Play the game. You know the rules and you know what you need to do to win the game. So just suck it up and do it. It does not take much more than 1-2 hours of dedicated interview prep over the course of a month to be successful in whiteboar

You are not crazy to make that career switch, but I'm not sure that a dev bootcamp will really help you get there. Dabble in the aforementioned areas in your free time. I'm guessing you probably have at least a few software engine

My issue with Trump has never really been about his politics. I get that immigration and loss of manufacturing jobs due to globalization are serious concerns for a large swath of the American population. What I don't understand is how

This article doesn't give us enough information. How many hours overtime did he work? How many hours a week? How much pay gets doled out to janitors? Etc.

I'm surprised the author didn't include Axler's Linear Algebra Done Right under the math section considering how fundamental linear algebra is to so many domains of computer science.

I don't have any evidence about this, but the most compelling argument I've heard is optionality.

It didn't add to the discussion and the clarification graycat was getting at was hardly necessary. The overreaction edit added afterwards also probably did not help their cause.

Yeah, it's time to ask for a raise or look for a new job that pays you your market rate.

I got rejected at 7 final onsites before landing an offer. There is hope for you. Just keep working on projects and whiteboarding. Don't underestimate how much focused interview prep can help. Good luck!

It's true that people doing PhD's aren't monetarily driven but you can easily imagine that incentives change once they start a family and have to worry about things like a mortgage, college tuition for their kids, etc. If you

I don't see this as particularly damning to Palantir. From what I understand, Palantir is really like a McKinsey/BCG/Bain that specializes in data rich projects. If you view Palantir as another consulting firm, I'd be cu

I imagine a guy as talented as him(published papers on combinatorics in undergrad) would have no trouble learning all the things necessary to contribute to AI research.

I think this is the wrong sort of attitude to have towards hiring. Maybe interviews are suboptimal for finding good talent. Whatever. But if you want a job and you already KNOW the sort of tricks and games go on for these interviews, then w

Maybe I should've just asked the question I really wanted to ask: did MIT deny him tenure? If so, why? From what I've heard, Scott Aaronson is one of the rising stars of theoretical CS, so him moving on from MIT was very surprisin

There isn't much hard probability/statistics in deep learning since most of the stuff is empirical(IE: these neural network architectures work b/c we tried it and it works!). I'd say that deep learning is very accessible

Somehow I'm sure that some of the other problems must be a lot harder. Why else would heavy hitters like Poh Shen Lo and other past IMO competitors bother with this?

This is exactly what I've done with my FB newsfeed. You really do have to be ruthless with unfollowing people. But now my feed is just a stream of stories from the Times, Economist, Atlantic, etc. Some public figures post interesting s
