I've thought of interviewing as finding the intersection of something to have a discussion about. Tech is so broad and deep it's possible that two people will have minimal overlap. It's nice to find some common ground you c

If you're at the same company, generally the answer is obvious. Overly bored with the tech and internal politics. Probably, brushing up on interviews to escape.

I know people who died of opioid overdoses, and they were always prescribed it. Also if you read "Dreamland" 80% of heroin addicts started addiction with prescribed drugs.

Have degrees in both and agree. The amount of work require to get a B in data structures would get you an A+ in biochemistry. Physical Chemistry on the other hand...

When they have a repl maybe they can be considered.

I like the idea of having poppies when doctors are fishing around in my body with scalpels or after I break a femur. Eliminating would just punish those who don't make questionable life decisions.

The people that get into it usually lose years of their life to skydiving. Many quit their other hobbies and stop hanging around friends from their old life and even quit their jobs. More similar than you'd think :)

Puzzle based interviewing isn't that common. The only places that do that are out of touch. Most technical interview questions for in person interviews are word problems in the form of a requirement.

What's the power bill? I have considered doing the same but seems like you almost have to buy a house that big or live in a non-desirable area.

Annuals are at least $1000 a year, with insurance, taxes, and other costs you'd probably spend $8K a year to have it sit not flying. Add in flying costs and engine reserve you'd spend $10K or more a year. Source: Am a pilot.

My wife got yelled at by an instructor today for verbalizing "airspeed alive". Something she does as she rotates to determine if she wants to abort before she's committed. After she relayed the story I mentioned this thread

In practice the majority of web app performance have more to do with latency of IO. People seem to forget that 4ms may seem fast to humans, but it's glacial to computers. Add 100 4ms calls to the DB and all the sudden your code is wa

It's not unheard of in smaller towns of Appalachia and even Charlotte. The larger gangs scared off the black tar purveyors.

From Paul Graham, and one of the best essays on the subject ever written: http://www.paulgraham.com/avg.html As long as our hypothetical Blub programmer is looking down the power continuum, he knows he's looking down.

What about JS with multiple idiomatic styles? I was asked what filter and each do, which I wrote out because they are super small. Easier to show a little code to explain.

I've done this by deriving most of the functional constructs in the language. At the end the guy was finally like, do you know lisp? Most people just don't have the knowledge base and think you don't know what you're d

I always thought a hilarious interview question was, "what's regular about a regular expression?" Similar to, "What's Cascading about Cascading Style Sheets?"

My favorite example of this is when an interviewer asked me about an algorithm. In the course of the problem it occurred to me, what I needed was to break down the input integer into two parts--two equal parts that could be multiplied toge

I've been in the market for a plane for a while and have yet to fly a da40. What about them so you find better than a 182? They seem more economical in terms of fuel.
