You don't need bfs to do that, you can solve it with any kind of tree traversal by just keeping track of which level you currently are on and passing a pointer to the result vector. If you can't write a tree traversal implementation within 25 minutes then I don't really know what to say.
Yes, people can adapt to having less mobility. That doesn’t mean mobility is useless or that removing it is without harm.

I did exactly this back when 23andMe switched to a newer chip. I signed up for a second account and matched with myself as a full brother. The old chip account had less data points (health items, etc) but most of the data was about the same.

My wife did the same with the same result, as did a friend who had purchased the original 23andMe kit and wanted to get the newer data from the new chip.

So while I don't doubt the accuracy of the linked article, my anecdotal experience is that the 23andMe DNA tests have repeatability at least.
It seems like there might be a middle ground, like being willing to play the game, that doesn't imply being "a servile cog?"

The trick seems to be knowing when the game is worth playing. There are certainly situations where competition is too fierce and requires too much preparation, so it's not worth doing if you don't really enjoy the game.

I'm not sure getting hired at a large tech firm is quite that competitive, though? They do hire lots of people all the time.
Well since the claims seem to have come out of left field, we could ask, "are there holes in law or oversight?" I'm not looking at a fishing expedition, rather if we have heard for instance that people are becoming injured building ships. Then maybe we can look ahead to prevent the possibility. No specific place was mentioned in that instance.

I mean looking ahead, rather than looking backward.
Indeed, for most things it's more than posisble write a performant web app these days. The bloat/lag found on the web is mostly due to poor/lazy engineering, and in some cases, ads/tracking code. Although, I believe native platforms make it easier to write performant code.

I don't think I asked that. I think someone else commented on the downvotes.

I'm just making the observation that you are being incredibly dismissive of me while not actually engaging any of my points.

Probably, I shouldn't have replied to such a dismissive position to begin with. The problem being I mostly get dismissive replies that don't take me seriously, so such a policy would have me not talking on HN at all, basically. And I've got no place else to go. HN is the least worst option for trying to find someone to talk with about such subjects, which happen to be a thing my very life basically depends upon. So I'm a tad stuck.

I don't know enough about CF to know why it works how it works. But I do know enough about science and have enough experience with people with "unique" theories of disease to know that almost always, the prevailing scientific wisdom is less wrong.

This was added after I hit the reply button. The word for this paragraph is "prejudice." You aren't actually qualified to rebut anything I've said, you just assume I'm a nutter because there are a lot of nutters in the world.

I see so many people talking about how irrelevant algorithm skills are for real world coding, and lots of allegations of age discrimination.

I see the validity of both points, and I’m sure they are true.

But people, please, some perspective.

The author spent a couple of months studying and practicing material in their spare time and got offers from top companies in the comfortable 6 figures.

That happens in no other industry, ever.

Look at what lawyers, structural engineers, accountants, and most especially architects ... not to mention the obvious one: doctors, go through to be qualified to make good money.

The author presumably graduated with a bs, worked for pay for 2.5 years, did some online learning, and makes a great living?

A doctor would still be in (very expensive) school.

I suspect there’s an element of IQ-ish testing with these puzzles and it sucks if your brain doesn’t work that way and you are permanently excluded as a result of that.

But if you have the capacity but can’t be bothered to learn a bunch of material over a fairly short time frame to handle an interview, why should these companies want you? You obviously just don’t care that much, because the investment is tiny.

The problem is with the initial line of reasoning: "If you don't like x, don't do x". It's the biggest load of crap that everyone buys into for some reason. It's like saying if you don't like air pollution, move to a different location. Like yes, true, but also I want to improve the situation in my current location, not abandon it.

That's how people feel on the internet, and you're asking them to throw in the towel completely and accept they'll never be able to share anything on the internet in private. You're even going as far as to say if they want something private they shouldn't be doing it. Both of these two things are untrue, but especially the idea that technology is inherently un-private and can never be so.

Reverse anthropomorphism—sounds okay until you realise that even we humans recognise how utterly rubbish we are at most things and strive to be better than our true selves. Our puny minds have recognised countless limitations of our humanity and we struggle to barely rise above them. Whereas these proposed gods suffer all the same pathetic failings while declaring themselves perfect.

