Under the hood of architecture interviews at indeedFangda Wang
?
Architecture or System Design Interviews are a common way for Software Companies to evaluate candidates and are open ended enough to have volumes written about them. This talk will try to address expectations from interviewers and candidates for this interview type and Bharat's account for how Indeed manages them.
How Indeed asks coding interview questionsFangda Wang
?
Coding interviews (aka. whiteboard interviews, or programming interviews) are the primary tools used by Indeed and major tech companies (e.g. Google, Amazon, Facebook) to measure technical skills for potential employees. There are a lot of articles and talks to help interviewees prepare and perform well on the coding interview. However, not many of them share insight into how employers conduct coding interviews and their challenges.
This talk is mainly for companies/managers who want to improve their hiring, or persons who are inspired to be a good interviewers. Wanasit will share his insight on how Indeed (and other tech companies) designed their interviewing processes and trains interviewers, including their principles and challenges.
For the interviewees or students, this talk helps you understand the interviewer-side perspective, thus, helps you prepare for the next interviews. It also includes a few uncommon interviewing tips at the end.
Types are becoming more important in software as programs grow larger and more complex, leading to more bugs. New types like Optional help prevent null pointer exceptions while async/await make asynchronous code more intuitive. More advanced types still being adopted include algebraic data types that model relationships between data, dependent types that allow types to depend on values, and linear types that prevent multiple uses of resources. These new types allow for stronger guarantees and more bugs caught at compile time rather than runtime.
In this talk, Tatiana will take you on a journey from IC to Tech Lead. She had a lot of struggles and unknowns along the way for years, but she decided to share those experiences as well as the efficient way to go about the role. She will give actionable ideas and provide a reference point on how Tech Leading could look like in practice.
In this talk, Wanasit will share what he learn about Japanese NLP after trying to build a Japanese tokenizer from scratch.
Doing Natural Language Processing (NLP) or text processing for Japanese has many challenges. One of the most basic and obvious problems is tokenization (aka. splitting text into a list of words).
Unlike English that the words typically separated by space, splitting Japanese text (e.g. ÈÕ±¾ÕZ¤Î×ÔÈ»ÑÔÕZ„IÀí¤òÐФ¦¤Ë¤Ï¡) doesn¡¯t have such a rule-of-thumb. It requires the tokenizers and NLP tools to be a lot more sophisticated.
Nowadays, with so many programming languages in existence, it can be very difficult to choose one that's fit for you. However, as many of them are adopting functional programming (FP) concepts, this common ground can help you to pick up any of them. During this talk you will learn about general FP principles on the example of one of the most extensively developed modern languages - Scala - and see how these principles allow you to write better software.
The document discusses the pros and cons of pair programming versus solo programming. Pair programming may lead to faster problem solving, easier ramping up for new developers, and happier working hours. However, it could also result in mismatched work strategies between pairs or the establishment of full-time teacher/student roles. The document argues that pair programming is most effective when the right habits are learned, there is respect between partners, problems are solved quickly, and tasks are appropriately challenging.
This document discusses balanced teams and a demo of Pivotal practices. It begins with an overview of balanced teams, which bring together product managers, designers, and developers on the same team. The document then introduces the presenters and provides an agenda for their demo. It describes the history and benefits of balanced teams, including flexibility, shared understanding, shared product ownership, and avoiding bottlenecks. The remainder gives resources for learning more and outlines the live demo, which will create a Spring Boot app integrated with a MySQL database and deploy it to Pivotal Cloud Foundry.
The Will-Skill Matrix is an essential framework for managers and consultants aiming to optimize team performance. This model divides employees into four quadrants based on their levels of motivation (Will) and competencies (Skill):

