I worked at one, alongside others who like me had gone through their (in)famous process, and alongside others who had not (they came via acquisitions). There was no difference.

Sometimes people just need a job (especially in the US, where jobs are so coupled to health care). I've been in that position, and I'm very glad I'm not now.

Yes, I phrased my comment incorrectly; I had in mind identifying (all) the cycles, and that for a linked list they're the same thing. For a DAG it doesn't generalize because you can't find more cycles without storage to exclu

That could be interesting. I had a co-worker (at a different company, while on an open-source project) whom I highly respected because of his excellent code reviews. I think it would have to be done with an established build chain (e.g. for

Detecting a cycle in a directed graph is useful (in certain domains I've worked in), but doesn't have a cute trick answer. [Edit: I in mind ‘Detecting the cycles’ rather than ‘Detecting a cycle’ but wrote the wrong thing. Mea cu

Yes. I did this type of interview for a previous job, and don't want to do it again. I'm a software developer, not a salesman. Requiring salesmanship to enter a company may well correlate with requiring salesmanship to advance and

Weirdly, initializer indentation is controlled by `ContinuationIndentWidth` rather than by `IndentWidth`. That one I would agree is a clang-format bug, or a mistaken policy decision. I haven't myself worked on a tabbed code base during

I am not sure whether it applies to this case, but you might try turning on ‘Reduce motion’ under the Accessibility settings, which eliminates some animation delays.

The original intent was that “Undefined behavior gives the implementor license not to catch certain program errors that are difficult to diagnose.” If you wrote ‘a + b’, you could expect your hardware's add instruction, and if that hap

`5 - "2"` is 3, and `5 + "2"` is "52". Makes perfect sense! It could be worse, though; you could be doing Norwegian YAML.

C programmers are implicitly converted to the required type. Implicit conversions are one thing I don't like about C, or at least the way it ended up as int grew (maybe it would have been better if ANSI had picked unsigned-preserving,

I quite liked the i960 at the time. The later implementation, the i960CA, dropped all the capability features but was one of the first, if not the first, commercial microprocessor to offer superscalar execution. This required correct instru

I might argue that those who thought the problems with mutable-by-default multithreading could be solved with proper programmer discipline also didn't understand it.

At the time I worked for a small compiler company (primarily C and secondarily Fortran) that did a port for the i860, but decided not to polish and market it. It was a while ago, but my memory matches what jandrese (parent comment) says. It

Although I'm not personally a fan of web apps or Electron, the reality is that browsers are not just consumer consumption devices. And my reading of http://crbug.com/1178058 is that the existence of WebP and AVIF is

Text becomes hard to read when lines are much over 70 characters. I don't know that there's a universally preferred solution. Personally, I only use movie-shaped windows for movies, and page-shaped windows for everything else.
