gotta admire the hack. I’m still waiting on e-paper screen laptops...


It is clear to me that most people commenting here don’t understand or use LinkedIn effectively.

And the recruiter hate is also unjustified.


Nope. He uses Some software available only on windows or MacOs for his podcasts.

I am also strongly considering to jump ship from Mac to windows now. However, I have some software licenses that won’t transfer so I’m waiting for the renewal periods to expire.


Why? Seems that it is a well proven language. Just like php, asp.net, and other languages people like to hate on.

Or rather, how would you define mission critical?


1tb is nothing these days. If you insist on cloud the hetzner could be best bang for buck. Otherwise a similar desktop system can be acquired for less than 1000 usd.

I’d start with solr or elasticsearch and a simple indexing script (home rolled python script).

Then you can use solr admin or something like Jupyter for iterative querying.

I’m not an expert on index tuning, but you might even be able to dump it all into postgres with json types.

Best of luck!


Yeah, the amount of data is pretty small in the grand scheme of things, maybe that is why i'm getting so hung up haha. Elasticsearch was actually the first thing I thought of so maybe I'll just go with that and see what happens...


So if the universe is flat does that make the earth flat as well? :-D


It's a matter of perspective. It is certainly not flat from the perspecticve of our 5 basic senses.


I’d say our 5 basic senses that have a very limited reach would claim the earth is flat. Of course it is not flat though (just to be clear).


Not if you're an astronaut or pay attention to the horizons curvature and other simple observations.


I think it is flat in the sense that our 3D space has no curvature beyond the provided by gravity.

Of course this is totally different than saying it is 2D flat. We know this because of cats.

I am not sure why he was down-voted. It is clearly a sarcastic post.


There's an aversion to "Reddit-like" humor on HN. Especially if a post is a joke without any actual follow-up discussion.


I find it funny that a nearly identical comment (different wording, but ssame joke and no follow-up) in this thread hasn't been receiving the same negative attention.


Yeah, get your disgusting low-brow humor gone, foul beast! We want none of your entry level antics polluting our white collar supremacist abode!


scott_s said it best: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7609289

The issue isn't humor, it's lame humor, which is the kudzu of the internet.

I think it's just more about content density. I think most feel the same way about too much meta-hn conversation. Are we on topic?

Downvotes are just saying that maybe that comment wasn't welcome in this thread not that you aren't in any thread.

It's a much cleaner downvote than those against controversial, but thought out opinions.


Well let’s put the mans name here and references so that we don’t forget...


What is DECT?


Just a normal cordels phone at home or in a company. These days they almost all use DECT as standart for communication.


Damnit. You got here first.

We do technical interviews but it is more of a conversation about an existing issue or problem in the company. We talk about it like the candidate is a consultant.

Our expectation is that they will ask questions for clarity, probe, and challenge any decisions or architectures chosen to date.

Then they offer an insight, opinion, or story as to how they have solved similar problems in the past.
