Ask HN: Retaking Failed Technical Interviews

Ask HN: Retaking Failed Technical Interviews
3 by dlivingston | 2 comments on Hacker News.
About a month ago, I went through a round of interviews at both Apple and Microsoft. I received very positive feedback on my background and experience, but ultimately failed the technical interviews. Since then, I’ve studied and “grinded” LeetCode obsessively and feel confident that I would pass most technical interviews. Can I email the recruiters from those failed interviews, asking to be reinterviewed for similar positions now that I’m more prepared?

John Wick Pinball Machine Announced, Touts Pinball’s First AI-Augmented Software

The next Stern Pinball machine will be based on the John Wick movie franchise, including music, movie clips, and likenesses of all major characters – most importantly that of Keanu Reeves, who graces the art and presumably many clips of assassinations. This is not Keanu’s first pinball appearance – he’s already been the star of the 1995 machine from Williams, Johnny Mnemonic, and Reeves was a cast member that appeared in Williams’ Bram Stoker’s Dracula, which was also a game in 1993. John Wick seems to be primarily themed around assassinations appropriately, and that’s where things get weird. Causing trouble for you is an AI-controlled opponent. Here’s how Stern says this all will work: To raise the stakes, John Wick pinball introduces Stern’s all-new dynamic AI combat system, an innovation that brings the frenetic combat of the legendary films to the game. The Stern team has created a primitive video game AI system to control the enemy lights on the playfield, setting the John W...

Monster Hunter Wilds Nears 1 Million Peak Concurrent Players on Steam — and It’s Only Going to Get Bigger From Here

Image
Monster Hunter Wilds has enjoyed a huge launch, with nearly 1 million concurrent players on Steam. Capcom’s action adventure game launched on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X and S, and quickly became the eighth most-played game on Steam of all-time with an incredible 987,482 concurrent users. To put it into context, that’s ahead of the all-time peaks of best-sellers Elden Ring , Hogwarts Legacy , and Baldur’s Gate 3 . It’s already outstripped its predecessor on Steam, where 2018's Monster Hunter World enjoyed a peak concurrent figure of 334,684. And it’s worth noting that Monster Hunter Wilds’ actual peak concurrent figure will be much higher, given neither Sony nor Microsoft report player numbers. The question now is how high can that Steam concurrent figure go as Monster Hunter Wilds heads into its first weekend on sale and beyond. It seems likely it will crack the 1 million concurrents mark later today, overtaking Cyberpunk 2077 in the process. Could 2 million be ...
