While I commend the creator on a good looking and well-designed user interface - I will say that it boggles my mind when people give up their login credentials to unknown entities on the internet. There is this fundamental disconnect betwee

This is not correct. It is not their job to police the internet. The analogy is more like writing a messaging app then being asked to revoke access to someone because they are texting while driving.

Covid-19 is the name of the disease. The virus is called SARS-Cov-2. The virus has mutated plenty of times already and exists in many forms not just two. The paper talks about being able to group existing mutations into two types. Within ea

Notably, the bugfix made PHP maintainers realize that the header handler had additional behaviors that they did not understand nor had a rationale for, so those behaviors were removed as well: https://github.com/php/php

I shudder to think about what will happen if they go down for whatever reason. Or get compromised, or the renewal gets bugged etc. It is all cool and great, but is it sustainable long term, who guarantees that everything will work in 10 yea

ok, but considering how many fewer people take public transportation in the US, and on average how less dense living conditions are it may be that the risks balance out. Edit: I will also say that health care in the US is excellent for many

If anything the exact opposite is true. These planes are vetted so closely and strictly that will probably make them the safest plane in existence. How many Airbus have messed up wiring or have debris in the fuel tank? None? Do you know why

I don't get it, honestly. I would not recommend a candidate, who, when asked if they could do this with cut|sort|head would reply something like: heh, what a pathetic question, I bet your history is full of "man cut" it is

Basically you are saying that you cannot think of a way of doing this, other than the most inefficient way --> hiring a new person This answer would make you fail the interview :-)

Interesting how negative your reaction is. Also how far off target all that anger is. I am not selecting for a tribe, I am selecting for a job. The questions are loaded, of course. Among the many duties, the jobs do require processing large

nothing wrong with knowing the answer or where to look it up, I don't get what your point is the purpose of the interview is to filter out people that do not know the answer or have pre-learned something and don't fully understand

the point is to see how people think, it is not so simple to regurgitate pre-learned answers when you alter a problem one small attribute at a time, in each case a different answer becomes optimal, thus you can see if the person understand

In my personal experience, having interviewed dozens of candidates (data science), I believe that asking "easy" and "simple" questions is the most effective way to probe the problem-solving skills of a candidate. Fun and

The motor is not all that important here. It is about masterfully selecting gearing, while also keeping friction in check all the while load balancing across the numerous flimsy plastic axles. A tour-de-force in engineering.

I think sharing numbers at this granularity is fun for readers, and I, like others enjoy digging into details, but to frankly, it may not be so good for the companies in question. It provides too much data and insight to competitors. I won

it is probably not a math mistake since, when they applied the probability the 620 people is correct. Might be a typesetting (formatting) mistake. The 0.0002 is already a percent, but someone overlooked that and turned it again into percen

I will say that I have yet to see a program that, when rewritten in awk rather than python would look worth to learn awk instead of python. But it could be that I was just never shown one.

The problem with awk today is that it has very few features that would make it superior to Perl,Ruby or Python. The only instance where awk has utility for me is when the program is short enough to be explicitly specified at the command lin

I would say that perhaps diff is a special case of alignments, but not in reverse. Alignments differ from a "diff" because they are assigning a score to each operation (match, mismatch, gap). The "optimal" alignment only

the important thing to remember here is that there is identity and similarity. Depending on how we define similarity the percentages vary wildly. Can we find millions of similar regions in the fruitfly as in the human? Yes. Are those region

diffing is not the right approach, it can't detect smaller blocks moving about. since the genome is made out of only A,T,G,C for any change beyond the trivial diffing may generate the incorrect picture, it lines up the "wrong"

While anecdata can be useful in general, in this particular case I have a hard time believing that the case you describe: working in a worse job than your home country, is informative or representative. There is a wisdom of crowds at work,
