So, some guy I never heard of is not fringe because he has 1.6 million subscribers, but Facebook "used to be popular" because they only have 2.38 billion users? Come on now. The numbers clearly show that to Facebook, 1.6 million s

I get the feeling that the people who don't like algorithms interviews are also the people who find them difficult to pass. Go ahead and memorize, it'll be obvious if you can't explain how you got that answer.

Big O is hardware independent.
724.
by ggggtez 8y ago
Exactly. You can try to compare two bytes, but really you are comparing 8 bits, if you thought about it algorithmically. Maybe those steps are 100% parallel. But it's irrelevant to the big O. You are measuring number of steps, and it&#

When I was in highschool, this thought certainly occurred to me. On the other hand, the possibility exists that an author's intention is actually irrelevant.

I wasn't able to find their developer policy, but I'd assume this is a pretty cut and dry case of violating the policies he agreed to when he submitted the game for review. Nintendo is very protective of running pirated or unoffic

It's the number of bits. You can change to bytes, but you are just hiding another constant factor of 8 by doing that.

Disagree. If you think that, what do you ask? "How would you Google or Stack overflow for the answer?" That's hardly going to provide any useful signal. At the end of the day you need to ask something that shows evidence ther

I mean, it's not fair game though. You can release a bug, tell other people how it works, publicly shame the government into having better security. But stealing the documents and holding the stolen documents for ransom? Why should t

"Normally" is a strong word, when it seems pretty clear his "bounties" are more like blackmail payments. White hat hackers release bugs to get them fixed. This is clearly just a case of extortion. You release a bug, you

I keep forgetting the general public is not aware of these things. Data is like nuclear waste. Everything you do online leaves a pattern of behavior that is unique to you. Your only saving grace is no one cares about you specifically, until

Thanks, I thought I was going crazy the way everyone seemed to forget your photos already are used in ads. Thanks for clarifying what is new here.

They already did this years ago. Has everyone really forgotten?

There isn't really very much to learn. Just start on wikipedia, and expand out if you think there is something more. Markov Chains are very simple in practice.

The shear number of typos and punctuation issues should cause anyone to question why they are taking advice from this person, exactly.

Are you arguing that most people don't think that poor people are lazy? In the context of this conversation, the poster is right about what most people believe. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.newsweek.com&

You can't just go around calling everyone mentally ill because you don't like the idea that this person really was a spy. There are lots of people who want to spy, not just the CPC. If it helps you sleep at night, blame a company

I'll be honest, the products listed that they think is "damaging" the Google brand is a mix between "I've literally never heard of that" and "I literally don't care about that". Of course, with F

This. Netflix is buying security for their product by doing this. We may all think (know) DRM is dumb, but DRM is more than just about how hard it is to hack. Sure, everyone could in theory reverse engineer this stuff. But the point is th

Sucks, I agree, but this shouldn't be surprising. No one wants to open source their DRM. The title made me think they blocked you from creating a browser, which clearly isn't the case, unless you really feel that Widevine support

Of course they can... You can share file handles in a bunch of ways.

I'm not convinced. This seems like you are forgetting about every piece of malware ever. It seems hyperbolic to say that the filesystem is served "well for decades". Besides, it's not abandoned, it's just no longer

Probably. What you are describing is essentially creating an app that runs as root, I guess. Literally the only thing changing is that your downloads and photo folders will now be Content Providers instead, I assume. You never had full acce

If you can write the exact same (non-trivial) code twice, that's fairly remarkable.

Performing a double blind test on whether meditation can help you avoid pain would probably be unethical. Most of the claims about meditation are not verified. You could certainly expect to avoid some pain by meditating. Maybe you picked

"Natural" is just a buzzword. People have eaten plants for medicinal purposes since pre-historic times. Why should we shy away from advances in medicine and force the patients to re-wire their brains instead? Meditation is unnatur

What are you talking about... It is man in the middle. This attack is a lot older than encryption, so if you think encryption is required then you've made a big mistake. It refers to literally a person intercepting your message before
