Works even if Kopecks are divisible: say the books value is 7.5, Mash must have 0.5 (7.5 - 7) and Misha 6.5 (7.5 - 1), however now when you combine them they sum to exactly 7.5 not less than, the only way to arrive at less than is if Masha has 0. So its always exactly 7

I actually got to hate math in grade 3 with such problems. Nobody explained to me that I could just write down an equasion, at least my father (physicist) could not. And all I saw in the magazines were cryptic answers like "it's plain obvious that for Jose-Rammstein conjuncture, x = 10"

I also met the problem #9 at an interview, and was asked to write the solution in pseudocode, as a kind of fizz-buzz test. (A peasant must take a wolf, a goat and a cabbage across a river in a boat. However the boat is so small that he is able to take only one of the three on board with him. How should he transport all three across the river? The
wolf cannot be left alone with the goat, and the goat cannot be left alone with the cabbage.)

Yeah, and obviously that's an ideal, not necessarily reality -- fresh out of college, or just looking more urgently for a job, I think the stakes are a little different and you gotta be a little more willing to just "take the job."

But as someone with experience, looking for higher-level positions, ideally with some time on your hands / savings in the bank to take your time interviewing around? Yeah, it should totally be a two-way street.

> That, unfortunately, is really heavy memory wise and on the OS context switcher.

So, there was a time where a broad statement like that was pretty solid. These days, I don't think so. The default stack size (on 64-bit Linux) is 1MB, and you can manipulate that to be smaller if you want. That's also the virtual memory. The actually memory usage depends on your application. There was a time where 1MB was a lot of memory, but these days, for a lot of contexts, it's kind of peanuts unless you have literally millions of threads (and even then...). Yes, you can be more memory efficient, but it wouldn't necessarily help that much. Similarly, at least in the case of blocking IO (which is normally why you'd have so many threads), the overhead on the OS context switcher isn't necessarily that significant, as most threads will be blocked at any given time, and you're already going to have a context switch from the kernel to userspace. Depending on circumstance, using polling IO models can lead to more context switching, not less.

There's certainly circumstances where threads significantly impede your application's efficiency, but if you are really in that situation you likely already know it. In the broad set of use cases though, switching from a thread-based concurrency model to something else isn't going to be the big win people think it will be.

I actually bought one of the devices and took it apart on video. There is nothing inside except 4 magnets and a plastic printed card. No active circuits and no power source and no components such as resistors or capacitors and certainly there is no microchip inside.

edit below are links to pictures of the device and accompanying text as originally on facebook posted

=======================================

Hi Powerinsole I ordered one of your power chip devices and took a detailed look at it. My analyses is as follows.
1. There is no battery and no system for harvesting energy. All electronic circuits require an energy source and a lack of an obvious system for powering the device is a problem.
2. There are no components such as integrated circuits, transistors, capacitors, diodes or inductive devices that would be required to create a "circuit" or "chip". A "chip" is not just a random configuration of tracks. The tracks are there to transfer electricity between components that shape and switch the electric current according to purpose but given that there are no components what are the tracks for?
3. There are 4 magnets. Probably neodymium. They produce a constant magnetic field. They do not generate "frequencies". The device sticks to a metal wall like a fridge magnet and doesn't vibrate.
5. The tracks are configured in such a way that even if components were attached at the "solder points" nothing would happen because the tracks are all shorted together. Electricity always takes the easiest path. If all the tracks are are shorted then the components will receive no energy input.
6. After testing with a multimeter I found that the tracks on the "circuit board" do not conduct electricity. If the tracks do not conduct electricity there is no possibility of transferring energy to components. ( there are no components )
7. The magnets are isolated from the "tracks" and each other by a plastic layer and glue. It is not clear what the relationship the position of the magnets to the tracks might be.
8. There is no NVRAM, magnetic storage, optical storage, ROMs or other known systems for storing information. So claims from PowerInsole that they load information onto the device is difficult to comprehend.
9. There is no crystal or LC circuit to drive an oscillator. Even if there was there is no battery to drive it and the tracks are all shorted and the tracks do not conduct electricity.
Given the above observations I find it difficult to believe that the device can function as advertised. What you essentially have is 4 small magnets on a printed card in a gel cushion for 69 euros.
If I am wrong about any of the above I would be happy to have a respectful and open discussion about your technology.

I figured the same, but that's a curious definition for "combined their money". That means that Masha has no money, and Misha has six kopecks, so they combined 0 + 6 and are still short of 7. If the price was eight kopecks, they'd have one and seven each, and would have exactly enough. If it cost nine kopecks, they'd have 2 and 8, and would have more than enough.

Eventually I concluded that the price must be between 7 and 8 kopecks, however, a kopeck is a fraction of a ruble, and Google tells me the exchange rate is currently something like 76 rubles per USD, and a kopeck is 1/100th of a ruble, so a tiny fraction of a penny, which is itself nearly worthless. Wikipedia says that hyperinflation in early Soviet Russia, inflation during the cold war, the 1998 redenomination of one new RUB ruble to 1000 RUR old rubles, and subsequent inflation in Russia all combine to mean that one kopeck in the early 90s is worth about 40,000 times less than one kopeck today. Similarly, my American son is sometimes confused why Mom and Dad pay for stuff at stores with dollar bills, but also have pennies, nickels, and dimes. Morris the Moose can buy a lemon drop for a penny, why does a small pack of lemon drops cost two dollars at the store?

