Have you considered strategic/management consulting in the medical field. I know the big 4 will have specialists focusing on this - possibly related to the healthcare setup in your…

Tangential but it does irk me when these online streaming summary statistics algorithms come up in interviews. Most recently I had Welford's for online estimation of variance/std o…

So... in English... for us mere mortals with limited Linux kernel exposure... does this accelerate (or decelerates) the system clock or is it a mock patching for system time functi…

I was about to fly off the handle until I realised your sarcasm.

TLDR: took out a loan to amass a large put position then tried to plummet the underlying stock price which gives him the right to sell once it's below the strike. http://www.telegr…

So how is this different from Airflow, other than Windows compatibility and a lack of dashboard?

>>I started out learning programming using Python and gradually came to prefer strongly typed languages. Python IS strongly typed. It is also dynamically typed.

Is it just me that is jaw-droppingly astounded at why this is getting any love at all as a concept? Really great execution and design, but I simply cannot get on board with the con…

Yes, certainly has a great reference of circuitry but absolutely not pedagogical. That dull grey hardbound cover shudders .

Not possible as zero mutual friends, unless second degrees are considered which based on all other suggestions is not the case and would naively scale factorially (?).

Thanks for reading my post and noting this. I'm not sure the reverse relation applies either as it would require the doctor to have my personal contact on her mobile which is absol…

Thanks for your reply but I have no idea why this is the top voted reply as it does not consider my factors . As noted by others: 1) The doctor/practice does not have my latest mob…

I never use Facebook on my phone so you can hopefully rule out contact list networks - not that I ever had their personal mobile on my list - and location tracking because I haven'…

I've no doubt that tech is discriminatory - as a minority myself I've definitely experienced odd feedback at interviews "the team were impressed by your abilities but we've decided…

Really, I've had an example of deriving (I didn't know what it was called at the time) Manacher's Palindromic substrings: http://www.geeksforgeeks.org/manachers-algorithm-linear-ti…

So your ability in a pressured limited-time environment come up with an O(N) dynamic programming algorithm for a fictitious scenario is a testament to your ability as a software en…

>>degree-less candidates, companies that filter out depressed candidates, companies that filter out transgender candidates, etc. Sorry, these are completely different things and fr…

Sadly the proliferation of sites like HackerRank (YC funded shamefully) means competitive programming is the first "filter" stage for interviews these days.

What is this? Just because it has Google in it you expect me to provide my credentials to sign-in without any description of what you are offering? Assuming this is a Google produc…

Probably a brilliant move for humanity. Most extreme right, KKK, nazi, Breitbart, Stormfront ilk trolls would boycott Twitter in protest, finally allowing some semblance of rationa…

Can I ask - why is it you always spell it as "AfriKan" in all your submissions? Is there a cultural awareness I am lacking?

I always appreciate a healthy dose of sarcasm, but I think you're missing the wider point about the great community we have in Python - not only in terms of the ecosystem, but also…

I think the question everyone is failing to ask is: what's the interview process like? Do they put you through 4 rounds of whiteboard coding bullshit followed by a coding assessmen…

The cynical side of me interprets this as: you can leave if you don't like it.

As an aside, the greatest thing about Python is StackOverflow one-liner solutions to common problems. How do you find your developer productivity fares in Go? To take a simple exam…
