From Andrew’s post

> Zig 0.16.0 is tagged. Release notes are just about completed and will be published in about 20 hours when the tarballs finish building. As it turns out, it takes a while to build LLVM 27 times on one computer! That's how many different targets we provide compiler binaries for now - all cross compiled from one host.

I’ve been making a project in zig 0.16 with Claude as a learning experiment. It’s a fairly non trivial project (BitTorrent compliant p2p downloader for model weights on top of huggingface xet) - whenever it doesn’t know the syntax or makes errors, it literally reads the standard library code to understand and fix it. The project works too!

Agreed. I tried cline but roo code has been massively better at same tasks. The added features are also really nice.

I’ve honestly had consistently the opposite experiences for general questions. Also for images, Gemini just hallucinates crazily. ChatGPT even on free tier is giving perfectly correct answers, and I’m on Gemini pro. I canceled it yesterday because of this

Is remote from India a possibility?

This is the exact problem I’ve been dealing with lately. As a dad of a toddler, can’t find any time for deep work for personal work. And that’s probably okay since family does take priority. Good strategies though, thanks.

Great article. The book Database Internals looks amazing. Are there any other such books that deep dive into internals?

Microsoft interviews are purely core CS stuff. I think even for 4-5 year experience guys they ask mostly data structures and algorithms.

Agreed. A product owner or a product manager is what people in OP's position usually go for. And they draw very high salaries from what I've seen. Companies must desperately want people in OP's position.

Your experience in building the startup is highly valuable. If you're going to look for a job, you will be most likely asked architectural and system design related questions, with Data structures and algorithms problems for screening at some places. You will easily find a well paying job with your experience and portfolio, don't worry.

I've found podcasts to be incredible tools to induce sleep. It's very difficult to stay awake for me while listening to any podcast or audiobook. I really don't know how people do it.

Are there more great resources like this to learn finding, cleaning and structuring data? Would greatly appreciate it if someone could point me in a direction.

praveer13 — Mon, 26 Dec 2016 03:38:07 +0000

I want to learn machine learning and also complex systems deeply and build some projects around them.

I think you're looking for something to take offense to without any reason. A tribe from a poor country building these things from videos they saw on internet is certainly more impressive than a 15 year old american kid doing the same. The reason is not that they can't be that capable, the difference is that these people have not been exposed to education, environment, schools, infrastructure, computers etc like a kid from the most developed country in the world. That is what is impressive here. You can't compare the two because of the background they come from, not because they are inferior.

This thread is really depressing as someone currently going through a bootcamp. (dataquest) Is it more realistic to aspire for data engineering/analyst roles?

>By doing python projects first you familiarize with it and then if you are still on - you should read zen of python, pep8, etc..

Would you mind recommending some projects for a python beginner?

praveer13 — Sat, 10 Dec 2016 05:19:13 +0000

The difference here is that physics has an established set of rules to define what is a meaningless question and what is a meaningful question. There is a reason metaphysics is not physics.

This really sucks. Wow. Sadly I never got to participate in this community which I've heard so much about, as all Indians are banned from joining.

Same here, I think I had it too when I was a kid..I wonder if my excessive internet use drowned my internal voice or something else.
