Why is there so much complaining online about algorithmic questions? It’s really weird. Surely there are way worse questions that companies ask. Also, I stopped reading after his first argument which is incredibly…
It's much simpler to provide public services to everyone and handle economic inequality through taxation. Means-tested benefits result in bureaucracy that sometimes costs more than the increase in cost from giving the…
You want to attract candidates that have a high probability of being hired. If vJ is the perceived value of getting the job, pJ the perceived probability of getting the job, vI the value of the literal payment for going…
Usually they're trying to profit by being the last holdouts, hoping they will be able to get more money this way. It may not be worth paying everyone 3X, but if everyone except one person agreed to X, then paying the…

I think your case is a bit different because you don't actually want to live in the city. Obviously both city and country living have their advantages and disadvantages, and it would likely benefit most developed…
> Microsoft's UI story is a non-starter until they get back to the point that a user can: Why do you care about this stuff? I don't understand. Surely most developers can build a simple app with a few buttons easily in…
XAML is the only thing I was ever able to write a complex layout in, run the app, and see it look exactly as what I intended on the first attempt. That would meet my definition of productivity. For example, my…

I've probably spent ~1000 hours writing C++ in my life (admittedly, years ago) and objectively speaking I wouldn't hire myself even as a junior C++ dev.
This pretty much exactly matches my own experience (100+ interviews, not as a professional interviewer but as an engineer who does interviews).
I think that's the wrong question. If a court can decide (and enforce) what a smart contract "really means", then smart contracts don't really bring much to the table. It doesn't matter what the court would actually…

How is such a definition more useful? It's certainly not more useful to me. If someone tried to sell me such a quantity of land, the first thing I'd ask would be what the actual size is in standard units. A universal,…
The study also damns itself because they chose the absolute worst possible timing for their “research” and measuring wfh productivity. It’s like they don’t understand how much the pandemic changes everything.
If you see someone write "reed" instead of "read" or "rite" instead of "write", that's likely a native speaker.
I don't disagree, but not sure why you associate poor spelling with non-native speakers.
Yep it does! Had no idea.
This looks like a great service! Edit: crap, looks like it's US-only :/
The worst one is probably trying to make it hard for users to stop paying for a service, like cancelling a subscription. That shit should be punishable by literal prison time.
I agree that this practice should go away - if you believe that, then the goal should be to eliminate this shady practice entirely, not try to make it more prevalent like you were suggesting before editing your comment.
What is good about web sites trying to force users to use their app instead? That itself one of the worst dark patterns out there. Edit: If my comment looks confusing, the comment I replied to has been edited.…
