I'd disagree. Python abstracts a little too much away, and it's much easier to figure out loop ranges, invariants etc in an algorithm from say Java code. Python works well when you have to convey your algorithm in a nice succinct

"Some people can pack away thousands of calories a day and be fine" They are almost certainly not packing thousands of calories a day, everyday. Most of these people who you see eating a lot occasionally probably have very control

Not really. It's very easy to get bloat if you integrate ad-networks, analytics tools, social media tools etc. willy-nilly without looking at all the resources they fetch. The lazy approach WILL lead to bloat. No news agency is running

By 'cannot' do you mean _can't afford to_ or _are not allowed to_? Because companies can file a green card application (I-140) for someone under the 'Employment Based' category.

It is definitely privilege. There are plenty of life situations where people would have to just suck it and take what comes their way. For example, when you are on a visa that only gives you a couple months to find a job or gtfo.

I've also had the annoyance of being 'interviewed' using this ProctorU method. They have this 'feature' where you are not allowed to navigate away from the webpage that has the test, and if you do, it 'blocks&#

The reason there are all these posts in the last few days is because AWS's conference re:Invent is going right now in Las Vegas, and a lot of these announcements are therefore being made right now.

That's probably not worse, but it's so incredibly petulant... I am not sure what it is about reddit that tends to attract such childish execs. First Yishan, now him.

You got it. Of course, we should obey these instructions for the greater good (of nature, of others etc.) but when you are with the kind who can barely watch out for their own safety and well-being, it's hard to convince them out of th

This reminds me of a related incident that happened in May 2016 when a bunch of people walked off the boardwalk at the Grand Prismatic Spring [1]. A lot of people have a very cavalier attitude about this stuff. They'll deliberately wal

In this case, I think it's fine. Chinese has a named number for 10000 (wàn/万), so they used that. Since English doesn't, they used 'thousands'. In either case, the idea is that the code would run on a large number o

What's the point of this needlessly incendiary tone? People can have opinions differing from yours while still doing 'deep work' of a nature that you'd find respectable. Jeez.

Hotel WiFi in fancy hotels has a much higher expectation of quality / service level than that in a small-ish motel or youth hostel. If the CEO of $BigCorp has to have a Skype call with the client, they won't want package drops an

I see a lot of general anger against H-1B visas, so hear me out. There are broadly two kinds of Indians who work in the US legally (I will come to the illegal part later) under H-1B visas. [1] The first is typically graduates from elite Ind
