How about Huxley is for 1st world rich countries like the US and Orwell for poor ones like the Soviet/Putin's Russia?

I'm with you on this. I don't remember much of algo questions before 2010 outside of actual GOOG. If anything, OOP design like "for a game of chess" were common in LNKD-like companies. And j.u.c-like real life knowledge.

Haskell comes to mind. In all seriousness, not really. Learning curve doesn't matter for a language that we'll pay your bills for the next twenty years. And once you fully internalize a JVM/.NET-level platform or Scala/C

Many state/city governments are captured by a certain party. They openly encourage criminals in an effort to destabilize the country enough to become the ruling party for good. So some ethnicities are forced to study, work hard, pay fo

I have never applied to FAANG for exactly this reason. But I have seen this style of interviews creeping up to dominate over the last decade. At least in the Bay Area. My impression is that European interviews are more sane (no dynamic prog

Isn't the main risk here not acquiring new production experience and so reducing your chances for finding the next gig? As in "adding new buzzwords to your resume" basically. When they ask you in three years about how you hav

YAML allows comments, I'll give it that. But what I really want is splitting configuration into multiple files that can be imported to others. And substitutions. Basically HOCON known on the JVM as https://github.com/li

Is it conceivable that the attraction of the Bay Area will steadily decline as a result? Or most people here still expect it to recover once offices are open again and life is back to normal? I love the climate myself. But on this very foru

Californian here. Name one thing the state government does for normal people who actually finance the largess. Are you really surprised billions go unaccounted in a place where train robberies are a thing? But don't you worry, a photo

It was common ten years ago. It was still possible in 2015 or so, at least in "B-round startups". I was still asked about my relevant previous experience. In hindsight, I believe people like me who ended up in companies like that

In the C -> C++ -> Java -> Scala progression Java was a gigantic golang-style detour from a multi paradigm language. STL had so much power and a lot of it can be attributed to quasi-FP abstractions. The first few posts in Bartosz M

It was about 10 years ago that the community agreed that it was the JVM that was successful. It's a platform with multiple viable languages. Scala obviously comes to mind. Kotlin is a somewhat mixed case because its popularity comes fr

That's one of the real world mysteries for me. * If you ever had to maintain a code base you didn't design (who haven't ???) how can you not want to have as much paper trail as possible? Especially when the original authors m

As a very pragmatic approach it's likely the most reasonable one. But it doesn't make it easier emotionally. It's like forcing yourself to use golang knowing fully well that you'd suffer through early-day-Java-level infe

Even though you're right from the perspective you mentioned I want to disagree with you from the PoV of a regular developer. Scala is not "Java vnext" and has a learning curve rivaling C++. Kotlin comes naturally to Java deve

It's hard to be certain but we have seen this story in Scala. Among the advantages advertised early was interoperability with Java and access to its huge ecosystem. In practice the Scala ecosystem is completely different (well, Akka is

I second that. I don't see NPEs in real life outside of early stage development of a new service. You inject all dependencies in constructors (Preconditions.checkNotNull if you're paranoid enough), make all fields final, and that&

You are asking for a Soviet-style curriculum and we can learn from their experience. The lesson here is not quite clear-cut unfortunately. Making something mandatory for everyone at the same level doesn't make it feasible. The Soviets

As much as this sentiment feels natural for an engineer there are a few things to keep in mind: * you get exposed to a wider range of technology at a startup and can work on different things; that's more fun for you personally especial

I imagine two SE incomes would result in ~50% marginal tax rate in CA if not AMT. Wouldn't it reduce the incentive?
