I also agree with this. When I interview them, my goal is to interview the client, and their goal is to interview me. If I am faced with too many impediments to reaching my goal, I will choose not to continue the interviewing process. Employers need to realize that the process is indeed a two way street and that they need to convince us that we should work with them as much as we need to convince them why they should want to work with us.
The only unfortunate point is that its a government project.

Tom, thanks for your kind words.

I am sorry we lost your business. Do you remember what the feature was?

Now to address your broader point, we are at a stage in Zoho (over 1200 people in the company Zoho Corp, check zohocorp.com, with Zoho.com division alone having around 400 people) where venture capital would not make a difference to the way we operate (except that we would necessarily have to worry about an exit for the VCs). So I can say with confidence it was not lack of financial resources that led to us not adding the feature. It is most likely due to competing priorities in our product teams, and the fact that you simply cannot keep adding people (however qualified), bloat a team, and still expect results.
Most humans think about the world in a framework of justice. I believe this innovation started with Zoroastrianism and then spread to post-exilic Judaism which, of course, led to Christianity and Islam. One of the defining characteristics of Zoroastrianism was its emphasis not just on accountability, but on individual accountability. More info: http://www.newworldencyclopedia.org/entry/Zoroastrianism

Vedic religions have different historical roots (although both Vedic religions and Zoroastrianism share a common Aryan heritage). Vedic religions, therefore, have less of a sense of justice and I wonder if there is less of the Just-World Fallacy there. If you think that the concept of karma is the Vedic religions' take on justice, then you may be misunderstanding karma. Vedic religions don't have a strong concept of the individual self, so "you reap what you sow" doesn't quite capture the concept because there is no definite "you".

Please don't get me wrong, but I never understood what "social" bookmarking is useful for. As long as my supposed ignorance persists, I'm sorry to crash the party with a simple question: why is Delicious relevant?

Assuming many or most here think it is relevant, it should be possible to respond to my question reasonably, without buzzwords and with only moderate downvoting.
It does sound like an amazing idea, but I can't help but worry about the focus of redis. It's a long time that cluster is "in the pipes" and it never seems to get focus for more than a couple weeks (I may be wrong, but that's how it looks from outside).
I just hope cluster-ed redis will eventually show up, as well as disk-backed redis... etc.
A major contributor of the California homeless problem has been supposed to be tied to the de-institutionalization of many people of mental health institutions back in the 60s - its been a sad state of affairs since then. A patchwork of policy with good intentions but poor execution and funding. (https://www.kqed.org/news/11209729/did-the-emptying-of-menta...)
Equities are a good investment because that's where government bailout money goes. Until one day it stops or until enough rich/richish people try to sell equities for consumption it real assets (like building a house) and then the bottom falls out.
As another commenter has noted, the most likely reason for that is missing gamma correction. An sRGB value of 128 is dithered as 50% black, 50% white, when it should be around 78% black, 22% white.
> Oh? So in an example where B has a method m, and A inherits from B, how is it that `this` refers to something different when calling B.m() than when calling A.m()? They're the exact same function.

Just like in regular class-based OO languages, "this" is an implicit argument of every method that refers to the object on which the method was invoked.

You can even avoid manually doing all the "this" juggling yourself: Make a delegate class, which holds a reference to a method (including its captured variables) and a reference to the "this" object. When a method is retrieved from a an object, actually construct a delegate referencing both the method and the object. (If the method is retrieved after traversing the inheritance chain "upwards", fix the "this" reference along the way "downwards".) Finally, when a delegate is assigned to a variable or as a member of another object, get rid of the "this" reference and assign the method only instead. Client code never gets to see the "this" juggling.

Totally agree. And it could be state-of-the-art, methinks! I'd say decentralization is of extreme importance and also a way for people to converse with static/dynamic IPs (lol).

What stack do you recommend to say a bootstrapping startup of say less than 10 people?
It could well be true, though distinguishing the cause of her symptoms - whether it is an allergic reaction (i.e. the immune system inappropriately overreacting), problems in absorbing or metabolising fructose (so primarily related to intestines or liver), or something else - would be difficult without the involvement of a medical professional.
It's been maturing fast and most of those problems have been fixed, although I wouldn't be surprised if you continue to see problems (and if you do filing issues would be much appreciated) :)
yeah weird
For a brief period of time you were able to gift other Xbox Live users Microsoft Points.

