All those paragraphs on diversity and inclusion and NOTHING on disability.

Wonder when the narrative will shift to diversity that actually prevents jobs and not just positive PR spins…

Yep. Literally every thread about buzzfeed news has multiple posts explaining the different pods of the business, with the caveat that BFNews is serious.

An absolutely awful branding decision.

Misinterpreted on my end, then - nothing personal!

The attractive option of atheism bit.

Plenty of other reasons why someone would turn to atheism. Eg the massive occurrence/support/obfuscation of sex abuse in the Catholic Church.

“I suppose for those who consciously or subconsciously know they're guilty of sin, the idea of annihilation is far preferable to facing judgment for their sins in the past, so I can see how atheism would be an attractive option, ultimate meaninglessness notwithstanding.”

This kind of quite literally holier-than-thou pretension is a large reason why, despite being raised religious, I want nothing to do with it today. Especially Christianity.

Yeah I suspect much of HN is the same. Kind of crazy how dense those meals are.

Ice cream too is crazy - one Ben & Jerry’s is like 1600k

But nobody would care about PyTorch if it didn’t have big tech’s blessing, which is the point the above was making.

“You can’t benefit from my awesome work because I’m too comfortable using tools at my job. Did I mention I work for Google? Listen to my music.”

Not trying to start a flame war here but… who cares?

I’ve published open source while working at faang myself and they all have internal build tools, version sets, etc.

Plenty of employees still do tons of open-source.

The irony analogy I envision is pouring a bottle on a small fire, expecting it to be water, and having it turn out to be gasoline.

That is, in an effort to solve problem A, you introduce solution B, but solution B only makes A worse than it was.

I’ve lived in both Seattle and Detroit and many other cities as well.

Painting Seattle as the crime capital of the nation is the most hyperbolic thing I’ve ever read on this site. By miles. Get real lol.

I wonder how things are at Amazon with the recent base salary changes.

I imagine if most technical people don’t see a decent salary bump there will be a mass exodus, which is ironic given the increase seems to be in response to attrition.

Amazon has similar articles covering individual algorithms:

Basically every fast food combo is over 1500k.

Meaning it’s very easy to eat that depending on what it consists of.

Just workout and eat less. Drink only water.

House wiring and Shakespeare are completely different subjects. (I’d expect someone professing Shakespeare to avoid such a straw man, but I see your point!)

Most people don’t need mathematical statistics, but far more will find meaning/interest in the immediate applications of lighter statistics than the another-math-class-full-of-equations that calculus feels like to many.

Anecdotally, most universities are scrambling to add lighter data science courses to their humanities majors. These all teach basic stats, and many ignore the low-level calculus required for those methods (again, speaking of the humanities versions here).

Americans weren’t the first to do sanctions though? Not even close. In fact, EU countries were asking America to, and are still asking for more.

Underwhelming, sure, but likely true.

Genuine question: have you spent anytime living there? If so where/how long?

No trace of irony that your response included the words, “take back Crimea.”

I can’t stand that.

The worst I’ve seen so far: people posting trackbacks, no comments or anything, (the sort of lack of effort that would get flagged even on stack overflow), in a massive slack channel asking for help.

I don’t get it.

Don’t see any comments mentioning inflation, but I’d assume that wavering consumer participation is a factor.

Absolutely awful take. Basically every interview will have some section asking about styling.

Just finish the degree and apply to swe jobs. Tailor your resume to mention previous swe experience and as long as you can pass the interviews you’ll be fine.

This 3D space trend is so weird. Nobody wants this. Kids fresh out of college think it’s super cringe, and anyone older won’t bother wasting their time.

Talk about throwing their money away.

When you post comments like this, do you think you’re doing a positive? Advocating for another group by posting a dismissive, context-less comment on a positive post? It just comes off as terribly negative and self-centered (moving the focus to you and your feelings) and derails the topic from the real efforts being made by Poland.

No interviews are onsite at the moment (at least in big tech), so at the moment no, but when things get better? definitely

Also the cost of wasting interviewing resources on people who, knowing the job is on-site, will interview solely for practice with zero intention of joining.

Amazon has some cool interactive articles that make it easy to understand some concepts, eg:

I’ve made great choices my entire life and have a 200k salary in my twenties. I’ve been outbid on the last four houses I put offers on, including one that sold for 1.4 million, wait for it, in cash.

It’s nice your life has been so easy. Really. But please don’t use your rose-tinted glasses to accuse everyone else of being “dumb” - aside from how pretentious it comes off, it’s a wholly incorrect view. Does it factor in covid-related job loss? Inflation? Anything other than your dated experiences that no longer apply?

The icing on ththe cake is that you responded to someone else calling them “dishonest.”

I agree with his arguments at a surface level, but I don’t accept that his analysis was rigorous. Especially because his spreadsheet is monolithic and impossible to double-check.
