Can someone provide a little more context on this contamination theory of obesity? Does it actually hold up? I'm reading an article linked and it seems convincing enough, but I don't have the time and expertise to accurately assess that right now.
Really enjoyed this. Was super confusing at first, but eventually caught on. Nice concept!
The way this question is worded makes it seem like it's so easy to go into agriculture / homesteading...there is a wealth of knowledge you have to have to have to do it right, it's not just buying land, plants and watering them. And more often than not, that knowledge is not readily available online, and comes with time and immersion.

The downside is that you're normally a small fish in a big pond as opposed to a big fish in a small pond somewhere else. The perks seem like the pay, the scale at which you work generally, and the quality of your coworkers is higher than normal.
If you like hacking on features, not having to do robust A/B testing or walk through tons of leadership / management hoops, and having a wider role in the development of something, then a smaller company or startup would be better.
TLDR: as with any thing in life, it depends on the person, and what makes you happy at work.
Yeah, but do you know of any creators that would be recommended based on my criteria? I'm not really watching for entertainment quality.

from the ask-hn dept.
I just discovered that I really like watching people code, and it's a great source of learning for me just through observation.My main requirements:
- Not a "tutorial". I don't want someone who has already scripted and prepared all the steps for the video. Looking for something more improvisational, of course, ideally they should be experienced or produce high quality code and at least...
Uh, well I just started working a few months back...but I can say I haven't noticed this at all.
This particular passage stuck out to me:
"Bring your whole self to work" was the Big Tech mantra. Tell people about your cool hobbies, share your politics (if you're far left only), share your sex life."
I can't see this happening at any true big tech company, maybe at a startup or something. The writer seems a bit disgruntled to me.
I've been using BunnyCDN - it's been pretty cheap (<$5 month for 250GBs of data transfer).
Reflective for the people posting about it on Blind...they're usually at a top tier software engineering company. As a whole, I would imagine the salaries are a lot less than the TC you see represented on Blind. The workplace is also a lot less intense.
FWIW - I've only ever worked in big tech outside of an internship in college at a slow F500 so small disclaimer.
Yes...but the bar to entry here is also a major factor. Doctors and lawyers in part have already been vetted by lots of crap before even qualifying for an interview.
How much of the content on the MCAT is "useful" for a doctor's daily work? I would argue that the majority of it is moot. In the same vein, the LSAT has a lot of "useless" logic puzzles that aren't applicable to their daily work as a lawyer. Fact of the matter is, we're lucky in tech to have this system that ANYONE can study for "useless" shit, doesn't matter your background, what college you went to, etc. If you get the interview and nail it, you're in.
Guerrilla "marketing" - try to phish people with fake domains and create the market for your product.
...that would be pretty unethical though.
I would think that real world programming careers are affected by someone's ability to remember information and put in effort, and that's demonstrated by the time spent to study for the little tricks and algorithms that go into passing an interview. I think it makes things a lot less subjective - you put in the time, you win.
I think it should be available without signing up first, at least for a quick demo. I really dislike signing up for anything when I don't even know what the features are, that I'm signing up for.
Not going to lie, I actually like Leetcode style interviews. What you put in is what you get - you know how to control your own outcomes, and that's by putting in the time and work to study for the questions.
Awesome! Really appreciate this.
As someone who just learned what Mermaid is...this is amazing. Great feature add. Does anyone have good recommendations for learning the syntax / alternatives?
This might be a captain obvious-type answer...but have you thought about Chess?
Every company has different policies, and whether or not they'll enforce those policies is another question as well. General rule, don't use your work computer ever to do anything related to your project, and don't do work on it during normal work hours, just to be safe. You need to look at your terms of employment, for sure.
I was under the impression that the masters classes were designed to be a cash cow for institutions!
To be honest, $5 per pen is above the range where I wouldn't stress about losing one or giving them out. My opinion is, that's an expensive pen!
IMO, it's the perfect set buzzwords for the masses and the uneducated. Short enough where they can glean a meaning from it at a quick glance, and long enough where it feels sophisticated to use.
My educated guess is that it won't hit $100K, or $0 this year!
Unreal. Why are they so rare?
I think you can get refunded for fraudulent charges, like if you get hacked. But if you leave an instance running or screw up auto-scaling somehow, that's normally when the charges may tend to stick around. I believe they have a one strike policy, though that could have changed.
Honest question - what about if you drink a ton of water? Does that "dilute" the effect that consuming too much of one thing has? I've never actually looked into it myself but I've always held that belief, perhaps falsely.
I never knew this was a thing, but now that I do...I want in!
Could you elaborate more on how a blockchain will allow clients to influence the direction of the API and also keep other clients up to date on new API changes? That seems a lot more complex than the way you're putting it.
I'm just saying, the claim is that no "junior engineer" can make 300k. That's pretty false. You can also look into HFT "junior engineers" like at Citadel which will clear 300k easily. Facebook return offers for new grad can hit very close to 300k, and there are definitely other companies that pay just as much, if not more. Of course, it's rare, and these people are in elite air.
https://www.levels.fyi/?compare=Google,Facebook,Microsoft&tr...Explore this site, it'll open up a whole new world of SDE pay at unicorns / startups / FANGMULA. I'd look at the entry level positions for maybe ... Dropbox or something, or Stripe. Those two off the top of my head get pretty close to 300k for "junior" engineer - SWE I.
