The Bagram airfield is well within China's striking distance anyway.

This seem more to do with Trump week long visit to Gulf countries that have many deals and bombing of Iran. its not like US has to sell to Europe. US arms are cheaper and can have tech from Israel and US colonies in Asia. Europe decline will accelerate if it tries to replace US arms and still want to support Ukraine. when Europe decline than its talented people will look for work in US and Gulf.
This millionaire settle every hour is about Europe. Even the tech backwater like France and Italy attracted $250B investment from UAE.

Idk, you must be a 10x developer lol. I'm still below principal

I'm not principal either. By Huawei/ByteDance standards I'm trash tier as well lol. In 2023 I interviewed for a US based staff-level engineer role for ByteDance (not that I really wanted the privilege of experiencing 996, more so just for practice and to interact with senior level engineers from China). Two of the interviewers were Chinese engineers based in China, and it was pretty apparent they were not impressed with my performance at all.

We have loads of very talented and intelligent people on this forum. Takes genius to be pro-SeeSeePee before it was cool.

I still regularly bomb technical interviews, Chinese or otherwise LMAO

Won the hiring team's hearts but flopped the bitonic subsequence problem in my last round.

Oof thats a tricky one. Easy to trip up since it forces you to use non-optimal algorithm for LIS. Easy to reach for the optimal sequence-building with binary search and end up not taking into account that the LIS up to i is not equivalent to the LIS ending at i. Once you pick the right algorithm for LIS, its just 2 pass LIS, first left to right, then in reverse right to left.

Solving a problem in an interview is a lot harder than when you are solving them on your own. I get tripped up even on problems I've seen before every once in a while (last year I was super happy when I got the calculate string of numbers, +-*/, and parentheses problem. Then I blanked and had to come up with a recursive o(n^2) solution lol). And the interview bar is much higher than it was before 2022, since then I've only been clearing around 1/3 of my interviews.

I did eventually do it with a 2D DP algorithm but ran out of time before I could do edge case handling. Oh well... And yes, those odds are what I've experienced.

InfographicsShow: US is the world's ultimate peacekeeper and the one who brings prosperity, everyone should always cherish US as the sole superpower rather than destroy it. Because US' fall will definitely bring us to WWIII.

Hopefully for those who are not MAGA loons, you spent your Sunday doing something more fun than tuning into that Charlie Kirk memorial sausage fest. But everyone has to know what Stephen Miller had to say.

“Our enemies cannot comprehend our strength, our determination, our resolve, our passion, our lineage, and our legacy hails back to Athens, to Rome, to Philadelphia, to Monticello,” Miller said. “Our ancestors built the cities. They produced the art and architecture, they built the industry.”

Miller added, “To our enemies, you have nothing to give, you have nothing to offer, you have nothing to share, but bitterness. We have beauty, we have light, we have goodness, we have determination, we have vision, we have strength. We built the world that we inhabit now.

If there was ever as clearcut of a declaration of war on those MAGA deem to be undesirable, this is it.

According to the Korean Central News Agency today (September 22), the 13th Session of the 14th Supreme People's Congress of North Korea was held on September 20 and 21, General Secretary of the Workers' Party of Korea, and Chairman Kim Jong-un attended the event on September 21 and delivered a speech. Kim Jong-un says North Korea will clearly state in national law that North Korea and South Korea are two different countries. Never merge into one country.

Talks about Rome, and yet anti-Italian sentiment was fucking wild in the US.