The article doesn't really say one way or another whether it is uncommon. It also lazily veers back and forth between references to the poultry industry, and animal farms generally so I don't even think you make an inference.
One thing that I ran into pretty quickly was there are different versions of WeChat: the chinese one and the -- in my case -- American one. When I was in China early last year I needed to get invited to properly set up my account. I absolutely was not able to use WeChat Pay which was quite frustrating tbh. Basically the American version is a striped down version where you can chat with the Chinese version, but WeChat Pay is not even an option and sending/receiving red letters is also not possible.

You can get that sort of behaviour from any class by implementing the conversion operator. I assume that lambda implements `operator(void(*)())` so it is implicitly convertible to a function pointer.

An engineer that did 4 years of college at an accredited engineering school isn't enough?

What you are asking for, is a surgeon to retake the boards every time they change hospitals. Or a licensed professional engineer to retake the PE exam everytime they change jobs.

The algorithms asked in interviews are rarely implemented in a job. All they prove is how much you studied and the author of the article proves that.

What our industry is missing, IMHO is required certification and training. Doctors and nurses have yearly training and related exams to keep their certification. That's why a hospital can hire staff based on a license...Not becsuse the items you mentioned. But our industry would never go that route, which is a longer rant.

Also if peope who can't write for loops are passing your phone screen... You might want to update your phone screen.
I can't follow that argument, as it seems to apply just as much to wanting to change the type of a field, the name of a field or just making changes in general. Maybe I deal with relational databases too much, but I really miss being able to declare fields required and provide default values, because now instead I have to document, trust others will read the documentation, and provide explicit error handling for when constraints that used to be validated client side or server side by protobuf. I also miss not having a NULL value, but protobuf never had that and almost certainly due to dealing with too many relational databases ;)

If I lose oneof too, I might as well be using JSON.

I'm actually going to reply to you twice with a similar idea. You're blatantly telling people that technology can never be trusted to be private. I just don't see why such a cynical outlook on the situation is needed, especially when it's obviously not true and the odds are not necessarily stacked against people who want privacy online or on technology.

Reproducibility. What's worrying is the surprisingly large number of papers that are not reproducible. Most of that is likely not because of fraud though.

https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S002228281...
I spent a few years writing software professionally, a large fraction of it in MATLAB (engineering tools development for gas turbine companies). With every project I lost more respect for matlab, which is very slow, and clunkier than the marketing material would suggest (for instance, IPC. Or accidentally passing a large data set to a vectorized O(n^2) operation). And they charge you $20k/year for a single license!

I still have some old personal code left in matlab, and I have been using octave a bit lately just to keep running it- I have to say I do appreciate octave.
My biggest complaint is how slow plotting is, for instance, I have a method of characteristics supersonic nozzle design software based on the modified Sauer method and methodology of Zucrow and Hoffman, that runs in a couple seconds, but in octave it takes several minutes to plot no more than a couple hundred lines (no, just straight lines with two points). What gives?
From experience, if the org is doing https mitm then it almost certainly also has network device authentication (eg Cisco ICE) that would only allow corporate whitelisted devices. Usually with custom builds that would already have the corp root cert trusted.
The low detail really is due to the outdated Quake 2 models. You could go quite a bit higher on geometry and texture detail before performance becomes an issue. I actually don't know why Christoph picked Q2 specifically for this project.

The lighting in this version of Q2 is vastly more physically correct than in a lot of current generation modern engines. So it really should feel more real. I think this shows why hardware accelerated ray tracing is such a big deal for realtime graphics.
I thought the same, but if you read what was written the folks are actually lying - that seems pretty unethical.

My apologies. You thanked someone who had complained about the downvotes, and said, "I wish people would actually engage me . . ." You did not yourself ask why you were getting downvoted.

> The word for this paragraph is "prejudice."

No, at least in common parlance (and in the dictionary) prejudice requires that the opinion be based on neither reason or actual experience. But my point of view is based on reason. Something like P(wrong | (heterodox scientific claims based on personal anecdotes and internet forums)) = >0.999999, applied to your particular instance of the above.

