Perhaps, yeah. Likewise there will be people who've never heard of Big-O notation, and when asked to explain the efficiency of their algorithm and justify why it's optimal they won't be able to, even though they're maste

IMO there's not much difference. Like you aren't going to figure out how to do dynamic programming from first principles, or re-invent the Floyd-Warshall algorithm during a 45 minute interview. Or even come up with the idea of tre

I think the idea with that is not that it's hard, but that you know it. You won't get a product person telling you to implement a DB in 3NF - so it doesn't matter how quickly you'd learn via Google, as you wouldn't

Usually then comes down to the issue of the company seeing a senior dev as someone with 10-15 years experience, but offering pay that would suit a senior dev of 3-5 years experience.

In my experience, the worst CS grads are worse than the worst bootcamp grads, but the best CS grads are better than the best bootcamp grads. Bootcamps self-select for people who actually tend to have some interest, and force them to learn t

For many people it has - defining yourself by your quirks, or disabilities, or unique sexuality, or whatever else has become celebrated in many circles. Things that at one time might have been considered private or taboo are now used to dif

Perhaps, but what would you propose? Do we take the approach we take with opiates, and ban companies from allowing users to upload images? Or do we take the approach we take with nicotine, and force companies to disclose the possible harms

In all the squat videos I've watched, knees go forward almost to the maximum that the ankles can sustain. For example, Jeff Nippard's tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bEv6CCg2BC8

You need to do load testing to determine this - a request's time includes many delays that are not related to the work the server does, and thus it's not as simple as 1/0.03 - it's possible that 0.0001 second of that tim

Absolutely, and the gap is so deceptive - it doesn't look like there's that much of a gap when you watch the pros. Like I watch pro badminton players, and compared to the best guys at my club who've trained for 10+ years it

You can still step through functional code an examine local variables, you just have the assurance that the values of any local state are purely dependent on the inputs to the function and not any other external state. So it's ultimate

The one issue with B&H is that if something isn't in stock, their estimates are nowhere near accurate. Currently been waiting 2 months for an item that was being stocked in "7-10" days. But if it's in stock they&#x27

16-35 is pretty common for pros too. It's a very versatile lens - has VR so it's good for run and gun shooting at events, takes screw on filters so it's good for when you need to get fancy but don't want to lug around a

Would you be willing to talk a bit more on how you get into that kind of conversation? I feel like bridging the gap between the necessary discussion of "Can you deposit this cheque please? Thanks." to the personal discussion of &q

The trouble I have is that you have to start with a certain selfishness of wanting to improve your social skills even if it makes other people's days worse. Like I'm not the most charismatic guy, and I know that if I try to make a

It's just pointing out "yeah, if you're worried that I'll keep doing this, then feel free to just let me resign - but if you want me to stay, you'll have to live with the risk that I'll do this again". It&

Never heard it called the green book, usually just called by the acronym CTCI (Cracking The Coding Interview). Just commenting in case anyone else was confused. Congrats on getting a good payoff on your work, and thanks for sharing the info

I think most people still see Hackernews as a website for people in the software industry, where IC is common knowledge. Plus comments aren't written to educate or sell a subscription, rather they're to ask a question, continue a

At one point I might have agreed with you, but after working on a few sites of my own I found that Javascript just enables a vastly better user experience. No need to refresh the page every time the user does something like liking a post or

Stunning birds, some of the guys in the photography forums I'm on go down and spend days shooting the sandhill crane migrations, and the photos they come away with are breathtaking. Would love to make it down there one of these years.

What I've found is that people who aren't being respectful are rarely the kind of people to curb their behaviour after a nice chat. I had a neighbour that would incessantly play loud music (in a building where noise was prohibited

While I'd usually agree, I'd say Wikipedia has a great opportunity to target ads without predatory data harvesting - they can simply be put on relevant pages. Maybe not as effective as user-level targeting, but probably still some

I don't know, I think it's worth trying to at least understand where the challenge lies. Maybe it is some linear progression where every person starts out with the same motivation to be a developer, and faces increasingly more hur

I think there's maybe a bit too much vested in the term "irrelevant" and the context around this. I suspect the OP meant the conditional to read something like: IF shelter is unaffordable THEN smartphones being cheap is i

I think what they mean is that if you can't afford shelter, it's little comfort to be able to afford a phone. Yes, the phone may be a tool that can help you find shelter, and it may help with coping with your situation and finding

While it is wasteful, I think the readability gain is far from nebulous. If you look at newspapers, they break pages up into columns. If books exceed a certain width, they get broken down into columns. Journals often break their articles in

I suppose some people might be surprised that it can be done so easily in Ruby, or seeing that it's a short example gives a reason to check it out rather than if they'd assumed it was a much larger codebase they wouldn't have

Eh, who says it needs to be hard? As long as it solves a problem, it seems useful to me. And there may be people out there who aren't super familiar with Ruby or forward proxies who can learn a lot from this implementation. Which isn&#
