I don't think it's just mis-reading. It's also internal politics. How many at Nokia knew that the Maemo/MeeGo series was the future, rather than Symbian? I think quite a few. But Symbian execs fought to make sure Maemo d

API usage of Flash 2.0 is free, at least till you hit a very generous bound. It's not simply a trial period. You don't even need to register any payment details to get an API key. This might be a reason for its popularity. AFAIK o

If you use an old web browser, lots of sites are already not usable because Cloudfare's CAPTCHA will deny you entry. New but non-standard niche browsers are also problematic.

Some neobanks are limited to mobile-only. The OP's statement was too general. It's also true that some regular banks are phasing out 2FA via SMS, which is outdated per EU regulations, and may not easily offer alternatives to their

DeepMind and top firms from the City of London have recruiters chasing Oxbridge students in CS, Math, and Statistics before graduation, sometimes even a year or two ahead. You hear more about MIT or Stanford because you are based in the US.

I think this statement is a bit of an exaggeration. There is undoubtedly some competition from US, but Oxbridge still attract a lot of the top talent. This is reflected in quantitative rankings like ARWU, where Cambridge and Oxford are alwa

I somehow agree with this statement too. Although I don't dislike current GNOME, I think Mer Linux (SailfishOS and Nemo) as well as its predecesors (MeeGo and Maemo) are much more pleasant to use on a small screen. The others don'

I think it's a compromise. Personally, I believe something like Firejail or bwrap can make your system much more secure while introducing minimal inconveniences. Other things to consider are a userspace firewall and securing Xorg, wh

True. Sony is a conglomerate, which explains their business strategy. Lots of divisions and groups operate independently and have little coordination.

SailfishOS is quite efficient. On Sony devices, I experienced maybe 15% extra battery life compared to stock Android, which is quite good given that Sony ROMs are excellent. Sony is known for their Sony Open Devices Program.

SailfishOS is quite polished, and there's an Android emulation API. Lots of common applications, including many banking ones, run without a problem. It's a chicken-egg issue. The last 10% of polish won't be done till a critic

You'd need a fancy encoding for SAT to use a small DPLL implementation. Otherwise, customize DPLL for this particular problem.

Also the default keybindings used by Emacs to do basic text operations are available in many places thanks to GNU Readline and Cocoa, which makes the experience more pleasant.

FWIW, the OP's problem is not linear. It's an integer programming problem. A trick if you can't do a custom algorithm and using a library is not allowed during interview could be to be ready to roll your own DPLL-based solver
