Well, if a neighbourhood is good and convenient, it is only natural that more people would like to move there, more energy would be consumed and prices would rise. Besides this obvious thing, what exactly is your point?

Is coding a BST and traversing it that big a deal? I routinely code tree traversals at my work, so my judgement may be clouded here, so I am genuinely curious here to know if most people here think that it is unreasonable to expect someone

I don't publish papers, so I don't have a strong opinion about it. But like you, I am genuinely curious why alphabetical order was chosen as the convention rather than the amount of contributions (like GitHub does[1]). If the answ

I like my job, and I like programming... But there are other things I like too. Such as playing the guitar and saxophone, writing side coding projects, mountain climbing and traveling. Do you realize that writing side coding projects is jus

I like to write side code projects. You might think I do not have a life outside coding, but I do. I do not spend more than 3 to 4 hours per week on side projects. I play the guitar and saxophone. I go out in the weekends. I love mountain c

Time for anecdotes. Twice in my career, an employer has looked at my GitHub and asked specific questions about certain projects, what motivated me to write the project, why did I not use a popular big data technology to write the project, e

Sorry to say this but people like you who do not understand the gravity of the crime or the appropriate way to address it are part of the problem. It is ironical that the same kind of people think they are in any position to grade an apolog

I am not convinced they are very different models. My argument: An attacker can save the encrypted SSH traffic going over an insecure channel, then hold the traffic until 2030 and decrypt then. Do you find a flaw in my argument?
