At some jobs we make the libraries you use to solve those problems. These interview questions test very basic CS concepts and many of them are essentially just extremely watered down versions of real life problems. I can teach a dev how to

I really dislike the new keyboard and it might be the reason I end up returning my new MBP. The key presses feel inconsistent (escape/arrow keys need a harder press for no clear reason), the tactile feedback isn't great... I wish

As an interviewer if I was ever asked a whiteboarding question it would be an instant rejection, regardless of your performance in the interview. It shows a lack of social awareness and I wouldn't be comfortable working with you on my

Your calculations are oversimplified. The real cost to a student should be around $20k. Does the $30B per year not cover the funding for the UC medical centers, museums, athletic programs, etc.? The amount of money actually spent on student

I think people downvote when they see "no remote" or similar. I really wish the admins turned off voting in this thread.

Apple needs to implement a way where you can set up 2 separate PINs. One for your regular stuff and another that logs you into a sort of dummy state, where things look real but really are not. Heck, I'd switch to Android if something l

And it disproves OP's other point (the one he even highlighted in italics): > None of those salaries listed are competitive with what a non-H1B (read citizen or permanent resident) would earn.

Did you learn it by scrolling down on the front page and looking at the text below the list of moderators? I sincerely hope you aren't trusted to run a public community ever again if your first reaction is to start an off-site proposal

Not all around the city. There aren't any farms in the Metro area. It's the neighboring states' farms that are burning crops.

My review _is_ a reliable record of user experience. If the reader buys the printer he is likely to face the same issue that I'm describing. To not warn them of the issue with the product seems way more unethical to me in my moral fram

Disagree. You don't have to own a product to write an honest review of it. You don't need to have a Galaxy that caught fire to warn others of what's happening. I'm going to leave a 1-star review because my review is an a

No, he shouldn't be forced to version his product. Being taken advantage of by a large media house != being bad at business.

I don't agree with that at all. It's up to him to set the price for his improved product, whether it's 10% more or 100% or 1000%. It's unfair though when an old version of his product is presented at an old price point u

I never understood this. If its possible to be a profitable independent day trader, and we know it is because many are, then it should be possible to code the rules you follow and become a profitable algo trader.

No, that comparison would be a farce since you can't account for variables other than gender when comparing CEOs.

If you were an investor in 1985 and you did this analysis and ran out-of-sample tests, you would have 15 years of profitability before the algorithm starts generating losses. After a few months of losses you would discard the algorithm and
