The N queens puzzle is a well known mathematical problem.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eight_queens_puzzle

I’m 5 years out from a tough last year of a PhD program. Married with kids now.

It gets better. Power through the final stretch.

I second this. I have friends who consulted an employment lawyer in similar circumstances - and were able to negotiate additional severance.

This is my income situation as well.

Career investments have a higher ROI than side hustles for me.

I keep searchable daily notes in a OneNote doc. It's useful for finding old information and performance reviews.

Lesson learned - it isn't great for retention when you tell employees to leave and make more money. :)

Keep applying! It's very normal for a job search to take months. And it's possible that one of the companies will reach out to you down the line with an interview offer.

It sounds like your resume could use some review. Consider reaching out to friends and experts. Good luck!

Former Meta employee here - only slightly exaggerated.

Was burned out from working too many hours. Took a job with better WLB and doing better now.

Thanks, the GitHub readme is much clearer.

Having kids has created a very specific structure.

Two ways to do that: 1. Separate classes for each type 2. Object detection, then classification. This is commonly used for street sign identification

Sounds like an "object detection" task. There are various python libraries (i.e. PyTorch, Tensorflow) that work with this sort of thing. You might need to create a training set.

It’s my name.

I interviewed with Shopify earlier this year and they were offering ~200k for "Senior" tech positions.

The market for talent varies by location. Apply for new jobs if you think this is unfair.

Agree. Wasn’t aware of force push (2021-2022).

Looks legit to me (I was formerly a RDS at Facebook).

Each employee can refer candidates using the provided information (and gets a referral bonus if there is a hire).

I have no problem applying for jobs without a salary range. I typically ask in the first recruiter call.

Haven't found the time to blog recently. Free time is scarce with family. Haven't had a reason/desire to prioritize blogging - but if you enjoy it, go for it!

I was a little skeptical of the fire when all of his ID documents were only half-burned. :)

Easy/medium weren't that hard. The smooth UI helps quite a bit.

Interesting to see such polarizing opinions on education in the comments. The value of education is a mix of learning, credentials, and socialization - and the experience is different for each student. WGU makes a lot of sense for working professionals.

Startups can’t afford the time off. Big tech companies can.

If a benefit is offered, why not take it?

If there’s any “loser” here, it’s the VC.

Long time user and big fan of mobaxterm. Nice clean interface for ssh on windows.

Why not turn off deal notifications for both public and private wishlists?

I imagine few users have both types of wishlists and want different deal notifications.

When I signed up for Instagram, I was quite careful to follow and like a bunch of accounts that feature Corgis. Now I get all sorts of dog recommendations on my Instagram and love it.

Disclaimer: I work for Facebook.

I hosted draftsim.com on a $3/month hosting plan for a few years.

We served 500GB of data the first month.

I imagine that the hosting company lost money on us (but they never called to complain).

You need a Facebook account. It's okay to create a new account for work purposes only.
