I had this in an interview (back '96). Came up with a linear time constant space solution: create a new node, push it on the front, reverse the list, check if the 1st node is the same one you pushed, if so it has a loop, otherwise it

This is a far better 'culture' document then the Airbnb don't fuck up the culture memo. It speaks to an important and specific norm for programmers. Plus, it doesn't read like the setup for a Greek tragedy, where hubris

6.002 midterm at MIT in 91 had a problem trivial to solve with a Laplace transform ... Actually it had a couple. Of course Laplace transforms would be taught in the second half. The few students who already knew the transform or somehow k

I use the mailbox iPhone app. The killer feature for me is that I can snooze an email. It's close to ideal for me. This ability to show multiple inboxes on the desktop might be an interesting tool to add visibility to something on a

That specific premise is false. An alternate use case does not provide a -meaningful- floor for any store of value. Tulips still have an alternate use case. I'd claim Krugman is arguing against cryptocurrency in general rather than Bi

Ack ... I'm largely ignorant of the details of go other than its original positioning. Do the semantics of go constrain gc implementation in such a way that it precludes low latency? Or is it just not a focus of the implementors?

It is a systems language. The competitors are c, c++, go, and D. Within Microsoft it's just c and c++. Competition with Java is irrelevant, c# already occupies that space. Microsoft has enough need and scale that a systems languag

If I understand correctly the independent third party is only needed in a dispute. If the buyer and seller are happy then completing the transaction does not require action by anyone else. This delays payment until 2 of the three parties s

The top dev ladder rung is Technical Fellow (promotion from distinguished engineer.) Except for Dave Cutler, who is a 'senior technical fellow' ... which is the exact same level with a different name.

Antonio Damasio is a neuroscientist. He has a theory of consciousness explained in a book called the feeling of what happens. The somatic marker hypothesis is a bit more than 'it emerges from neural activity' At the very minimum

Ambiguity is something a programmer needs to deal with at work. Riddles are not. Open ended questions are exactly what you want to use to evaluate someone. Riddles fail because there is an expected answer, not because the form of the que

Does xbmc stream to an Xbox? Or is the name unrelated to the game device? It doesn't really say. The article seems to argue i should switch from my current windows media center then goes on to ask which half of what it already does do I wa

In the long run, different people reap the benefits. I don't see his proposed solution as practical, but denying the problem won't make it disappear. My understanding of the thesis is that large groups of people will be left with only obs