It doesn't take much thinking to figure out why they pulled the feature shortly thereafter.

A, ok then. Case closed.
Explain how. Also, I removed that word. You were right to call me out for that.
See also "Ivory Coast" versus "Côte d'Ivoire" and plenty of other place names that exist in between localized and non-localized versions. Some people say "Ivory Coast" others say "Côte d'Ivoire" and others vary based on the week.
I completely agree with this; I understand and have sympathy for Ike's position but like you I cannot proceed if I can't establish that you can code. The technical interview is currently the tool I use for that.

Having said that, I think that an at-home project prior to the interview is useful both for pre-screening but also as a sanity check on the conclusions of the technical interview - if someone blitzes the project but flunks the interview that would make think that maybe the issue was the interview (or the interviewer) and not the interviewee.

Lastly, I think that if someone is aware that they do not do well at technical interviews then the best way to deal with this is be up-front with the interviewer, and try to bolster your case by having some code (perhaps on Github) for them to review. No-one I know likes an awkward or failed interview - we want people to succeed - and if you're honest with me about the issues I'll take that into account.
I think that there are other problems here though; if you are going to be a part of an environment where you may experience adrenaline surges, you need to work through them. Skipping that part of an interview means that you won't be able to evaluate that response. One solution may be to include a high-stress part of the interview, but to weight it in the overall evaluation appropriately.

I always found buzzwords to be both purposeful and innocuous at the same time. The effect seems to be to present the speaker as dynamic but at the same time not saying anything too controversial or that can easily be refuted in normal conversation.

I am sure there is a genuine motivation behind this form of speech - any linguists or psychologists care to shed any light on this ?

Primarily do rails and ruby development. In working on my failed startup, I wound up doing a lot of stuff on some level, from backend ruby stuff where I did nearly all of the work, to JS on the front end (and lots in between). My SO helped me a lot on the front end with CSS, graphics, layout, and general design... and is in about the same job situation as me.
I'm not so sure. The other side of the coin is that ``{MD5, SHA1, SHA256, SHA512, SHA-3, etc}'' have had extensive peer review in the cryptography world.

There's a long history of ``clever new ways'' to use existing crypto algorithms turning out to have serious flaws -- a good example is early attempts to improve the strength of (56-bit key) DES by encrypting three times with three keys. This turns out to introduce enough non-randomness to make the result much weaker than one might expect; standard 3DES works by encrypting with the first key, decrypting with the second, and encrypting with the third, which results in very different properties of the output cyphertext.

I'm not saying BCrypt has the same sort of issues, but I'd like to see some cryptanalysis of this before trusting my users' data with it. Notably, there seems to be no links to such analysis on the BCrypt home page -- not even an argument from the author as to why this code should be cryptographically sound.
The "exciting spaces" really is one of the most important issues. Everyone who's ever told me to work in C# or Java is just in it for the money, and willing to goldrush to crappy enterprise-ware. Rather, I like Cocoa as it's the best way to interact with users who love their computers (other than Linux, 'natch.)

But yes, Microsoft is really doing some awesome conceptual stuff.
I don't think it's a bad idea, take a look at the history of Massive (http://www.massiveincorporated.com/) before you start out. From what I understand they attempted to put big brand ads into the maps of AAA games and haven't been very successful.

I know this isn't exactly what you were thinking, but there may be lessons to learn from them.
Yeah, funnily enough, over the last 15 years, Java's traversed the full spectrum of hater, from "script kiddie language that's too slow for real men's work like C", to "too much static typing and inflexible for rapid app development like Ruby"

Comparing today's media, to the media of old - where they colluded to hide FDR couldn't walk because of the shame/and attacks it'd lead to now, where Tech companies overtook print media and now themselves control the pitchforks and direct anger at the masses.

