It depends on the questions. If you require using real, compiler correct language in a coding exercise, and the problem is not trivial, than allowing search is more than fair. But the point of Fizzbuzz is being such trivial problem that it

Isn't overfitting historical data a basic mistake in any machine learning exercise, regardless of the domain ? I thought the common practice was using part of the historical data for creating the model, and another sizable, non overlap

"Also, a curse on Microsoft for localizing Excel formulas - what where they thinking ?" +1. It's like programming in Java or C and all the keyworks (if, interface, etc...) were changed to the local language. Madness.

Revenue it's not profit, and it's something that should be almost always positively correlated with advertising.

No, have you read my post ? No problem in promoting your views, just not expect people to take them at face value, or as an "impartial examination of facts", when they are not.

I don't see a huge difference between "engineer" and "developer", at least in Europe there are degrees in Software Engineering (which were born from traditional Engineering curricula) which are taught by the Univers

It might be one of the causes, but it's sort of naive to consider it as the main one. SF is not the only big city with a major influx of people coming there for work, I have seen quite a few European and American major cities, but &quo

His point is that probably just GTA5 has sold more copies in 5 years than all Valve games combined (a quick check of the most popular ones, HL 1/2, L4D 1/2, Portal 1/2 reaches about 30 mils), so that number of employees is ju
