Nearly every large employer in China has employee housing of some sort, including government agencies. Every single manufacturer has dorms.
That said, I’ve never found Strong Typing to be that essential for front end dev. TypeScript is incredibly pragmatic, which is why it’s been so successful imo.
Nothing stops people from writing all their dependencies in TypeScript. But it’s not necessary to use it successfully.
If there’s telephone wires (not even a pole) then there’s an easement.
That’s bananas.
What soured me towards Dart is its continued history of ignoring community input. I remember when it was announced--the original "Hello World" transpiled to JS was around 70kb. 8-years later, and after all the user feedback (and shock in the original HN announcement), it's now around ~80kb.
Why do this? Why continue to play so poorly with JavaScript? Dart2js is an indefensible Rube Goldberg machine that no human being can reasonably understand or debug.
Ask specific, probing questions to assess knowledge in your ideal areas, in some combination with an open ended problem solving question.
There are so many problems you can solve with a neural network. Should Waymo ETL sensor data and do a WHERE NOT IN for bicyclists?
This is blog post is pretty dismissive. Statistics software has been in use since the beginning; see SAS. Financial institutions, actuaries, etc, have been using these methods with SQL data as the input and it’s the only reason they’re still in business.
If this blog post simply suggested hiring a BI Analyst in your startup, I wouldn’t disagree.
Cars are now becoming a pile of soft-buttons, and I don’t see how that makes he experience better. There’s no physical lever to stop your car in an emergency in most new cars. Just a [P] toggle. Even the Chrysler has a really dumb knob for changing gears on the transmission (which people often confuse with a volume knob).
I may just buy a Chevy Tahoe next; it’s a much simpler car with sufficient luxury & tech.
You’ll be driving and all of a sudden the engine stops, and the dash says to place the car into park to turn it on. Imagine making a turn and your engine dying mid-way; that’s exactly what happened to us. People die getting t-boned that way.
Buying a Chrysler was a huge mistake; no one will acknowledge the problem. There are Pacifica forums with over 100 pages of posts from people talking about this issue.
As products and teams scale up, cross-stack expertise becomes far less valuable than domain expertise and institutional knowledge.
This post also leaves off another area that I'd expect of a senior full-stack developer: Infrastructure/Ops.
Lol, no. Modern, professional software development uses a load balancer to manage a canary/red-black deployment strategy. Zero downtime deployments to a live server, outside of telecom/finance, is a sign of an amateurish team.
The landlord destroyed the artwork before the courts resolved the case. This has nothing to do with artists; these power plays happen periodically and they’re subsequently beaten like a dog by the courts.
I think this announcement is about Trov, not Waymo.
