Wars, especially invasions, are devastating to prospering economies.

I'm no "expert" in history, but I strongly suspect the reason the industrial revolution started in Britain was because of its geography -- the sea provided protection against invaders. Its relatively small size also made governance relatively easy. (Larger empires frequently collapse upon themselves if mismanaged) While nations in continental Europe had to constantly deal with military threats, Britain just kept slowly chugging along until it got its chance: being an island country during the golden age of maritime trade.

Are you really arguing that all operators introduced a yearly fee of exactly the same amount, and in a very short period of time, was somehow perfectly balanced out by a drop in monthly rates, and on average nobody ended up paying more?

Literally no possible way Austrian grocery stores are pulling in 43% margins. That's more than Apple makes. I can't tell if this price fixing talk is the product of overactive imaginations or a gigantic lack of imagination.

If grocery stores were suddenly capable of 43 percent margins there would be absolute pandemonium in the markets and stocks would skyrocket. Retailers in every industry would be switching to food sales en masse. People would be flying food in by aircraft. You see just the opposite. Food retailers' stocks are down a lot year-to-date.
A basic Costco membership is $60. Their chicken is $5 + tax. Same chicken at Safeway is $8.99 + tax.

So if you eat >15 chickens per year Costco is cheaper.

And even that is incorrect. Costco's chicken is 32oz, the Safeway one 28. Forgetting about taxes, Costco's is $0.15625 / oz, Safeway is $0.3210714285714286 / oz.

So now we have 2 equations, and we need to find the intersection:

* y = 60 + x * 0.15625

* y = 0.3210714285714286 * x

They cross at 11.37594799566631 chickens.

But larger chickens have larger bones, so let's keep it at 15. I definitely eat more than 15 chickens per year.

Then there's the issue of cost in general, while the house-brands of Safeway / Frys / Kroger / ... are cheaper, they are much more likely to have stuff added to it to make it 'bulkier'. A good example is Cottage Cheese from Walmart. They add a thickener to the liquid which allows them to sell you the same amount for less, but you actually get less cheese and more filler.

> You have to do leetcode if you want any hope of being able to find a different job.

It's funny how much perspective can differ between people. I have 15 years and was asked to do leetcode type of question twice, both times I was interviewed by person with significantly less experience.

I was also on the other side of hiring table and was never, not even once, asking people to do leetcode stuff during interview. I had way more practical approach which was giving me all signals I needed.

Having said all of this, my hobby is codingame and I enjoy competetive programming myself, it's pure fun and I enjoy it a lot.

> You have to do leetcode if you want any hope of being able to find a different job. You have to be ready for that kind of question.

I disagree with that statement. You don't have to do leetcode, though it can be helpful if they have leetcode-style problems to get timed practice (not everyone is good at the 30-minute challenge under pressure; for some reason my general test anxiety, which interviews can bring out, doesn't apply to code tasks).

Learning and maintaining the fundamentals is sufficient (again, modulo the benefit of timed practice). Even for your problem, there are only three places that an action can be applied to a node when traversing a binary tree: before traversing the children, between traversing the children, and after traversing the children. The traversal code is otherwise the same (this also applies generally to any tree structure, it's not just a binary tree thing though "in-order" is ambiguous when you have more than two child nodes).

def traverse(node):
if not node: return # alternatively, this test can be applied to left/right before the recursive calls but requires also testing before the initial call
# pre-order
traverse(node.left)
# in-order
traverse(node.right)
# post-order

I've named them here, but those are the three positions you can put a print statement. Even if you don't have the time to work out which one is which, you only have three things to try. An important aspect of focusing on the fundamentals is recognizing why this traversal code is the same regardless of where the action will be placed: You're traversing a recursive data structure (`Node = None | (data: T, left: Node, right: Node)`), that in itself determines the fundamental recursive structure of the traversal code. This same approach can work with any recursive data type which mitigates the need to memorize any particular algorithm on specific recursive data types.

Almost every UI framework out there is single-threaded and has facilities to help offloading such tasks into the background. Usually, to a worker thread pool. It's a bit fiddly, especially in a non-managed language that doesn't protect from dumb mistakes, but it can be easily done.

io_uring is for use cases where the context switch overhead of system calls starts to matter. While async I/O can be justified for U/I programming, it's safe to say that a file manager won't ever benefit from io_uring.

This was turbocharged by court losses saying that cities had to serve all of their citizens. Many white people were okay living in the same city with brown people as long as there were white neighborhoods with schools, pools, etc. only used by white people. Once black (or on the west coast, Mexican) people were legally allowed to use them, some cities shutdown city pools and many people moved to suburbs where the infrastructure was technically open to all residents but since things like the design & covenants were created to limit who lived there, it was de facto segregated.

Imo a decent economics simulator is indistinguishable from a full physics simulator. There’s no other way to account for the actions of millions of independent actors with unique incentives.

Another way to put this is that the incentives in academia right now encourage "careerism", for lack of a better term. People have to put so much effort into maintaining their position that the actually big picture goals like research become difficult to do, especially when you have to show progress every quarter and funding is only given out in one to two year increments. Researchers end up playing it safe, because big risky ideas may pay off in five to ten years, but that kind of research is hard to fund on a yearly or even quarterly basis.

I'm arguing that after 2011 when the first operator introduced those fees, the cost of mobile phone plans decreased for many years until around 2019. It's also that not all operators introduced those fees and not all operators did at the same time. The main reason why many operators started charging with this fee structure is pretty obvious: it makes the monthly cost appear lower than it is. It's a form of sanctioned price in-transparency.

//EDIT: the main reason for the introduction of that Servicepauschale was that for a while internet service providers where required to participate in the now illegal "Vorratesdatenspeicherung". The pauschale was generally understood to cover the cost of the infrastructure for it.
