I've often wondered whether this industry is similar to Hollywood with its ageism. Once you get in, there are often many roles available. But at some point, you need to start creating roles for yourself (if you can).

I don't like this question for an interview. But I have also seen and received questions with a larger scope that require working together, asking questions, etc.

You could implement GC in C++ using RAII (although smart pointers get you a long way). AFAIK, automatic GC is not possible with C.

The first passage describes toughness of spirit which is honed by adversity rather than prosperity. Now that we have the relative safety (status quo) and money, our toughness has given way to complacency.

My point is that there is probably a bump going in and a hit falling out. This wikipedia article ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_S%26P_500_companies ) shows the additions and removals. I am curious about the di

The thought is that with index funds, you're invested in enough of the market that you don't have to pick winners and losers and you get rebalanced as well. It would be interesting to study the market cap effect of going from #501

Is any of this street legal in the US (presumably as a low speed vehicle)? Has anyone researched this? From a cursory look, you can drive low speed vehicles on streets with low speed limits unless prohibited by the local municipality.

I've enjoyed reading a lot of Peter Norvig's python code. There is his Lisp implemention ( http://norvig.com/lispy.html ). He also created a spell checker that was an informative and interesting read.

This is notoriously hard to do, if not impossible. Every home project is unique, where unknown and unforeseen issues arise all the time. Plus, like many service companies, they have turnover and a growth arc which makes them a moving targ

If Uber and Lyft cause the downfall of the taxicab industry, it would probably hurt some people without access to technology or in less serviced areas. But, somehow I think taxi services would rebound if Uber or Lyft started abusing their

Probably obvious, but they would not want to send a private key which could be used to help other victims. If they generated a symmetric key locally and encrypted it with their provided public key, they could decrypt the symmetric key for

I can't remember the last time I talked with a fast food employee that I thought was incompetent. Most of the time, I'm shocked at how capable they are given how little they are probably making.

I have worked with many brilliant people that didn't have motivation. And if they did, their energy wasn't directed towards the task at hand. Then, you need an environment that doesn't get in their way.

This may be true. But, if they switch from adding color commentary to being solely color commentary, will people still tune in? I get the sense that people tune in to have their opinions validated. ESPN analysis opinions matter because

That's really not true. It takes a little discipline to ensure your constructor will succeed prior to calling it, but it's worth it. You generally want to make your destructor noexcept, so you get free implicit move optimization
