My small startup company went with Zoho office at first because of the price. But the features is what has us looking to stay for a while.

One thing I would love to see is the addition of wildcard addresses like the way google has and microsoft added (user+site_string@domain.com).

Thanks for your hard work on a great product!
This is incredible advice.

The company I'm currently CTO at I had founded when I was 23. It's now a multi-hundred million dollar company, growing very quickly, and about to cross 100 employees. I've learned a lot along the way, but I've especially learned from managing parents. As I started managing parents and realizing how much they base their own values on how their children would think of them and their life principles, it became apparent to me that this is how I want to live my life too.

I have struggled with depression and anxiety from an early age, so, when I start attaching to an overly-cynical view of how the world operates, I ask myself "Do I need to believe this is how the world operates? How does this serve me? Would I want my children to embody this world view?". If the answer is no, then I try to have my world view serve me and end up much happier and actually much more effective in the long run.

I've come to realize you have to be a bit of a pessimist when understanding how things "really work", but going about your life as an optimist and working around the structures is just as important if not more so for people like myself who were born with a broken operating system.
I would have thought these companies paid a better base salary being in such a high cost area.

Also, do FAANGs typically grant more equity after the 4 year vesting period?
Hi!
This exists as a standalone library which means you don't have to go through the trouble of cloning the tensorflow/models repository and using the specific functions you need.
Moreover, I'd argue this code is easier to follow (ymmv) than Tensorflow's and it would be easier to debug if the user needs to make modifications themselves.
Additionally, this library also gives you some extra visualizations you can use on your bounding boxes.

Yeah as the other poster said, asking before getting in the cab is the other solution. Honestly the hassle of knowing it can happen, or wondering if yhe driver is going to be an ass about it makes it not worthwhile when I can tap a button and have an Uber appear for the same price, and _knoe_ my payment method (amex, to make things worse) will be accepted.
I would think these companies that are built on measuring data would have some idea if the whiteboard interview works. Otherwise, why would they do it?
What's the MTr/mm2 for TSMC 5nm? 2nm?

Thank you for the detailed explanation. But I always thought Netflix's scope was relatively narrow compared to the others mentioned above.

Sure a skilled software developer with an interest in networks or media platforms would have no trouble finding a job there. But what about other types of engineers like product, kernel, and embedded engineers? The companies I mentioned have divisions like Oculus, Alexa, and Chromebooks for those engineers. The comparison to Netflix in areas like those is where my confusion comes from.
There are many reasons I left, but mostly I'm interested in trying new things. I want to either pursue freelancing or find a role at a small company. Two things I've never really done before.

As for the culture. It's not nearly as cutthroat as people assume it is. But it's true that Netflix wants you to perform well. This gets balanced out with good communication from management and your peers. Netflix emphasizes candid feedback, so you pretty much always know where you stand. At least, in my experience. It's a big company, so mileage may vary.
no wonder the world was a happier place about 20 years ago... people enjoyed life not like now... where corporations rule the world... everything can be bought... the entire idea of money is stupid

I interpreted the "this", in "this is nonsense", to refer to the claim that excess leave from having 5 kids is causing economic decline in Europe. I don't think he was claiming that someone in Europe having 5 kids was nonsense.
Right, I personally don't pick that battle.

I partner with the “local goyim” to get into the rooms I want in every country I’m in, in the United States that is a white man with an ivy league degree.

I don't know if I got the idea from anti-semitic drivel or accurate Jewish business ideas, but I’ve had a lot of success with this approach.

If you want to fight for inclusivity, do that with your non-profit or shelve the idea until you have a path of lesser resistance, such as with your cofounder that matches the predispositions of people.

I’m not advocating for this to be how the world should work, but dealing with inclusivity in Korea, for example, is going to be distracting business priority when you know the answer is to get a Korean person on your team page and get a white male in the advertisement or interview. It is a mistake to treat America differently and act surprised at the results.

Just because some people need to see me write it: I completely understand this is a barrier of entry that does not scale to service a broad population of founders. I’ve had a lot of success with this approach.

I would call my use of bangs getting to a specific page on another site rather that searching another site. For instance, I get a lot of use out of the wolfram alpha bang, !wa, in those uses I'm not searching as much as I'm inputting a calculation for wolfram alpha to perform and the bang let's me skip a step by typing "!wa {quety/calculation}" into my address bar. Similarly, if ddg is your default search engine, you can lookup a url on archive.is just by prepending it with "!archiveis " in the address bar.

bitbake (openembedded and Yocto) does not use timestamps, but hashes all inputs. Well, it's a bit different scope. It builds packages and each package use make (or some replacement depending on package maintainer's choice) internally. So the number of files to checksum is small even so if their size can be big, typically mostly the source tarball of the package.

How to approach any whiteboarding challenge during a product design interview
The executive powers do not come from nothing; the legislature has delegated certain of its powers to the executive branch. In order to be banned from being imported, in the form of downloads, TikTok would have to be a threat to national security (the government said how yet, but they don't have to until trial) or involved in terrorism (the government has not argued this). They have to make a reasonable case as to how this is not simply banning speech they do not like.

