You may have missed the "multi threaded vs single threaded" section where they talk about a very similar pattern: "The way it works is simple, it uses blocking IO, but each blocking call is made in its own thread. Now dependi

I had written a program a while back that needed to load all of the customers outgoing emails from multiple large .pst files. I got a pretty big performance gain using a thread pool to do the io for all the files concurrently and block unt

When you spend 5 hours on an assignment alone, stressed because you need a job & your time is short, only to not get a response after several email follow ups, you will see the logic. I wouldnt do this for the same reason i worked at a

Imagine the following scenario: One of his discs is corrupted and causes serious issues for the customer. That customer is so put off from the experience that they vow to never buy dell again. For dell to take that risk is fair. For this

Title is missleading: "His actual crime, which he pleaded guilty to, was counterfeiting the packaging to make the discs pass for Dell-branded ones." He misled his customers in order to make money. This isnt really different than s

I think it was 6 during my undergrad, 2 of which ended up in relationships, one of which lasted for 2 years. If i was just looking for a hookup it would have been more, but those % were based off people i thought i would honestly be compat

I used tinder in college and it worked pretty well for me (male). I would swipe right 100%, and get 3-10 matches per day. Out of all of the matches, maybe 5% would message me. That would be the first time i even looked at the profile, an

As a seller this is a good service, reviews really do matter. As a customer these types of services make reviews unreliable. Only targeting happy customers drives up your rating with no positive change to the product itself. Its also a ve

I gave a resume to IBM at a career fair. They made me do coding problems on the spot right there. Given an integer n, write a function to print ever digit backwards. It took me a minute to think about it, but i solved it, and evan ran it

I was once told not to change my source code purely to make my unit test pass. Changing the field to push the ratio towards 50 50 seems similar. I think the real question is: how do we get more females to want to learn to program.

Im honestly not sure how they prevent people from trolling. There might be a cancelation fee for repeat offenders. One uber driver told me that he estimates that uber takes half of the fare. I wish there was a platform for drivers to pay
