> The question on the lips of everyone in the Linux community is, "What if Linus Torvalds (affectionately known to the trade press as 'Linux Torvalds') gets hit by a bus?" Reams of virtual paper have been wasted on idle speculation about the results of what is a fairly simple experiment. We decided it was high time someone actually took the trouble to find out what would happen if Linus Torvalds were to get hit by a bus. Our preliminary findings are printed below; we hope that this study will eventually be published in peer-reviewed Linux publications such as Linux Journal and Slashdot. Well, Linux Journal.
>
> **Methodology**
>
> Our sample consisted of 200 Linus Torvaldses separated into a test group of 100 and a control group of 100. 97 members of the test group were hit by buses at speeds ranging from 5 MPH to 70 MPH. The other three test subjects ran into stationary buses on their own power. A different bus was used for each trial so as to ensure that the trials would be independent.
>
> The control group was observed over a period of six months, in which none of the subjects was hit by a bus.
>
> **Observations**
>
> Only nine members of the test group survived; two of these were seriously injured. All survivors had been assigned to the lower end of the velocity scale, as can be seen in Figure 1.
>
> [IMAGE: Figure 1: Survival rate versus bus velocity]
>
> No fatalities were reported in the control group. One member choked on a muffin during the second week, but recovered after an application of the Heimlich maneuver. No buses were present during the incident.
>
> **Conclusions and Recommendations**
>
> Our study's bottom line: given standard traffic patterns, Linus Torvalds has an 8.9% (plus or minus 1.4%) chance of surviving and fully recovering from a collision with a bus. Due to Torvalds' development skills and acknowledged importance to the Linux community, we hereby recommend that Linus Torvalds be kept out of the path of oncoming buses. Also, his muffin intake should be monitored.
>
> Linux kernel development was not significantly affected by our experiment; however, we attribute this to the large sample size used.
>
> **The Future**
>
> We plan to do similar tests to determine the effects of buses on Miguel de Icaza, Larry Wall, and Eric S. Raymond. Our confident prediction is that we will obtain similar results.
>
> Instructions on getting hit by a bus will soon be posted to our project Web site, so that the average developer will be able to gauge his or her importance to the Open Source community. | null | 0 | 1546261590 | False | 0 | ecxx932 | t3_ab601z | null | null | t3_ab601z | /r/programming/comments/ab601z/what_if_linus_torvalds_gets_hit_by_a_bus/ecxx932/ | 1548323236 | 405 | t5_2fwo | r/programming | public | null |
False | philocto | t2_6jxjx | I once had a person give me a toy problem on the phone that involved taking a string and switching the places of all the characters (index 0 goes to index last, index 1 to index last-1, etc).
I threw out a simple answer to the problem and was rejected with the feedback that I have a tendency to use brute force. And yet we both know that if a different person had been interviewing and I had decided to be fancy, I would have been rejected with the feedback of not trying to make things simple.
But more than that, why the hell would I treat a toy problem as if it were production code? Why would I treat a small 100-200 line project as if it were production code? Why is it so difficult for some people (read: you) to understand the difference between a 100-200 line project and a project with 100k+ LoC that's currently functioning in production?
Because that's what it comes down to. stupid people making stupid decision on things. trying to extrapolate behavior based upon stupid and artificial use cases. The observation of such a silly phenomenon is what kicked off this entire conversation, and yet here I find someone else arguing that it's a valid approach.
And yes, I understand that people do it. The point is that it's stupid. Here's a novel idea. **communicate with the candidate**.

That's easy. Here.

>Why do you think it's first?
Etc.
My point is, thinking algorithmically / analytically is both a very unnatural thing for humans (we're tempted to heuristically put things together) and essential for the job. If you can't take a step back, break it into parts, think of where it can go wrong, think how well it will work, etc., and just go with "it just works", that's a recipe for disaster.