I Thought I¡¯d Lost Everything, My Crops, My Savings, My Future! I'm a third-generation farmer, and like most of my family, I have weathered storms, both the literal and economic varieties. Nothing, though, could have prepared me for the flood that swept through my farm and nearly drowned my future. Over the past five years, I had amassed a $120,000 Bitcoin buffer in silence as a hedge against unstable crop prices. It was my shield against poor harvests and market crashes.
And then the flood came. It wasn't rain, it was the wrath of nature. Water flooded into my office, turning documents into pulp and sending my computers floating around like lumber. My hardware wallet, the sole bulwark between me and that $120,000, was submerged in muddy water. When the skies finally cleared, I held the waterlogged device in my hand, praying fervently that it would still work. It didn't.
Panic ensued. The soybeans were ruined, the barn needed to be repaired, and now my electronic savings, the one thing I thought was sacrosanct was gone. I couldn't tell my wife; she had already been up to her knees helping shovel sludge out of our home.
Desperate, I had put it on an agriculture technology site. I had cried and written, praying that someone somewhere would know what to do. A user responded with a username that turned out to be my savior, Salvage Asset Recovery.
I called them the next day, preparing for robot voice or a bait-and-switch sales pitch. But to my surprise, I spoke with human compassion, patience, and understanding. I unloaded my story, and they listened like neighbors calling after a tornado. They worked immediately, using fancy data reconstruction tools I couldn't even understand.
Every day, they updated me in simple terms. I was anxious, but their professionalism calmed me down. On the ninth day, I got the call. They had recovered my wallet. All the Bitcoins were intact. I was so relieved that I nearly kissed my filthy boots.
When they heard about the flooding damage, they even discounted part of their fee. That touched me more than the rain. Salvage Asset Recovery didn't just restore my savings, they restored my trust in people. They are heroes in my book, and thanks to them, my family's future is once again set on stable ground.

In the fast-paced and ever-evolving world of business, staying ahead of the curve requires more than just incremental improvements. Companies must rethink and fundamentally transform their processes to achieve substantial gains in performance. This is where Business Process Reengineering (BPR) comes into play. BPR is a strategic approach that involves the radical redesign of core business processes to achieve dramatic improvements in productivity, efficiency, and quality. By challenging traditional assumptions and eliminating inefficiencies, redundancies, and bottlenecks, BPR enables organizations to streamline operations, reduce costs, and enhance profitability.
For non-performing organizations, BPR serves as a powerful weapon for reinvigoration. By crafting a compelling narrative around the need for change, leaders can inspire and galvanize their teams to embrace the transformation journey. BPR fosters a culture of continuous improvement, innovation, and agility, allowing companies to align their processes with strategic goals and respond swiftly to market trends and customer needs.
Ultimately, BPR leads to substantial performance improvements across various metrics, driving organizations towards renewed purpose and success. Whether it's faster turnaround times, higher-quality outputs, or increased customer satisfaction, the measurable and impactful results of BPR provide a blueprint for sustainable growth and competitive advantage. In a world where change is the only constant, BPR stands as a transformative approach to achieving business excellence.

Businesses must optimize their supply chain to remain competitive. Seamlessly integrating freight forwarding, trucking, and warehousing services can significantly improve efficiency, reduce costs, and enhance customer satisfaction. A well-coordinated logistics strategy is essential for businesses dealing with large shipments, furniture storage, and distribution operations.
The Importance of an Integrated Logistics Approach
A logistics service provider in Singapore must ensure a seamless flow of goods from the manufacturer to the end customer. This process involves multiple stages, including freight forwarding, trucking, and warehousing. When these elements operate in isolation, inefficiencies arise, leading to delays and increased costs. However, integrating them into a cohesive system offers several benefits:
Cost Efficiency: Reduced handling, storage, and transportation costs through streamlined operations.
Faster Delivery: Optimized transit times due to better coordination between different logistics components.
Improved Inventory Management: Centralized storage and real-time tracking enhance stock control.
Better Resource Utilization: Trucks and warehouses are used efficiently, reducing idle time and wastage.
Enhanced Scalability: Businesses can scale operations more effectively by utilizing integrated logistics services.
Customer Satisfaction: Faster deliveries and accurate order fulfillment enhance the overall customer experience.
Freight Forwarding: The First Step in Logistics Optimization Freight forwarding is the backbone of global supply chains. It involves managing the transportation of goods across international borders using various modes, including air, sea, and land. A logistics service provider specializing in freight forwarding plays a crucial role in:
Customs Clearance: Handling documentation and compliance requirements to ensure smooth international trade.
Carrier Selection: Choosing the most cost-effective and reliable transportation options.
Cargo Consolidation: Combining smaller shipments to optimize container space and reduce costs.
Route Optimization: Selecting the best routes to minimize transit time and costs.
Risk Management: Identifying and mitigating potential risks such as delays, damage, and unforeseen expenses.
By partnering with a reliable freight forwarder, businesses can streamline their global shipping processes and reduce the risks associated with international logistics.
Trucking: Bridging the Gap Between Freight and Warehousing
Once goods arrive at ports or distribution centers, trucking services become essential for last-mile delivery. Efficient trucking operations ensure timely deliveries and minimize disruptions. Key strategies for optimizing trucking include:
Fleet Management: Using GPS tracking and route optimization software to reduce delays and fuel consumption.
Load Optimization: Maximizing truck capacity to lower transportation costs per unit.

