@maruushae The main point of match cases is for pattern matching (i.e object destructuring), not for normal conditional flow control

Why nobody using switch case in python, each time i see API request as a example it's with a if/else

@martin_casado tf is an infra folk?

Nearly every board meeting : "Hiring strong infra folks is incredibly hard right now"

league of legends will humble you faster than life ever could i watched a 35 year old man cry on a coaching call last month. not because of the game. because of what the game showed him. he's a senior manager at some tech company. makes $180k. has a wife. has kids. everyone in his life tells him he's smart. successful. "got it figured out" he's been hardstuck silver for 6 years. six fucking years. in real life he can hide. blame the economy. blame his team at work. blame circumstances. tell himself stories about why he deserves more. league doesn't give a fuck about his salary. the game gave him a number. that number said "you're silver" and no amount of corporate titles changes that. that's what broke him. not the losses. the mirror. here's what nobody tells you about this game. it's the only place left in modern life where you can't bullshit yourself. your job? you can coast for years and nobody notices. your relationships? you can blame the other person forever. your fitness? you can tell yourself "i'm just big boned" until you die. league? you queue up. you play. you get a rank. that rank is a blood test for your soul. your decisions. your mechanics. your mental. your ability to stay calm when 4 strangers are inting your dreams. it's all measured. quantified. ranked against millions of other players. and you can't lie about it. i've seen doctors who save lives get gapped by 16 year olds who skip school to play. i've seen lawyers who argue million dollar cases get mental boomed by a mastery 7 lux missing every Q. i've seen CEOs who run companies rage quit after getting solo killed by a vayne top. the game doesn't care who you are out there. in here you're just another player getting humbled. most people spend their entire lives avoiding mirrors. they build careers where no one questions them. relationships where no one challenges them. friend groups where everyone agrees with them. league players get humbled every fucking day. you think you're good? someone better shits on you. humbled. you think you've improved? you hit masters and lose 3 in a row. humbled. you blame your team? you watch the replay and see 20 mistakes you made. humbled. over and over. daily. the game dragging you back to reality. that's not a curse. that's the most valuable thing you'll ever experience. because humbling is just learning with extra pain. the 35 year old manager? he hit gold last week. not because he got better at league. because he finally stopped lying to himself. the game will humble you faster than life ever could. Study the Saskio way

Don’t let them see you..🧿

"We don't hire juniors" is highly anti-social imo, firms with this kind of policy should be shunned by the industry

@tarunnx @codewithimanshu @ChShersh And how do you think that buffer is allocated 🤔

@codewithimanshu @ChShersh no mmap, skip the OS create a buffer pool and load the data inside that

Here’s a question from a real HFT interview for an SWE role. “How do you dump gigabytes of data to a file as fast as possible?”

@TobyPhln Any plans on hiring grads?

You don't wanna drive after a short 36h work-day? No problem, join xAI in London and take the tube home. Check out the page below for more information about roles, perks, and the interview process. x.ai/london/

Testing reveals speed, not depth. Real life is about depth. RIP Jim Simons

@cb_doge @elonmusk @xai Heard you guys were going to do grads and intern soon, is it true?

@zeddotdev when are we getting support for notebooks :))

GPUI application spotlight. 🔦 Fast Forward: A window switcher for macOS!

@quant_arb Unsurprising, mean is a row operation (with axis=1) on a column major data layout

The first one is actually a fair bit faster because it uses NumPy vectorized operations. Easy benchmark as a quick proof:

@NUMAresearchco @idro___ I don’t think so, its a row operation while the data is column major

@inamudo @idro___ Both are vectorized...

@theskilledcoder This gotta be ragebait

Database Scaling Rules 1 table → fine 10 tables → add indexes 100 tables → need query optimization + caching 1000 tables → need sharding, read replicas, schema governance

@timgedenk Probably stems from something deeper. I’d bet on bad interview process, companies so focused on testing if candidates can think outside the box. They’re forgetting to see if they can think inside of it x)

Fired 5 people in the last 5 days, who is it gonna be tomorrow? No joke this is getting ridiculous.

@_vatsadev @arb8020 Not even, a lot of quant ones have underwhelming pay after first year ( since its sign on heavy). E.g squarepoint pays less than big tech

@arb8020 its literally mapped to payscale lmao

ragebait attempt

@tanay_mehta Similar experience here, scrappiest and least technically demanding process I've ever had. As a bonus got some interviews rescheduled with 2 minutes notice :))

I actually had a very strange, almost robotic interview with these people and realised that very moment what culture they have

@EEricoh @Feliciamtang @raiku_dev Not worth dwelling on it, ig I just didn't appreciate getting compared to a hinge match after putting 3 rounds in their mediocre process

@Feliciamtang @raiku_dev Hmm, did 3 rounds with you folks, and I didn't get any feedback. This was after having an interviewer doing the most scrappy system design interview ever ( no virtual whiteboard or anything ). Also, after you guys rescheduled my interview 3 times x) forcing me to do it at 11pm x)

@seconds_0 good if you read it "a la carte" imo (e.g stream processing chapter is goated for interviews), reading it front to back is just psychopath behaviour imo

has anyone actually read this book or does it exclusively exist to be memed about and sat on desks
