See I am not American and don't care about American culture war, Republican Democratican, or whatever you guys are using as an excuse to burn down buildings.

It's plain wrong to put banner ads in third world countries like Brazil and India, sounding like wikipedia doesn't have money to run their servers.

It's plain wrong to funnel that money to executives.

People who make wikipedia great aren't even involved with this. They have enough money to run servers, and a potential donation doesn't create additional content. They are trying hard to hide that fact with some clever wording.

This is textbook example of __dark pattern__ which highly privacy focused people love to point out when a bootstrapped startup collects telemetry data from their little application.

The Wikipedia fundraising effort is sounds like a metric driven C suite executive desperately trying to make charts "stonk".

the problem is some day the information will leak and the ones who know start gaming the metric.

I am grug. More benefit type when there's red line in editor. More benefit type system when F2 rename everywhere.

Is there a difference between intrusive and extrusive list when the member type is a struct (value type)?

Not same.

A) I can't download book. I go see other book.

B) I can download book. I download it.

If B is the case, my ability to download book did not cause you any loss.

Just look at the armchair advocate fired from Google last year.

Not so sure about that, with a certain clickbait coverage of solarwinds story creating bad PR for Jetbrains, (perhaps among the least controversial tech companies).

That's what happens when liberal arts people think they're too delicate to understand anything more nuanced than US political thing of the day.

Some technical books are too costly for students, especially in third world countries.

> I'd say it's more a measure of how well you can learn an arbitrary skill.

Time is finite. You can learn to write better programs, or grind Leetcode. Leetcode interviews favor the one who can put enough time on the latter.

A better explaination is it's a chain reaction. People who know only to Leetcode enter the industry, and ask only Leetcode questions.

And these are the people who post on LinkedIn as if their understanding of esoteric Leetcode string DP problems is essential for scaling Amazon and Google.

They may not quite understand their development or deployment environment but their knowledge of writing segment tree as a single dimension array in 15 minute is somehow essential to scaling the internal CRUD app these people end up working on.

Now everyone being interviewed by this person has to know by heart or magically derive on spot how to find minimum steps to obtain maximum length palindrome subsequence of even length from a string consisting of lower case letters, because apparently it's the gist of all computer science knowledge a developer will need.
