That's really interesting, what language is that if you don't mind me asking?

That seems like a compelling case for a different design - doing something so that the existing motors can be used. Hopefully when all this blows over we'll have some interesting books and articles to read!

Dyson are working with Technology Partnership, a medical device manufacturer. Presumably they're working on a new design that takes advantage of the existing tooling and parts that Dyson have. There's another consortium working t

In the uk fewer than 2000 people a year die from car accidents - the take no action modelling has deaths at around 1 million by the end of the summer in the UK(plus a health service that is entirely paralysed)

On android I just (from london) typed "Washington DC to New York" and it instantly popped me up directions for the other side of the world, with two editable boxes. That seems pretty decent UX wise?

How do you stop one person signing up, doing the whole verification process correctly and then someone else using the app/driving the car? The only safeguard that springs to mind is providing a photo of the driver to the user, but tha

According to wikipedia there's support for Silverlight on IE9 through to 2021 - that doesn't seem too bad?

Curious how this one has changed on the internet. From a UK perspective I'd always thought of it as a case of crazy pay-out. Why does this one women get several million dollars (although googling reveals this number went down a bit on

That would make a lot of sense, but wouldn't be very practical to add in to an existing code base.

Thing of it as a different analogy. There are various chores to do around the house - some of them must be done synchronously (do the ironing - we don't want to leave the iron on). Some of them can be done asynchronously (run the wash

I'm afraid that data isn't readily available - although I'm sure it's public somewhere But...this is a serious crime we're talking about here, I'm not sure why you think otherwise?

16000 people going through these fairly mundane bit of EU legal procedures. Some of them will have done worse things, but many of them will have done much less worse things (like the aforementioned chicken theft. What international manhunt

What makes you think no one has been extradited for this sort of thing? According to the EU there were over 16000 warrants issued in 2015 (the latest number I could find)[0]. And way back in 2009 we were worrying about how easy arrest warra

The Johnny Cabs in Total Recall spring to mind. The Will Smith I, Robot had shifting between auto and self driving modes as a plot point too if I remember rightly. It feels like there are some good stories to tell around them too. I'm

So I don't have a fixed good answer for any of these - what I'd like to see is that it's something the interviewee has thought about/read about. I'm also interested in how deep the knowledge goes, can they discuss t

Interesting thoughts. What would you think of as a good closed ended question? I always worry that if I'm to specific I'll get false negatives (do they really not know what protected means or have they had a brain fade under pres

Well I'm very happy if people have prepared for these questions beforehand, and I try and give people hints and nudges to help get good answers out of people (I want people to do the best they can!). Do you think there are any style of

The people I've been interviewing have had between 1-4 years experience. For people with effectively zero experience these questions have limited value, and I try to tailor the questions to the level of person I'm interviewing.

Well I personally owe an entire career to the fact I could learn to code for free thanks to add supported services. I'm rather glad I could skype my brother in Japan even when I couldn't afford international call rates. And so on.

Could someone with more experience expound on why this is the case? Could you not just alter slightly the desired output? - Here's the 5 things we tried this year, why we failed and why we think it's still worth pursuing
