You are missing the point that a director level resource, could only apply to a relatively smaller number of roles. Entry level IC might not be worth applying. So despite what they…

Thats certainly invalid. People with 20 years of experience or more, are asked questions based upon the role they are interviewing for. If you are applying for a principal or highe…

Every body is asked some thing close enough. At higher levels, often focus is not on coding, but enough depth of design where a person of such profile might end up educating the in…

Was searching dependency injection today and ran into cmd prompt like env in browser asking you to solve a list of challenges in order. Apparently you can only attempt those if goo…

for the senior C++ engineers and the likes, any chance for visa cum relocation?

The last part might not be true. Though i won't generalize, let's just say that i have been writing industry code for almost a decade, 90% C (because of domain) and at least a quic…

Well coming from an industry c programmer (embedded, networking, high throughput stuff, where c is the only choice), i am really thinking this could be of a great use. Specially fo…

you said must be eligible to work in Canada. Do you mean that you cannot process people who are say on closed work permit in Canada and would need a new permit to work for you?

Until we find a way to truly achieve network neutrality which also means (from service provider's perspective) to throttle and keep in reasonable usage limit applications such as v…

He has great insights and uses classical analogies to explain ideas. Here is his stackoverflow profile http://stackoverflow.com/users/88656/eric-lippert containing a lot of answers…

Moreover, the concept is quite abstract and has many similar applications. I used to work in a scenario when there was a specific gateway resource that was needed to be run by ever…

The best I think that can be done is to tell objectively why you didn't fund a company so either they focus on resolving those issues or at worst quit asap or move to a new idea. I…

I beg to differ on this point. Embedded software development in general needs more of core CS/CE curriculum than any normal application development does (web, desktop, mobile). You…

Skiena has a very different style of introducing algorithmic problems. Generally all comprehensive books tend to follow a pattern. Never have i seen a book in which while just bein…

I never tried stating it was hard, or making it look like it is main stream. I just said that depending upon the domain you work in, Algorithms and data structures might be more im…

Really? may be you didn't have an actual example so had to get sarcastic about it. So let me put a real scenario here. How about a gateway device receiving some minor 3-4 millions …

I sort of agree to most. Being able to write recurrence out of master theorem is never kind of thing really needed here. Even if you know conceptually the running time of a loop (n…

Depending upon what sort of industry and scale you write code for, very often, it is a HUGE part. I accept the point that over optimizing is the root of all evil and the rest of th…

You might be working in a scenario where you can't just look those things up. You have to code them through. Learning them then through general concept AND THEN implementing is too…

For all the arguments against the algorithmic type questions - i would add that in my ~16000 hours of professional programming, i have had to worry about O(n) to choosing Hash tabl…

Oh, so you mean the openbsd version doesn't suffer from these issues / features? :) I would definitely like to take a look. Thanks

Apparently, most of the ones categorized hard seem to be some thing related to hardware i.e. not a software mistake of some programmer. I would narrate a couple which were not the …

As long as there was competition, they were forced to maintain standards as well as individuality to retain separate policies. From a contractor's perspective only on one site, it …

Just to balance the concept, usually people who have maintained good ratings for a long time, don't do this. I have worked for like 5-6 years at odesk part time, done around 40 job…
