Hmm but Norwegians have probably the highest standard of living in the world already. It's a super rich country with a generous welfare state.

I don't know how the housing market doesn't affect you - Stockholm is one of the most expensive real estate markets in the world. Much move expensive than most US cities.

It's a pretty interesting statistics. #1 USA, #2 Estonia, #3 Sweden, #4 Norway, #5 Ireland. I don't really know what these countries have in common.

Any experiments on how to help drug addicts is great. It's been obvious (in hard data) for decades that wagging our finger and throwing people in jail is not doing anything.

I think Google is seeing a positive signal on their hiring process because a) they get a high percentage of the best programmers applying there at some point in their lives, and b) they run de-facto IQ tests on the onsites to pick the cream

I haven't really used it for anything other than super simple things with a very tightly bound max input. Stack overflow and honestly many recursive algorithms are quite hard to parse in your head especially once you add some edge case

Same. Being so far out of school (10 years in the industry) I really struggle a ton with these interviews. It's really only 10% relevant to my day to day work. I think to get through a Google-level onsite I would probably have to pract

Kudos on being able to "reset"! That's probably the hardest part, fighting against the sunk cost of a snowballing probably wrong answer when you have such limited time.

Agreed, thats a disingenuous point. "It's not about getting the right answer but the way you think". I've never found that to be true. If you don't get to the right answer, you're gone. If they planned to ask t

This "holistic" platform is the one that'll end up costing 20M when the Lotus Notes thing would've worked fine

I mean that's not at all surprising in the games industry. Would you hire an engineer for a web-company who doesn't go to any websites?

They were like, damn turns out 99 years isn't eternity after all. Well - just add another 9 to this contract and we'll be good to go.

On iOS 11 just long press on the brightness control to get a flux-like feature

macOS and iOS also have Night Shift these days which is the same feature baked in.

Is Apple doing anything like that? Last I checked they are buying up some companies and sitting on their cash like a dragon.

I'm 99% sure this is just terminology lifted from games. Just means it runs at a constant fast rate.

But IntelliJ and Eclipse (depending on the language) run compilers to do code checking right? Certainly too many text editors don't work very well with large text files which is a bit funny.

They also just get moldy in "sterile-ish" environments like pots since there's nothing there to break them down. Works ok in the yard though.

Lebron James has to fix all the ills in American society? Hmm I wonder why this country can't get anything productive done...
