Re:Apple’s tech interview scope for junior position on Monday February 22, 2021 @07:28AM (#26223718)
Is their success rate zero? I don't think so. People want to work at FAANG so much they can afford to raise the hiring bar to hire someone with intermediate/senior knowledge on junior level.

Ask HN: What was your static language alternative to Python?

Our python code base in the company I work for is growing and we're already feeling the pain of dynamic typing (some ImportErrors, changing function signatures, dicts, unpredictability, etc) as we’re adding more junior devs. We already have mypy, good test coverage and refactored large parts to use static objects (classes instead of dicts) and that improved things, but it seems like we're...

I use huawei p20 lite 2019 and the signal app is not as smooth and fluid as whatsapp. The animations frames are noticeable. I really want to love the app. I hope they improve the android experience for lower end smart phones

Re:Amazon Managed Service for Grafana on Tuesday December 15, 2020 @06:14PM (#25436712)
so amazon is waiting for open source projects to mature and large have adoption so they can easily sell them to their existing enterprise customers. A lot of open source projects like tensorflow, kubernetes (which amazon is making millions from) where contribution from google's years development and RD. I know amazon keeps saying they're contributing to open source but it's easier to contribute when you're already getting revenue from that product

Re:Emerging Architectures for Modern Data Infrastructure on Sunday October 18, 2020 @09:44AM (#24817832)
I interesting worked on a project as a data scientist with a client who worked in high precision manufacturing. Their signals (sensors) and actuators were stored in a historian which couldn't handle data 100ms samples even though the data was collected at a 10ms rate. One of the problems required us to look at the process that took just 85ms. The problem was the historian was showing signals up to 20ms it took a while to realise that it was extrapolating when you tried getting finer resolution. The company was using this historian for more than 20 years they had to commission another project to change the historian. So you're right, you don't know what you need until you need it.
