Simple reason is if they hire someone internally they just get another open req to fill.

The methodology in this paper compared the results of the radiology report to a follow up biopsy.

I think one imbalance in the industry is that software engineers require years of on the job training to be able to independently get things done. In medicine this is also the case which is why doctors have to go through a residency. Junior engineers are kind of like hiring a resident and asking them for medical advice -- it'll work in a pinch but you really want to have at least one doctor in the room when making important decisions. This is also reflected in the salary. If companies understood this and gave juniors much bigger raises (really an annual market adjustment) there would be far less turnover and interview time wasting in the industry.

You should definitely listen to Bach's mass in B minor and his cantatas if you like vocal work and Bach. Also listen to Mozart's Requiem.

Some other good stuff would be all the symphonies by Mozart and Beethoven. Vivaldi's four seasons.

Also try Bach's Brandenburg Concertos, and Goldberg Variations.

For opera listen to some of the overtures and highlights by Wagner (Tannhauser, Tristan & Isolde, Lohengrin).

This is an exciting project but the visuals are so poorly designed that it makes my eyes hurt. I think bringing in some designers could lead to something really elegant here.

This reminds me of some advice I got from a grad student as an undergrad -- "It's important to not care TOO much when doing research. Most things don't work out the way you expect and you'll always be disappointed or even biased when you are looking at your data."

I think focusing on apps alone misses the point. Startups like Uber or Peloton or Affirm are not just apps they all solve business problems like logistics, hardware, or access to financing. Yes they use software, but doesn't everybody?

ok, its an algorithm that makes use of pattern matching

A better name for AI is "pattern recognition" because thats what it is. There is nothing intelligent about it.

Do some searches on linkedin -- you will have very slim choices of company if you are trying to be working in a niche language like this.

Is Ceph with Rados Gateway a better alternative to this?

The reason they do this is so that they can later monetize the dataset.

The datasets are deidentified, so that doesn't seem like a plausible rationale

The data license seems to be research-only. How would people be able to build products/medical device software with this license? Or is that not a goal of releasing this data?

I thought this was going to be about Top Gun

I can't agree more. I made some progress on Japanese only to find that when I spoke it was completely incomprehensible to a native speaker. I think speech/pronunciation correction is still an unsolved problem.

Right, a lot of nut and fruit-bearing plants take many years to start bearing fruit. You can't just replace your almonds with some other crop overnight.

I think a lot of companies will allow engineers to come up with their own questions for candidates without much oversight. This can lead to the above scenario where an engineering interviewer thinks this could be a good way to check if an engineer is a key contributor or a low performer to their current role. However, it is important that interviewers are trained to ask questions like this in general rather than specific terms to avoid this appearance. I personally doubt that many companies use interviews to get IP from previous employers.

Good reminder of how ephemeral things are in the software industry -- much of the software we use today will be obsolete in 15 years.

Also most senior folks don't need 125k because they could and should just self fund this amount

With WFH one could expect the total miles driven per year to decrease drastically due to less commuting. This would make the lifetimes of cars longer and lead to lower demand -- a second way in which software is "eating" the car.

Could be seen borderline fraudulent since no employer signing this kind of contract would reasonably expect this behavior. So that could add a criminal element in addition to the civil damages.

You should spend some of that money on good legal counsel

you could do it by hashing the content and then sending back the hashes to some server for them to check

but really if the code is not open source it doesn't really help for them to claim E2E. You don't really have any guarantees they won't circumvent encryption.

> A typed Lisp compiler with a focus on performance

Not useless and much needed!

This is also what people do in autocratic regimes. Effectively we have created a "democratic autocracy" by means of allowing mobs of people to steamroll people online and destroy their reputations.

Theres a lot of reasons why it makes sense to sell something before building it. You want to be up front about this fact but getting commitments to buy something is a good idea before actually spending money and time to build it.

More the things containing chips like plastic widgets and appliances

This topic seems like a bad idea

What is the argument in favor of server-side Java in 2021? It seems like alternatives like Go, Python, or even JS are far ahead at this point
