Answering a technical question takes more time and effort than making general comments.

Ok sure. This explains a lot. If that's the problem you're getting, then it is indeed testing basic programming skills. But the general landscape has gone far beyond this. Nowadays this solution would probably not get you the job.

I'm assuming you have never needed to practice these problems as you already have basic programming skills and are thus able to do every Leetcode Hard within 30 minutes of first seeing the problem?

In those subjects they choose different units so that the speed of light is 1 of that unit, but it still has that unit associated to it. So it is not dimensionless.

by Ragib_Zaman 6y ago
The speed of light has units. The fine structure constant is a dimensionless quantity, like pi.

The thirst mechanism becomes less reliable with age, so older people may find those products beneficial. But yes, for most healthy young to middle aged people, "drink when you're thirsty" is generally fine. Maybe with the add

I think it's specific to web development, in particular it tests for performance under user load.

It's generally pretty rare for a market maker to lose money over a whole year. Colour me surprised.

Facebook's tendency to display content which reflect more extreme versions of the opinions that the user already has is probably a sizeable force behind our societies growing division. They know this, but they also know that type of co

There's a spectrum of roles. The role you describe is that of a trader at the extreme end (little coding ability required, manual monitoring of strategies/opportunities). But there are many traders who spend a majority of their ti

Most fruit are nowhere near as healthy as most people expect they are. They have been selectively bred over many hundreds of years to be far larger, sweeter and more devoid of micronutrients than they were hundreds of years ago. The amount

Correct. Perhaps even more important than vitamin D is nitric oxide. The summarised advice is to avoid the sun when it is high in the sky (noon-ish), get some sun in the mornings/evenings, and supplement vitamin D. This ensures good le

Too much Vitamin D without sufficient Vitamin K can lead to high levels of serum calcium that are not absorbed into the bones. One function of Vitamin K is to shuttle calcium into the bones. You can often purchase combined Vitamin D and Vit

Vitamin D has a relatively long half life in the body, so taking a large dose weekly results in essentially the same bodily concentration as taking smaller doses daily. Some people prefer taking their doses weekly as a matter of convenience

In favour of recursive functions, not imperative constructs, to make loops(gresearch.co.uk)

Another way to reduce the acidity is to mix in ground up egg shells into the ground coffee. As you brew this mixture, the calcium carbonate of the egg shells (alkaline) partially neutralises the acids from the coffee beans. You can even com

I'll take a stab at it (sorry if I'm not getting to the heart of your question and wrote about things you're already familiar with). I think there are two key levels of understanding about the kernel trick (the observation th

Not allowing multi-line lambdas is beneficial for code readability. If your lambda needs multiple lines, you should write a function.

It's useful when the object being assigned to those variables are literals instead of reference types, which in my experience is most of the time when you want to do the simultaneous assignment. When you do want to do reference types,

I used to listen/watch everything at 1.5x-2x speed but found a similar result. Now I only increase the speed if it's information I only need to process once (e.g the news) but not remember later (lectures, tutorials etc).

Along these lines, Project Euler is great.

The network that you train in that tutorial is quite small. Your networks have to get quite large before the overhead of transferring the network onto the GPU is negligible to the cost of training it. You'll see the benefit of the GPU

I disagree. Why would it be reasonable to assume "multiplication without a specific implementation is constant"? By definition, Big-O complexity describes what happens as a certain parameter gets arbitrarily large. If we say &quo
