  1. Aren't they required to make their stock trades public?
  2. Right, but even when they do have your zipcode (because you added beforehand for checking stock for example) they don't update the prices. It would be nice to have the option
  3. A while ago I built a prototype app to extract songs and artists from Reddit posts with thousands of comments. I used the Anthropic API, and it was pretty easy to set up and wasn't very expensive. I think you can get a pretty good estimation of how much it would cost beforehand or after a few test runs.
  4. Have you considered using an LLM model API? You could just send it the posting text and come with a good prompt to extract the most likely required skills.
  5. What are you going to google though? For most of these LC questions you only need to know how to use arrays, maps and loops. If I'm interviewing you and you tell me you need to google how to append something to an array or check if the element is in a map then I'll think you just haven't written enough code yet.

    There are better questions where I do think google should be allowed but they aren't LC-style. Some examples are building APIs or operating on files

  6. Currently working for me with ProtonVPN
  7. If it's awful and doesn't improve over time (I'm talking weeks), try pushing your doctor to get an MRI. I visited three doctors before they ordered one and found two bad herniated and degenerated discs, and at that point, surgery was the recommended option. It's been a year after my surgery, and I'm finally pain-free after almost three painful years.
  8. Is that common though? I haven't met people that have a great pronunciation but poor grammar in a second language.
  9. You could try writing blog posts for a company[1]. I haven't done this but I know people who have. It's crazy what some companies pay for such low-quality content sometimes.

  10. That wasn't my point. Your original comment passively implies people without parenting experience should keep their opinions to themselves.
  11. Having experience in parenting has nothing to do with understanding addiction though. If a psychiatrist tells you the best way is to just not give them a smartphone are you going to dismiss their opinion if they don’t have kids?
  12. Not really. The first one about the anti-drunk driving is pretty similar to what many pro-gun people say: "banning guns won't stop murders". And just answering that the point is reduction seems reasonable in this case.
  13. I did a month's course of Omeprazole in the morning and Pepcid before going to bed. It got much better, and now I rarely have to take something. Before that, I was taking sodium bicarbonate every day, which is apparently bad for you and can worsen the symptoms over time.
  14. Wouldn't it be easier not to give kids phones or tables until they are a certain age? I feel like the only reason my friends and I aren't addicted to apps is because we didn't grow up having a smartphone available all day. I got my first smartphone when I was about 20, so I never developed the compulsion of having it around me all the time
  15. Not much. Go with Java or Scala instead. Those are useful when learning processing frameworks such as Spark, Beam, Flink, etc.
  16. The problem is that you and the other hundreds of senior engineers would perform the same if it were all design and the other example you gave. There's just not a good solution for companies that must evaluate the number of candidates these big companies get daily.
  17. Do you think the lack of talent is what's preventing the company's success?
  18. Probably through academia? If you get a PhD you can spend years working on a very specific topic.
  19. If you like boxing and have space, get a punching bag, a mat, and a jump rope.

    - 3 rounds of jump rope

    - 3 rounds of shadowboxing

    - 3 rounds of punching bag

    That's 27 mins and great and fun cardio.

  20. ME: "Is a leaf falling from a tree is an unusual occurrence?"

    ChatGPT: "No, it is not unusual for leaves to fall from trees. It is a natural part of the life cycle of a tree. In the fall, deciduous trees will typically lose their leaves as a way to conserve energy and prepare for winter. The leaves turn color and eventually fall off the tree, making room for new growth in the spring. So while it may be surprising or interesting to see a leaf fall from a tree, it is a common and normal occurrence."

  21. Or leaving a job that makes them miserable. I have friends with great eating and fitness habits but their jobs makes them unhappy.
  22. I love jazz music. I've spent two years learning Jazz tunes and some theory after 20 years focusing on rock and other genres. Something I've realized is that everything was already done in Jazz. Anything you can find in modern music that you think sounds innovative was probably already done in Jazz before the 70s. These guys were really pushing the limits of music. It's sad so many of the greats died so young because of drugs and other health issues.
  23. If by "people like me" you mean people from South America then yes that's what I said. By the way I said I personally don't care. I was just correcting OP when he said that "literally no one is offended" when I know for a fact many are. Also I never said they wanted to be called Americans. And no idea what your point is with your violence blabber.
  24. You are wrong. I'm from South America, and the "American" thing is an issue for many people. In Spanish, we don't even call Americans "Americanos" but "Estado Unidenses". Many people joke when Americans say they are Americans by answering, "yeah, me too." I couldn't care less especially because I know the difference between America and "The Americas" but many people don't
  25. Yes. You add that the job doesn't apply to people from Colorado or NY. I've seen a lot of those.
  26. I’ve never had any issues with the @pm.me extension and I’ve been using it ever since it came out. Maybe try that instead ?
  27. I don't know if you are genuinely curious but this question is getting kind of old. Every time a company does layoffs, somebody asks, "why does an X company need X number of people?". Every opening has a purpose. No company hires people for fun, and unless you are a company employee you don't know all the different areas, projects, and support staff a company needs to run when they are actually a business trying to make money.
