dude it is great to ask candidates to do code on a whiteboard
fizzbuzz type stuff gets failed all the time
reverse word order in a sentence, or do some image processing on this rectangular image within this other one
candidates sort themselves very quickly
As a primarily Ruby guy I kind of giggle at text manipulation questions like these.
Reverse word order?
sentence.split(" ").reverse.join(" ")
My knowledge of string processing in python makes me hate website that don't parse text in predictable formats that much more. I got a prepaid phone recently and had to enter the number, which was listed as five three-digit numbers, so I entered it that way. APPARENTLY that was just for ease of reading, and they actually wanted a single, fifteen digit number.
It's like, it would take one line for you to fix that. In Python it'd just be "".join(user_pin.split(" ")), which is perhaps not the most elegant, but seriously come on.

I recall for our junior prom the class overwhelmingly voted for the song to be "Come as You Are" by Nirvana and the preppie cheersquad girls who organized such events were all bitterly disappointed by that selection.
Reversing arrays in powershell is dumb. They need to go back in time to whoever was working on powershell v1 and slap him around a bit for implementing a custom array class just for powershell instead of using .NET's.
$a = "I am cool at frog ramming."
$b = $a -split " "
[Array]::Reverse($b)
$b -join " "
garbage!
life's a game that you're bound to lose / like using a hammer to pound in screws
fuck up once and you break your thumb / if you're happy at all then you're god damn dumb
that's right we're on a fucked up cruise / God is dead but at least we have booze
bad things happen, no one knows why / the sun burns out and everyone dies
I have a ton of math to learn and relearn. I'm still relearning Geometry right now (though I am good at it), but I need to blast past Trig (which I am historically bad at) and get through Calculus 1 at the very, very least.
But I also need to learn programming.
And every other game thing.
And business.
And legal stuff.
And art.
And dating.
Complicated dating.

What even is complicated dating, and are you sure you aren't going to accidentally learn it when learning math?

is there an app that makes it sound like you're slamming the phone down when you hang up a call on your cell phone
i would pay for that
are you willing to pay as much as a new phone?
because in that case you don't even need an app

Long-distance relationship with weird schedule stuff and lots of secondary factors.
Also I have almost no experience with dating or anything of the sort, so I am fairly frustrating to deal with.
The statements were released after an employee at DraftKings, one of the two major companies, admitted last week to inadvertently releasing data before the start of the third week of N.F.L. games. The employee, a midlevel content manager, won $350,000 at a rival site, FanDuel, that same week.
“It is absolutely akin to insider trading,” said Daniel Wallach, a sports and gambling lawyer at Becker & Poliakoff in Fort Lauderdale, Fla. “It gives that person a distinct edge in a contest.”
Oh did somebody spoil the results of the games before they were played or something? I don't know how football works.
an employee with non-public data about who was picking what players used that data on a competing site to win big, basically

Hmm
Yes calculus will help you here
The last time I took a calculus class I got half-way through and realized that I needed to know Trigonometry too.
That does not have a good outcome on a date.
Khan Academy and I will be best buddies.
Oh and also I need to learn French.
But.... Math comes first because I can't get anywhere without math.

I also hit all my trains on the way home some how. Waited at Pentagon for 1 minute, at Rosslyn for 4. Though the orange line was crowded as fuck.

i would pay for that

Which seems awesome, frankly, that's exactly the language I would use to decorate donuts
