I suspect they're deep, deep down in a pit of denial because to admit that this is a problem would be an existential threat to them and their way of parenting.
Because it wasn't made the way the parent suggests, but relied on algorithms trying to identify appropriate content and after-the-fact moderation in case of complaints.
Here are my advices on how to train yourself for algorithm/data structures interviews:

1. Others already recommended to practice solving problems on LeetCode;

2. While solving these problems don't spend too much time if you got stuck, look for answer or discussion after hour or two;

3. If you feel weak on some topic (e.g. dynamic programming), try to read up related material, lecture notes, familiarize yourself with classical problems on this topic;

4. Even if you solved problem, look for other answers. You often be surprised how much shorter and concise solution can be;

5. Read some books on algorithms like Skiena or Papadimitriou. I don't recommend you to read Knuth or CLRS unless you have strong math background. Skiena or Papadimitriou are much easier to read for beginner. Also, separately, I do recommend the book - Programming Pearls by Bentley;

6. Once you practised for two months or more, start taking mock interviews on Gainlo;

7. Enjoy algorithms and solving programming puzzles. Enjoying algorithms is a must because if you really want to master it to the Google interview level, it may take years;
Take a break every hour and walk around.

Have a snack and drink, possibly with caffeine.

Clean your desk and keyboard to within an inch of its life.

Work on your sleep hygiene and general health.

Yeah, because Flixbus knows that they can only compete on price. Trains tend to be more comfortable, and connections tend to be way faster because a train can enter and leave cities faster than a bus can. Bus really only wins for me when it's a rather short and direct connection, otherwise the long journey times kill it for me.

I think people in this thread might be overstating the degree to which history isn't already taught this way. I just got done teaching a world history class (from the Paleolithic to 1500) at a university. Granted, we don't tend to teach classes like this in a completely reversed chronological order, like Pulp Fiction or something. But I began the course with the famous "hockey stick" graph of human population and had them think throughout the class about how we got to where we are. Was farming inevitable? Were world empires? Was the Industrial Revolution? If yes, why? And if not, how might it have gone differently?

The class was oriented entirely around the starting point of our present (both as a group of people living in a university town in California and as a global society). We worked backward from that present to key in on some of the main changes of the past several thousand years, notably the origin of written language, agriculture, urbanized societies, global trade, and science. Teaching world history without that present-day hook would be virtually impossible because there is just too much to cover and you need some kind of limiting factor. As you note, the best anchor is the current existing world, so that's what world history teachers tend to use.
Simple. You pick a current event. A, and say how it was influenced by this historical event B, and how it was motivated by an even more historical event C.

The only real advantage over starting with C, is that you have the motivating current event A to capture the attention of your students.

My apologies, I see now that I should have been more clear in my description and it wasn't quite clear about where all of this was occurring: I was referring to the defensive team losing track of a player in their own zone after, sometimes long after, the puck has entered the zone.

Some players are just really, really good at "disappearing". I mentioned two of the ways that they do it: just gliding out from behind the net on the weak side (skating very lightly) is one, and hanging back on the weak side after a hard check is another. Of course, there also has to be players that can get the puck to that guy, otherwise, these techniques don't amount to much.
Just be fine with failing a bunch until you find a company not using such obviously bad interview techniques.

Don’t waste time on leetcode / HackerRank / etc. It’s not useful. Practice programming by writing code you enjoy, solving problems you are interested in. You’ll be naturally productive at what you enjoy, and just build on that.

Anybody giving advice that comes from the point of view that these interview techniques have any legitimacy is probably just someone who happens to randomly be good at or enjoys interview trivia, and so their opinion is clouded by a selection bias effect. This is especially true on Hacker News.

They do well on interviews, not because their study methods work better and not because they are better at engineering or more effective in a job. They are not. They just benefit randomly from a system set up to reward traits they happen to have already and find easy. Their ideas worked for them but are very unlikely to work for you.

