Have you thought about may be you don't understand pointers and just think you do ? May be you should not start teaching and explaining about pointers before you understand it well. If you can't pin-point why your students don't understand and just say they won't understand at all (may be weak math background or something else), then I'm sorry you lack the knowledge to teach or use pointers.

Zuckerberg: Yes, there are two options. First to deactivate because students and want to suspend and come back because they want to study for exam. Second option is users can totally delete all their data.

Where is the second option anyone from Facebook ? There is only an option to delete the account after you DIE, not an option to delete it when you are alive.

So many lies.

How come accounts.google.com more severe than others for XSS ?

Edit: It's ironic how the so called cutting-edge tech companies can't afford a keyboard, mouse, laptop and a projector which would make things way better. I even had a case where the interviewer changed the question with 5 min. to spare , I explained the solution he said it would work and then told me to write it. I was just erasing and pointing arrows because I did not have space etc. So easy to forget that while typing you just hit enter and get a new line. Draw on white board, write on computer; that's how it should be.

This was posted over a year ago. I wonder how many they hired.

Also, the hypocrisy in using very logical questions to hire people but not sticking to similar logic in the product line is laughable.

You work on system design, databases, high availability and making sure large clusters don't fall and are able to talk to each other. None of the above require "algorithms". Also, it's hilarious how every company are asking the Google and FB questions now. And, you rarely get a SQL or database questions. I've had to work with colleagues who think they know everything just because they answer the algorithm question and can't do a simple "group by".

A two-liner is sometimes more efficient and readable than a one-liner.

On the contrary, I would love to work with the person. People are often scared in pointing out black and white. Those who do are brave and often win. If one can do neat and clever stuff with JS/Ajax with less code without using boilerplate .js frameworks, what's wrong with it ?

Is there something wrong that the client browser is connecting directly to the database, so JS -> MySQL direct connection won't expose credentials ?

Does your Dell machine has exactly the same data files as the aws instance ? As the size grows index grows as well. Also you have not mentioned how many mongo instances in the cluster. One easy way is, you could separate the index and data directories into separate volumes, think this is only possible in wired tiger though.

I'm not sure about your pay structure, but if you are a CTO you definitely have power to change things. I think you should do that. If computing is what you love there is no better place than to be a CTO. You may review code, even write some modules and dictate how things should be done. And you should do it so that the system is stable with less fire. If you are not capable of doing so, you should hire someone who is capable of doing just that.

Email me if you want to talk privately.

I've done this before and am in a similar phase but working on my own startup. Having free time would allow you to think about many things, relax a bit in this stressful life and relearn algorithms and work on side projects. You will be more focused and determined to pass the interview, it's like the final exam that you cannot fail.

Bear in mind it may take 1-2 month to get the job, however you may even hit the big four after preparing well. As for many people who say recruiter ignore applicants without job, I would say ignore them! Or you could approach recruiters/founders via linkedin which can be far more effective.

Wow!!! Why is it a "why" question. A bit greedy to keep working if you already have 60k per month coming in your checking account. Why would anyone want be a slave ? I just have few grand in bank, 0 income and I recently quit my job to travel around until I run out of money.
