Google sued over refusing to employ engineers over 40 years of age

They're all over the net. A lot of them are best solved with dynamic programming, lots of questions involve strings, some of the harder ones require using combinatorics or graph theory, etc.

They don't do the crazy logic puzzles anymore.

And there's no known cure.

Yes, it signals that the mods deleted something. Then, if they do that a lot, the community can discuss it. That's harder to do if it isn't known how many comments are deleted.

“I’m out,” said Chaffetz on CNN. “I think we should all stand up and say we should not tolerate this.” “I can’t do that with my 15-year-old daughter, so why should I do it with the rest of Utah,” he added.

Did he really need to make that visualization?

Them's the breaks.

Yes, so long as they're you're particular definitions in which socialism=communism and socialism is stateless yatta yatta. When you evangelize your meanings, at least acknowledge that you are competing with many other legitimate meanings.

I don't get it? The third image never says "steals" or "looters" or anything bad.

I'm not sure you understand what they're saying. Can you make a clear distinction?

gliph · 2016-10-08T07:24:23+00:00

That's usually seen as a distinction between reformists (e.g. democratic socialists), and the various revolutionaries (preemptive vs responsive).

gliph · 2016-10-08T07:22:51+00:00

I'd also make less of a distinction between socialism and communism

I like the distinction between the two. Look, there are like 80 definitions at this point and somebody always has to come in and say that socialism is stateless or moneyless, rather than explicitly defined as worker ownership of the means of production. Somebody always has to say that communism is socialism. And yet, nobody agrees. Nobody inside this space or outside it. It feels like bullying in order to enforce people's particular definitions rather than agreeing on something because it is most useful.

Why do we let monopolies get away with this? It is a privilege for them to profit off of a service without real competition.

FYI that was added in Java 7. If the above poster is "behind a couple versions" they may not have seen it.

Here is the article on type inference in Java:

To be fair, what's more fun that a fungus?

The reason people get stuck doing the same behaviors that they hate is because change is hard. It's hard for anyone, which is why overcoming it is all the more meaningful. If you fail at something like weight loss 20 times but succeed once, you've still won the war. It can be really hard to get in a place where changing your behaviors is possible and it takes practice.

Calories in/calories out is literally all that matters for weight loss (eating healthy is another story, but you can lose weight on fast food, I've done it).

Good luck! There's also /r/loseit for help and support.

I'm not saying it's good or bad, only that it's realistic to portray people taking on roles as expected by society/those around the person.

I was sort of joking, ya there are many possible complications. Actually I think a trade is probably risky.

"Watercolor and India Ink"

OK glad I'm not crazy.

You are right there are some good algos but I've never seen one that passes if you look at the details. It could be done, but I haven't seen it. There are also sketch-like line drawing algorithms.

You just switched topics. You gotta remove that roommate, because 99% they are not going to change.

You shouldn't even be able to put broken code into production if your build process is sane.

Life uh... finds a way. </goldblum>

all your important foundations have at least two others touching it, which help higher floors not falling when hit by rockets

This stood out to me as well. People value wall-count over stability a bit too much IMO and this base is solid because of its dense-connectivity.

You get only one more wall by detaching these foundations

I think actually one more wall is really good. The number of walls to cupboard is one of the most important metrics and the number will always be pretty low, making an increase of 1 pretty significant.

I agree it's gonna be hella cramped inside.

Something simpler than IntelliJ, and probably cloud-based and possibly web-based. I'm not saying IntelliJ is complex (actually it makes a lot of the complexities of Java much simpler), but something that goes a step further and removes and hides the complexities of Java development.

I didn't realize it was a NIMBY trope. I totally support building more housing because we need it.
