My program ran 3x slower on AWS t4g instances than on my mac.

Where can you get the fastest cpus for VPS hosting?

Does the compensation listed on YC jobs include stock converted to cash?

For example, Retool (https://www.ycombinator.com/companies/retool) claims to be paying $600k to someone with 6 years experience. I find this hard to believe.

I see no "sponsored" labels on Google shopping results. Does anyone else? How do you tell when it's an ad?

TLDR: weird treatment of global/nonlocal in CodeSignal, probably because they're wrapping the function.

I nearly lost a job offer today because CodeSignal does not execute 'real' Python.

Minimal example:

x = {} def f(): global x x['key'] = 'value' f()

This will succeed in real python, but fail in CodeSignal. To make it work in CodeSignal, you need to change "global" to "nonlocal":

x = {} def f(): nonlocal x x['key'] = 'value' f()

This will fail in Python! This should definitely come with a disclaimer on their site. It's criminal that you can write correct python and they can incorrectly mark your code as nonfunctional.

Perhaps I shouldn't give a minimal example, but only tell CodeSignal that their Python build was failing on my hidden test case...

Is there a service that proxies internet traffic and is capable of caching petabytes of responses? Like a reverse cloudflare, but cached within the datacenter you are accessing it from.

Imagine a job that needs to access the internet and render webpages, but you want to reduce the latency of the webpages.
