   You see every other smoker do it and you think, what’s the point? and you just throw it away. I can’t carry it in my pocket. If trashcan is in visible sight, I’m ok with walking little bit to get rid of it. But usually it’s the case that t

    You can try TDD-ing the problem. Although TDD is usually not the right approach for coming up with algorithms or solving coding challenges, it can guide your thinking a bit. Write a test for most simple input, solve the problem for this inp

    I guess I'm missing something here but I'm failing to understand why would anyone want to set up work environment using their phone? As I understand you would also need a monitor, keyboard and a mouse? Isn't it easier to just

    I'm not against your view, but is the water actually 'wasted'? I think the water you used for rinsing the dishes is recycled in the water cleaning facility. I might be wrong of course, but this water has to go somewhere.

    Probably that's why soccer is not popular in US. You can't interrupt soccer game for an ad. That's not the case with NFL, where you see an ad every time players stop playing.

    I'm using Intellij now, but used to work with Eclipse. And one thing that I miss is quickly starting tests. In Eclipse it feels like tests start without compilation and I get instant feedback. With IDEA you have to wait a second or two