You're right, it sounds like the interviewer / company failed you and not the other way around. Most of your examples highlight what I listed under (1) or (2).
However, to clarify:
* you make a good point of how different specializations definitely require different interviews. Our team tries to match candidates with people they'd work with, and while we still stand behind my general aims, the interview is shifted on the specifics.
* you'd google "memoization" and go "oh, that's basically caching" and then we'd move on talking about how to reuse your previous results.
* I disagree how big O is of no use. It's not very useful in a theoretical sense (e.g., you won't have to write a proof on why this is big O and not big Theta), but it's *very* useful in a general sense. I think that as soon as you use a data structure, you should know the implications. I don't think it's unreasonable to be expected to know roughly how `std::set` works. I expect you to know lookup will be `log(n)`\-ish, even though you won't ever implement a red black tree. Removing the first element in a vector? Making useless copies of arrays? Asking for `reserve()`\-ing vectors if possible? I'd bring all this up in a code review anyway. Oh, and it's not just about big O, what I generally mean is being [performance aware](https://gist.github.com/jboner/2841832).
But you're generally right, and I feel your pain. I predict that slowly, even the "big companies" will move away from these algorithmic puzzles and realize the skills they gauge are not actually what they're looking for.
I think it's also a matter of pride / arrogance. A lot of people think it's natural that candidates prepare 1 month for the *interview* itself because that shows commitment / willingness to put the work in (which is BS imo). I think this will also slowly die down. At the moment, yes, there's a lot of people applying to Google / Amazon / FB / etc. (although, I feel they're not as much as a "dream job" as they used to be thought of); but in the industry as a whole, the demand for good engineers is getting so high that the interviews are becoming more the *company's* interview, and more about finding a fit than feeling like an exam. | null | 0 | 1546264291 | False | 0 | ecxzocd | t3_aaxsey | null | null | t1_ecxo2dp | /r/programming/comments/aaxsey/microsoft_totally_changed_how_it_interviews/ecxzocd/ | 1548324372 | 5 | t5_2fwo | r/programming | public | null |

I'm not implying anything, I'm explicitly taking issue with the specific statement that:

IB at best, possibly UB.

I wouldn't reduce it to myself though, this is really visible when it's a direction that the entire team takes.
My interviews were actually a significant factor in my decision to accept the job. It felt like a tech conversation between tech people; I felt assessed and that they genuinely wanted to probe as much as possible. They even took the time to show the product, which in retrospect it's something that should almost always be a thing.

Eric Niebler's C++20 ranges library got criticized badly over the last few days for being overly complicated, but at least it is fast. According to your blog post Eric's ranges library is the fastest ranges library (in release builds) which is a great achievement! It is about 30 percent faster than the second fastest ranges library and even 3x faster than the D ranges program.
The compile times are really bad though, let's hope Eric finds a way to improve that. I once used std::regex in one of my libraries and compile time went up by 50 percent, so I removed it again. If the C++20 ranges compile times are really as bad as reported (20x slower) then I guess many people won't use it. | null | 0 | 1546265185 | 1546266871 | 0 | ecy0kpd | t3_ab71ag | null | null | t3_ab71ag | /r/programming/comments/ab71ag/comparing_pythagorean_triples_in_c_d_and_rust/ecy0kpd/ | 1548324802 | 43 | t5_2fwo | r/programming | public | null |

False | Belge007 | t2_2vibal8v | Hi Jarsen, if it's not to late I'd recommend you have a look at Cooladata ([www.cooladata.com](https://www.cooladata.com)). Cooladata is an end-to-end big data analytics and BI platform (fully managed data warehouse + out of the box web and mobile analytics).
​
We recently did a POC with a gaming company that had both iOS and Android games and they were using Firebase but they were not fully with with Firebase for a number of reasons that people stated in this thread ,and after the POC they became a customer of ours.
​
I've listed here Cooladata's advantages for Firebase users :
1. JSON flattening which makes the data much easier to query, and scan costs are lower (partitioning by properties).
2. Self-learning architecture – send any event or property, our platform will update the schema and tables accordingly, no need to add and maintain fields.
3. Merging Firebase projects into the same Cooladata project.
4. Enrich events and properties using 3rd party data such as Appsflyer into existing tables and sessions.
5. Sessionization – automatically group events by user & time into sessions.
6. Smearing user & session scope properties across all relevant events.
7. Enriching from Firebase real time database - all the properties and dimensions into the fact table.
8. Remove duplicates – automatically recognize and remove redundant information.
9. Aggregation tables – create aggregation tables using SQL / R / Python