Seriously, just do a lot of interviews, fail a lot, and be fine with it. It’s easier said than done, but it’s necessary for you to weed out the places with foolish interview practices and find the ones which are more holistic, human productivity focused, flexible, etc.

I happen to be good at quickly working through algorithms, mostly in machine learning and search data structures, but in general software too.

If anyone tries to hire me because of that quick “see how you think” whiteboard nonsense, I just walk away. They are doing it wrong; life’s too short.
I'm from South Africa. I think of "soccer" as the normal term; "football" is also common, and always used in formal contexts.

Technically, yes that statement does cover all smaller increments than "months". But, practically speaking, I think of several days as the lower boundary of that statement rather than minutes.
I used a bus to go from Dresden to Wien (and back) overnight a few years ago. This experience convinced me to never ever do something like that again.

1. I absolutely could not sleep on a bus that makes frequent turns on country roads.

2. On the way back to Germany, we got stuck for 2 hours in a passport check, because customs found a Bulgarian family on the bus that had previously been extradited, and there was a long argument before they left the bus.
Most people neither understand nor care to learn copyright law, nor would most bother to reason “x content would only be here unlawfully, therefore I should not watch it here because it’s either a threat to me or to the content creator”.

For example, search for the strictly inaccurate phrase “copyright not intended” on YouTube and observe the type of result.
So just like any other phishing attempt then. What did we gain again?
I propose a new rule of the internet, much like the rule of "if you can think of it, there's porn for it." If you can think of it, there's a alt coin for it.

It's genuinely difficult. One friend suggested "a coin for space travel". Nope. Mars coin is a thing. What about a coin for students? Nope. A coin for Kanye West. Nope. A coin for porn? Nope, of course that already exists. There's even a coin for keeping track of blockchains.
Would you get different results if you were in a room by yourself, under exam conditions? Maybe some companies would let you test that way.
seen both sides of this. have had years of mostly ... mid-to-bad cable experiences. had some friends who seemingly never had issues with their stuff tell me i must be 'doing something' with mine ('using too much' or 'being abusive'?). Then... a few years ago, they started having their cables break/fail/burn. They 'get it' now. And... I've known other people who've never or rarely had issues. The impression is that Apple is one company and everything goes through the same level of QA. My experiences seem to indicate that's not true, at least with cabling.
They’re just too high pressure and picky nowadays, and you’re competing with too many good candidates

Indeed. Many people (including myself) find it hard to reconcile our lived experiences with the hysterical claims in the press about a desperate skills shortage.

To the OP: if it helps, understand that these kinds of interviews and how you do on them are in no way reflective of your skills as an engineer or your worth as a human being. You’re just being hazed, by someone you probably wouldn’t want to work with anyway. Keep at it, and eventually you will get to speak to someone who is basically normal that you can have a real conversation with.

I don’t think everyone just starts learning music playing Bach or medieval music. It’s far far less of a straight path than this article suggests.

Yes, you assumed something beyond the question, and you applied a view to it.

> You're the one assuming bad faith with my comment.

No, your comment is just rude by giving the commenter a view point just for asking a question. Whatever your intent, it was rude, and you should apologize and not do it again.
We’re a C# shop, with a heavy tie into Microsoft infrastructure and Azure. Doesn’t mean we won’t be looking into flutter.

Xamarin is terrible to work with, and if AngularDart shares code with Flutter then it might be interesting to replace angularJS + Xamarin with dart.

I only clicked this article because I a Danish municipality programmer, I follow, comment on flutter, on one of the Microsoft news portals though, so the community is definitely a lot smaller than the Xamarin.
Playing devil's advocate here (because I do agree this would be ridiculous but I think this is worth pointing out), but you can never completely rule out tricking the user. They could always download a file and run it to bypass the browser or something. So the question really is how easy it is to trick the user here.
What benefits in design do small rockets have? Are there aspects of construction/aerodynamics/materials/other effects that get easier when the rocket gets smaller?

