I won't forget the in-person interview round where I coded a frontend visualization for a data graph (tracking global shipping), then fielded a post-work general interview round from the whole company (~10 ppl) about specifics and "choices" made during a rush to finish. I ended up not going due to comp, but they were acquired months later. Life is funny.

Late thought, but you could set up "beacon" locations for each client to pull a local grid derived from coordinates?

Wouldn't solve that 1s latency thing, but might be interesting in other applications.

That free upgrade refuses to work with my hardware. I am glad they are continuing security, but they are literally forcing me to install another OS (as I understand the security difference).

This project improves the AI, but might not be quite what you want?

I used to play a tcg a bit too seriously, and sometimes seeing incorrect game states would trigger something. Part of tracking game states and derivations I guess. Only sometimes helpful in software.

Some time ago, this was important to decipher the marketing behind MongoDB. Their benchmarks ran with a loose isolation (read_uncommitted iirc) that didn't guarantee a durable flush, and they'd benchmark against defaults from postgres, etc, which didn't use this isolation.

Clearly it worked for them, but I spent a few different stints cleaning up after developers who didn't know this sort of thing.
