FizzBuzz will become an especially relevant interview question.


my intuition tells me that this problem is best solved using DP


This reminds me of driving home after seeing The Matrix in the theater in 1999. I was on the parkway wondering why everything was moving so slowly, not quite bullet time but definitely slow.

I look at the speedometer and I'm doing 95-100 mph on Southern State Parkway. I then had the "snap" and slowed back to normal. Everything felt even slower, the sensation lasted for about an hour after I got home.

Inception also had a strange drive home after, not speed, but the trees didn't seem real, the sky, everything was heightened, almost dreamlike. It had rained too, so there was some more similarity to the movie, minus the car chases and rollovers.


Apparently you should take the public transport it a taxi when going to the cinema :)

But I had similar sensations after Matrix, fortunately I was walking back home.

Yes, but:

One of my favorite sci-fi stories!


> And now you've just got lots of different complications, like that seawater is very corrosive.

Is it as corrosive as lightning? All space elevators will encounter that problem pretty regularly.

We've been running cables under the ocean for over a century now, there's ways to address seawater corrosion and intrusion.


By Grabthar's hammer, I hope so.

Pffft, run Crysis in 8K


> You are either speaking hyperbolicly or lying. Bluetooth is very stable these days.

Bluetooth as a network protocol, that might be stable. Bluetooth interactivity is not stable or even usable in many cases.

It's not just in cars and other non-computer interfaces, good luck trying to pair a non-Apple device with an Apple device. If you say "it works on my computer", congrats, you're the only one. And also speaking hyperbolically.