The last time you could subdivide a kopeck in half into a denga was around the 1917 revolution, so if the book cost 7 kopecks and one denga, Masha could have one denga and Misha could have 6 kopecks and one denga, and they could combine to get 7 kopecks but not have enough.

The true answer is that if Masha and Misha have been collecting old kopecks forgotten between the couch cushions in their piggybanks, they'll be better off melting the coins for scrap metal, because they're not keeping up with inflation. You can barely buy a piece of paper for a ruble, much less a kopeck. Except the dengas, if they're in good condition, they should sell those to rare coin collectors for on the order of 100,000 kopecks, which is an awfully large number for a five-year-old to be dealing with.

No. This is how you encourage kids who already love math. If they're not interested (yet), this is an awesome way to turn them off.

this is disturbing but i'm not surprised. Modi will go to any extend to keep his power. People often claim BJP (ruling party) has a weak opposition but if it's so weak why do they even care about spying on the opposition leader? No matter who comes to the top, they are going to be spyed on by this government which is a shame.

The legal proceedings that found insufficient evidence against Modi also had several flaws that benefited Modi. Call record metadata of BJP politicians just prior to the outbreak of violence was stopped from being produced in court. All this is part of public record and a part of Sanjeev Bhatt's petition to the court and murder of Modi's own state cabinet minister Haren Pandya who had testified Modi's involvement in Gujarat riots (these documents can be accessed and downloaded).

The senior police officer Sanjeev Bhatt, then serving as an intelligence officer had approached the court with evidence and allegations about Modi's direct involvement. The call records were suddenly lost. Bhatt was then convicted for life for a death of a person who died after being released post questioning. This death had happened some 20 years ago and Bhatt, then a newly minted police officer, had been cleared of responsibility at that time. This incident was dug up, case reopened and he was convicted. Judges in Indian courts are often bought, by money and by favors or by threats of harassments.

> when the latest was that tiktok was impacting national security.

Wait, it wasn't? I'm not sure why this is a controversial opinion. Social media has often been linked to information leakage. Geo tagging of photos was part of the proof that was used to show that Russia invaded Crimea. Similarly US soldiers have had their locations revealed when posting on Facebook/Twitter/Instagram. In fact if you're over seas and talking to your partner back home they generally have another soldier listening to the conversation. Given all this why is it surprising that a large social media platform that focuses on videos (which reveal more info), grabs a lot of data, and is connected to the US's largest geopolitical adversary is considered a threat?
Hospitalisation data not a reason to doubt the vaccine - its a risk, the older you get, the higher risk you are. A few highlights from the article:

> Sir Patrick Vallance said: "In terms of the number of people in hospital who've been double-vaccinated, we know it's around 60% of the people being admitted to hospital with COVID."

> "But the rates should be lower than they have been previously because of the protective effects of vaccination."

> He said this was not surprising "because the vaccines are not 100% effective".
This case will never go to court.
> When c reaches about 0.5e+6 times larger than a and b, FMA starts winning.

It should be noted that 1e+6 sticks out as right on the rounding limit of single precision floating point numbers, which is about 1e+7. Thus it suggests that the residue amplification from b ceases to be a problem once b simply falls out of the picture as it gets close to a roundoff error.

Therefore, this test isn't evaluating FMA as much as it is showcasing how floating point division amplifies numerical residues.

I try to make math fun in my house. A couple of things I’ve found that work:

1. Anytime there’s a “guess how many are in the jar” contest, I get my kids to use the appropriate formula for volume to see if they can guess the right answer. They usually get really close.

2. Show them how math helps them win at games. Monopoly is great for this where you can calculate the ROI for different properties on the board, how many houses are ideal, etc. you can go further with likelihood of landing on certain properties too.

It works. The hardest thing about math motivation as a kid is “where will I use this?”

Moneyball (movie) is a good one too.

3. Go through the documentation's getting started guide while following along

4. Immediately start building something with the new thing

I think the real question for me is, suppose you come into maintainership of a legacy application with 100k lines of untested code, where do you start? I think the classical TDD view is "every new change, you add a test for, and so test coverage grows over time."

And that's fine, but I think it's much more valuable before making any functional changes at all, to impose some high level smoke tests that run the entire thing, and do a handful of common, end to end user flows.

I agree that the author deserves some recognition for their interview social skill flex. I imagine most engineers would not perform real-time perspective taking in this situation. But should they? My takeaway is less pragmatic -- shouldn't those levying judgement during an interview be open to self-reflection? Can't an engineer be celebrated for being capable of learning something new in front of their manager? Shouldn't a manager be capable of understanding their employees are human? Shouldn't those involved in an interview process understand that architecture is far more complex than the cookie cutter representations some use to simplify it?