I can occasionally procrastinate heavily.

I will procrastinate when what I need to do is hard (requires too much effort), when it is too easy, or when there is too much uncertainty involved (worst out of the three).

So personally instead of trying to combat the symptoms with techniques like forced breaks or powering through any urge to do something else, I try to address the causes by taking up appropriate tasks or breaking them down sufficiently.
The now accepted view of 'body count was misleading' actually did not fundamentally affect military outcomes. It was a bad measure, but the US still [won]. It affected some things, maybe a 'shock' to public opinion, but it was not existential in terms of changing the military outcomes.

No, it was existential, because that shock to public opinion was a large part of the reason that the strategic goal was abandoned. The draft may have been a larger part, but the point remains: tolerating and perhaps even encouraging excessive civilian casualties was a military failure that played a role in the geopolitical failure. They are not separate issues at all.

zUIx.js: create amazing component-based websites and web applications
Petrol is very safe for the energy density it has due to the relatively slow rate at which outside oxygen gets fed into the flame causing a burn rather than explosion. TNT is far less energy dense (1/5 iirc) but because it contains oxygen it is far more dangerous and explosive. A very high energy density battery is likely to be closer to TNT in its reaction and not have the requirement of needing outside oxigen to keep the reaction speed in check (but really this depends on the exact technology of the battery)
> I am a Comcast subscriber, and like many Comcast subscribers I'm sure, I have one of their boxes in my house, with the most basic Cable TV package, because if I don't take it my cost goes up (I mean the overall price of the monthly billed amount from Comcast/Xfinity)

This seems to vary region to region. Where I am (western Washington, west of Seattle) all the internet-only packages are cheaper than all the internet + TV packages at the same internet speed, as far as I can tell.

When comparing the price with and without TV, are your taking into account the fees and equipment charges that go away if you don't have TV? Although here internet only is cheaper than internet + TV, it isn't much cheaper. I've got 400 Mb/s internet, Preferred TV (220+ channels + Starz), and Phone, and dropping down to just 400 Mb/s internet would only knock $20 off the base price. That's a small enough change that it is probably less than I'd end up spending on streaming subscription and rental services to make up for the lost TV.

However, dropping TV and phone would also drop $11/month for the DVR service, $8/month for the broadcast TV fee, $6.30/month for the regional sports fee, and $4.60 for the franchise fee (and maybe some sales tax, if any of those fees are taxable). That's another $30/month, so we are talking $50/month less on my total bill. Now I would come out ahead even if I have to subscribe to multiple streaming services for my TV.

Fireworks are the best part of Diwali. Banning them would go over as well as mandating tofurkey on Thanksgiving. This is a big problem with environmentalism IMO. Thing which propenents think are just common sense get viewed as attacks on a way of life (aided and abetted by exploitative politicians.) and what could be rational public policy debate details into kulturkampf.

I think there is a better solution. Last year New Jersey legalized firework sales and we celebrated Diwali with an arsenal which could make an Afghan warlord jealous. One of our guests visiting from India marvelled at how little smoke there was. So the best course would be to improve the quality of Indian fireworks then everyone wins.
Practice, practice, practice.
Then practice more.
It sucks, but until we get to set the rules - just practice 'till you good.
Thanks for the article -- especially agree with the "Lead and take the charge." I feel that's very important if you expect to learn from mentoring.

Shameless plug but I wrote a Medium article about what I learned from mentoring an intern last summer and what people can get out of it. I'm mentoring another intern this summer and it's really great working with different people and how they learn in different ways.

In case anyone is confused by this response, Mockingbird was a concept and was never built. The SS-520-5 was built and reached orbit once.
True. But depending on what's you guess on how much it costs for netflix to get a content hour watched by a user(maybe ~$0.1-0.2), streaming costs may become meaningful, and higher streaming costs becomes a strategic disadvantage.

Interviewers are very bad at accounting for this.

