> Different projects depended on different versions of the same internal libraries, we had to...

This is one of the main motivations for using a monorepo with all third party dependencies imported all the way in, and only one version for everything.

Of course it causes a whole bunch of other problems and is kinda expensive to scale, so most places won't do it.

150 battleships?

Pretty sure the Spanish Armada was <150 total ships, of which only a small subset would be the big galleon things. (And then my knowledge hits a wall, idk what the difference between a galleon and ship-of-the-line/battleship is)

I'm not sure how much to trust the rest of that website.

Not an engineering position? What is your classifier based on? This doesn't seem super useful categorization

Unless the interviews are brought back onsite I guess

The vast majority of listings I scrolled through were jobs that wouldn't normally have a leetcode interview, given that, you know, they weren't jobs involving coding at all. Even when filtered to software development, the vast majority were not coding positions.

Any way to filter to that?

This looks like a self funded company. The founder is already a billionaire I guess.

(So transitively, funded by Plaid being a successful company in a similar space, and its founder then having capital to do other things)

I mean... yea we also have some shaky interpretations of the 1st amendment (see especially, assembly), 2nd, 5th (e.g. the incredible pressure for plea bargaining), 6th (which, paradoxically, is a major reason for aforementioned pressure on plea bargaining, so I kinda get it), 8th given how bad some prisons are, arguably 10th (even if I am personally not a fan of the 10th amendment so much), and arguably still the 15th (though it's obviously orders of magnitude better than the first 100 years of its existence).

And also various other parts of the construction, like the interstate commerce clause does some comically heavy lifting.

I know you were talking about a mountain or something, but "climb to <altitude>" does make one think about this exchange which would be in feet, not meters:

"climb to FL20 and the flying dinosaur thing will break" could work though

Since, annoyingly, international altitudes are done in increments of 1000 feet (ish, handwaving)

Not necessarily servers, just not into the register as a tracked transaction.

Tax fraud, essentially.

E.g. you go to the Minnesota State Fair, merchants may offer to not charge sales tax if you pay cash. It is shockingly brazen sometimes.

Extremely lax enforcement on the part of the specific US state's department of revenue

US Bank for a brief period opened up a 4% card, but then closed it so quick that obviously the numbers didn't work out there.

2% seems to be a local maximum of cashback cards. There's a lot of 2% cards, and only a handful above that.

Makes sense?

27 tonnes of gold fits in a single container. You're talking about like 1 or 2 cubic meters of gold (for comparison, a standard 2TEU container is like 50+ cubic meters). And that'll fit as a partial payload in a single military transport aircraft. The actual flying of the gold isn't super interesting (not like there's roving piracy in the air), but the logistics of how it would securely get from NYC to airport etc is kinda cool.

From the article it sounds like they moved 27 tonnes, not 86. (Most gold "moves" are just selling in one location and buying in the new, and eating the spread. Eventually I guess there's math showing the spread is large enough it's worth moving)

But yes, would be a cool read on the logistics.

I don't know anything about the last 8 years of chess engines, but yea maybe 8-10 years ago AlphaZero shit all over e.g. stockfish.

It depends what on what you're growing.

With roses, a significant % of manual time is spent fighting aphids

No, OCaml

Think node, except the other direction. They write their backend in OCaml, and then they also write their web ui in OCaml with a translation layer

Or think of gwt (java) awhile back

Fair point

I guess JS doesn't have to care about this at all because they're not selling their UI to others, just making it in house for in house use

That is a cool visualization.

Punched in my grandparents' town and a bunch of the slices stretched 1500km over three states away. A lot of the US is big and empty.

This is not exactly a new criticism. See e.g. Fisk's complaint from decades ago r.e. "US Officials Say"

Sustain

in college a good friend was a very good Oud player (plucked, some number of strings.... more than 8? I forget), and it definitely sounds different from guitar due to less sustain. Clearer notes and chords, but they don't linger as long or loud.

Edit: apparently it's 11 strings? ok.

pulling

Notably, he was kept in the US, not sent to prison in another country?

I would classify 290 miles as a very short flight, that's like 1-2 hours or something?

So far as I can figure, it would not haha. There's a reason why it's still just a hypothetical on my backburner of interview questions

But you have to think about something after hours of brio.

While similarly playing brio with a two year old, I thought about a different dimension not mentioned here - super loose tolerances make the search space really weird.

In true 2-year-old fashion, my kid would bend the rules as much as possible by literally forcing pieces to the edge of their tolerance to make things fit that shouldn't fit. 8 piece circle yea, cool, but with a sufficiently old brio set handed down for 40 years or whatever, you can totally make a 7 piece "circle" thing.

So I decided some day I'll craft an interview question out of that, to see if people can figure out a good way to map a set of pieces laid out with given tolerance ranges for piece, see if it can connect, etc. Haven't thought about it enough to really polish it for an interview, but some day.

Moore's law for 10-15 years was more like 20-100x ram sizes, not 2-4x.

Performance, storage, etc is definitely getting better, but it's a different scale of improvement

Free float rule was pretty low already for ftse, yea? Like we went through this with aramco still has free float under 3%, yet it's in vxus.

And the geography (especially in the more populated areas) is like 60-70% mountains and hills and shit. Australia has significantly more flat land for easy solar builds, with 1/50th the population.

Well for their sake hopefully it's just September and not Eternal September.

Sure, so what? If OP is a girl and is obviously writing an article about her own interests, what does it matter?

Wait beer in the UK is 11 quid per pint??? I know UK pints are bigger, but that seems really pricey
