I was a naval officer in a prior life, and my current manager loves that I get the job done, whatever it is, without complaint. I'm pretty much the opposite of what you think, so if my desire to study for the algorithm interview is you

I already make plenty of money in my current job and I'm fairly happy. If I wanted to switch companies I'd be interviewed as if I were a recent college graduate. Anyone experienced and good at this isn't going to have time fo

Google recruiters call me a lot. I think I'd do a good if not stellar job working there. I've passed multiple FAANG interviews and been very successful as a senior developer. In my email I have an "interview prep packet"

The top grads of the academy get their pick of jobs and most of them pick aviation or nuclear surface/subs. Surface warfare officer is not the most desireable job for most people. And it sucks so bad most people have much better option

In the first example the named interface would be easier for me to read in a large project than Func<List<int>, List<int>> and with actual code there for implementation the two lines to define the interface would end up be

Not surprising at all. What's surprising is that it's taken this long to appear in the news. While in the shipyards for maintenance I would stand watch and was responsible for letting people on/off a large ship. Most were con

Snowboarding is the best, but whoever told you that is steering you wrong. Skiing is much easier to learn. Lessons will definitely help shorten the learning time but be prepared for your first 3-5 days to be a painful experience if you&#x27

It's expensive but I did it in college when I made a spare $250 a month. Old Volvo 240, used gear, waterproof running pants with sweats underneath that I already owned. Total cost of entry was a few hundred dollars. It's much bett

I have the same reaction every time I read about any cable company, and that's, "WTF are you all still giving them your money for?!" They have a monopoly on a dying service you literally don't need at all, and most peopl

The value of this gift is much greater than then nominal sum. My parents gave me $3000 for the down-payment on my first house, which cost $100k. Otherwise I wouldn't have been able to afford to buy a house. But I bought instead of rent

Listen to "Class Clown." It's an earlier recording and he was extremely mellow and funny. His later stuff was kinda funny at the time but has not aged well at all comedy-wise IMO.

Former Navy officer here. The "privatized" housing was a complete farce. There's a natural monopoly on military base housing and turning that over to a for-profit private company nearly guarantees they're going to cut co

If you don't know C and it would be the lowest-level language you would otherwise know, you should learn it. Same with assembly. Same with writing your own operating system in some combination of C and assembler. At that point you&#x27

Hey now, oil is fantastic. The U.S. will be able to use the proceeds from this bounty of natural resources to fund an excellent public health system, just like Norway!

Sure! When I see Derek Truck play guitar in that first video, I feel about his playing how BB King says he feels, like this was one of the best things I've ever heard. The second one has a bit of a story behind it; the girls on stage a

I grew up in a very conservative household in the U.S. and when Bill Clinton was elected I watched my mother descend into a pit of anger, fueled by her constant attention to Rush Limbaugh and cable news. Her fixation on the Clinton presiden