It's also not clear whether a download is actually an importation, or whether the Department of Commerce has any bearing on a US company (Google) manufacturing new copies of a product based on a foreign design. (The Huawei case is far from decided!)

As for your third point: Someone did notice, and filed a lawsuit in federal court! This is an article about the ongoings about that case.
That's "neural network hallucinations" --- and often a sign of insufficient training material.

My favorite version of this is the driving test you take in California before you get your license.

One of the rules is that you automatically fail the test if you bump a curb with your wheels. That means, when pulling into a spot, you can't inch forward until your front wheels come to rest on the curb. Fail!

At first glance it seems like a trivial thing to fail someone for. I know in normal driving, I use curbs like this all the time. On purpose, and with no hazard to myself or others.

But the fact is, you're told this explicitly up front. "Don't do this, or you fail." Given that you're warned about it—and know this is the one thing you cannot do—if you still contact the curb, then you've demonstrated that you don't know where the boundaries of your vehicle are. (Or maybe that you're not so good at comprehending instructions?)

It works as a simple filter.

(EDIT: I checked with the DMV's test criteria[0], and I don't see this mentioned in there. There's an automatic fail for driving over a curb, but it's not clear if simply contacting it counts. Not sure if my examiner was a sliderule, or if the rules have changed since I first got my license.)

Are they actually shooing away folks with experience, or do they get a tonne of successful applications from people with experience, and to limit the overwhelmingly large number of applications they filter for those who have experience and can do leetcode?
It would be very handy if someone were to generate new software drivers for newer equipment from scratch.

I can't see a copyright issue if new drivers were brand new code. The trouble's always been MS has deliberately denied providing new drivers for newer hardware as deliberate means of obsoleting its older versions.

Using older versions of Windows (such as Win 7) on new hardware is a highly desirable idea for those of us who are mightily pissed off that Microsoft has essentially converted is Windows platform from an operating system to a spyware and advertising platform. New drivers would solve the problem.
You’re comparing Apples to Oranges, or in your case, heroin to hemp; no ones banning the components that make up TikTok (the code, the business, the algorithms etc)...

Comparing heroin to heroin though, yes we do ignore someone who’s selling 1 gram of heroin at a time over someone selling 1 ton of heroin at a time.
That's a good suggestion, though DDG has a financial incentive to keep users going through DDG's search page. OTOH, DDG created and supports bang shortcuts so they want people to use them. :)

DDG could show a bang suggestion if any of the top search results are for sites that have bang shortcuts. Or suggest "Didn't find what you're looking for? Try !g" if the number of results found is small.

There's almost no useful public insider information about the actual state of Intel's next gen technologies. We only know what is actually shipping and promises in PR slides. Sometimes I wonder if they don't know much more inside the company. There's roadmaps, projects, timelines, factories, teams, project managers, middle managers etc. but nobody has a clear picture of what's actually necessary and what's going to work in time. Engineers overpromise on the timeline, managers misreport "minor" hangups and upper management is left in the dark until it's much too late to change horses. Then there's stories of the old guard of engineers leaving but the replacements aren't getting up to speed quickly. Management even needs to consider outsourcing production to other companies because their homegrown engineering failed them time and time again lately. I really hope the core of the company is still solid and they get their act together soon.
Also, to tack back to economics, "rural ethnic minorities" means "third world subsistence farming with no health or dental care".

The approach the government is taking there is certainly heavy-handed, but I think we should be careful not to fetishize their poverty as something to be preserved.

That's probably because the 3 paths are orthogonal: becoming a better IC would make one a worse manager; and becoming a better manager wouldn't make one a better exec. Just like an exec wouldn't turn into the business owner no matter how hard one tries. The ladders that connect ICs with execs exist, but they are outside of the building.

Sorry I hate to write snarky comments. The page says other tools have too many dependencies where this doesn't. That makes it a potentially valuable tool. If it works that's great.
Are you sure that minimalism is a design principle of Zig's, and not just the current state of the project? @andrewrk's comments at https://github.com/ziglang/zig/issues/130 lead me to believe that it's still undecided.

> Why not start an discussion about if the cost is worth it

That’s exactly what GP did. He pointed out that whether the cost is worth it depends on how much you can afford. In Poland it’s two weeks, by the way.
Wow. I had no idea ScummVM supported so many platforms. I thought it was just for old-school LucasArts games. Seeing "Eye of the Beholder -- Sega CD version" made me blink a couple times and says "huh, cool." out loud.
I feel no empathy for healthcare insurance or providers in this country which have personally caused me nothing but grief and provided me little to no benefit. It's hard to picture a worse possible system than the current one.
Really looking to build a tool with the same look and feel. Launches fast, can just paste text stripping formatting and then allow you to save it as txt or copy it as is to other apps. A typical Ubuntu install gives you something like gedit2 or pluma. Too much for a text editor. Same goes for Paint. I can't believe that I have to install a heavy app like Gimp, Pinta or Krita. They are significantly more heavy and less stable in my experience. The simplicity of these tools make their brilliance.

