My preparation to the interview

 - Please, introduce yourself.

- Yes. My name is Timur, but you can call me Tim. I am a fullstack developer at Cloud LLC formerly known as Startpack LLC. We have three main projects. The first one is startpack.ru. It's the site where people can find plenty of information about their favourite cloud services. The second one which I have been working on is Firework Project. Firework is a crossplatform desktop application, which is a alternative vision to the commonly known browsers. It has many handy features like supporting multiple profiles for any service, generating independent windows for each of them and many another useful tools. The last one is a project somehow related to the cryptocurrencies, but I can't tell you more because of NDA.

- Please, tell me more about your university project

Well, imagine you are responsible on creating a timetable for a large education organization. You have different kinds of information: people, rooms, teachers and education courses. You need to create a timetable, where all of this entities are used in the most efficient way. So, every student have their classes, all rooms are big enough and teachers have only one education course at the moment. It's a plenty of rules, isn't it. So, every time you need a new one you must ensure that you haven't broken anything you had added before. Usually, there a group of people, which are responsible for this kind of job. In my university the 8 people were used to do this job regulary. My solution can reduce the number of people on this team down to one. This man is only responsible to grab information and put it into my system. This program can take your information and automaticaly verify it through every rule in your system. You just add new rule or new entity.

- You were participating in competitive programming contests. Tell me more.

Yes, I were. It was a great experience. I think it helped understand that programming is my passion. We had a great team. All of this people are students of my school. We didn't have a teacher, so our duty was to teach eachother. More experienced guys teacher the less ones. During this time, I learned much about algortihms and data-structures. I used to write my programms in C++.

Ecological Problems [Drill]

Since the ancient time, nature has served Man. People used to get most out of the nature without any harmful consequences to the environment. But since Civilization started growing rapidly, this harmony has been violated.

Lots of manufactures, factories and another industrials has been created. Every year world industry pollutes the atmosphere with about 1000 million tons of dust and other harmful substances. Many cities suffer from smog. Londons is among them. "Super cities" are used to having a harmful ecological situation due to the overpopulation, transport problems and selfish behavior of it's citizens who don't care of environment well-being.

Moreover, different kinds of ecological disaster continue to take place: atomic tragedies, where thousands of people and fauna die, explosions and leakage of chemicals.

Water, soil, air are the crucial parts not only of human live but of all living creatures of this world. Pollution and another disasters deprive animals and plants of their normal conditions. As result, hundreds of species has gone for the last 100 years. Unfortunately, this tendency hasn't stoped yet...

Nowadays, people are trying to carry out the ecological problems. Lot's of different environmental ecological agencies, research centers have been made to discuss and propagate the caring towards the nature. Scientists all over the world develop ecologically pure and no-waste technologies. They can help us to reserve the balance of our beautiful and unique home but the question is: Is humanity thoughtful enough to change their perception upon the nature?"

How the processor works [Homework]

A processor consists of many different electronics circuits and devices for performing control functions, arithmetic and logic operations, and data transfers. Data may be transferred from backing storage to the internal memory or from internal memory to the arithmetic unit by means of conductive channels known as buses. The part of the processor which controls data transfers between the various input and output devices is called the control unit.

ROM - memory known as "firmware" used for storing part of the operating system and application software; cannot be rewritten.

RAM - used for temporary storage of application programms and data.

Clock - an electronic circuit, that generates electronic pulses at fixed time intervals to controll the timing of all operations in the processor.

Data bus - group of signal lines used to transmit data in parallel from one element of computer to another.

Address bus - used to send address details between the memory and the address register

Control bus - a group of signal lines dedicated to the passing of control signals

Accumulators - used to store numeric data during processing

Registers - group of bistable devices used to store information in a computer system for high-speed access

Microprocessor Chip - consists of an arithmetic-logic unit, one or more working registers to store data being processed, and accumulators for storing the result of calculations.

Problems in big cities: Moscow, London, New York. [Drill]

Every city has it's own history. And this history it's closely related with the history of the whole humanity. Since people are not perfect, it's common for them to have problems.

Nowadays, people spread throughout the world making societies. And despite the fact that they have different culture and place where they live, common problems take place anyway.

The first one is the problem of overpopulation. Millions of people try to live in one place, reducing the amount of the private space. For example, New-York has the population over than 8 million people. Indeed, it's more than Australia or Sweden have.

The second one is the transport problem, which implies from the first one. The number of people is growing and the number of vehicles is growing too.

Another one is ecological problem. Since industrial revolution happened, a lot of new manufactures have been invented. People are exploiting the nature with the wish to fulfill their growing requirements. As the result, we have many kinds of threat for the Earth's well-being. For instance, in London 52 000 people died due to extreme level of smog in 1952.
