The genious leadership at prime video thought it would be a good idea to introduce adds not only on the beginning of movies but also in the middle of it, with an extra paid option (on top of prime) to remove it. When an add appeared I got so frustrated I cancelled my prime subscription at that very moment. I wonder if they even considered/cared about brand reputation impact.

That "enough of the damn emails" moment from Bernie Sanders during the democratic debate was very weird to say the least. It seemed he wasnt interested at all at moving forward with the nomination.

For "easy gpu programming" look for tensorflow or any of these "run on CPU and GPU" libraries. For anything else there's no magic, need to write kernel code and take care of memory layout.

I have mixed feelings concerning this methodology. At the same time I feel I'm a bit rust on the details of the field, I still believe best way to assess academic background is by sending a paper "offline" and asking the interviewee to explain it. IMO all these quick-answer questions asses is how prepared is the interviewee in answering quick-answer questions.

Well I think exactly the opposite. In C++ it's a nightmare to build a prototype with a new library. You spend a huge time setting up the build system for that particular library, need to figure out how to plug into your code, fix dependencies (which in practice always have something broke/missing). That being, I think a propper package manager would add value to c++ dev,
