But there isn’t a finite amount of work. If we can do something with less then we should be able to do significantly more with more by applying the same optimizations.
It might be able to identify a unique user but not the user personally. I think there’s also a fairly broad margin of error in how accurate it can identify a unique user.
a) Techniques like this can identify a unique user to 99.5% accuracy e.g. https://fingerprint.com
b) It can identify the user personally because many web sites use pixels where we link the fingerprinted user to an email address and then send both to Meta, Google, Reddit etc. And since browsers like Chrome allow long lived first party cookies this works because users remain signed in for over a year.
I have a non technical bachelor’s degree and work at faang as a senior engineer and have been offered to move into staff.
I think being curious, always learning, being likable and good at interviewing (leetcode and sys design) don’t need a college degree after a few years of technical experience.
Everyone assumes I have a cs masters because that’s common at faang.
If I could get a do over though I’d just get the cs degree. I think there’s some value there.
Everyone checks out on Fridays with the exception of the rare fire.
But, crucially, we're all still present or within arm's reach. It seems more likely that we'll get 5 short days rather than 4 long ones so that everyone is on hand should things arise while, at the same time, acknowledging that long days become quickly inefficient.
Eh, it's not really the same, because you need to be available. You can't go do something outside and be unreachable even if you're mentally checked out.
The post isn’t asking our opinions of TA but rather for those that use TA to provide feedback. There’s obviously a market and this provides a product for that market similar to creating an app for astrologers.
