Mock Rounds can be quite useful for candidates and they might be willing to pay for it too. But harder problem is supply of professionals.
This works well when there is wide range of professionals conducting these rounds. Most professionals (good ones) are tied to their jobs, make good money and would rather spend and hour with family or friends than conducting an interview that pays less than 50$ or so.

You can check out tripple byte, although not similar model but they seem to have figured out supply side well, mostly due to its association with YC.

>All the coding teachers I know are men. All of them work at bootcamps or non-profits that accept school-aged girls.

And yet, some parents are reluctant to bring their girls. Hmmm.

It doesn't keep ALL men out of teaching. FTFY.

I know what you want to say. I'm concern trolling and exaggerating. Let's agree to disagree. I'm sure Dinah didn't post this rebuttal with hopes of reading a flame war. I replied with my perspective. I'm sure she'd love to hear yours instead of hearing you try to tear mine down to fit your world view. Looking forward to your top level post direct to her.
It's pretty much impossible to figure out if a company is a $1B or $10B company when reading an application. We use this as more of a thought experiment than anything else.

When I read an application, I force myself to imagine a world in which this idea + team could create a really big company. If that's true, than I'm interested. If not, I'm less likely to want to go further.

> "Very nearly called a denialist" sounds a lot like not being called a denialist.

"Synthetic" was the word used. What does that refer to if not an agent of someone being paid to distribute (denialist) propaganda? Also "naive".

And were you calling this a reasonable response to Clanan: "a classic denialist tactic...an intellectually dishonest gambit"

Name-calling with sophisticated insults is still name-calling. If this is what you mean by "shrill criticism", I don't see how that's intended to do anything but control the discourse by driving people away.
For enterprise companies, this is definitely useful, but not definitive.
"just as bad a job as Windows 7 " is not true, its much better in this respect but sill not perfect. The Creators update improves it even more as now MMC panels render fonts correctly.
sorry - what is "it" in your comment? Do you mean the medium was often curved, like on the sides of bowls?
The delivery guy would not like that though.
>But the "magic" in this case is that properties can be methods. Once you know that how is it any different than methods?

It's different because you have to apply that general knowledge in every single case when reading code that you are not familiar with.

In Go or Java, the information on whether a.x is a constant time variable access or a function call of arbitrary complexity is available at the call site. You don't have to look it up. It's one less thing to do when reading code.

And when you do have to look up what an expression means, how straightforward is it? Consider this expression:

f(x)

In Go f(x) means whatever the function f does, and f is exactly one function in the current package.

f(x) in C++ (and to a slightly lesser degree in Java, C# or Swift) is one of a set of functions called f. Knowing which one actually gets called requires knowledge of tens of pages of name lookup rules plus knowledge of possibly large swaths of the codebase.

It is often claimed that languages more powerful than Go just have a steeper learning curve. But it's not true. Even if you know all the name lookup rules of your favorite language (do you?), you still have to apply them every single time you read unfamiliar code.

In my view it's pretty simple. If you have to read a lot of unfamiliar code all the time then Go is great. If you can know both a more powerful language and your codebase inside out, then Go will be frustrating for its lack of abstraction features.
M&A activity for technical startups seems to start when the company brings in "professional management" (that is, non-technically skilled managers) and transitions to being a "real" company. The new management needs something to do, finds the company's technology outside of their comfort zone, and likes the business social experience of M&A. Sometimes M&A works but mostly it does not. The industry is littered with acquisitions that did not work.
It doesn't. It works well for me (using Chrome 56.0.2924.87) and I don't have the extension.
Yeah...OpenSSL's difficulties cannot be _really_ fixed unless the the API is allowed to change.

It's a hard slog either way.

It would be ridiculous to expect Canonical (and even moreso, the author alone) to rewrite juju in another language as a simple comparison. Even if it were feasible, the comparison would be polluted by the experience gained by building the application initially (or you could rebuild with a completely new team of developers, but then you're introducing a whole new set of variables). The best we can reasonably do is compare applications aggregating on language.
Yes! I'll make that adjustment.

Currently there is a stats page for all of your projects here: https://prehave.com/stats - I will make one that is a bit more specific to your project. I am collected all of the necessary information to build out the pages.

Right now, I'm working on the engagement emails that help users get the most out of the product.

