The characters repelled me, I hated playing as Gruff Brooding Manly Man all the time. I could have dealt with that perhaps, but because the gameplay systems had so many issues I just put it down again and never even had a flicker of interest in going back.

Between us I think we've illustrated the distinction between "good setting" and "good game mechanics" and how they can influence whether somebody wants to play your game or not. But you definitely need at least one of them!

Yes, and there are programmes encouraging men to go into nursing.
Would you prefer them looking at your CV and immediately reject you without giving you a chance == test?
I felt that this kind of instruction was more related to story than to gameplay. Story-wise it wouldn't make sense that you're not told what to do there. That's kind of a theme for all the "boss" battles.. there's another character who knows more about the boss than you do. It also gives sense that the battle is more of a collaboration rather than you just figuring out some way to kill it.

I don't think they were worried about people not figuring out what to do. In other parts of the battles you have to figure out much harder stuff for yourself.
Now that we're at it: clickable things have the "hand" cursor.

All of the widget is actionable yet the cursor is not always pointy.

It's one of my pet peeves.

That being said, the animation is beautifully done and the widget very cute. This is just eye-candy.
Another less-recognised point is that in industry, you also need to ask "how can I maintain this?" and "what can go wrong with my algorithm?".

In one use case, a "blip" in your algorithm might mean showing the wrong kind of advertisement to a user. Not great, but ultimately no big deal. In another, it might mean automatically buying billions of dollars' worth of pumpkin futures (cf. Knight capital).

In the latter case you need a much greater penalty on model complexity, and much more emphasis on interpretability.
if you dont want to say that you work for the military, just say what youre working on.

Instead of "I'm working on stealth technology for unmanned carpet bombers" say "I work on next gen nanomaterials that can bend a broad range of wavelengths around objects - to make them invisible - like the invisibility cloak in harry potter".

Whatever. Frame your reality the way you want it to appear. You're not testifying before a court. Leave the things you dont want to say out.

Companies differ, and what they are asking of software engineers.

I was working with a brilliant guy in the same company. He was very technical and you could say that easily he was programming all day long non stop. His intelligence and technical expertise amazed me. Thing is he wasn't good with people skills, hence he wouldn't fit the company I am currently working for.

There are companies that hire devs to solve a problem and give them time, space etc to go all hardcore.
Then again there are companies that require from their dev's to be able to communicate with the rest of the team, and take part on meaningful theory-crafting meetings.

So neither whiteboarding, nor tell me a story question is wrong.

I just find it that whiteboarding difficult questions should be asked from the very technical jobs, and I've found whiteboarding difficult questions when interviewing for a company that wants to move out of wordpress to their own website in angular.

Minecraft can be good fun.

KOTOR is pretty awesome.

The Witcher 3 I thought was awful. I'd suggest watching some gameplay video from it first and see if you like the setting, because the gameplay's not good enough to overrule that if you don't. Lots of randomly getting stuck on tiny bits of foliage in the landscape.
This can also be an education problem. There can be big mismatches in what is easy and hard

If you're coming from a more FP background things like flipping a binary tree are silly obvious. If you spend a lot of time with C++, of course you know how to write a linked list with memory management. Python devs are probably way better at slicing and dicing data

There's a certain expectation of what's easy and hard, but it's really easy to have a mismatch given the diversity of education out there.
There is a deep and important difference between a reliable prediction and an actual explanation.
This is my understanding, yes - http://wiki.c2.com/?ImageBasedLanguage . Some Lisp systems and the Factor language also work like this (though Factor does a lot of work to ensure that the contents of your image matches the code on disk). I believe it's possible to strip down your image for deployment so it only includes code required by your application.

Then again, we live in the era of Docker, in which it's commonplace to ship an entire Linux filesystem along with your web app. So shipping a Smalltalk VM (2.6MB for Pharo 5.0) shouldn't be too much of a stretch.
>> Growing up, "just be yourself" comments made me incredibly self conscious. In many situations, I simply don't know the right thing to do and the stress from not knowing what to do makes it impossible to be myself because I don't know what to do. Getting a "just be yourself" comment when I reach out for help is the worst. Am I the only person who is confused? Am I missing a personality?

All of that not knowing what to do sounds more like fear of doing the wrong thing, and I'd guess that comes from past failures. Sometimes failures are learning experiences, but other times they become lasting reminders of our failures. Learning to put aside the failures and insecurities and outside influences is what "be yourself" means - at least that's how I have come to see it.

Recognizing that my comment here is unrelated to the central question around whether companies should have this data, the irony for NetPropex (and the hundreds of other companies in the same business) of this kind of data availability is that it results in a lot of cold emails and phone calls that largely go ignored. Thus, as the data has become more widespread, it has become less valuable. Buying a list of people to contact, in my experience, is like throwing money in the trash.

