Exactly this. As someone that’s served as an oncall engineer for years now, the skills you need to operate a cluster are completely different from the things leetcode tests for.

There are thousands, and I’m not exaggerating, literally thousands of leetcode problems. A lot of them require you to make, what to me at least, is some non-obvious clever observation about the problem. Sure the problem is talking about a

I saw a video from people in the car. The screen allowed them to pick between 2 different destinations. It’s not like they could just punch in any old address.

Seems like the food producer would have a clear incentive to mark their products with sell by dates. If I’m making a food product for sale at retail and I can mark it “sell by” some date, consumers get confused and think it’s no good after

I read this many years ago. I do think for being written in 2003 it's interesting to read again now and see in the last 20 years what parts seem more or less plausible. I think the nice thing about science fiction is that even bad sci

This is the correct answer. News loves the term because it's eye catching and clearly not informative, that's why every article has to explain it.

The cops came by to arrest the criminal but luckily the criminal quickly thought of a brilliant scheme. “I didn’t commit the crime and, in fact, I hold myself to a higher standard than the law requires.” Crestfallen the police walk away. “

I also wanted to say that I appreciate your original reply and your civility. Sadly a rare thing these days.

Thanks for the thoughts they are also interesting. Sorry I saw your comment after I wrote this reply to someone else, I’d be interested to hear your take on this hypothetical situation too if you don’t mind. https://news.ycombi

I wonder though does it have to be limited. Like imagine I could make enough apples to fully satisfy the market demand for apples and I’m also willing to sell to anyone. I want to sell those apples for $1 each. There’s plenty of apples to

Well just to be clear, I didn’t say central planning would solve this problem. A careful reading of my post would show a distinct lack of the term “central planning” You can be interested in market failures without proposing an alternative

It's interesting how the real problem here is that our economic system has no way to sell a product at what the seller will bear, only what the buyer will bear. I think this is a fascinating feature, a lot of artists would be more than

I think this is Apple's not-so-secret weapon. Apple is just more willing to invest into a product line and build it out for a longer time before throwing in the towel. I saw this really fascinating video from NeXT computers the other d
