Re:Ask HN: Looking for a book on algorithms and data structures on Sunday November 14, 2021 @12:56PM (#29218989)
Yes, wholeheartedly agree. All other classic recommendations from this thread pale in comparison. Jay Wengrow did a fantastic job with this book.
Re:The rise of never-ending job interviews on Tuesday August 03, 2021 @07:30AM (#28047962)
Honest question: I'd really love to know what UTF-8 traps people fall into all the time when working on a consumer product with Java - especially given that Java basically stores all Strings in UTF-16 (well, starting with Java9+ there's some "optimizations" made, but still). I literally can count those issues on one hand in over a decade of working on such (multilingual) products.

I also completely fail to see what a CRUD app (i.e. java + db) + shooting REST requests to confluence has to do with your concurrency questions, as in interview != job fit, but that might have to do with some missing context.

Based on your review and the other replies in this thread I bought the book - I hate to say this, but, in my honest opinion, it was mostly a dull, arrogant and self-aggrandizing book. (Side-Note: I lost my mother at a somewhat young age to cancer and am no complete stranger to death and the process of dying).

PayPal's exchange rate is abysmal, hence I have quite a few dollars sitting in my PayPal account - which I cannot really use (apart from spending in USD).Is there any way to get those dollars out to my EUR bank account, without going through Paypals currency conversion?Note: TransferWise etc doesn't work,...
