This is the exact opposite of my experience at AWS. Amazon is all about blameless fact finding when it comes to root cause analysis. Your company just hired a not so great engineer…

Looks like something common between the control plane and data plane failed or there is a run-time dependency between the two (bad!) and that dependency failed.

I don't believe 2.5 hours is representative, so please cite these studies. Personally,senior engineers (individual contributors) that I have worked with spend 4-6 hours per day mak…

Towers of Hanoi problem (simple version with 3 towers) is a good practical recursion problem that is stimulating and good for visualization.

This summer my kids (elementary & middle school) did the Intro to JS and Advanced JS courses. They really got hooked due to interactive creativity and video lessons. The audio narr…

I hear there is a river named Amazon in Southern Hemisphere and there are people landing in Seattle for river expeditions.

All I see in your argument is preconceived opinions with speculative statements and nothing to back them up. Sorry but you did not add anything to this discussion, not even in the …

You are assuming that their Business model is to profit from the difference in cost of shipping and prime subscription revenue. Rather than profit from a higher purchase volume if …

Right!!!

Wish I could upvote more than once.

Ditto. Definitely seems like it has the potential to be the Killer app based on the viral potential of P2P, anonymity and widely adapted OS platform. All the best.

That is fantastic info about actual execution, many congratulations to you. It will be great if you could please share your age group range (very roughly; 20+, 30+, 40+ etc). Just …

Start with www.coursera.org. There, you will find classes with varying degree of difficulty. If you can, audit a computer science class in the nearby college/university. Build some…

I agree with the other observations here that the timings aren't even in the ballpark. For North Denver Metro area, it is displaying 50-60mins for places that are 25 mins away in r…

+1. OpenPhoto offers the freedom of storing my photos in the storage I own and it is something I really care about. Besides, it is an open source project. I can even run my own ser…

This is a nice idea executed well. Don't stop here.

While you mentioned that you would like to know more details, at the same time you make it sound like you know the current inner workings of how Microsoft spam filters work. Do you…

Agree with m0th87. Right after my undergrad, I worked in the industry for 5 years and then went to Grad school. Since completing the grad school it has been 10 more years in the in…

It is unfortunate that instead of turning into a discussion about how to excel in an algorithms interview (which is what the original post is about) this thread has wandered into w…

Have you ever experienced coworkers discussing something in front of the computer and touching the monitor screen time and again to point out things? It is not the most popular use…

Yes. With the eclipse.ini changes alone mine starts in 6 seconds now instead of 30+ seconds. Intel Core 2 Duo P8400 CPU, 4 GB DDR3 RAM.

I agree. I was very skeptical about having a "Windows" OS slapped on the touch devices, but after seeing this first video I would say that it doesn't look bad. Lack of complexity i…
