This is not correct. Non NYC residents with NYS source income do not pay NYC (resident) tax, But they do pay NYS tax. See https://www1.nyc.gov/site/finance/taxes/personal-income-tax-...

I’m often disappointed by how disrespectful people can be in programming discussions. It’s one thing to discuss tradeoffs but ridiculing peoples’ choices or speaking in absolutes is not helpful. There’s no One True Way to program.

> huge amount of pent up demand for senior developers But is leetcode really the way to find them?

by tomnj 6y ago
You can work hard at things other than leetcode though, like actual jobs, personal projects, or learning tech in your field (web frameworks, programming languages, whatever).

And C is still king in many domains, eg embedded development.

by tomnj 6y ago
There are plenty of reasons to still learn C even if better alternatives exist for most new projects. There’s so much important software out there in C (and C++), for example the Linux kernel.

Allow me to rephrase then: while the overall population density of the US is low, we have some pretty large dense areas, including Southern California and the northeast megalopolis

Absolutely, but to say medical staff can’t get or spread flu is false

Anyone can get the flu, even those with flu shots

You don’t need sfinae to get Turing completeness of templates. Template specialization (a crude form of pattern matching) is the main driver for Turing completeness. For example, here’s a toy project to implement a subset of scheme lisp in

I haven’t understand the details, but supposedly Java generics are also Turing complete: https://arxiv.org/pdf/1605.05274.pdf

Does something about this sound wrong to googlers?

I greatly enjoy the absurdity of this: Xoogler rejected own packet (while at msft, presumably) https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22345234

Not scapegoating anything, nor do I think it’s reasonable to expect interviews are not stressful.

Maybe FAANG should institute random DS&A tests for all employees and fire underperformers as potential false positives. /s

Don’t forget 4) find the optimal solution with very few hints and write that too.

> Leetcode style systems are a lot of fun for people. That’s not true for everyone, especially in such high stress situations as an interview. I like crosswords, but I wouldn’t want to do them in front of someone judging me for a job in

Here’s an Xoogler talking about how he was given his own hiring packet to review (without knowing it was his) and rejected it: https://m.youtube.com/watch?feature=youtu.be&v=r8RxkpUvxK0&t...

At least in the case of overflow, the article mentions a few arguments: “”” This direction was motivated by: Performance concerns, whereby defining the behavior prevents optimizers from assuming that overflow never occurs; Implementation le

That’s correct, and it’s quoted in JF’s paper linked above: “ The main change between [P0907r0] and the subsequent revision is to maintain undefined behavior when signed integer overflow occurs, instead of defining wrapping behavior.”

Out of curiosity, why wouldn’t that be a taxable perk? (Not that I think tax codes make any sense)
