It depends on the company, but most of the FAANG company (and others that try to imitate them) interviews come down to how quickly you can get the optimal solution on the board. It has very little to do with how well you can code day to day.

Most interviews have 4 sessions broken up in the following manner:

1 hour: coding

1 hour: coding

1 hour: lunch

1 hour: system design

1 hour: cross-functional

In my experience though, the first two are the ones that really make or break candidates, if you don't pass both, you're not getting hired. And yes, most of those interviews just test your knowledge of how quickly you can figure out the right data structure and algo for the question at hand. And even if you know all of the data structures and the applications of each, it can be incredibly difficult to solve the problems in the allotted time.

The other funny thing is that your previous experience doesn't do anything for you other than maybe getting to skip the technical phone screen. Everyone goes through the same process. e.g. https://twitter.com/mxcl/status/608682016205344768?lang=en

On the bright side, it does look like many companies are now realizing this isn't a great way to evaluate someone's ability and are beginning to incorporate more practical exercises.
Trees only do what they do because they're in competition with other trees. Unless someone starts putting solar panels on poles above the farm, it doesn't really make sense to kick that kind of competition off. There is, after all, a fixed amount of surface area to expose to direct sunlight.

I'm pretty sure that Interview Cake is at least five years old at this point.
Isn't Knuth about 80 years old? If that isn't humbling, I don't know what is.
Yes, and under this description, the equivalent of the Bayesian prior is picking what the null hypothesis is. Frequentists simply fail to admit (or perhaps fail to understand) that that choice is just as much of a subjective judgment as the Bayesian choice of prior.
Are you thinking about molten sodium power plants that use mirrors?
Long back around 2014, I started with No-Notification by Default[1] on my phone and my digital life. It was a really good start, and today I don't get notified of anything except very critical things that I selectively choose to keep them on.

About a year back, I experimented with a default Silent and Default DND[2] on my phone. No call goes through except the ones in my favorites (less than 10). I'm loving it.

It's certainly the nature of the culture we inherited. You can look at alternative cultures folks have maintained where they don't spread out as rapidly as possible and have some base notion of conservation and environmentalism and it seems like those folks have a pretty good situation too.

Ever consider re-prioritizing and leading by example?
For some reason this only works for me if I'm not using a Private tab in Firefox.
so is that the magic formula for PR damage control for the next internet disaster: join their group with many shill accts, pretend to go along with the conspiracy and make it bigger and more obnoxious than before, drawing on racial/anti-semitic tropes, then with your main mouthpiece, criticize the disaster as being racist/anti-semitic therefore clearly false?
The one thing that annoys me about Kitty is the lack of greyscale anti aliasing. My eyes are damaged and properly configured fonts that aren't jagged or blurry are a godsend.
I guess I meant that cleaning the panels uses clean water. Unless someone has a good way to get the dust off without using water.
Strange that they put mirrors on maybe 1/6 of the land. I'm sure they have a reason, but I wonder what it is?
Large wind turbines are much less sustainable and higher maintenance. They're really only sensible in small scales, where their other disadvantages go away, or when no other option is viable.
This is truly an amazing piece of junk speculation from a supposed psych prof.

I find it interesting how the current culture is confusing social norms and personal acceptance when they want to then say "be a special snowflake". Not everyone will like you and that's okay. No one has to like you, except for you. You should like yourself. Generally speaking. Same goes with not liking everyone else. No one will like everyone. Again, nothing wrong with that. That happens when you foster self worth. Social cues are then far easier to manage when you learn that you can pick and choose who you can like and appreciate. It's easier to ignore assholes and enjoy the time with good people.

Monitoring social cues and being yourself are two different things. Being yourself means that you don't agree with everyone around you always to appease them. Social cues, or the self monitoring as they like to say is knowing when to say "I don't agree because xyz" or "you're a dumbass".

Damn it I feel like I'm taking crazy pills here. Did tech really make society this stupid this fast?
> Accessible design tends to be easier to read in general, helping everyone.

This is not necessarily so.
I develop mobile apps for a large corp. Our designers are often told by the accessibility team to change their design in ways that make the more accessible, but reduce the usability for normal users.
I'm talking about simple controls that most people take for granted, like date/time pickers, carousels etc.
Save Bandit! (sorry)
Indeed, there were many true conspiracies in the nation's history, some of them which sound absolutely false and ridiculous until you read the declassified documents. The CIA's experiments with LSD, the FBI's threats to MLK, COINTELPRO as you mentioned, the Tuskegee syphilis experiment, these are all sordid (and true) episodes in US history that perfectly fit the "conspiracy theory" mold. If one of these events happened today and people uncovered it, they would be relentlessly mocked as "Russian trolls" by blue checks on Twitter, ignored by the mainstream media, and blocked by centralized social media gatekeepers like YouTube and Facebook.

