I've never seen it done that way -- just used as a pre-screen for an onsite that is the typical code-on-a-whiteboard scenario. Had one place that used an at home test + a one hour task in the office on a laptop they provided + several

It's also reasonably accessible to suburbanites and has parking.

Doesn't sound that easy to me. You'd need an efficient way to forget all those memoized values on each program edit, and every byte of program storage counted when memory size was a whopping 4K.

I think society was a little different then. People had a shot at changing their life and switching to legitimate work. That's not really possible any more; once you have a felony arrest, you've got a black mark against you. Low

The point is the criminal organizations aren't going to simply disappear if/when drugs are legalized. They're going to pivot to some other illegal activity to preserve their livelihood. Perhaps more conventional crimes like

Protection, extortion, gambling, human trafficking, other contraband goods, and sure, burglary and robbery. Lots of things that could be more violent to the population at large then drug dealing (after all, you don't really want to kil

You need a reasonable financial buffer (or at least good credit) to be a homeowner to cover the large expenses that invariably come up. If you're not handy and need to call professionals for every minor repair--well, though service ca

Because many people don't want the responsibilities of home ownership, or to be exposed to the risk. Also makes relocation a lot more complicated. There's no particular guarantee that land value will continue to increase either,

Who would you suggest should own the property instead of landlords? Should all housing be state owned instead? Without bail outs we have the potential to see many more properties bought by the largest companies, who are often far harsher o

I find this is a strong reason to build test cases as early as possible in the dev process. I find myself removing 'nice to have, but not strictly necessary' options all the time when I realize they'll double or worse the nu

I don't think you can buy a complete Morgan in the US except for the 3 wheeler, which sneaks in as a motorcycle.

Sure, but that adds a lot of CPU load server side (and cloud CPU is still fairly expensive), adds latency for the extra buffering, decoding, and re-encoding, and limits the display options available client-side.

The server is receiving 1 stream per participant, and forwarding that stream to all other participants. So for say 10 participants, that's 10 inbound and 90 outbound. If you switched to p2p instead, then each participant would need to

If you allow it, then it could also be seen as a tacit acknowledgement that n95 masks are really the proper equipment. Logical, in a terrible way.

A properly built road should last much longer than that. My street in a small town in MA hasn't been paved in over 10 years and is still fine. (The town does periodically seal cracks but that's a pretty cheap maintenance item.)

As an outsider, it seems like regulation led them (or the airlines really) down a path of avoiding retraining at all costs, while it seems plausible that some sort of cost effective retraining for a plane that still was substantially simila

Years back Micro Center was a bit pricy, but they really stepped up their game to be competitive with online. I'll still price compare, but if they're within a few percent (and if there are any ongoing specials they can be cheape

It's not common at all. The Q50 had it for a while then reverted, and still had a manual link for backup. Beyond that, just some prototypes.

They are that cheap... e.g. Microcenter has models in the $15-$25 range. They're pretty much at the too cheap to not work level as they can't afford to develop complex, bloated features at that price point.

Driving in Mountain View just isn't that representative of a lot of the US, much less of the world. You'll never have training data that covers every scenario as we're constantly creating new ones -- from spray painted tempo

It's 2.5 miles each way, pretty walkable if weather is ok. Probably not even uphill each way. :-)

-5C isn't particularly cold. Would you have been out in -20C with gusty winds and drifting snow? How do I get those appropriate clothes to the office, and where do I store them? Can't be all wrinkled -- and these days you may not

It's certainly a hell of a lot easier to not have to think about where to find your favorites. And once it's downloaded there are (almost) never any playback issues.

Exactly this. Didn't even realize I did this until I spent 5 minutes trying to log in to my new MacBook while the user name/password fields kept resetting -- I was accidentally brushing the escape button.

Latency for Cable TV is 3-4 seconds. That is possible to match, or at least be close to, with chunked delivery using CDNs. Most "live" internet is definitely delivered via CDNs, you just tend to be 20s behind real-time because it

To me, it has always seemed like face-to-face is very useful to get to know people and get the process started, but after that, following up via messaging and video conferencing is fine. But a similar timezone remains pretty important.
