Seems like an old interest. I will ask an older friend when he first learned of it. He said it was in college in the 70's. It was taught as a method for having a doubly linked list, but only use the space for one link. He thinks it w

Do you mean when you have 2 items that generate the same hash? Yes, hashes are not unique. If they were unique then they would be a great way to compress.

Good form, is for the recruiter to tell you before they submit, so you can de conflict. Specifically tell them you are working with more than one recruiter, and need to avoid problems. Between a recruiter and me submitting, I prefer the re

For legal reasons, if a company receives a resume for a given person from 2 sources, it tosses them all and marks you as a no hire. When 2 recruiters sends in your info, the company does not know whom to compensate. They have been sued for

Agreed. I see the request for social media, as a method to determine if you will fit in. If the group you are going to is extreme in some way, it would be a blessing to avoid them. e.g. if they all play tennis and they have their own tenn

Basics, these should be obvious, but ... 1) anyone who will work with the person should be a part of the interview process. 2) everyone in the interview process must have a copy of the candidates resume 3) everyone in the interview process

A company I worked at 8 years ago, stopped tracking monitors as an asset. It was felt the cost of tracking exceeded the value. I assume because no one ever bothered to steal one. If the total market price is $1000, I would assume they got

When manufacturing was made redundant, how did you treat those workers? Smart money gets a resume together and finds another job now, while the IT economy is hot. What can your company do to convince people to stay? Hire more (more than 3

If you want to work where your passion for the product is not important, I recommend being a contractor. I have never seen a company expect the contractors to care. They are supposed ti care about the company they work for, not whom they

I so agree with this. It applies to MANY businesses. If they pay overtime, IMHO, then the company seems to not care as much.

There are also 3rd party companies that are similar to PO Boxes, they scan the outside of the mail. Then you can tell them if they should open it and scan the insides. This can be useful if you plan to move as a PO Box you need to visit.

Going full old school, your mailing address. I am a little confused by the need for 'foolproof'. Do you mean they cannot type it in wrong? Or they might send you junk mail? Or are you worried the email will address will be aban

When I care, at home, I use a VPN (Private Internet Access), and I also use BRAVE browser. At work we use a tool call SILO. It enables fully anonymous browsing. It is like a VPN but it runs a virtual computer somewhere else, and sends you

Death is a shock to the system, even if it is expected. My mother slowly passed, and her last 6 weeks it was obvious. Now is too soon to think of 'How do I cope' It is a day to day thing. The funeral will bring it all up again.

I agree, help others avoid the pain. I found this one company that had a job that read very close to my resume. Before applying I checked glassdoor. Everyone loved the company, everyone except those in IT. Most of the IT reviews were ab

I worked one jib where the titles were odd. I was a 'Senior member of Technical Staff' Reality was I was a SW team leader / project manager. The job labels on your resume are to frame out what you say you did at the job.

So I had to look up what 'invert a binary tree' meant. I was thinking make the leaves roots and the root a leaf, which made no sense. So flipping the left and right, no I have never had to do that. I have had to write algorithms

I have done it twice. The first time I spent about 3 months riding my bicycle around the US. Then spent a few months looking for a job. It was not a good market. The second time I spent 7 months in New Zealand and Australia. Half the t

US government, (might apply to others). They do so much paperwork and analysis to ensure no nickel is misspent. The cost to protect a nickel seems to be about a dollar.

I think it is a multi dimensional problem. You have programmers who are insightful, and those that need insight provided. You have fast and slow. Ones who document their design and code, and those I have a name I do not use in polite com

THEY are being unreasonable. It would warn me off that they are so flippant. For all you know they have a branch in Alaska working on the exact same thing! Yours is theirs now! Really sounds like a lot of risk.

I always recommend either assembly, as it is the root of everything. Kind of like learning to build your own computer. After that even micro code. Or I am a fan of LISP as it is a completely different way of thinking.

In most cases I would agree. But that is just my opinion. It gets down to the numbers. How much immunity is given by a given vaccine, verses how possible is it to be re infected with the disease naturally. For myself, I do not expect the

With only 4 digits, 10,000 possible choices, it would take a computer a short time to determine your pin, assuming they knew the salt. If they did not know the salt, I assume it would be slightly longer depending on how big the salt was. I

If you really want to be educated, I recommend visiting morningstar. They cover 9 basic sectors of growth, value, mixed in a matrix with small, medium, and large. This is for Mutual funds, which correlate to some ETFs.

Agreed, that is the simple and low stress method. Of course a key part is, when do you think you will need the money? <5 years bonds or similar, >10 years S&P 500, between 5 & 10 .... well its not so easy ...
