I was about to ask who edits code on a mobile device, then I remembered a brilliant young coworker of mine who, as far as I could tell, coded exclusively on his iPad when he joined the company. I guess it goes to show you the huge variance

Not an official one. http://hnstream.com/ has a simple API and seems to work decently well, but it doesn't have the (sort of) nice interface that reddit-stream.com has.

As much as this seems great on its face, I find for myself that I can't consistently work 10 hours in a day without my productivity dropping off. Sometimes, when I'm making good progress, I'll go 10 to 12 hours, but that&#x2

* Working out solutions free from the technicalities of the compiler and framework is a great technique, and one that I use often. Again, this is great for those who already know how to code , but if those technicalities still trip you up

While I find value in writing things I don't ever intend to publish, that's a different sort of writing. For me, at least, a post written without intent to publish will be very different from a post written with intent to publish

To me, "nested list structure" means list-of-lists, which implies a certain natural tree representation, where all elements in a list are siblings. But maybe I've just been poisoned by Lisp, which tries to use lists as the el

Generally, "flatten" means the first of those two orders, but I see that the problem as given doesn't disambiguate those. If an interviewer wants to only accept one of those, he should clarify. Incidentally, the first of tho

Aren't list-of-lists more like trees where values are only stored on the leaves? In this case, aren't {pre,in,post}order all the same?

I think the argument there is that their incentives line up with yours. For someone else to get your data, they'd have to get hacked. Most companies just give that data to the highest bidder. Of course, that business model means that t

Sounds interesting! Sounds like you've hand-rolled this, have you published anything about your system? I'm sure the details would be fascinating.

Thank you. Your translation of "Как вы на это смотрите" makes sense and feels natural. However, the given translation "how did you see that" doesn't seem to match. Would "как вы видил ето" work for that

Sounds like a fascinating idea, but I suspect a video will be unmanageably large. However, a relatively low resolution time-lapse would probably be sufficient.

I really like the format and premise. It doesn't seem, however, to be sufficiently flexible in the various ways to fill in the blank (at least in Russian). For example, when given the sentence Как вы на это ___ with the trans

This is a great list. The one that I see people ignore the most is the fact that spinning disk access is 20x the cost of a datacenter roundtrip. If you need low-latency persistence, something like Apache Kafka is a much better solution th
