Sort of off topic: In theory hash tables are supposed to be O(1) (under the RAM model). But looking at these graphs, they seem to grow linearly after they stop fitting in the cache which is especially apparent on the unsuccessful lookup gra

I am asking for something more general than GDPR. And I guess the worst case isn't what I am looking for either (since that would just be "fullest extent of the law"). I am trying to see what people would actually litigate ov

"Fat days" end for individual companies too. Google had much better perks/food in the early days. Same goes for many profitable startups (like Dropbox) who cut their lavish spendings once they realize they need to go public:

It's insane that a mere ToS violation (not even anything criminal or large scale) on a different Google product got not only his account banned, but all related accounts across all Google products banned also. It makes me really worry

In python you often need sys.setrecursionlimit for the recursive solutions since the default is really small. I found out the hard way in a recent Google CodeJam problem[1] that even that wasn't enough and sometimes you really do need

The mathematical part was not obvious to me, so: The derivative with respect to a is: b(a^(b-1)). The derivative with respect to b is: log(a)(a^b) or (a log(a))(a^(b-1)). So it's better to increase b when alog(a) > b. Which is typic

I use the 2nd point a lot for debugging 3d transforms. To expand upon it, for example in three dimensions the three axes are: (1, 0, 0) (0, 1, 0) (0, 0, 1) To find out where those axes are after a 3x3 matrix transform, you just read off the

Recall when you first learned how to program. Something as trivial as iterating through a list requires some thought. What is the syntax for a "for" loop? Do you start with i = 0 or i = 1? Should you end at i < n or i <= n?