(Needless to say, the US is not the only country with skeletons in its closet. Many others are worse.)

Some so-called "conspiracies" -- not all, not even most, but some -- ARE true. They are usually pretty horrible, and they deserve to be exposed. Do we really want to suppress conversations that could uncover these kind of institutional crimes? It's not like the bought-and-paid-for media is going to do it.

My opinion: violent people are going to find something to lash out no matter what. It might be an obsession with a celebrity, an ideology, a conspiracy theory, a religion, a politician, a neighbor or coworker, or something else. Rather than playing whack-a-mole with possible "triggers" for violence, realize that potential triggers are everywhere and adjust strategy accordingly.
So how would you say to fix the problem of white supremacists organizing and committing acts of terrorism against local communities, synagogues and so forth? Or are we as a community only allowed to be reactive to such events?

Or to make it perhaps more palatable: Would you defend the rights of say, Al-Qaeda to organize, plan and carry out acts of terror within the US because we consider parts 1 and 2 to be part of their right to freedom of speech? Or what about cults? At what point does their freedom of speech become psychological abuse?

There's no such thing as "authentic" and there's certainly no such thing as an "authentic self". If you're the kind of person who hates going to the bar, but goes because you like having friends, and to survive it you go into comedian mode, that's a part of who you are.

Normalyzing Numeronyms – A NLP Approach
Are you under the impression farmland is not a massive source of dust? It's tilled and aerated soil populated by short-lived crops genetically engineered to spend as much of their energy on the edible part as possible.

If you want a concern to hold, it's that this will probably increase pioneer grass spreading during the rainy season and then then the panels will all get melted in a wildfire. You don't need to plant anything to pollinator-friendly stuff on your land in California. It shows up with a vengeance.
I mean, the Harbour Tunnel does that onto S Dowling St, yes, it's congested but still works better than going through the city...
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe the answer is "both", at least as far as I've read.
I don't have a CS degree either, and I have yet to pass so much as a FAANG phonescreen (I'm 0 for 3), but I'm both glad and grateful that the employers that pay the most also care the least about your education or past experience when it comes to the interview process.

Compare it to equivalent high-paying fields like finance or law, where you can hit a career ceiling based simply on what school you went to.

I hate studying for tech interviews. It feels like a sisyphean task, since I'll get really into prepping for a few days, then taper off until I've forgotten everything. At least it's easier to start up again the next time. This is now my third time attempting to prep.

I wish I was brave enough to just quit my job and spend 2 months studying. I'm in SF now, and all of my friends here make at least $300k when counting stocks and bonuses. I'm just barely short of half that (with no stocks or bonuses), and getting there is my next big career goal.

Yes, those are the same behavior. Both of them "may" accept it and "may" reject it, and "may" includes both "always" and "never".

It is correct to the letter of LSP, but not the spirit of it, and this was a conscious decision; contrary to your original claim, they understood the principle perfectly well.
That’s because incentives shifted toward decreasing peak demand.
The Washington Post has a 'Arc Publishing' division (essentially, from what I can gather, a digital news delivery as a service company [1]). One of their clients is the LA Times [2]. In other words, the quality of the LA Times's digital platforms, in theory, is (or is near) equivalent to the Washington Post's.

It's easy to challenge the subjectivity of a prior, pretending that frequentist testing is objective... until you design your own experiment, rather than just analyze one. Turns out this is a more important part. It'd be illustrative to explain that process.

A p-value of 0.05 (or a test with 95% significance) will, if there's actually nothing there, tell you'll think there's something there 5% of the time (wrongly). It says nothing about error rates if there is something there, which is presumably what we're interested in. So for that, you'll do what's called a power analysis. Power of the conventional 80% tells you, if there's actually an effect size of X and you know all about your noise, you'll think there's nothing there 20% of the time (wrongly).

5% comes out of nowhere. 80% comes out of nowhere. A priori knowing your noise is often feasible, but not always. X, the presumed effect size you have to magically know before you run your experiment, comes out of nowhere. Getting this right is crucial to a reliable experiment, and it needs to really reflect your prior belief, even though it's frequentist. It's totally subjective.

What's worse is that X is often taken to be whatever leads to a feasible/fundable experiment that'll be done fast enough, not anything scientific.

