not convincing. (horizontal) scalability comes at cost, but it changes size of the problem we can handle considerably.

thank you very much! pointer to the home page would suffice. your willingness to walk an extra mile (and copy relevant text) is much appreciated. as i mentioned, i read home page y…

It is called the honor system. But you're right: some people... And no, Project Euler does not demand. You can be sure, nobody is going to be sued. It asks politely to show respect…

Apparently I do not keep up with times. I read the rules some 15 years ago last time. :-( If you can provide a link, I would be really grateful!

Project Euler is collection of puzzles based on math. The coding and designs skills are completely secondary to the math. The algorithms (except for computational number theory, co…

I find it rather annoying and irrespectful for Project Euler. They specifically ask not to publish solutions. Some other collection could be used for demonstration of skills and la…

There is a lot of harm: 1. In order to get a job, a person need to quit one. If there is a risk (in form of trial period), why to accept such an offer? As result, best candidates p…

> there's still absolute value in returning to office because it promotes a sense of community and networking. Without data it is religion. Even sect. If you want to insist, provid…

1. Inertia. It is difficult to switch measurement in people's heads. For example, I grew up in metric environment, but I did not drive car. So for me, local sizes are in meters, bu…

A mechanical watch is a piece of jewelry. As such, it subject of fashion whims, fragility and limitations. But, what a pleasure! I enjoy beauty of my skeleton. The tourbillon is ab…

This is not about devastating effect. As adults, we take responsibility for our choices.

let's split it: and . These two cover significant portion of population to have intersection as a majority. The same way one can talk about , or any other. To call it one would nee…

The most worrying part is equaling respect of personal preferences with inclusive culture. ("I cannot participate in conversation, so there should be no this conversation") Others …

Nice to meet you. I am completely un-Ruby Pythonista, and I like Elixir a lot. I felt the same way as topic starter, and I invested couple months to make several tools Elixir-nativ…

> Disagreeing with social norms doesn't strike me as humble. we're leaving in different social circles... so it is totally possible that the norm i see differs from yours. I worked…

It is so pleasant and so rare to agree with people these days. I agree with you. It is signal for me. My interview consists of many areas beyond coding. But coding is one I explore…

It could be the case. The question is, how to distinguish one who can get up to speed quickly from one who cannot. In the end, there are expectations of the engineer, and expectati…

I humbly disagree. Experience means nothing. The ranking is defined by how capable engineer is. Do not get me wrong. Title != ranking either. There is no industry-wide agreement wh…

Very true. I totally agree with you. :-) I tried to highlight most common problem I see during interview, not judge specific people, or even less people category.

I am coding for 40+ years... My experience: * out of college people remember theory, cannot code. * mid-level engineers start to forget theory, can code, begin system-wide design. …

Tesla. Tesla provide service through the phone app only. The app is extremely slow, the fonts are small (almost unreadable). It is hardly fun to print on the phone. The app does no…
