I didn't love it, but if you want a book about system design interviews this is probably your number one choice. Personally I think you'd be fine just with reading article like Martin Fowler's or if you work with Microsoft th

I was forced to go to the new UI, everything looked too big on my desktop monitor. There was an option in the settings to revert to classic so I picked that. Back to normal. No incentive for me to change it.

That's how I felt about "thinking fast and slow" but it may be that I didn't grok it's meaning, or that I'd already been exposed to some of it's contents.

Pretty sure it was a kayak. People in the UK are very confused by the difference. E.g. British Canoe Union largely supports kayaking. I tend to use the terms interchangeably having been an active kayaker for around 25 years. The British pub

Depends what you mean by "knowing" C# and JavaScript. I also know C# and JavaScript, I'm definitely not an expert in either or even an intermediate (probably). I also know C, Java, Ruby, Python, HTML, CSS, Databases, networki

Don't worry, I already know about Chuckie Egg. I've lapped it a few times, BBC possible the best version? I never really got into Thrust but will give it another go. Thanks

Frak worked first time, haven't seen that in a while. Very nice. There are loads of good text adventures on BBC and of course Elite but has anyone else got any good recommends?

Last time I took Larium was near the White Nile in Uganda for 3 weeks. The beer there is pretty strong and people stay up late! During the trip I did feel pretty lethargic, but it was very hot and I was very active so I didn't blame th

I've had Lariam once or twice as Malarone used to be really expensive in the UK (10$ vs 150$ ish) and I don't think I had any of the famous side effects. It can be hard to tell when you're in a radically different country, ve

I agree that you'd probably want to reduce the number of tasks. 5-6 would be fine. As someone who does a bit of JS as well as maybe 10-20 other skills I'd be happy doing most of these, but I would need to be able to look up the sy