It's waaay harder to understand the impact of the subjective 5%/80%/X decisions than it is to understand the impact of your prior. A prior takes way less training. Better yet, you can report your results assuming many different priors and let your reader subjectively decide what to think, so you don't have to commit as hard.

tl;dr The "gold standard" way of doing science is already really subjective and that's okay. Equally subjective alternatives can still be better science.

seconded. thirded. this is great!
Agree,I set the same key as in Quake,and full screen console drop down,which is very cool.
To be clear I think it’s good to test CS fundamentals even if you don’t use them every day. It’s a good screen for aptitude. I’m just concerned that taken to the extreme it mistakes excessive pattern recognition prep for true comprehension and aptitude. Especially if it’s “whoever puts the optimal solution on the board fastest wins.”

I do think it would do you some good to read up on core CS and algorithms though. I also did not get a CS degree and learned in the field, but now having studied up on it I feel much more in command of my craft. They do come into play now and then, it’s not just brain teasers. It does take weeks to months to really learn it though so I understand the resistance.
I develop mobile apps for a large corp, who have decided to deliver maximum accessibility.
And I can tell you that accessibility is hard to get right.
I estimate implementing good accessibility and fixing accessibility bugs in Android takes around 20-25 % of our total effort.
You can clean them with electrostatic force. Also, you can jut flip the panel over. You definitely don't need to use water regularly and you certainly don't need it to be anything but within a reasonable PH.
It would use far less water than crops.

> For a completely arbitrary program, it is not possible to calculate a tight bound on the time or memory complexity of that that program via static analysis. See Rice's Theorem[0].

That theorem proves that no general algorithm exists. That doesn’t mean it can’t be done for a particular program. The real challenge is that modern compilers and processors will execute in a way that is hard to predict from source code.
I don't get what you're arguing. Neither of those are examples of protected speech. In fact, the first example Wikipedia gives of speech that isn't protected is the KKK inciting violence: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_free_speech_exce...
About aiming… solar panels want to be installed normal to the sun which means any reflection is going to go back toward the sun. Of course the sun moves around but the reflections are mostly sunward. You’d probably have to have panels in a steep valley to reflect back toward a road.
Same. Would definitely want to use this if it would support GPM or YTM.

Why do people hate semantic versioning so much? Just call it 4.0.0 if it's a major version, or if it's not, don't call it major.
I hope someone will. Intellectual discussion seems to always play second fiddle to emotion and personal attacks (attack the idea, please, instead of the person).

Takes courage to stand up to a mob, online or in person. We need to defend the right to discuss distasteful things, and even to wonder if they are true (should I add a holocaust disclaimer here?).
I'm completely on board with what you're saying. Liking yourself is important and sometimes very difficult. I used to obsess so much about not just being liked, but being the most liked. I hurt a lot of friends in my teenage years while trying to become the most popular person in the "group'. At some point in my 20s something clicked and I just stopped caring about how others thought of me. I felt confident in myself and I no-longer needed an audience to find me interesting or funny.

One of my favourite traits/quirks is making jokes that are guaranteed to bomb for anyone but myself or maybe someone who isn't present. I'll get confused looks and just say, "don't worry, the cosmos found that one hilarious."
Like a lot of "dangerous" speech online I wish the government would focus their efforts on helping the people who are getting sucked in to these ideologies rather than trying to police them. I have a friend who went down the conspiracy theory rabbit hole shortly after his dad died. He's very clearly mentally unwell. He owns several firearms and sometimes I do worry about him snapping. But there's just no reasoning with him when it comes to his conspiracies or seeking medical treatment.

He's not a criminal. I hope he doesn't become one. Once upon a time he was a really nice guy. But I think he (and society) would benefit a lot more from some support and mental health treatment than surveillance.
One field office in Arizona wrote a single report...

Am I missing something? How does one field off speak for the entirety of the FBI? If this was coming from the director of the FBI it would have a bit more grit.

Additionally, for performance work you can put your performance expectations in a test: run both the old and new version, assert the perf. difference you want in addition to the result being the same.
Do you feel the same about al-Qaeda? (Not a trick question–honestly I would be willing to argue in favor of al-Qaeda's freedom of speech, including their freedom to advocate their ideology in the US. And I work in a high-rise building in lower Manhattan.)

It seems like designating anyone as a terrorist or stating that any ideology is a root cause of a national security threat is a direct risk to the freedom of speech. Yet it seems valid and important for a country's executive to do so.
More of a Mozilla opportunity then.

This would not create a scenario for extension developers to get rich, but it would provide some support to keep going, which could justify turning down potentially harmful monetization alternatives.

Hosting a conference or creating a fellowship for top extension developers could also work -- some measure of appreciation that helps developers earn a living, directly or indirectly.
Whoa, I totally read that backwards like a moron: the article says that the KKK was actually let go because it wasn't clear they expressed immediate intent to do violence. Leaving the comment for posterity's sake.

The point I was trying to make is that there are limits to free speech, I don't think you can plot a terrorist attack in public and get away with it.