1984 Two minutes of hate is real, so very real, and it's quite sad how most people welcomed this into the world.

I've deleted my social media, twitters years before, and have divested myself completely from other platforms. There is nothing to be valued, gained or such,

The Internet should always be a decentralized, fragmented piece of human technology. The more centralized it becomes, the more authoritarian it is. And the orgs that become in control point the finger at others to show off how it's not them.

I hold no opinion on Trump, but these tech companies have to much power and it's a game of bidding where they can creep more and more into our lives and general lobbying to make the case that life is "better" with them here then it ever was before.

It is interesting to read the comments here and notice what brand-power GoPro has achieved.

Disagree, entirely. Knowing how a computer works is important when programming a computer. Just because you're not writing assembly when making a website doesn't mean you're not employing knowledge about a computer.
I think the main issue is that there are too many things grouped under the label of 'child pornography'.

I started coding when I was 12-13, when me and my bro got a C64 for Christmas one year. I learnt Basic and quickly moved onto 6502 assembly language, learning to hack games for infinite-lives, level selection, etc., plus a little bit of demo/intro coding. I learnt a lot by looking at the code of others — including much disassembling of object code. I was always interested in how folks were making things happen in games, how they were using the hardware.

When I was 17, I dropped out of college to take a job in games development. My first dev system was a second C64, but was quickly replaced by a BBC Model B, which in turn was replaced with an 8Mhz 286 Tandon PC, 2mb of RAM, EGA graphics, 5.25" floppy drives, 40mb HD, and a PDS card [0][1]. You'd assemble the code on the host, send it down to the target — IIRC, PDS had some handy debugging tools: breakpoints, single step, etc. Pretty impressive for the time, given the target platforms.

Later I learnt some assembly language for other common processors at the time (z80, 68k, 8086), and also started learning C/C++.

When the internet started to become more of a popular thing, I started learning both Javascript/variations and Java, and also picked up some VB skills.

Mid-90s, somewhat tired of games dev, I transitioned from games to front- and back-end web-based stuff, spending a number of years with a fairly successful startup company specialising in e-commerce.

Since then I've also learnt, and delivered projects in, a multitude of languages. Including (in no particular order) C#, Typescript, Python, Go.

So I've been coding for maybe 35+ years now, just over 30 years of which have been commercially/professionally.

I like coding. I am often particularly fascinated by interesting algorithms.

Ah, postmodernism! Where the words are made up, and intent doesn't matter!
And no unit tests can replace an actual person testing the software. Unit tests can catch bugs earlier but getting rid of a QA department (or even one person) manually testing features is worrisome. The developer will always be blind to their own work.

But it's not just software development, online news articles also tend to get worse with more journalists publishing without a proof-reader involved.
At this point I think the most important thing is that mob rule is shown to not be the way.

I don't know RMS, I don't even know much about RMS... but I have heard enough to know he's not the intolerant idiot he's been made out to be in these hateful letters. There are possibly other very reasonable criticisms for him being removed from his position, but the mob made that impossible to discuss now due to the overwhelming irreverent bias - so now they should be made to wait for a very long time.
Are you really stating that the issues with modern society in a ultracapitalist environment such as the US is... The diversity and push to treat each human as a human and not splitting people into groups based on ethnicity or sexual orientation?

That's a very bold claim that I'd like to know more what supporting arguments you have instead of just statements.

People seem to forget about the "save" functionality included in every web browser for some reason. You should save anything you deem important enough if you fear it might be gone one day. This is no different from acquiring a copy of an important book for your own shelf.

"The difference between the U.S. and China/Russia is that the people in China/Russia know the media is controlled by the powers that be."

That knowledge, sadly, doesn't prevent from believing propaganda made by the same media. I know a lot of Russians, and most of them (even otherwise smart ones) honestly believe even the most absurd propaganda statements.

the shortcut to think about it when designing a doc-based schema is as follows: what would be a one-to-one or one-to-many relationship in a traditional RDBMS would be embedded data in the document in a doc based store.

Doubtful. There are lots of cables on the northern tier between Seattle and the Chicago area that go through rural areas in the Dakotas, Montana, etc and Internet speeds are still not great there.
