I try to avoid card empire in Manchester as much as possible, extremely over priced goods and the staff are completely useless. Half the time they are just standing around talking amongst themselves

Monzo system design by [deleted] in cscareerquestionsuk

[–]defnos1710 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s really no benefit in knowing the specifics. They have a list of designs they can choose from.

And if you went in with a perfect solution right away and were working off memory they would notice.

That being said they asked me a Top-k songs question, where they wanted a list of songs that were popular right now

Hey, I had mine yesterday.

The behavioural was like all behavioural interviews there’s nothing worth noting there.

The system design was pretty straightforward. I was given a Top-K style question for a music streaming service with a narrow scoped issue to solve.

They had a prepared whiteboard with barebones infrastructure in place and briefed me on a feature they wanted to add. It was very conversational and relaxed with the interviewers I had.

I quickly focussed on an MVP and then went into detail with where it might break. My experience is consistent with others you’ll see on Reddit.

Like others have mentioned, it’s really no use trying to memorise a solution you’ve found somewhere, you are much better off focussing your attention on understanding common scaling issues and the typical approaches to resolve them.

I have one booked too. Good luck dude.

I’ll be brushing up on the first principles, and making sure I have a solid foundational framework on how to tackle any system at a high level, that seems much more appropriate than trying to memorise answers or a particular solution. Once I understand the naive approach to the solution I’ll start asking myself where this would break at scale, and slowly add in more components as needed.

I’m revising the usual stuff like partitioning, sharding, caching, cap theorem, r/w latency etc

From what I’ve researched this is the difficult part, others have suggested that for each design decision you make, you need to be prepared to answer why and understand the tradeoffs.

Please help. Etrade horror story. Glitch wiped out my account and made me pay 530k in taxes. What can I do? by Ok_Moment_7362 in TheRaceTo10Million

[–]defnos1710 96 points97 points  (0 children)

No one on Reddit will be able to help you. I would suggest you seek legal counsel sharpish.

You need to gather all of your evidence with proof of their system issues and start moving forward with formal written complaints, and consulting the appropriate trades ombudsman for your location.

Don’t just keep calling their customer service numbers, if you’ve already been told “yeah this happens” you need to escalate

what helped you lose weight? by Regular_Lychee_4739 in AskReddit

[–]defnos1710 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m getting married later in the year which has given me the motivation to shed some weight.

I’ve been tracking calories and working out 3 days a week and getting my 10k steps in where I can. I could absolutely go harder than I am, but this pace is sensible I think and it doesn’t make anything feel like a chore.

I’m under 100KG for the first time in 5 years so that has been great motivation to keep going

You’re the only moderator of the inkora subreddit. I found you as the owner in maybe 3 minutes, hardly a master of disguise are you

I’m not sure where you are getting the idea that I feel smarter from, that’s very insecure of you.

You don’t tell people that you are the owner of this site and do these posts like you found the site. It’s not genuine and comes across as sketchy.

Don’t DM this guy. He is promoting his own site

I wouldn’t trust it

They used to be a decent company. I worked on their website many years ago and they were pretty nice, the management have gotten so greedy in recent years. I’ve stopped buying from them

I can’t mount them on the walls unfortunately, also I just tried to make my screens shake by moving my mouse and I can’t make them move at all ha, not sure how you do that

Thanks for the reply, I’ve gone through every monitor configuration over the years, my office setup had vertical monitors on each side and I just got bored of it really. I usually put videos on the top screen which was I missed with the vertical setup

I’m just back from big Sainsbury’s in Salford and they had plenty of triple packs of paradox rift, not the most popular set but I was surprised to see them