For example, there is almost no engineering question on the planet that people straightforwardly solve from first principles in 30 minutes, unless it’s totally shallow based on memorization or childish rote practice — and has virtually zero relationship to how they would ever solve any problem at work.

But there are all kinds of insanely hard problems that people can give you beautiful solutions for in 10-20 hours, and involve an entirely different way of working than anything possibly representable in 30 minutes.

Engineering and math questions just require burn-in and rumination, tinkering, stop & get a cup of tea, take a walk, tinker more. They just do.

Seeing “how someone thinks” in an artificial 30-60 minute session only tests a completely separate and mostly unnecessary skill set for passing tests and memorizing things.

Ask HN: Just banked my first million – how to take advantage of this new wealth?
I come from a working-class refugee family. Pretty typical career path - studied hard, went to college, worked hard, got a job.

Over the last 5 years, through a series of fortunate events (startup exit as an employee, sold a side project/hustle, invested all the previous proceeds into the stock market), I've worked my way from $1000 in the bank to my first $1 million.

My goal is to turn this into $10M within 10 years.

Does anyone have some wisdom or advice on where to go from here? Tips on how to take advantage of this money as an entrepreneur?
I would say the biggest thing you can do is practice on Leetcode. You need to be see the different patterns that are used to solve certain classes of problems (tree problems, dynamic programming, array focused problems). There are common data structures that pop up in almost all of the questions (hashmap, linked lists, tree, bst, etc). It's just a matter of exposure but focus on the underlying pattern/technique used to solve the problem and understand how and why it's being used as opposed to rote memorization.

The alternative is finding companies that do not ask these types of interview questions. The only big company I know that doesn't ask those types of questions is Stripe but I'm sure there are plenty of others though they may not be 100% what you are looking for.
What makes this different than a co-op, aside from the "definitely not a scam guys, honest!" overtones of selling unregulated stock disguised as tokens? That and hosting everything "on the blockchain" for some inscrutable reason?

And what does hosting news "on the blockchain" even mean in any practical sense? That I'll have to install a crypto-mining client just to read their articles? Or that they won't use normal webservers to host their content?
Patterson's Cipher for Jefferson – Challenge Solved After 200 Years (2009)
A few years ago I wanted to make a shoot-em-up game using C# and XNA I could play with my kids on an Xbox. It worked fine except for slight pauses for GC every once in a while which ruined the experience.

The best solution I found was to get rid of objects and allocation entirely and instead store the state of the game in per-type tables like in this article.

Then I realized that I didn't need per-type tables at all, and if I used what amounted to a union of all types I could store all the game state in a single table, excluding graphical data and textures.

Next I realized that since most objects had properties like position and velocity, I could update those with a single method by iterating through the table.

That led to each "object" being a collection of various properties acted on by independent methods which were things like gravity and collision detection. I could specify that a particular game entity was subject to gravity or not, etc.

The resulting performance was fantastic and I found I could have many thousands of on-screen objects at the time with no hiccups. The design also made it really easy to save and replay game state; just save or serialize the single state table and input for each frame.

The final optimization would have been to write a language that would define game entities in terms of the game components they were subject to and automatically generate the single class that was union of all possible types and would be a "row" in the table. I didn't get around to that because it just wasn't necessary for the simple game I made.

I was inspired to do this from various articles about "component based game design" published at the time that were variations on this technique, and the common thread was that a hierarchical OO structure ended up adding a lot of unneeded complexity for games that hindered flexibility as requirements changed or different behaviors for in-game entities were added.

Absolutely, agree with you. And it should apply to adult entertainment too.

When first I got Kindle, I really loved reading random books for free (Amazon Prime books). But then it got so much noise that now I can pretty much guarantee that if a book is available for free, it is worthless. My new rule is if I am not willing to pay for a book, I am not going to waste my time reading it.
This is a really cool idea. It would be great to have something like this but for react. The barrier there seems to be that everyone would have to adopt a common compenetized css standard.
