Are h1b workers really cheaper? Don't you have to pay them similar to what an American at the same level would be paid?

And India. Although here they do a horrible job of it, so I prefer to sharpen them myself.

Just wanted to thank you for a great tool :-). I love d2 and ever since I discovered it a couple of years back I've been using it for all my diagramming needs.

Thanks again and keep up the good work!

Databricks on azure is huge. I've heard that in some Azure regions, over 70% of the compute usage is just Databricks. So there is definitely an incentive for MS to acquire them.

For a few TBs of data, well partitioned and stored in parquet or some such format, you could just use duckdb on a single node.

I've heard they're regularly doing buybacks for employees.

Even within "South Asia", India is over-represented. Haven't heard of too many Pakistani, Bangladeshi, or Sri Lankan CEOs.

This is amazing! I was working on something like this myself, but I've not reached anywhere near this level of functionality or polish. Looks like I'll drop it and see if I can contribute to this instead.

> Maybe they have s nacks at home?

Very likely. They definitely don't look like they've been calorie-deprived for 15 years.

This is cool and all, but I don't see why this can't be accomplished (and more deterministically) with a bunch of bash/python scripts. I've seen that done and work well in several firms for decades.

Beachbody isn't an MLM. They sell workout programs (used to be dvds but have now moved to a subscription model). From personal experience, I can say that at least one of their programs - Tony Horton's P90X - is very good.

If this is just running tests locally, it seems deeply flawed - e.g. the tests would work even if I forgot to commit new files.

OTOH if starting a new container, pulling my branch and then doing everything, it's definitely as good as running on remote CI because it's basically replicating the same behaviour. And it would likely still be much faster since:

* CI machines are underpowered compared to dev laptops/desktops. e.g. our CI builds run on a container with 4 vCPUs and 16GB RAM. In contrast my laptop has 16 cores and 48 GB RAM

* docker pull itself takes a relatively long time on CI. If I'm running it locally it would just use the cached layers

Amazing workmanship. And they managed to make the watch look beautiful as well.

I'm ok with removing the charging port, but please bring back the headphone port. I'm tired of using bluetooth earphones that lose their charge exactly when you need them not to.

So who was the engineer?

You can use it with ollama too

I echo the author's feelings, though not for the same reasons. The main reason I want to be comfortable if not proficient in vim - and why I use it as my goto editor - is so that I know my way around when I have to login to remote servers. But with my neovim setup now relying on Telescope, Ack, and various other plugins, it takes me a minute to get my bearings when I have to work without them on remote servers.

Reminded me of this Junji Ito story - https://junjiitomanga.fandom.com/wiki/Glyceride

IIRC the Bangalore office only had cameras at the entries and exits, not over employees' desks. Might be some privacy thing.

In Amazon's Bangalore office, getting rooms for meetings was hard even before Covid. When we managed to get rooms, a couple of minutes extension wouldn't be possible because someone would be breathing down our necks for their upcoming meeting.

I wouldn't say they were ahead at least in terms of reputation. They targeted India's Adani group and failed. The Supermicro "revelation" was also a damp squib. I suppose they made plenty of money with their short-selling though, so in that sense they are, perhaps, ahead enough.

I have one each of the three "best" beginner fountain pens and, among them, I found the Platinum Preppy to be the easiest and smoothest to write with.

I remember seeing a small model of this in the Singapore Museum of Art. Looked scary as heck, though still fascinating in a morbid kind of way.

Are these any good? Say, if I want to refresh my knowledge of calculus...

I've seen organizations go in the opposite direction now with the hands-off individual contributor. Their only job seems to be to attend meetings and pass on the minutes to others.

This is nice, but can you add filters for vegetarian/vegan food please?

Never heard of brainrot before but this is funny as heck. I lol'ed at this one especially

Cemetery of Forgotten Books series by Carlos Ruiz Zafon. The stories are very dark and affecting. His descriptions are evocative, and the writing is absolutely beautiful even in translation.

They did mass vaccination too, at least here in India. They stopped before I was born, but my elder brother got the vaccine long after we'd had the last case of Smallpox in India.

On a tangential note, the match totally looked fixed to me - Tyson was barely throwing any punches. I understand age is not on his side, but he looked plenty spry when he was ducking, weaving and dodging. It seemed to me he could have done better in terms of attacking as well.
