It's a mix of what you just said, and many more. But besides that, I work there because I actually believe that the company still does a lot of good. And from what I can tell, most people around me do too.

In order to learn something, one does not just invest time, but energy. It's way easier to play than to practice deliberately.

The percentage of immigrants living in a country is a result of a long term process. I believe that what we are discussing right now is the 'refugee' crisis.

Just to be clear, I'm not saying that Switzerland is unfriendly. I'm saying that it's less friendly than the countries mentioned in the comment. That's because I believe they are too friendly. Last time I was in Zurich

C++ has lots of issues, most of them due to backward compatibility and versatility. Also, the language is very complex and enormously hard to master. I've used C++ for quite a while and everybody I know who used the language for at lea

The union-find data structure (the idea is so simple and a sophisticated analysis yields a really low upper bound). RMQ with linear preprocessing and constant time queries (which is also true for multi-dimensional cases, if the dimension is

The only thing that comes to my mind might be "Discrete Mathematics" by Ross, Wright. This is quite a heavy book and you don't need to go through all of it, but there are some chapters that might be really useful (the one abo

When I started learning low level programming, I've studied C and x86 assembly simultaneously. This gave me a somewhat broader perspective. From my experience with learning Rust, it might be a little hard to grasp both "the low le

When the codebase is so big and you're hiring so many engineers it might be actually a good idea to have such an extensive style guide.

The big companies never really stop hiring, so there's no point to close a job posting.

I would actually recommend reading "So Good They Can't Ignore You" by Cal first. This book made me comfortable with the idea that deep work is what really matters. And although I understood that very feel, things tend to stic

I think that this is interesting question. It has been already pointed out, that cooking/eating at home is not just a way to provide fuel for your body. There are many other reasons, like: - pure fun - social activity - adjusting the m

I have read Cal's Newport new book about Deep Work ( http://calnewport.com/books/deep-work/ ) and have been trying to adapt some of the strategies from it. So far I see positive results (less time spent working

I suggest you don't start reading about writing compilers if you know only C-derivatives. As for the choice of a functional language for a beginner, I think you just should pick whatever has better introductory materials available. You

I believe there is a big difference between Y combinator and Dijkstra. In the former case, it could be harder.

I'd add to the third point: if you see a good solution, go for it and tell your colleagues about it.

I think that the first paragraph should be like this: Do you understand, why we're using second normal form? Do you understand why all mu-recursive functions can be formed from those three basic functions? Do you understand, why A* wor

Bad things happen to employees. Every employer has to be prepared for that. I see no reason to say about your condition during an interview, if they don't specifically ask. Good luck.
