Apparently for a while their internal tech org was a number of fiefdoms with huge number of contractors and no central vision. They have changed that post-bankruptcy, bringing in serious operators in the exec team building the org, product and culture from scratch.they are hiring product, data and ml folks. Please dm me if interested in working on this, happy to connect

I dont have the source at hand, but soviets also preffered republicans to the left, since they could always make a dral with republicans while the lwft was too ideological.

Well, a good question is what are you offering the senior applicants, other than (hopefully competitive) money for their time. Are there interesting problems to solve? Is there potential for growth?are they going to have a say in the technical direction and strategy? How about the business side? Think of better ways to formulate the opportunity, your pitch, and ways to stand out in the market

You defer to the tv ratings and PR campaigns to define ‘civilization’.

To further add detail, the un resolution is focused sqarely on kelbajar region, which in any negotiation logic (madrid, kazan, etc) was slated to return to Azerbajan once the status of Karabakh was determined

Please stop spreading propaganda. The khojali massacre has not been confirmed anywhere but azerbajani sources.

In the meanwhile please refer to bombing of stepanakert with cluster munitions and precision bombing of maternity wards, hospitals and churches.

Judt start doing it in your current role. Be the person who sees the end to end, knows how to deliver it, and show others how to do it. The person writing tickets probably is tired of doing that. Help him out. Make connections with business side. Explain to them the technical nuance in human terms. Work the role. Next time when recruiting, tell your story. The title doesnt matter - principal engineer, tech lead, requirements ninja, all the same

My partner and I capitalized on dropping rents and just moved into a large 1br with amazing views and garage in SF, for a marginal increase in rent. I am hoping that with tech moving out and commercial real estate getting cheaper, the new generation of artists will come to the city, bringing with them the weird culture, the creatives, the experimental. Its not the first boom of this town and after every bust the city heals itself to something even better.

I run a team of data engineers, and over the years there has been a lot of confusion between what is a data scientist and what is a data engineer.

I draw the divide in that data scientists discover the features and the methodology, while data engineers take these insights to production. One can argue that data scientists themselves could do that, but this is constrained by the domain expertise on tools(be that the depth of spark internals or whatever) and the number of hours in the day. It's hard enough to deal with the variance of the models to deal with the variance of the system.

A good data engineer is a unicorn.I define three central competencies for a data engineer: be a good coder: quality, maintainability, efficiency, know how to explore the data: SQL, R, just eye the damn data feed, know enough data science to interface with scientists

For a data engineer it's okay not to know probability theory and stats that much, but its a must for a data scientist( running TensorFlow out of the box with no understanding of the underlying math doesn't make a data scientist, just a common butcher).

that sounds like a non-canonical use of clickhouse. Wouldnt a good RDBMS be a better fit for invoice data? This is on the surface, of course, really interested in what is this invoice data like, and what queries are you trying to run on them.