An alternative way of judging a degree (I'm not just playing Devil's advocate, this is what I believe) is that people who finished college - or worse, have a PhD - are people who do well in artificial, hierarchical environments, where prestige is overwhelmingly more important than knowledge or "getting things done". (You can see a similar mentality with government employees, for example.)

A good exemplification of this is in the Big Bang Theory show, where "Dr." Sheldon is obviously superior to any non-doctor around, no matter how badly adjusted he actually is in the real world. The fact that a lot of people believe that Sheldon is a good model to follow is seriously baffling to me.
There's a bit of music that occasionally appears which seems to reference the dawn theme, but a lot of standard Zelda musical cues are mostly absent, and almost none of the ones that are there go where you'd expect.

I'm nearing 30 and had almost given up on gaming.

Overwatch has got me playing more games than I had for years, though it's very different from the kind of game you're talking about. Playing it with friends and voicechat in particular is immensely fun, because it somehow feels more meaningful than any other multiplayer shooter - maybe it's the characters, maybe just the general tone, but either way it feels like I'm learning and achieving things.

Life is Strange does the transporting-to-a-world thing very nicely, though it's almost not a game (and many of the more game-ey elements detract from it IMO). Very cinematic, and a work of art in terms of storytelling - though I'm still not quite sure I'd call it fun.

Kerbal Space Program is fantastic in terms of giving you a sense of achievement, of building something through your own skill. My first successful moon mission was probably the best feeling I've ever got from a videogame.

Child of Light is a very cute hand-drawn, fairytale-themed, final-fantasy-esque adventure. Again maybe less a game as such, but a beautiful world to explore, though it's locked in the horrible dark dungeon of UbiSoft DRM. (Also be aware that it's full of doggerel, in keeping with the theme)
> Without DI you are forced to write slow and difficult to maintain integration tests instead of unit tests.

Integration tests are worthwhile even if you do have unit tests. They serve different purposes.
I find that you can keep with a class-based approach if you utilise your IOC container in your tests, and only swap out side-effectful classes (ORM, remote service clients, etc) with mocks. That way you don't need to concern yourself with the dependencies of the classes you're testing so you can refactor the underlying relationships and objects with impunity as long as you don't change the interfaces of the classes you're testing.

>So, businesses (like Comcast) can just earmark a few million dollars a year to keep buying whatever organization has the power to regulate them, and we (the people) can do nothing about it.

You are right that this is a big problem, however it is more an implementation flaw than a flaw of regulations.
A more strict enforcement of information and financial transparency could address the bribery concerns.

There is another problem that is perpetual in the interaction of government and corporations, which is that the corporation lawyer has many times, 10x or 100x, the financial incentive to make the bureaucrat ineffective, than the bureaucrat himself has to be effective.

I would suggest a (difficult) solution that any governmental office or agency should have their success evaluated in terms of economic impact by something like a team of independent economists every year or two.

The agency's funding as well as staff compensation would then be derived from that, as a fixed percentage of the societal benefit. I have no idea of the exact numbers, but the point is to create the same motivational incentives as the corporations have.

One side is working for themselves and reap the significant benefits of their hard work. The other side is working for all of society and really should also reap the benefits of their hard work.

To be fair, in that list, the spring entry didn't exactly run circles around the competition either. It's somewhere between the better PHP contenders and even behind grails (which can be pretty accurately described as spring with layer of slowness added on top). Really looks like there is something unfortunate going on with the idiomatic way to implement those examples on spring.

> This would only be compatible with object oriented languages.

Even then, it's only compatible with an implementation that either implements or stubs all the classes that a given STON body references. I can see where this makes sense for interop among Smalltalk environments with enormously complete standard libraries, where everything likely to be referenced in an arbitrary STON blob is available, but for interop among implementations in multiple languages, it's a no-go unless either:

- STON use is limited to a well-defined subset implemented by all parties in the interaction, or

- all languages use STON parsers which support automatically stubbing (ignoring, etc.) classes specified in content but which aren't available in the parsing context, or

- all parties in the interchange provide custom-implemented and probably dangerously incomplete translation layers between STON and the rest of the implementation.

That said, there are a couple of things here that I really like. I was about to say that, since es6 has a native symbol type, it might make a lot of sense to include symbol literals in a new version of JSON - but I've just taken the time to actually examine es6's symbol implementation for the first time in detail, and...well, I'm not sure precisely what it is, but I'm quite certain it's not what it claims to be, and its justification for even existing is gravely in doubt. That's pretty special, and it also means that STON symbols wouldn't even make sense in the context of es6, so never mind. The internal references in STON are pretty neat, too, but it'd be a hairball for any parser to implement and pretty useless unless every parser implements it, so never mind that too.

Oh well. If I weren't accustomed to compromise, I wouldn't spend so much time writing Javascript, would I? I will say, though, this "symbol" business really depresses whatever enthusiasm I had for deep-diving the post-ES5 variations of JS. If they're so far off the mark with something as trivially simple as symbols, God alone knows how badly they'll have handled the parts that are at all complex.
