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?

New comment by 1e10 in "Ask HN: Storing and processing less than 1TB of unstructured data?"

1e10 — Wed, 04 Dec 2019 19:11:19 +0000

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!

New comment by 1e10 in "Ask HN: How do you prepare for technical interviews?"

1e10 — Sat, 06 Jul 2019 18:33:13 +0000

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.
