    Interesting! But I think $70k salary for early employees is not realistic. They will probably take $10k-$20k less than market price for significant shares.

    One of my friend came up with this solution: m is missing,d is duplicate. I is 1..N, A is input. Step 1: Compute m XOR d by XOR all values of A and I together. let say x = m XOR d.…

    OK. I think I find a way around. Assume d XOR m = a. Find k = position of the first bit (from MSB to LSB) in a. Then d + m can be in [a + 2^(k+1),a + 2^(k+2),...,a + 2^63]. We will…

    Make sense! That fails my solution!

    Comment #2478099

    There are at most 2 solutions: if m XOR d = a then either m+d = a or m+d = a+N. With the combination of m-d = b, you will find m and d. If both of them satisfied ( remember m and d…

    This is the solution I posted there: Called the missing number m, duplicate d. The main idea is to find m+d and m-d. Then it’s trivial to find m and d. 1) Find n XOR d: X_array = 1…

    For every open position, they will bring in onsite about 10 people. And most of those 10 are pretty good too. So you had to make a very good impression with the interviewer to make…

    I think you left the interviewers some bad impressions about your technical skills. Blame the interviewers throw easy questions at you and think that it's all they get is blatantly…

    One stark difference between programmers in the east and west is that in the east, people tend to stay in one company much longer. I think that effectively limit their development.…

    JVM is written in C/C++ so technically Java cannot be faster than C/C++ because everything in Java are (direct / indirect) products of C/C++. :)