I'm sorry, but there isn't any more efficient approach to people with unsupported heterodox views. The alternative is to treat every remotely plausible theory as equally valid to the scientific consensus, which I surely will not do. And, like you, I refuse to remain silent.

> I refer you to Semmelweis: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ignaz_Semmelweis

If you, like Semmelweis, have a study that shows your methods work in some sort of experimental way, I'd be much more predisposed to accept your positions.

I don't quite follow your analogy. I think everyone understands that the more you drive a car, the more fuel it consumes, and this being analogous to biological functions.

> That's a necessary condition

And addiction isn't, it's merely a contributing factor. Like I wrote, how do you factor in non-obese sugar/food addicts, and, vice versa, obese people who don't suffer from food addiction?

Obesity doesn't necessitate food addiction, it could be as simple as neglecting to be physically active or other poor lifestyle choices. Placing unsubstantiated importance on the role of addiction is just as baseless as disregarding all obese people as lazy. Any individual can take measures to improve their lifestyle habits and lose weight - how is this not of "interest"? Because a doctor can't prescribe it in a pill?

Yeah, I mean me too. And I do. Every day.

But I also recognize that the universe is bigger than me, and I'm not so self-assured as to believe that its impact on me isn't as big or bigger than my impact on it.

That is a lot of trust.
This whole notion of "induced demand" seems like a suspicious artificial label used to position roads as a negative. The reality is that roads provide something people want - the ability to get around quickly, on one's own terms, without dealing with waiting times or trip planning, and without some of the unsavory experiences that can sour public transit (e.g. https://www.sfgate.com/crime/article/BART-takeover-robbery-5...).

Building roads doesn't "induce" demand. Rather, it _fulfills_ demand. There is a limit to that demand - it's not like supplying infinitely more of something would infinitely scale the associated behavior. There are only so many humans and only so many trips they are willing to make in a day. And an area that is 100% roads obviously would not have any destinations worth traveling to (leaving aside edge cases like race tracks).

That leaves out the fact that this is a three-week window that people know is temporary and have time to plan for.

After the new year everyone goes to the gym and eats better. But nobody would think of saying "if this continues until February, that's a powerful indication that obesity will soon come to an end."

Racial profiling is a form of prejudice and racism but fits your accepted logic that it's fine to, for example, infer this black guy is more likely to be a criminal because of the color of his skin because statistics support that.

I think when most people (myself included) refer to cutting out carbs, it's really shorthand for cutting out starches and sugar, or at its most precise, anything with an appreciable glycemic index.

So the carbs in nuts and vegetables can be simply ignored, it's fine. Fruit is only in small amounts. And you shouldn't be eating so much protein that it gets converted to sugar.

But I totally agree -- I think either you do low-carb or you do vegan, not both. I had a friend who tried to do both, I couldn't understand it either.
Go to the library and read their math books. I don’t know why the internet is filled with these questions that are always “how do I start doing x?” Just f* do it dude. Nobody is going to be able to or bother to answer anyway. The answers wouldn’t make deep sense to you because they rely on having done it before. Once you’ve started and you’re really stuck and everything you read doesn’t seem to illuminate it, post a question. People will notice you’ve put some work and time in and will be eager to help you.

Most chip cards have NFCs in them, you can do tap on many POS’s. It isn’t as nice as Australia where tap to pay is more ubiquitous, but I find it more convenient than fiddling with my phone to get a QR code up and under a camera.

The reason street food is not well developed in SF is that there simply isn’t much street food. If small store holders and credit card free food vans were more of a thing, well, they could use Square or something. A developed economy is basically just structured very differently from a developing one, where most consumer transactions occur between big businesses that have no problem using checks or CC or debit cards or ApplePay or whatever.

On the other hand, China never had checks and CCs never caught on, debit cards were eventually supported though in annoying ways (PIN AND sign, WTF???). CCs are even worse: in China, the burden of proof is in the consumer rather than the merchant, so Chinese CC holders are actively targeted abroad for fraud (eg restaurants in Bellevue WA targeting Chinese visitors with ICBC AmEx cards because they know ICBC is a shit bank). They skipped all that, and found QR codes and phones a great way to catch up. I think that is great, but they haven’t really surpassed the deceloped world l, they’ve just adapted well to their own situation.
