Laughed at this I did.

At the expense of increasing the complexity to read code.

The best part of the article is in the first paragraph, "...Microsoft employees shared their salaries, bonuses, and stock awards in a Google spreadsheet..."

You seem to be suggesting that if the correct candidate is elected in November these problems will be fixed, that couldn't be further from reality. These problems have been here for decades. In fact, if we put forth that the candidate that has been voting on bills and by extension existing laws for the longest period of time is more to blame for the current state of affairs then you have no choice but to conclude that voting for that candidate will not change much.

That's right, hedge funds have a fiduciary duty to their investors.

I still use old.reddit.com. new reddit is sooooooooo slow

Why is this being patented, it should be public domain.

They likely mean that there will always be a project called "PyPy" that will be free software but they will move to an open core model and introduce "PyPyPro" where are the cutting edge development will take place, PyPy may or may not be crippled.

algorithms and data structures, prepare for interviews at larger companies that follow more traditional CS interview practices.

I don't think the ship purchases are scammy. If I tell you we have little plastic ships for sale, you buy a little plastic ship and you actually receive a little plastic ship, all parties have performed as agreed, that is not a scam.

I wonder if this type information can be used by the vm to improve performance?

I don't imagine they have raw sql access but you probably have an API that takes a name or social or other identifier and returns relevant results. This access may have been granted to an account that is not described as "FBI" it's probably another sub-contractor or analytics provider.

They are trying to gatekeep.

Whew, My first thought was import the thing to database, use database engine to sort.

I find this post accurate. Please also keep in mind that interviewing is as much about deciding if the company is right for you as it is if you are right for the company. When I take a bit too long to solve the coding challenge and the interviewer puts on an attitude I just assume that this is what it would be like working with this person, no thanks.

I recently interviewed with a hot VC funded start-up, the interviewer was the most dry and passive aggressive person I have ever met, I decided about 5 minutes into the 'get to know you, tell me about your work history' section of the conversation that I would not like working for this person. I had never wanted to end an interview early before this experience. When they sent me a leetcode link (to a problem I had solved in preparation for a series of interviews I was doing) and asked me to solve the problem I just sat there wondering how long before they would ask me to leave if I typed nothing. About 5 minutes later they asked me to leave, and that was the first time during the entire interview that the interviewer cracked a smile. I think that company will fail.

Am I the a-hole for playing that sort of game?

Edit: I also interviewed with a medical startup during which the interviewer, while telling me it took me a while to get to the solution and critiquing my implementation, admitted (I think by mistake) that they had spent some time researching the solution prior to the interview. I asked them how long it took them to solve, he did not answer that question.

Think they were implying that the security and happiness are not guaranteed by money, sometimes it's the opposite. I don't think you made a charitable interpretation of their statements.

That is great, but don't forget that organized dogmatic religions is where many of those lessons started. I'm happy that some of the core positive tenants of religions (that have historically fueled some of humanities worst atrocities) have migrated to being simply accepted as part of humanity and not always tied back to religion.

Most of us just want to enjoy life. For the vast majority of Americans this does not involve becoming rich, enjoyment comes from family and the time we spend together, it's not about fancy degrees and nice material things. There will always be an ebb and flow of opportunity, sometimes there is enough opportunity that a larger than average number of American families earn large disposable incomes, those are great times. Just remember that we are still very religious and are brought up from a young age to be happy with what you have, not upset about what you don't have.