Im currently designing the entire site to have the longest user engagement over time. I was initially going the route of making the site feature rich and highly sharable, but decided it's better to have less users who truly love the product.

If there are any other features you want, please feel free to email me directly at lenny@prehave.com
Since Lisp flamewars are to the average Hackernews what catnip is to a cat, Hackernews pounces on a years-old quick-start guide to Lisp for university students who took AI as an elective to meet their major requirements, and who will likely end up hating Lisp with the fury of a thousand suns by the time they graduate.

Hi Aaron, I'm about to submit our application for cosum, a mobile marketplace that lets people use coworking spaces worldwide on demand per hour instead of months. So basically we're changing the unit from a month to an hour (AWS > Server > Minute) so people pay their actual usage. We lower the price for consumers, increase their flexibility and increase the revenue of spaces by using their resources smarter.

I introduced this model at my own coworking space and it's a huge success. The idea to make this model available on a worldwide mobile marketplace is only 2 weeks old and I started working with 3 of my members on it. As they are all freelancers, they can't just start with something full-time without funding. So I created a prototype/milestone deal with them, paying a little out of my pocket now and more when I raise money + possibility to become co-founders. No shares etc. have been discussed yet. How would you put this in the application? And one more question: We don't have a demo yet, shall I include a possible link for it or is there a way of updating you guys. I'm confident we can show progress in the next days. Thanks!
Generally within the first two weeks. The variance here is usually based on familiarity and affinity for our technology stack, as well as experience level. I also try to make sure all new engineers have a team mentor available to ask questions and help them along with their tasks, code review, and first deployments. I make it clear to the mentor about my expectations around their time investment in making their new teammate successful.

More than two weeks suggests the dev environment is suboptimal and requires too much tribal knowledge to get things done. It also suggests the new developer isn't being setup for success by their mentor or the tasks aren't well thought out.

More than four weeks, and you have to look at the new developer and see if they are the right fit. Getting signals from their mentor is really important in gauging this.
Yes, Windows 7. I have heard that newer version are no better in this regard but can't speak for them directly as I am still on 7.

Hi @smt88 - thanks for your reply. Makes sense to what you said. I can imagine some people may be uncomfortable taking the mock interview. However I have a different way to implement it, which is pleasant for both interviewer and interviewee. I started two companies so know very well how difficult is it to sell products to users. Thats why I want to get some feedback before starting a new idea. I am a developer so I put one pager website (I am not sure if I am allowed to share links here so did not) to seek interest but your suggestion of posting on craigslist is excellent. Thanks a lot for your thoughts.

Maybe, but there is no evidence that it would work better than a more targeted approach. DDT kills a lot of different insects, both the good and the bad. It's like using a sledgehammer when what you really want is a pair of tweezers.

I learnt game programming and OpenGL from the ground up using CL. If it were not for CL, I probably would not have the patience to hang around.

I used LispWorks OpenGL bindings and with vertical sync integration, live updates to a running OpenGL program after modifying the code is/was super fun.

The biggest advantage I have found using CL is in learning hard topics as you at least have the language and the tooling get out of your way helping you focus on the problem at hand.

I think it's more accurate that the Chinese speakers are saying "I can" (可以). It's clearly an answer in the affirmative. If you wanted a more explicit response, you could say "I will" (我会 or 会的).

Yes I agree with you. This is my problem with GMO -- not the 'frankengene' pseudo-science crap, but the ecological/economic problems you are mentioning here.

Are U.S. jobs vulnerable to workers with H-1B visas?
I've heard this before. A little over two years ago, I was asking for what amounted to a 22% increase in salary. I was perfectly within market range with the increase. The HR person said she couldn't authorize this. I politely ended the interview without answering any of her other questions.
A lot of the differences are based around choosing what is optimal, instead of what is similar to Ruby. Without context, I'd prefer `property` over `attr_accessor`.

As for the effect on porting code, it's still very easy to port code. I ported over ActiveSupport's Inflector module(s), and approximately 75% of the code was untouched, 20% was minor tweaks (i.e. single to double quotes), and 5% required actual changing. It was a rather quick process.

Here is a list of articles so far about methane capture and biogas. This is lab based experiments in small quantities (~50ml) but it could be scaled up. So in a foggy smog future where we all live in domes, these methane processors could slowly grab the energy back from the atmosphere.

