I know how fraught performance/micro-benchmarks are. But do you have any data on how performant it is? Should someone expect it to perform similar to Haskell?

This is incorrect. Adjusted for corporate actions (splits/dividends) it's more like 2010 levels. https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/INTC/ (click "ALL")

Also James Murdoch (son of Rupert) is on the Tesla Board of Directors. WSJ is playing it down the middle, like they always do.

When I was there the only complaint I heard was the golang exceptions to the style guide. In no other language would you be allowed to name a variable a single letter like "r" for example.

Well that, and a check sitting on the desk for whatever amount the employee wants to come back to the office.

We use YouTube premium (so no ads) and there have been no snuff films of the pups. But my kids know not only all of the planets, but all of the dwarf planets. I sure didn't teach them that.

This isn't even an either/or proposition. You can inline SQL in pyspark just fine: df = spark.sql("...")

Everyone talks about taxing him. What about not subsidizing him in the first place? Without carbon credits and low emission vehicle credits he'd have gone bankrupt long ago.

What I find amusing is that they paid her an amount of money equal to her account number. Lucky for them crypto.com hasn't been around that long. My bank account has 10 digits.

If it makes you feel any better, it's all equally pointless. Might as well do what you enjoy.

You can get two years of experience as an undergrad. I don't take junior to mean "zero experience".

Hey man, I didn't design the page. That's the tightest filter I could get. Here's an example: https://finra.wd1.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/FINRA/jobs/details...

That's all IT roles. Anything with no prefix (e.g. "Developer") is a junior role.

We are. Most roles can be remote even if not explicitly called out: https://finra.wd1.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/FINRA/jobs?jobFami... Feel free to contact me if any of them need a resume put on top of the stack.
