The earthquake’s magnitude of 8.8 is significant, potentially making it one of the largest quakes ever recorded. Countries around much of the Pacific, including in East Asia and North and South America, issued alerts and, in some cases, evacuation orders in anticipation of potentially devastating waves.

Live coding interviews measure stress, not coding skills

Some people enjoy live coding interviews. I’m not one of them. Two days ago, I stumbled upon a post on LinkedIn: Sounds absurd at first. Why would a senior engineer, who has been writing code for years, struggle with something as simple as a basic algorithm? Did they suddenly forget how to code? Maybe.

“Don’t cannibalize the audience” is an unwritten mantra in Hollywood. If a movie that is coming out has a similar subject matter or serves a similar viewership as one you are releasing, you try and put some distance between them so as not to ruin your chances of success. If two movies come out that are too similar, it’s likely to split the audience and hurt both of them. That seems like a no-brainer point of view.
