Just the normal human tendency, weak people taking stand against big guy, to prove their existance. There is no point arguing, nor do i believe google did something evil. They just did a silly mistake and are being bashed more than their sh

Difference table only works in case of arithmetico-geometric series or polynomial series. It fails in other sequences like fibonacci,prime etc. However if given a sequence I always try difference table first as there are high chances that i

So true ! Loved u'r violin example. Let me state my experience. I used to code in BASIC when I was in school, when shifting to C++ in college it was a pain in the ass. Later I learnt python by choice, although initially indentation stuff fr

I don't think first round had started yet. The round currently going on is qualification round which makes you eligible to participate in GCJ i.e. first round.

In contest like TopCoder I had seen people doing problems in 5 minutes flat. It depends on expertise and regularly solving algorithmic problems (i.e. being in touch). However 3 problems in 25 minutes is awesome !!

Why is GOOG always compared with MSFT ? They are way more innovative than MSFT IMHO. Atleast I love most of their products. Also they are into many other things like Google got the APPtitude competition, Google summer of code, Google CodeJa

Well sometimes my GF discusses her idea of future with me and it's like "we'll have a big bedroom and two parallel 30'' screen and we'll code day and night, we'll hack stuffs, we'll open startup together, our child will be a prodigy..we'll

The things taught in colleges as a part of course are mostly bullshit. If you want to judge a person potential as a coder you should rather ignore his CGP (Cumulative Grade Point) and look for the projects he had done. If he had done some O

I agree with you regarding the fact that Adobe should have done the transition sooner. They were way too reluctant and lazy to move away from Carbon. However this happens for almost all the major corps, 11-th houring and regular releases of

All of Adobe products are based on Carbon. Of course they had started working towards porting all of their products in Cocoa, but that'll happen in CS6 probably. The fundamental mistake Adobe made was to keep on developing their products up
