you could just think of them as the juiciest targets in the Fox viewers demographic. Why try to scare money out of thousands of sheltered old people when you can go for the big score and terrufy one super rich sheltered old person.
I think software development is less guilty of this, because the usual refrain is "if they're good, they can learn the specific stuff on the job." So the industry (generalizing here) might not always hire for expertise, but it does clearly value having it long term.

I think this discounts how similar most of the code written at different companies is, the nuances determined by business rules that are established elsewhere in the org chart.
Documentation is sparse on why emscripten compiled wasms are incompatible. Please provide more information
Somewhat ironically, the "impressive" production numbers are actually below what they were expecting for Q1. Being generous and assuming only a 12-week quarter, 51,000 cars is only 4250 cars/week, far below the 5000 they were expecting to hit back in January. The news is that they are finally able to maintain this sort of scale.

The unfortunate news is that despite the months of lead-in time to getting up to this scale, they never bothered to get a handle on the logistics of shipping out the completed product, and are now stuck with massive lots of undelivered Model 3s. Musk's "genius" plan to deal with this is to spend a few million dollars and few months to build a new fleet of trailers, rather than simply work with existing companies to ship existing products to existing customers within the next month.
