They make malware that steals funds from corporations (willingly!) so these corps can tick a security checkbox for some certification investors have been told is paramount; it's just disguised as security software.
AI researchers at top firms make significantly more than software engineers at the same firms though (granted that the difference is likely not an order of magnitude in this case though).
Unless you know something I don’t, that’s not the case. It also makes sense, engineers are far more portable and scarcity isn’t an issue (many ML PhDs find engineering positions).
There's a third explanation of "Яndex" being "языковой индекс" i.e. "language-aware index". Russian language have complicated morphology with three genders and six grammatical cases, somewhat similar to Latin. Searching by an exact word-match almost never gives good results, and neither Yahoo nor AltaVista could offer any better in 1997 -- hence Yandex was built.
That could potentially be solved by having different buckets for different regions and industries? Seems like that'd be a much fairer system than the current lottery one.
Well, then you check tax return of employees -- if they don't actually reside in the same region, the last person who touched the immigration form is getting a date with a rattan stick.
My biggest problem with regex is each language/program/whatever has their own take on it. You don't have to learn it over and over, you have to learn multiple slightly different versions of it over and over.
I don't mind the slightly different versions, that's what documentation and SO is for. I mind the language being a garbage kludge of organically-grown syntax and semantics, with not the slightest hint of a single principle or a unifying idea. And I mind that the vast majority of interfaces to it from a general purpose PL is fucking around with strings like a caveman, instead of a typed, IDE-assisted, first-class representation as a full-blown language construct or mix of constructs
been recently learning Python in earnest. Coming from Perl, Ruby, PHP, JavaScript, etc. I'm just dumbfounded. How on earth did Python's regex library get to be so bad? It's like it was designed by people that were figuring out how regexes worked as they went along but must have skipped the part about modifiers, how anchoring works, etc. No wonder so many people hate regexes. The ironic part is Python's "one obvious way to do it" zen thing. It has like 5 different ways to do the same thing with a regex whereas Perl, the "more than one way to do it" camp has simple and obvious ways to do everything with regex. I love regex in Perl. In Python I don't want to touch it ever again. Even JavaScript is miles better.
I agree. I actually have a pretty strong understanding of regexes and use them regularly (for editing, not so much in code), but I despise how every editor/language does them subtly different.
Is pipenv still being patched? When I moved to Poetry, I did because there were outstanding issues for pipenv that made it bug out with my setup (pretty sure it was a WSL thing?) but the maintainer hadn’t committed anything in months and wasn’t accepting PRs.
It is popular, but it is not standard by any means. There are many voices against it in the Python community who prefer Poetry, or who have stuck with setuptools because there is no mature replacement yet.
Yes, but that's not at the hiring level but at education level. You can't expect every single tech company to be representative of the population since there simply aren't that many female/black/whatever engineers
