I think these questions usually focus on the wrong part of the equation. Is knowledge of obscure algorithms a good indicator of programming ability? Maybe, maybe not. Is the interviewer expecting you to know the Monotone Priority Queue algorithm, or are they evaluating your ability to approach and solve a problem? That's the question that matters, and there's no information about that here.

"Given an array, and a sliding window within that array, how would you go about finding the max" is a legitimate question with plausible real-world application. The fact that there's an obscure algorithm to optimally solve this doesn't mean it's not a good test of someone's ability to think through an algorithmic problem - as long as you don't make it an algorithm memorization test.

"Because it has a Republican majority as a result of Trump's election"

Sorry, its makeup has nothing to do with "Trump's election". All three current members were appointed by Obama.

Now, Trump is likely to get to appoint at least three members. At that point, it could, perhaps, justifiably be called "Trump's" FCC.

Until that happens, though, calling an independent agency in which all of the members were appointed by Obama (and over which the executive branch has no direct authority) "Trump's" is so disingenuous it crosses the borderline into dishonesty.
That's the exact opposite of the correct approach.

Unless it can be proven (and he doesn't, at all, prove his case) then there is no reason to not describe it as such.

(Grandiose is the exception - that's a stylistic judgement and quite apt here, irrespective of its truth value)
No, not really.

Hedonism refers to pursuing pleasures such as money, sex, food, luxury. Unless you want to play fast and loose with terms, an achievement such as becoming a veterinarian or winning a tennis championship or breaking a videogame speedrun record doesn't qualify.

Some words are tricky to fully define outside any ambiguity. Love and Game are good examples.

Can we have one for police mis-conduct?
It's a fair question. The quote is one reviewer's opinion. I posted it without explanation as context for the paper.

A more neutral warning is that Tegmark has moved from conventional science towards untestable speculation. That and the fact that he has cultivated funding sources more aligned with the occult than with science has left many of his peers seemingly resentful.

Three felonies a day isn't an old saying, it's a buzzword pushed by an attorney who makes a living from telling highly exaggerated stories about overbearing government that don't stand up under scrutiny. Have a read of the documents in this case and notice how the engineering board courteously informed Jarlstrom of his error without any fines or penalties, only for him to turn around and repeat the behavior he had been warned against.
Agreed. For me, I noticed that I am always seeking for an answer. A magical key that will unlock everything lol. I do not mean from a religious POV. I just mean things like..if I do X, Y will happen which will lead to Z, so on and so forth.

Related to this: Instead of Hendonism, I am getting into Stoicism; of course adapting it to 'modern day'.
First of all, this map is wrong. Every state except Alaska, Florida, Nevada, South Dakota, Texas, Washington, and Wyoming should be bright red for stealing hard earned cash from people who did nothing wrong.

This map is trying to mock more severe problems that people face. Nobody is going to fraud you to death tonight. Right?

Fraud is just a typical manifestation of the free market. If someone commits fraud against you, you had the free agency to enter a deal with them. You should have been more careful with your money, but at least the market will correct after enough people get burned.

The state, however, will throw your ass in jail if you don't pay.

Yeah, I couldn't live in a small town either. Its important to note though that Boston, Chicago, Philly or any number large metros are actually quite larger than San Francisco and have more vibrant downtowns with much more affordable suburbs. Agree that having friends and family around can make all the difference. Driving indeed can be stressful, my work happens to be just 10 min from home and I'm a 30 min drive away from a great city. After making the move I do feel like I have the best of both worlds... relaxed and low stress suburban lifestyle with a massive and vibrant urban center nearby. I've also found that the fiscally conservative and low stress lifestyle is more conducive to travel, which I've been able to do a lot more often now (being in the East coast probably helps too, with lots of major cities just a short flight away)
Wow. Interesting. This is really cool, being able to learn like this :3

I must admit I have so many questions, like what the dot does, what fst and snd and >>= and OverloadedStrings and zip do... :)

Echo the good riddance comment.

Psst... Someone tell CPanel Inc and all the millions of horrid cPanel shared hosting providers which still promotes this nonsense as the default way to manage files. It is somewhat sad when you meet a new young fresh developer where deployment = filezilla.
I don't think either of the following have been established:

1. We should expect existing lax enforcement to have a significant effect on speed.

2. Existing lax enforcement has a nonexistent effect compared to the baseline (no enforcement at all).

Even if you established both of these, it still wouldn't be sufficient to make the logical inference that rigorous enforcement would be ineffective for decreasing speeds. It would not be at all surprising that behavior goes unchanged if enforcement rates are below 0.1%. It would be very surprising if enforcement rates closer to 10% had no power to change behavior.
Yep, I've missed apostrophe's quite a few times. It's was a common cause of infinite loops for me in the past, but I suppose I've trained myself to spot them more quickly.

Perhaps zip can be more simply explained by a simple example:

out: zip ["a","b","c"] [0,1,2]
out: [("a",0),("b",1),("c",2)]

out: fmap fst [(0,1),(2,3),(4,5)]
out: [0,2,4]

out: fmap snd [(0,1),(2,3),(4,5)]
out: [1,3,5]

I remember skiing Prospect Hill as a teenager. In the wintertime prior to 1990 it was possible to leave work at Polaroid or one of the other big office complexes along Rte 128 in Waltham and be booting up at the base of Prospect Hill 15 minutes later. Just a few slopes and a WW II-era T-bar, but still ...

ETA: A quote from a former employee during its last year of operation:

I was part of the ski school management team in Prospect Mountain's last year of operations, 1990. They had been out of business for two or three years before this season. A man named "Bill Krikorian" had been trying to reopen Mt. Watatic in Ashby, MA. The town fathers saw through him and would not allow him the permits. He leased Prospect Hill from the MDC, but three problems arose: 1. They would not give him a liquor license for the premises 2. There was virtually no natural snow that winter 3. His "cannon-style" snow gun literally blew up on the hill in mid-December.
A few moments of reviewing your comment history in this thread indicates that you are not far from inferring a general complacency with the state of affairs - and it's okay, you aren't alone in this thread.

However, that is the problem - people shouldn't be pushed around by bureaucratic functionaries because he hasn't paid the cover charge to use the title that is appropriate for his trade. He was sending an intelligible email with genuine, well researched claims - he was disrespected, fined and suppressed.

I wonder how many emails Oregon is receiving now from engineers?
That's true. So yes, road design.

I vaguely recall that the US interstate system was generally designed for 150-200 km/hr.
There are other factors at play. Like, you know, concern for the next of kin and an expected general sense of remorse, for example.

This is also an idea in Christopher Alexander's "Timeless Way Of Building" book, and a topic that's been taken up a bunch of times by the Strong Towns blog.
A narrow pedantry rarely leads to insight. The basic point that 'engineer' is a restricted title in many jurisdictions and contexts is sound, notwithstanding your emotional aversion to it. This has been explained through the thread at length, often by people more eloquent than I.

One additional comment apart from what others are suggesting - some cultures (Asian, etc) are more social than others, you might find it a bit easier to get social with them.

Where in the article is there any experimental evidence, or evidence of any kind, that increasing speed limits increases safety? They found one guy who thinks it does, which is not very convincing.

My goal in busting speeders is to increase safety. I just think the article is poorly reasoned and unconvincing in its claim that raising speed limits is an effective way to do that.
What's the backup tool you use? I've had trouble finding something that works.
