Sorry, I didn't get it. What was the 'right' answer?

It depends on the situation.

Sometimes you just have a bad interviewer who is looking for something specific from you but isn't telling you. If you're experienced in these interviews, you catch the signs and adapt by asking questions to suss out which direction the interviewer wants to take it.

Sometimes your answer is plausible but the interviewer wants to see you justify it. Sometimes your answer is wrong but the interviewer wants to see if you can reason your way through it, and maybe come up with an alternative.

If you're junior/inexperienced, it's often hard to tell and it'll feel arbitrary/unfair, and unfortunately that's just how it goes. As a more senior/experienced candidate, you can often figure out which situation you're in by asking questions to feel out the interviewer and then try to pivot during the interview, though it still takes valuable minutes out of the interview that you could have otherwise spent showing your competence.

Thank you!

"Postgres, because..."

They want a conversation to see how you think, not an actual answer.

Which is stupid, because they asked a question that the person didn't need to think to answer. So they didn't get to see them think.

Apparently some combo of kissing the arse and reading the mind of the interviewer...

Isn't that the case though? Where's the separation of powers or the rule of law in the US?

To be clear, I'm not favoring any kind of such action, just holding the honesty of the statement.

> The fact that such a fuss is being made about low-grade oil is a concern in itself.

Keep in mind there's a lot of 'idle' refining capacity at the southeastern coast of the US which was built for heavy oil.

A bit of a tangent, but the more complete reason depends on what civilization (Aztecs/Incas), the common factor is an extreme loss of life due to old world disease.

Additionally, for the projectile velocity at the time the gambeson-like garment the Aztecs had available was surprisingly effective.

Why unfortunately? Isn't that a good thing? (Assuming > 0% will switch to Linux instead of iOS)

Honestly, as much as I prefer Linux for most things Linux staying pat and macOS stealing market share from Windows is almost as good as Linux taking those users. I think we’re currently seeing a trend starting of people leaving Windows for each of them, and some users for both of them.

Funny if not tragic. I was impressed at how good the styling of the page was until I realized the css did not load.
