thanks!

hey Dave,

what would you recommend if someone wanted to go from nothing (maybe some softw. experience) to be able to do a hardware design like this? Is there any book/courses you consider to be a must?

Would you consider a non-senior for this position?

The first link is a straight following link, and the second one is a 30mimn video that goes through all available Python crawlers.

My recommendation: follow the first one if you are sure to use selenium or watch the second link to check all possibilities.

thanks

Use selenium.py, it is by far the easiest and scalable solution out there. (believe me I have tried everything, beautiful soup, request.py, scrapy.py ... )

Oh I see.

Excellent content. I was surfing your web page and it seems ridiculous interesting. Tomorrow I will read everything, do you make all your source code available ?

I just came across this link, it is a very intuitive and well-written explanation about the subject.

This is my personal recommendation, please notice that I have read "Introduction to Algorithm by Cormen" about 4 years ago, so for me everything was more a catch up than really learning:

- Skiena algorithm book: https://www.amazon.com/Algorithm-Design-Manual-Steve-Skiena/...

for this book one can focuses on the first 7 chapters (revision)

- Leet code editorial solutions https://leetcode.com/articles/ . They provide with the solution and complexity analysis of a few problems. I suggest you try to solve and give your complexity analysis then compare it with the "official" one.

I also want to add my 2 cents on that. I am terrible at white-board/ phone interviews but recently I think I was able to crack at it, and here are my thoughts about it:

- go to the root of the problem, run some examples by hand and try to think as a computer. e.g., I was at apple interview and there was this trick question that could be solved using a modified version of binary search. When I ran some example I kept asking myself "if I know that this element in the middle of the matrix is smaller (or larger) than X, what does that mean?"

- be very comfortable about big O notation. If necessary, be ready to present some formula.

- show that you can do the brute force solution. Sometimes the brute force solution seems very stupid (e.g., enumerate all possible subsets and find the best one), but you need to say it!

- most of all, be confident, but not arrogant. It is not the end of the world to not know something, but it is important to show what you do know!

I personally know people who were hired on their 5th interview. All that matters is your "data points", i.e., how are you improving over the years (it can take from 6 months to 1 yr to be able to re-apply).

I think this link http://steve-yegge.blogspot.com/2008/03/get-that-job-at-goog... is by far the best advice you can find out there.

Amazing text, last month I have screwed up at an interview just because I had no knowledge about what they were asking. After the interview I google about it for 2 minutes and then I was able to quickly answer that question.

For me you are using the two frameworks harder to prototyping - this is more truth for node, in fact. (this is my opinion, take it on your own).

What I would do in your place is simplify your code. This is, change to ruby and do not use any front end framework (remove angular for now) and just stick with a simple bootstrap integration.

Me too. This post is making me so happy to see that others like Flask as I do. :)

Flask has my preference 2. I was wondering what was reddit's folks opinion for flask.

Do you guys know what they felt about Flask?

No, I was thinking more abstract. Like a picture which holds the joy of openning a nice gif. Like the walk of anyone when receiving the first car of his/her life.

I know my request is completly open and unespecified, but I want to see ur art.

I need something related to gift. More specific someting you want to receive as gift, u know?

Wow, what a fantastic tool. I liked it.
