The Empire State Building level was very satisfying to pass.

I just didn't like that you had to use your camera. Oh well I only gave them my ceiling and shutterstock pictures.


The camera one is optional.


And your geolocation.


The camera part was actually my favourite


That Elon/Twitter part was really out of place, like a VPN ad integration in the middle of a Youtube video. Attributing the rise of wokeness to students becoming deans and administrators sounds kinda dubious but maybe, he could use more evidence there.

Otherwise a great piece.


If one can choose A or B, can always change A to B if one wants but can never go from B to A, the choice is kinda obvious I think.


The most surprising thing is Billie Eilish letting them use her name for this. Even if she's legally insulated, still looks like a very bad PR.


As any worthwhile piece of advice, this post is not saying "Do good things, don't do bad things" but instead "Prioritize one good thing over another". Hence lots of comments. I wish there were more submissions like this.


The post is not about engineering, hacking or programming, but pleasing management.

I wish there were less submissions like this.


The reality is that it’s just the way life/“the game” is. I think it’s good to know about such things, it’s still very much up to the individual to use it/not get fired etc. Unless someone lives alone on a farm, they’ll likely need to know how to handle such things at some point (or be very lucky, or possibly suffer).


It's a post about getting your software recognized and used. For that, you actually need to get other people on board, yes. If you don't care about that, why are you even working in software development? It sounds tedious to just build things nobody cares about.


Can anyone tell me more about Mira Murati? What else is she known for? How did she end up in this position?


Its all a bit of mystery, even the early board members of Open AI were relatively unknown people who could not fight Altman.


Is it known who set it up and for what purpose?


You can choose a diagonal segment but it doesn't count even if the concatenated digits give the M.N.


Ya so as others have mentioned the M.N. needs to be made with a full expression (at the least, a starting number, operator, ending number). Going to try making this more clear on the instructions.

Thanks for your feedback!


You need to have an operator in the middle, that is, 12 would be satisfied by a string of "5+7", not just by adjacent 5 and 7.


What about if there is a `1` next to a `2`, shouldn't you be able to click `1` and then `2` and it concatenates to `12`?

I think that's what parent meant.


I didn't think of that, but wouldn't that be more about string operations than math?


Why call it "FIFO queue"(isn't it just stack?) when actually you need to remove elements from the middle?

Also I think you could do away with storing "prev" for each node and make it like std::forward_list(with some additional work during eviction).

> We pushed SIEVE a bit further by letting it peek into the future – well, sort of. We tested how well it could guess the next request. It turns out, with this extra bit of foresight, SIEVE is nailing it, outperforming the rest in almost all scenarios.

No idea what they mean here.


A stack is actually LIFO?

Otherwise, yeah, if you remove elements from the middle, you either need a structure that allows it, or you amortize it by making such updates less frequent. Still not a queue.


If you need middle or random access then it’s an array, neither a queue nor a stack :)

I couldn’t understand the animation at all. LRU is much simpler to understand and implement what’s so complicated about a doubly linked list ?


The median could trivially be the root of a red/black tree.


I think they invoke FIFO because hand pointer start at tail so the first-in objects have first the chance to get evicted (be out).


> A CL (or Pull Request) is created in Google’s in-house code editor Cider

Since the article is pretty accurate about everything else, I just want to point out that this is(was?) just one way of creating a CL. I was using IDEA and was mostly creating CLs using a command line.
