What is the percentage attrition? 2%? I wasn't able to get it clearly from the article. I think percentage is what we should focusing on instead of the total numbers considering the total population.

Nice. Sounds like quite interesting conversations.

only 200M? Am I the only one think it is a small budget for supercomputing?

Thanks for all the great advices and comments here.

Every job has its ups and downs. Though I agree that if you constantly feel down time, that probably the time you take a break.

What I find hard is that no single method works for me for a very long time. (Probably because it can trigger the bad memory? ) So I need to find a new approach when I find the old one does not work any more.

Thanks for offering. This is very kind. Just anger for me. If I am in that much trouble, definitely will seek for help.

this somehow made me laugh so hard. made my day~

Thank god. They don't want my HN account.

we (me and another guy) used that as the project/essay topic for a AI graduate class. We evaluated that using google n-gram are outperformed standard grammar checker/suggestion, especially with sentences & long phases (although i can't recall how solid the evaluation went. how large is our testing data set. After all, this is all done in a semester class). And developed a plugin in open-office for that.

Many years passed. This kind reminded me of that. Not sure if there is something similar now in the market? If not, i think I can try to dig out what left in the project. God, i love those simple times.

Edit: just recalled that we were inspired by some paper about taking advantage of n-gram at the time. and I just found this half yr ago post https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12752671

the paper is co-authored by adobe folks

This is neat. Finally found a company doing this.

I would start job hunting right away. Though after accept the new job offer, be sure to leave yourself some off time to take a vacation or relax yourself. Don't recommend to do vacation before new job landed though.

My question is since we have GTM. would it be much easier to just import GTM setting to new site you want to deploy? And it also will be easier to make modification to those "tracker plugin".

I agree it can be a bit work to get ur ubuntu laptop works perfect. But just a simple wireless driver install with ubuntu 14.04 lts gives me the perfect experience. While my win10 connection constantly droppes.

Awesome! Really awesome features. Time to persuade my boss to move to Gitlab now.

Just need some data on the latency and reliability. so far, I only found https://status.gitlab.com/. need some historical data now.

Looks like ppl didn't listen. I saw more https movement this days. and surely enough, it breaks...lots of stuff.

I think password + security tokens is a more common way to go nowadays, when you need to access externally.

If you work and have a normal social life. I don't see the problem of playing video games. You should have some resting/down time. Don't treat it as wasting of time, it is actually a quality time that ppl needs. If you want to focus on more time to do something else, find a buddy to do it together or find a motivation may help.

It is get to my heart

>I need to point to something and say to myself ‘that’s what I’ve been building.’

But then reality kick in. You want money, you want good work/life balance. Well, it is hard to have them all sometime, imho.

That is true. However, lots of internal messaging app is not 'convenient' per say, especially for senior managers. And I see no fix for that problem.

Correct me if I am wrong. But it sounds to me you are still struggling between a coding job and a full time management job. And to be fair, i think this is what you would be expecting for most of management position in lots of the companies.

You mentioned you have done some small management as senior/lead. Then think back, which part do you enjoy when you were there.

very interesting news to say at least.

I think you could add a demo or screenshot linkd in README.

Once a large insurance firm was recruiting in campus and hiring ppl to maintain their old COBOL system

Most hilarious KB I read today.

very cool. love the interaction. laughing at the quote.

Coworker who sees me staring intently at a command prompt: Backs away, slowly...

We use a mix approach. In most case, we do OTS as stage 1 and then developer can merge their individual branch to develop branch. And then later reviewer will do a in depth review independently.

For complex/critical logic kind of code, on the other hand, the reviewer will try to think over a general solution before look at the code. And then trying to poke around the code to find flaws.

I won't even argue if the study is bias or not. Let's just say chocolate is good for the brain. But is it advisable for people to consume them in certain amount daily? Well, back in the days, there were numeric studies about benefit of tobacco too.

Chinese company is not a red flag. but Qihoo is. The company has known bad reputation.

a. they labeled their own browser as a Microsoft security update, which triggered MS investigation

b. they cheated on the anti-virus lab testing and got banned. ....etc.

From its current stage, you can not have even couple sentences conversation with it. And what you have said before does not matter in most cases, unless it is few designed subjects.

The best it can provide is still simple one question, one answer.

I'd like to see after another a year or two, anything will change.

I'd vote for having a QA team. Not for quality control purpose. But to have someone think outside the box. Sometimes, you will be surprise when you talked to the QA team. And you could not get those ideas from dev peer review.
