Ah, that makes sense. I'm working on a team with a code based that's evolved over perhaps a decade, and I've been on the team for 4 of them. I can imagine as a contractor you have different incentives and obligations than someone whose looking to wrangle a large code base vs solving a specific problem.

I have, and generally they have done a passable job for me. The only thing I would criticize is that the tests don' often exhibit domain knowledge by using data that reads like "real" data would. Still does the job, just a little different than I would., however, like you say, sometimes more thoroughly and quite quickly is the ML test suite

If product managers can generate unit-tested, maintainable code that conforms to standards they could put up pull requests themselves. I imagine the engineers would prefer that and be able to work on core infrastructure instead and leave the business logic to product folks.

Fortunately where I work one can still write code for the majority of the time, well past the junior level. we even have a director who does IC work for a good portion of the day. The only folks stuck in constant meetings are managers of people.

I can sympathize with not wanting code that's not up to standards into the main branch. Often once it's in something else will take priority, then the less than ideal code gets used as a model by someone else, and standards start slipping. We tend to work off of feature branches if there is an integration point that's going to hold back progress for someone else while code goes through review.

I think that makes an assumption about who is in the advantage in the transaction. One could picture a fixed income boomer trying to endure painful inflation by exacting what appears to be market rate on his property to a young, wealthy techie of the sort that frequent this website that wants to live close to the city. if a rent was not in the bounds of the market rate, one would expect the buyer to look for a cheaper/worse/distant property. This is not ideal of course if it is truly "gouging", but given the self evident value in a decentralized assessment of value I myself would not lose much sleep had I written the algorithm for such a site.

If you believe in those numbers go ahead and create a foundation funded by some long call options on the sustainable fishing industry with a mission to do whatever you think makes sense to fix that problem. You likely could get a decent financial backing if you can prove your work.

Agreed, I have no reason to keep it on my phone if they stop supporting SMS, I don't want the confusion of having two different apps maintaining messages. Pity, I'm a proud paying supporter, but if they don't reconsider I'll be uninstalling and taking my dollars with me.

Apparently a few of us do, I didn't catch the sarcasm either -- I am excited to see the performance impact though.

I'm no expert, but my understanding is that nationality is not race, and even being 'Hispanic' is an ethnicity not a race. It's a very coarse metric that seems to mostly align with skin color. IE, it's generally a pointless categorization. I wish I could compare us against the parallel universe where ear shape was used the same way skin color is used here.

Neither are breasts, and that's the basis of the comparison at hand. That said, it's silly, as are many of these discussions where victim-hood is to a degree subjective.

I'd say the verbiage is less a concern. Can the engineer recognize and perform the math, if given a specific applicable scenario? If not, the math should be included. We shouldn't need to hire mathematicians for anything short of specialized theoretical implementations.

If you're teaching the same fundamentals in 6 different classes that's absurd. Unless you're somehow min/maxing some learning algorithm (or perhaps, tuition?), you should have an intro to programming that explains all these things. There's no reason that if someone wants to specialize in a language that they shouldn't have the most basic of programming knowledge.

Perhaps construction waste is being burned in some percentage of cases, but even if it were I'd be keen to know if this level of trickle down effects are being calculated for 100 years for everything being assessed across the board or if this is getting particular scrutiny. Are we assessing the 100 year impact of planting a tree that might die?

Aaron Shwartz is one thing, Flynn did take half a million dollars from the Turkish government to lobby for some shady shit and only came clean after being called out, I find him much less 'innocent'. https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.nytimes.com%2F2017%2F0...
