Am I being trolled? It feels more to me like you're the one that's doing the trolling, but maybe I'm just mis-reading your post. Disclaimer: I worked with the OP and she is a ferociously productive engineer. Dismissing newer technol

'but I tend to think that problems like "Pascal's Triangle" don't represent what we work on day-to-day' There are plenty of software jobs where that statement is absolutely true. I am not interviewing people for those jobs. Taking a well-de

To be fair, the "nickel in a blender" type of problems have been actively banned from engineering interview at Google for many years. That doesn't mean that there aren't a few holdouts that still use them, but there is an active effort to e

Thanks for the screenshot! Two quick follow-up questions: On that screenshot, it looks like it's the main profile picture and the profile picture thumbnails for the circles that are slow to load (but the images from the stream are loaded).

Sorry - I can't comment about any upcoming features or plans. Is there something specific you're looking for? I could pass it on to the product managers.

I'm on the G+ photos team. Do you have an example of a slow loading image? If you can send me a link I could take a look. Latency is definitely something we care about.

tee has a simple main loop: while not EOF: (synchrounously) read up to BUFSIZE bytes from stdin into buf for each output file: (synchrounously) write buf to file (source code here: http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/c

Except that if you read the problem statement, you'll see that tee doesn't meet the requirement of 'taking advantage of all available I/O parallelism'. Tee writes to each output file sequentially. Given that their core business is data-stor

Your scenario is highly unlikely. First of all, find my face is opt-in, so person 'C' and person 'D' would have had to explicitly opt-in for this to happen. Second you can control who can tag you in pictures - so person 'C' and person 'D' w

Yeah, 250K total comp (salary + bonuses + stock) is very believable. It's likely upper end of the scale for a 30 year-old, but completely believable.

The free snacks, drinks, food are most definitely NOT gone. Have there been some cut-backs? Sure. So now the perks are merely incredible instead of ridiculous-verging-on-embarassingly-good. So yeah, the micro-kitchens now have ~75 types of