How Race, Age and Gender Shape Attitudes Towards Mental HealthThinkNow
?
Mental health has been in the news quite a bit lately. Dozens of U.S. states are currently suing Meta for contributing to the youth mental health crisis by inserting addictive features into their products, while the U.S. Surgeon General is touring the nation to bring awareness to the growing epidemic of loneliness and isolation. The country has endured periods of low national morale, such as in the 1970s when high inflation and the energy crisis worsened public sentiment following the Vietnam War. The current mood, however, feels different. Gallup recently reported that national mental health is at an all-time low, with few bright spots to lift spirits.
To better understand how Americans are feeling and their attitudes towards mental health in general, ThinkNow conducted a nationally representative quantitative survey of 1,500 respondents and found some interesting differences among ethnic, age and gender groups.
Technology
For example, 52% agree that technology and social media have a negative impact on mental health, but when broken out by race, 61% of Whites felt technology had a negative effect, and only 48% of Hispanics thought it did.
While technology has helped us keep in touch with friends and family in faraway places, it appears to have degraded our ability to connect in person. Staying connected online is a double-edged sword since the same news feed that brings us pictures of the grandkids and fluffy kittens also feeds us news about the wars in Israel and Ukraine, the dysfunction in Washington, the latest mass shooting and the climate crisis.
Hispanics may have a built-in defense against the isolation technology breeds, owing to their large, multigenerational households, strong social support systems, and tendency to use social media to stay connected with relatives abroad.
Age and Gender
When asked how individuals rate their mental health, men rate it higher than women by 11 percentage points, and Baby Boomers rank it highest at 83%, saying it¡¯s good or excellent vs. 57% of Gen Z saying the same.
Gen Z spends the most amount of time on social media, so the notion that social media negatively affects mental health appears to be correlated. Unfortunately, Gen Z is also the generation that¡¯s least comfortable discussing mental health concerns with healthcare professionals. Only 40% of them state they¡¯re comfortable discussing their issues with a professional compared to 60% of Millennials and 65% of Boomers.
Race Affects Attitudes
As seen in previous research conducted by ThinkNow, Asian Americans lag other groups when it comes to awareness of mental health issues. Twenty-four percent of Asian Americans believe that having a mental health issue is a sign of weakness compared to the 16% average for all groups. Asians are also considerably less likely to be aware of mental health services in their communities (42% vs. 55%) and most likely to seek out information on social media (51% vs. 35%).
AI Trends in Creative Operations 2024 by Artwork Flow.pdfmarketingartwork
?
Creative operations teams expect increased AI use in 2024. Currently, over half of tasks are not AI-enabled, but this is expected to decrease in the coming year. ChatGPT is the most popular AI tool currently. Business leaders are more actively exploring AI benefits than individual contributors. Most respondents do not believe AI will impact workforce size in 2024. However, some inhibitions still exist around AI accuracy and lack of understanding. Creatives primarily want to use AI to save time on mundane tasks and boost productivity.
Organizational culture includes values, norms, systems, symbols, language, assumptions, beliefs, and habits that influence employee behaviors and how people interpret those behaviors. It is important because culture can help or hinder a company's success. Some key aspects of Netflix's culture that help it achieve results include hiring smartly so every position has stars, focusing on attitude over just aptitude, and having a strict policy against peacocks, whiners, and jerks.

Google's Just Not That Into You: Understanding Core Updates & Search IntentLily Ray
?
1. Core updates from Google periodically change how its algorithms assess and rank websites and pages. This can impact rankings through shifts in user intent, site quality issues being caught up to, world events influencing queries, and overhauls to search like the E-A-T framework.
2. There are many possible user intents beyond just transactional, navigational and informational. Identifying intent shifts is important during core updates. Sites may need to optimize for new intents through different content types and sections.
3. Responding effectively to core updates requires analyzing "before and after" data to understand changes, identifying new intents or page types, and ensuring content matches appropriate intents across video, images, knowledge graphs and more.