[Even in airplane mode](https://youtu.be/S0G6mUyIgyg), your Android phone collects *all* data about your movements; including events such as exiting a vehicle, with to-the-second precision.

You can also find this illustrated in places like https://www.linuxfoundation.org/about/donate/
**"100% of donations received go towards funding diversity programs."**
So now we have funding going to diversity programs rather than open source, training, etc... and we have speech police now enforcing approved language, behavior, etc... openly stating that this is political, and using their authority to destroy meritocracy in the project and push a specific set of feelings as paramount etc.

False | CallinCthulhu | t2_293595i | The problem is they don’t know you actually wrote that code. He was probably just mystified you have a github with FizzBuzz in it, let alone in two different languages, and looking for a way to politely ask you to just do the damn question.
By saying you don’t want to write out a super easy function in 5 minutes and then insist the interviewer waste time pulling up a github, you set off every bullshit alarm there is.

False | Curpidgeon | t2_16g2sk | I've done a lot of entry level and up interviews (I don't use FizzBuzz but ask more generalized, open-ended questions) and the amount of people that claim to be top level programmers on their resume but don't actually know anything at all is shocking.
The arrogance it must take to put the kinds of things I've seen on resumes for people with next to 0 knowledge. I guess their plan was just to sub contract all the work overseas and turn in that code? I dunno. But the existence of people like this creates extreme paranoia in companies hiring programmers.

False | imekon | t2_59bjj | One of the things I heard was "don't write code for performance - do that later". Most of what I do doesn't require performance, so I'm generally not aware of it. Until we note something is slow, then we start investigating.
You can waste a lot of time *up front* writing performant code whereas in reality it's only one place you need to focus speeding things up.
When I wrote applications and switched to writing gaming SDK's I got caught by performance - simply because you don't need to be aware of it as an application developer whereas you do as a games developer.
Who would have thought that *allocating memory* would cause a performance spike in a games SDK? I hadn't learned a simple rule for writing games - allocate everything you need in the initialisation/loading phase and reuse what you can during game loop.
Except some APIs work against that... written by... oh dear... MICROSOFT!
I remember trying to get performance out of XAudio2 with 256 voices with different formats etc. I had to create a pool for each size of resource (8 or 16 bit, 11025/22050/44100/48000) simply because DELETE was such an issue with XAudio2. I couldn't easily reuse voices, when delete would take 1us in one case and 100ms in another. | null | 0 | 1546265962 | False | 0 | ecy1coh | t3_aaxsey | null | null | t1_ecxzocd | /r/programming/comments/aaxsey/microsoft_totally_changed_how_it_interviews/ecy1coh/ | 1548325147 | 5 | t5_2fwo | r/programming | public | null |

False | dominiklohmann | t2_1zb2ywnn | The C++ compile times can be significantly reduced by not including all of the ranges library. They don't import everything ranges-related in the other languages either, so that comparison is way off (although C++ will still lose by a big margin on that front).
​
They should also measure times without the printing included, since that's not really part of the problem at hand. It's why the rust version is slower, I think—not doing any measurements here, so don't take my words for granted. | null | 0 | 1546266123 | False | 0 | ecy1i1x | t3_ab71ag | null | null | t3_ab71ag | /r/programming/comments/ab71ag/comparing_pythagorean_triples_in_c_d_and_rust/ecy1i1x/ | 1548325243 | 15 | t5_2fwo | r/programming | public | null |