The same goes for Mac. Mac has "textEdit" and "Notes" apps but it handles formatting, is slower to launch and is more of a Wordpad clone. For Paint, their Preview tool is terrible. I just want to take a screenshot, paste it in a file, maybe add a red circle or square and save it as png. Quick and fast.

The Graphite story happened more than 6 years ago, or so I heard as I joined after M3 was in production.
Artifact is a Valve game [1], and on it's release it was advertised no more then any other game in the strategy category. It has a banner at the top for a new release as they do for any other game. And that was about it.

Not to say HL3 wouldn't get more attention, I don't believe Valve treats their marketplace similar to Amazon.
Gotta admit, it does what it says on the tin.

CoCalc is a collaborative replacement of Jupyter notebooks. It's a top-to-bottom re-implementation of the entire Jupyter stack designed specifically for realtime collaboration. You can use it via our hosted offering (https://cocalc.com), or install it on prem via https://github.com/sagemathinc/cocalc-docker.

We released the our collaborative Jupyter notebook in 2014 as a plugin to Jupyter classic. We then iterated on what we learned over the years, completely rewriting everything multiple times, including the entire realtime collaboration stack. Cocalc's Jupyter support is pretty mature and battle tested at this point, and also includes a TimeTravel slider that lets you view all past versions of a Jupyter notebook and integrated chat.

I was a college professor (at Univ of Washington), I started a company around this in 2015, so CoCalc has soo far been mainly aimed at serving the needs of academics teaching courses. It's been increasingly popular lately, e.g., in the last month over a half million distinct Jupyter notebooks were edited on https://cocalc.com. Of course, many of these notebooks are homework problems. Anyway, our company is doing very well, and we hope it will eventually be a "10M startup opportunity". :-)
Yous should check out languagetools.io. Like LingQ, but with a much better UI, way cheaper and chill with non-premium users, and they fund a school in Africa as well.

When I worked at IBM I heard about this RA tactic before. To get rid of an unwanted employee a company might promote them frequently/repeatedly until they quit.

What's the logic behind that? Why not fire them if their performance is poor? Is it because its cheaper for the company?

I wonder if there is a way to describe change sets as a mathematical curve and achieve something like the rewind-ability within Planetary Annihilation https://www.forrestthewoods.com/blog/tech_of_planetary_annih... which seems to be an smoother alternative to dead-reckoning that bakes the history into it a bit better.
The rampup at FAANG can be brutal and you'd be doing lots of learning even after getting in. The leetcode style interviews are designed to select people capable of studying and materialising broad problems in depth and scope under time constraints. They are also objective and can't really be faked nor you can talk your way in like in most banking/finance IT jobs. I was of similar opinion at some point but these realisations made me change my mind and I've come to like leetcode interviews.

But I also think they only make sense in FAANG scoped companies where all the stack is proprietary. Small companies or companies using opensource tools don't really have this rampup and doing such interviews mostly because others (FAANG) do it.
> Many/most of the best developers I’ve ever worked with wouldn’t consider wasting their time on such nonsense

Interview practices aside - I find them to be fun puzzles and know plenty of accomplished CS/math people who do too. I understand the anger at corporate tech practices but let's not malign those who find the questions interesting.
The destruction, in this particular case, is that a lot of people aren't going to get a vaccine when it's released, which will kill a lot of people. More broadly, the fact that mis- and dis-information spreads more widely than real information today has led to a complete breakdown of a shared factual reality, which is a prerequisite for any kind of consensus-based or democratically based system of government. If we're trying to get to Chicago and half of us believe we're in San Francisco and the other half believe we're in Philadelphia, we're not going to make any progress beyond which of us is better at tug of war.
I ran a thinkpad T61 as a server for a bit. It’s a decent solution and yes it has a built in UPS :)

Really these big clusters rarely need to be run 24/7 so it’s more economical to run one node doing stuff that has to be on all the time. Everything else I run in virtualbox on my desktop which is a fairly hefty Ryzen which gets turned off when I don’t need it.

I will replace my Lenovo M series with a VPS node when someone does one that Devuan works on.

Yes, that's why I literally said I support longer paternity leave in the end of my comment.

Paternity leave is an example of society taking biological differences and the reality of bringing a child into the world (that it asks a helluva lot more of the mother than the father) and making everything more equitable.

The purpose of my comment was not to say paternity leave doesn't make any sense. It was to say that the lack of it is not an example of sexism. It's an example of men and women being different and therefore the non-egalitarian default being different for men and women. That's not sexism.
There is no reason to build them for Windows. I just use the ones already available for Windows. I want to build it for Mac so I can get the great simple tools on Windows but on the stability of Mac. For Paint I have resorted to buying a Mac Store app called Paint2 made by some Chinese developer. It is still too complex but is the best I can do now.
That's really not possible. 20um probably. Micro not nano.
