Adding to the other reply.

If the package is in Ubuntu Main repository (https://ubuntu.com/blog/ubuntu-updates-releases-and-reposito...), it is maintained by Canonical engineers for LTS. Ubuntu Universe gets security fixes for up to 10 years as part of the Ubuntu Pro offering, which is where most of the upstream Debian packages are.

A package from Ubuntu can be removed using the following process, Anyone can file a request. https://canonical-ubuntu-project.readthedocs-hosted.com/stag... (note: the url will move to documentation.ubuntu.com domain)

Debian also has https://qa.debian.org/popcon.php?package=openssl, but it does not mean that a package with very low popularity should be removed.

Writing any dialect of lisp for a side project qualifies.

OK. you mean result might overflow. Can't we handle it somehow? like a flag or something.. what solution(different function signature) do you propose?

"You could have ruled it out from the function signature alone" - kindly elaborate.

I don't think you are supposed to "prepare".

Make sure interviewer understands what you already know or can learn quickly if its something specific that job requires.

If you have to prepare for that role.. you are probably not a good fit. move on...

*Of course its a different matter altogether if you are fresh out of school.
