That's pretty impressive that the immigration officer knew what a binary tree is. People who can't code a FizzBuzz but faked their way through an interview should be concerned.

Yeah, except VB6 was everywhere and I don't remember the last time I heard about Visual Basic .NET. Perhaps there's a lesson here. FWIW, I've yet to work at a place that uses Python 3 in production, or has any concrete plans

The fact that it requires to type in the exact answer (for its own definition of exact) is annoying. The first question I got was how Hemingway's protagonists are called. Let's say the answer is "A B". Well, the answer I

Considering even actual humans often have disagreements about meanings of songs, I'm not sure how an AI is supposed to deduce the "correct" one.

I couldn't even get the part where they fly you to the HQ and pay for the hotel. I'd make sure to ace the whiteboard interview if I got that far! But nope, the farthest I got was talking about irrelevant non-technical stuff over S

A lot of Russians are racist, xenophobic and homophobic. (Note how OP complains about "migration crisis" as a reason he doesn't want to move to Europe... yeah.) Moreover, the majority of them support a corrupt dictator who at

These are usually spread by word of mouth, rather than Googling. Of course, Google and Microsoft own a browser and can block them client-side, but that will only cause people to switch to alternative browsers. Finally, an OS-level block or

Funny how similar argument is used by white nationalists to assert that they have a right not to do business with minorities. The mindsets of far left and far right are oddly similar.

I'm impressed how the landing page is completely localized in Russian. Even the screenshots. You can switch the language in the selector at the bottom with like 20 different languages. Pretty cool for a small(?) company like Dropbox.
