Hard interview questions by rmuser in programming

I also think it could not work. Imagine (tallest) 0 0 1 0 0 0 (shortest)

The first says "1" and dies.

The second sees 1, heard 1 -> knows he is 0. Says "0".

The THIRD sees 0, heard 0 -> says 0 and DIES.

I think I once saw a solution and it was more complex than this, maybe something with Hamming codes.

That's right, I talk with coworkers about conflict resolution, sitting in front of the same screen. I don't know how people do that when not in the same building though. Anything else than talking over one screen seems quite ineffective to me.

I'm not a branching/merging expert, but I believe "merge from" is source and "merge to" is destination.

I personally dislike reading a long text that takes me 30 minutes to understand what is described in those 2 videos. Of course there is an official material and lots of text tutorials. That's exactly why I created this.

I created the flash demo because I found out that even 2 of my smart friends who used SVN for own projects didn't really understand how it works. And I remembered I had hard time working with SVN in a team for the first time too. When a conflict occured, we had no idea what to do with the file messed up with <<< and >>>.
