    Answering a technical question takes more time and effort than making general comments.

    Ok sure. This explains a lot. If that's the problem you're getting, then it is indeed testing basic programming skills. But the general landscape has gone far beyond this. Nowadays…

    I'm assuming you have never needed to practice these problems as you already have basic programming skills and are thus able to do every Leetcode Hard within 30 minutes of first se…

    In those subjects they choose different units so that the speed of light is 1 of that unit, but it still has that unit associated to it. So it is not dimensionless.

    The speed of light has units. The fine structure constant is a dimensionless quantity, like pi.

    I highly recommend watching this video: https://youtu.be/Kvh4D_osFXs Sunlight gives us vitamin D and nitric oxide (which improves blood flow and reduces hypertension). Vitamin D is…

    The thirst mechanism becomes less reliable with age, so older people may find those products beneficial. But yes, for most healthy young to middle aged people, "drink when you're t…

    I think it's specific to web development, in particular it tests for performance under user load.

    It's generally pretty rare for a market maker to lose money over a whole year. Colour me surprised.

    Facebook's tendency to display content which reflect more extreme versions of the opinions that the user already has is probably a sizeable force behind our societies growing divis…

    There's a spectrum of roles. The role you describe is that of a trader at the extreme end (little coding ability required, manual monitoring of strategies/opportunities). But there…

    Most fruit are nowhere near as healthy as most people expect they are. They have been selectively bred over many hundreds of years to be far larger, sweeter and more devoid of micr…

    Correct. Perhaps even more important than vitamin D is nitric oxide. The summarised advice is to avoid the sun when it is high in the sky (noon-ish), get some sun in the mornings/e…

    Too much Vitamin D without sufficient Vitamin K can lead to high levels of serum calcium that are not absorbed into the bones. One function of Vitamin K is to shuttle calcium into …

    Vitamin D has a relatively long half life in the body, so taking a large dose weekly results in essentially the same bodily concentration as taking smaller doses daily. Some people…

    Another way to reduce the acidity is to mix in ground up egg shells into the ground coffee. As you brew this mixture, the calcium carbonate of the egg shells (alkaline) partially n…

    I'll take a stab at it (sorry if I'm not getting to the heart of your question and wrote about things you're already familiar with). I think there are two key levels of understandi…

    Not allowing multi-line lambdas is beneficial for code readability. If your lambda needs multiple lines, you should write a function.

    It's useful when the object being assigned to those variables are literals instead of reference types, which in my experience is most of the time when you want to do the simultaneo…

    This will never be settled. I know professional developers who regard the recursion section of their algorithms classes as academic masturbation and a waste of time because you sho…

    Maybe I am misremembering the roadmap but 3nm mass production by 2022 sounds surprisingly quick to me. How will they recoup their investment into the 5nm chips they are developing …
