From the same wiki article what I gather is that attending Stuy has nothing to do with economic status or money. It is very selective in a merit based admissions test and the tuition is free. It is very plausible that he was a poor kid in I

Genuine question - who builds linked lists from scratch today ? The only place I found where you had to build a linked list was in LRU cache. Also who writes LRU cache from scratch as you have it already available in Redis ? What exactly do

Which is why you should always travel while your current stamping is valid. The renewal always has a window. This is what I did all the time. If your new visa is refused you still have time left on your old visa to come back and take care o

This is not unique to US. Almost all visa applications to any first world country are like this. It’s an excruciatingly painful process to fill out even a tourist visa form for crying out loud. This social media requirement is as ridiculous

I love the Apple wired earphones that come with the phone. However, if you travel a lot or move around, the wires tend to tangle and when you need the headset in the split of a second they don't work. It's not a critical use case

My city Bangalore effectively enforced a plastic ban. So some grocery stores now only have paper bags even to pack veggies. I think it's doable. The government enforced the ban as there was no alternative, we don't have enough spa

Severance always depends on the length of your stay at that company. Typically it's 1 week for a year of service. So yeah, good luck with that if you are anything less than 5 years into the job.
