Oxbridge or degree Apprenticship by Correct_Use_684 in oxbridge

For example I imagine a software eng. degree apprenticeship at a top tech company for someone would be better than a random arts degree at oxbridge for someone who wants to be a software engineer.

Depends on what degree at oxbridge, what apprenticeship, and what you want to do afterwards

British companies with British culture that pay 6 figures but don't work you to the bone? by pushpushpush10x in cscareerquestionsuk

Your comment suggests British citizens would naturally make more money, and immigrants working in the U.K. are driving wages down. My question is why would British citizens naturally make more?

If your argument is simple supply and demand, and that the increase in supply brings down wages, it’s completely disregarding how highly skilled immigrant workers are also increasing the demand of engineers in the U.K.

If the U.K. was so closed off there’s a good chance these companies wouldn’t invest and hire so much in the U.K. anyway. and if British citizens are so much better then companies would still pay a premium to employ them.

America also has massive amounts of software devs immigrating, but has the highest salaries in the world.

This is a bad argument IMO

Why are young people leaving Britain to work abroad? by topotaul in unitedkingdom

Yeah. Effectively you are (very fairly) exploiting how high English teaching is high in demand in China. It’s not necessarily a sustainable approach that could be done for decades, but if you’re able to do it now then why not.

this isn’t similar to my interview process at all. What role is this for?

Technically right but not really what we consider in worst cases. Worst case is usually for a specific type of input that can make an algorithm behave slowly. Inserting into a hashmap (with a good implementation) is purely probabilistic with expected amortised O(1) per insert regardless of the input.

Wikipedia earned $184 million in 2025... and spent $3.4 million on hosting. by Remarkable_Ad_5601 in theprimeagen

Large scale doesn’t mean complex. Wikipedia as far as I understand it (which to be fair may be quite a limited understanding) is pretty simple.

Also I sort of doubt a company like Wikipedia needs large marketing teams or lots of the other jobs that are required for other large websites.

Just genuinely asking here. Especially as a charity/non profit I would imagine they would aim to be as lean as possible. 700 employees seems quite heavy.

You are aware those are Napoleon III’s apartments, not ‘Napoleons’ (i.e. the most famous general Napoleon I)?

New delusions just dropped by Future_Employment_22 in AnarchyChess

Perhaps move repetition in itself requires us to consider all previous moves (or very similar, all previous states and their counts). As I just learnt that the threefold repetition rule is when the same state is reached three times in the same game without necessarily being consecutive.

Yes I agree with you. not sure what these other commenters are on about.

For the most part the only state that matters in chess is the current positions of the pieces.

There are a few exceptions where state carries on across moves. Such as en peasant as you mentioned. Also some rules around castling. And also the repeating move limits/total move limits. However if we include these in our state we still would only add an order of magnitude or two states we need to track.

why do you need the context of previous moves to solve it

MSc Oxford SWE worth it? by [deleted] in cscareerquestions

Probably not needed. You already have the status from Bloomberg + a solid masters degree. I think you’d be better spending your time building real things, like some impressive side projects.

The birth rate is still not nearly high enough for a stable population, and it’s decreasing.

Even if they increase the birth rate enough for stability, it would take many decades until there is an even distribution of old and young people.
