I'm in a similar situation to the OP. For me personally it's really difficult to "think my way out" of these sorts of problems. First they're large intertwined problems, second they're existential in nature, an

A temporary cessation? That just means people go back to cigarettes. Moving from cigarettes to vaping isn't easy.

Similarly try running when you're a smoker vs a vaper. I'd say vaping is a very good harm reduction path for smokers that hopefully leads to quitting altogether. It is definitely not harm free though. I just hope our society and l

Yeah, I ordered a drywall trowel from Amazon a while ago and it came in a plastic bag. Someone, somewhere dropped it and it bent the corner. I looked at returning it and the process seemed convoluted at best, so I just hammered out the corn

Honestly at this point in my career I'd have to spend some time remembering how to use recursion properly. I'm also in the embedded realm where I've encountered C compilers that will throw an error if you try to use recursion

I mean when I went to university we absolutely went over the electronics side of things. Certainly not to the same depth as an electrical engineer would have, but it was covered.

A grocery store already manipulates consumers though, e.g. they put the milk at the very back so you have to walk through the store which increases the chances you'll buy something else.

It was for Amazon. I will say I had 4 or 5 other interviews at Amazon that day and most of them weren't nearly as good, one was actually atrociously bad. They may have changed their interview process at this point though, I only interv

I've had a very similar idea to this as well. It all stemmed from one particular interview I had years ago. The interviewer presented me with a very simple problem, I solved it. He then stepped up the difficulty a bit. This kept happen

This reply applies to several here. I know a few architects (as in for buildings and civil structures) who wouldn't be able to pour a foundation, frame a wall, or run plumbing properly. They're working at a different level of abst

As someone who did study both math and CS at university I disagree. I think there are numerous courses that can more easily be self-taught[1], mostly what one would encounter in their first ~2 years in a math degree. After that things get c

It seems as though our profession has such a low barrier to entry, especially with open source, that a lot of tooling is seen as having no associated cost. To draw an admittedly flawed comparison I work at a contract engineering and manufac

That already kind of happened. A couple former SolidWorks CEOs started OnShape which is a CAD webapp. It's not as mature as SolidWorks which has been around for 20+ years of course, but it's a very capable CAD application.

I'm guessing the argument is that if the cost that the customer bears for such regulated audits is greater than the refund they get from it then the customer actually lost money.
