I didn't really start my 'real' professional career until I was almost 40. Before that I was just hopping around between different jobs, trying things, and seeing if there was anything out there that I actually wanted to do f

Which is why all the LeetCode interviews always struck me as odd. They focus on algorithms, not data structures I helped my nephew preparing some competitive coding event, and transforming the data into the right data structure was a huge

Maybe they have a point. Given that you where arguing that using python on the most popular OS in the world should fall outside of a 'normal' use case python should focus on, perhaps you have a too narrow view of what "corr

There were proto-smartphones in the early 90s Which phones are you thinking of? I would consider either the Nokia Communicator in 1996 or the Ericsson R380 from 1999, as the first proto-smartphones. Or are you counting things like Apple

No, but 10-15 seconds vs 30 seconds is a huge difference in some cases. 15 seconds will take butter from fridge temp to room temp. 30 seconds will take butter from fridge temp to melted.

Where are you? We have tons of 2-lane roundabouts in Sweden as well, and I can assure you that far from everyone understands them. And even if they understand them in the sense that they got the theory question about them correct on their d

It's to drive it until "the wheels fall off." Not sure I agree. I've seen people do that and they inevitably end up spending thousands on repair and maintenance the last few years of the cars life. Had they sold &#x27