"History" is a misnomer here. That term is usually used to refer to the time since the invention of writing, roughly 5,000 years ago. CO2 levels have never been anywhere close to current levels in that period.

CO2 levels have been this high, and much higher, in the distant past. But the climate has also varied enormously in the distant past as well. Roughly 55 million years ago, the planet had nearly no ice. A bit over two billion years ago, it's believed that the planet was almost entirely covered in ice.

So no, it's not really a reasonable issue. CO2 levels have varied a great deal, as has the climate. Nothing in the Earth's climate past suggests that the current dramatic rise in CO2 levels wouldn't also result in dramatic changes to the climate.
I use two 24" 4K displays and scale the image to look like 2560x1440 per monitor (macOS). It took a while to get used to the smaller UI, but I love the amount of space I get.

Edit: The rendered viewport per monitor is 5120x2880 (=2560x1440 Retina), so everything is sharp.
Excellent comment! I disagree about one thing though: I think, at least here in Holland, Google would be missed quite a bit more than Amazon. I don't know anyone who uses Amazon, so them disappearing wouldn't have too much of an effect on my world.

Google, on the other hand, is a crucial part of the lives of many people around me. Almost everyone I know uses Gmail, and Google Docs (spreadsheets, etc.) are not only used all over the place by various people collaborating, but often crucial parts of the infrastructure of many of their business. Everyone I know who has tried other search engines keeps coming back to google, about half of my friends are on Android phones and use google calendar and their assistant.

Basically, Google seems to have multiple tentacles into each and everyone I know. Amazon, in contrast, is a 'web shop' that most of the people I know don't even use because there are local, more popular alternatives (Bol.com, for one).

I suspect if Amazon went under, the businesses relying on their cloud services would panic, but just move to another service. Google, on the other hand, would be sorely missed by tons of people in tons of small and big ways.
Walmart will play in enough similar businesses to keep them in check.

That's a good point. Might be a good workaround to sort of "sandbox" the password manager from your active web browser. Have a second browser with the plugin installed that you use only to copy the password to your clipboard and then paste into the password field.

> I've never seen such behavior in my life.

Which behavior, the asking for phone numbers or the getting annoyed?

Many major chains in the US have some sort of "loyalty" program that requires a phone number, email address, or both.

As for the getting annoyed, I've gotten countless eyerolls and a few snide comments when I've politely declined to give a phone number.

Your linked article does not say anything about the scientific basis of Carlson's claims.

I will say Carlson's claims were overdone. The book title, "Silent Spring", implies the extinction of all songbirds, and most songbirds were not affected by DDT.

But here's the facts: all birds which eat fish or other birds had a massive dieback which reversed in the 1970s. For example, consider Bald Eagles and Golden Eagles. The former eats fish and died off; the latter eats mammals and did much better. It wasn't just one species: every fish-eating bird died off: cormorants, pelicans, Bald Eagles, egrets. If DDT does not explain this die-off and recovery, what do you propose to explain this preferential near-extinction?

The "DDT is Innocent" train of thought is, in my view, wishful thinking on the part of some who want environmentalists to always be wrong. They were right on this one.

Yeah I know this, and hopefully they get it right, unfortunately I'm not there yet. To be fair .NET Core has been great otherwise, I have been able to develop from Ubuntu (used Sublime Text, which I didn't use the plugins since they seem abandoned or something) gave Rider a try but it was buggy at times. I wish Microsoft releases either a plugin for MonoDevelop, or "Visual Studio for Linux" at some point.
This[1] is a fascinating book that delves into this subject in an interesting way. In addition to looking at each letter of the modern Latin alphabet and its history and evolution, the author extrapolates the evolution of each character into three possible future forms that are influenced by different writing implements. It's also quite beautiful in its layout, typography, and presentation of information. Unfortunately it looks like it may now be out of print.

I think you are mis-interpreting the Sherman Act. Monopolies are not illegal -- from further down in the article you linked to:

The act is not meant to punish businesses that come to dominate their market passively or on their own merit, only those that intentionally dominate the market through misconduct, which generally consists of conspiratorial conduct of the kind forbidden by Section 1 of the Sherman Act, or Section 3 of the Clayton Act.

The FTC also has more information: https://www.ftc.gov/tips-advice/competition-guidance/guide-a...
