For some strange reason* they decided to go with tapatalk instead and discontinued it.

Old (way superior) app still works but has been removed from all the app-stores - also it now forgets your login-details more often than it remembers them which is really annoying, but still better than the tapatalk app.

Maybe they could open source the app and let some of the devs here keep it updated?

Did they have you explicitly learn any of that yet? If not you're way ahead of the game. I don't think 80% of us even knew what time complexity was until the post-course curriculum.

Tapatalk is annoying. On the occasions I just want to read and not post, browser is best.

No, but I did overhear a TA trying to describe it without describing it to a clearly overwhelmed person who was unknowingly asking about it yesterday. It was pretty funny.

We covered algorithm complexity a little in our data structures course at college, but I've learned the most I think from cracking the coding interview. She does a great job of explaining the concept, I think.

This* exists but I can't remember what it's called.

*Free internet for putting a box in your house.
Edit: Oh no it was free heating and/or electricity for hosting servers but I still can't remember the name.

My first question for the CDN company would be about bots and/or Ding unwanted C over the N. Other than that it seems legit.

I found that book to be not all that useful unless you're using one of the languages they're targeting. There are probably better places to find potential whiteboarding questions. A good number of the ones in the book assume you don't have conveniences that Ruby has.

Some of the very smartest people at AA had read Skiena's algorithms book FWIW.

Only $84 on Amazon!

I've looked at some algorithm books before, but they were mostly "here are some algorithms", and not really "here are how you figure out how to design a good algorithm". Maybe that book you recommend is the latter.

Likes to sit in the field of functional programming next to the cliff of imperative programming. When kids try to run off, he catches 'em.

Figured you all might find this amusing.

Connecting to the library internet as an unauthorized user:
When you connect to a page that is HTTPS, the system will redirect you to the welcome page. except when:

-- you are connected from an HTTPS device, which blocks the redirect to HTTP.
and
-- you are attempting to connect to an HTTPS page.

In order to get around this issue, attach to any HTTP page. They suggest using Bing.

Hello, name

I found you in Github. May I ask you for a life-changing question?

You know, here in the US, most developers are motivated to work by 2 principles:

- willing to make their work impacting positively to our information society
- willing to organize a comfortable and fulfilling life for themselves and family

I can help in both ways.

Now, an awesome team in New York is looking for special Senior Front-end Developer.
Company works with giants like Spotify, Pinterest and GoPro by expanding their horizons and globalizing their businesses.

We understand that relocation is often stressful, so we are happy to help you and your family with it. Also flexible PTO, сompetitive salary and paid insurance as benefit.

Please, don't leave my mail unreplied, your opinion is important to me
Ask for details

2 in 2 days wtf is this crap? and "found you on github" is a bad sign thats for sure.

Apparently an important requirement to work in HR is that one be very adept at ignoring all forms of communication, despite showing up as Available on Lync, and not keep people in the loop on anything. Unfortunately the other HR person is in another state, so I can't walk over to her desk.

I IMed him. He said he thinks there's some kind of paperwork they're waiting for from HR Woman #2 (the one I can walk to). He said he'd call her. Yeah good luck with that. I'm not gonna go over there again.

It would be nice if HR woman #1 would at least not ignore my emails and IMs and just keep me in the loop.

You're getting paid to do nothing while they drag their feet?

Sounds like a company issue, not a you issue.

I have tasks. I'm not fully switching over until June 1. I just want to send the email to my coworkers and get all that over with. Right now only my bosses know.

Also this place has a reputation for pulling crap like "Oh sorry even though you're all working 60 hours/week, we couldn't extend that key workhorse contractor like we had promised. Bob SomeoneYouNeverHeardOf from accounting said no. Too bad we all REALLY wanted it to happen too."

The longer this drags out the more my paranoid side starts to worry someone is up to something.
