Can you specify a little further? Are you interviewing for a job, or interviewing a candidate for a job? What level position is this junior/senior/VP Eng? I will assume interviewing and likely for a junior position...

If you are interviewing for a junior level position, I would mostly be prepared to describe applications you have created, included side projects. You will likely be given some application and work with the interviewer to design/implement it. Usually you can and should ask them questions and make it as much of a dialogue as possible. Many companies will expect you to actually write code in an interview, so be prepared for that. Usually this is in the language of your choice, but I would at least be prepared to do things in javascript as this is a front end position, and every front end person should understand javascript.

I don't really know for more senior roles, but I would imagine you'd be asked more "big picture" questions like what are the advantages/disadvantages to various web frameworks, why you would use one over another in various example applications. Also, perhaps how you would work to architect/possibly design some front end application.

Also, obviously know your resume- make sure that any languages/skills/frameworks on there you actually know and be prepared to talk about all your experience on there.

It's not a loan. It's free. At the end of the three years you can keep the software, continue using it, and never pay a dime to Microsoft (actually $100).

You can in theory, build Google on it, make $50B over 20 years, and never pay MS a dime, all while using MS software.

With that said, if you do want to upgrade to new versions of the software after 3 years, then you'll have to pay for upgrades. But that's like saying that someone giving you a new car for free isn't really free, if they don't give you a new car every year. Or if ATT and Apple give you an iPhone and service free for 3 years, its not really free unless they give you a new iPhone every 3 years (and free ATT service).

This matches my experience as well.

Like most things advocated by XP people, pair programming is simply soul crushing and meant to replace skill and experience ("I know it's not the simplest thing that could possibly work but my experience tells me we'll be needing this later") with mindless repetition.

Now that's something. I found the link to this if anybody else is interested:

I'll have to try it out and see how good it is.

There really is a huge hole in the market for a Rails-integrated WYSIWYG editor. There are tons of PHP ones. What I'm seeing is a lot of people are forced to run PHP on their server just for the editor and load it through AJAX.

Hopefully soon there'll be more ports of editors to Ruby.
Good point.

And yes, I agree. :-)
I find it important to know that people can't take my income just because I am rich or I am perceived to not be a valuable contributor to society.

I am not at all rich, but I am a rather spoiled college student funded by taxpayer money in the form of scholarship.
(though I actually work for it in the form of grades...but it's still not my money)

Even so, I don't want loophole that can be used to take people's property away from them.

Once you take property from the rich, you could conceivably begin to take away property from the middle class, and then classes under that until all property are owned by people in power.

The rule of law is a very important concept. It's something that I wouldn't want to violate to right perceived unfairness.

Please quote in context. The complete quote:

"In DSA, the k value is not a nonce. In addition to being
unique, the value must be unpredictable and secret. This
makes it more like a random session key than a nonce. When
an implementer gets this wrong, they expose the private
key, often with only one or two signatures."

There is no standard term for "nonce that must remain secret", hence I believe that "secret nonce" is the best I can do. The term "nonce" is general enough that it can be public; it only must be unique.

I take great pains to create a reasonable term where none exists because I agree terminology and consistency are important in crypto. If you have a better term, I'm happy to hear it.

Ultimate Hot Girl Effect Evilness:

My 30-year-old uber lawyer buddy has a gorgeous blonde fiance. She's in med school and is crazy smart. She's awesome.

My buddy decided at 27 that he wanted to get into chess. He got really into it, hired a teacher and by 29 or so was moving his rating up pretty well.

As a newcomer though, he often finds himself competing against 13-15 year old boys at his weekend tournements. In fact he's often the only person over 18 playing in some of these tournaments.

He has a good sense of humor about it, but some of these kids, he says, are just total turds to the other kids they compete against.

When he learns he has to play against a kid who's mean to other kids, he calls in the Fiance and has her sit behind him while he plays, just reading whatever she has to read for med school. She'll spend a whole Saturday sitting there behind him while he plays, her nose stuck in a book.

It just destroys the kids. He catches them trying to steal glances at her all the time during the games. Just breaks their chess mojo.

For the cool kids, kids who are struggling to figure out women at that age, he introduces them to her and she knows to treat them like the coolest guys in the room. Meanwhile, the mean bully kids get ignored and seethe in the corner.

I think you might need to go back and read the terms again :). You're given 3 years (for a $100 fee) of what amounts to an MSDN license (which is pretty restrictive) and then you need to pay. If you want to keep the MSDN-type thing (re-upping) you can - but if you've grown, you can't.

Which means you have to pop for licenses for VS, Exhange, Sharepoint, Office, SQL, Windows Server, etc. SQL and Windows Server is the big one... especially if you've built Google.
I had typed out a long and careful argument, but I think I'll just leave it at this:

Showing that tax revenue has grown doesn't say anything about the distribution of that burden which i would find more interesting.
In that case, I'll go for option b. But validating the attitude that hot techie-women should be paraded around as spectacles performing for the benefit of their men is not going to help us get there.

Note that if you keep your MSDN license, it doesn't entitle you to use much in production. You can't, for instance, run SQL Server in production using an MSDN license. Nor can you use Exchange and Windows Server.

> startups thrive on making radical departures from the status quo

Meanwhile, Pinboard.in quietly sucks up the Delicious community, using technology that's as dishwater-dull as possible.

Delicious itself is floundering, due to (among many other things) a problematic migration to a framework that was internally marketed as the sexy new thing. That framework wasn't NoSQL at all (quite the opposite) but the point stands that the cost of new frameworks can be dear.
On the latter point I agree with you, and I'm certainly not advocating that, merely suggesting we can do a lot more on our own to be agents of social change with the force of our moral convictions than would otherwise seem possible.

As for the question of our fundamental nature, we'll just have to leave it up to the philosophers. I appreciate your good natured debate, nonetheless.
Every child in America has the opportunity to become, if not rich, comfortable. Why do you see the accumulation of wealth as a problem?
I don't, but a lot of the world does, so I thought it's a good time to talk about goal setting apps. Clearly I am in the minority :-)
I teach (mediocre) college students. And I disagree.

It is not lack of access to information ('facts') that is a barrier to being an intellectual. It is a combination of inability/unwillingness to think analytically about information and ideas. IMHO.
I have to concede here – by the time I wrote this comment I was responding more to the general tone of the thread than to your article. I apologize for making you sound like a douche. Touchy subject for many.
My guess is this app doesn't need the resources he is throwing at it. If you look at the pages it is dead simple. I can't imagine what was using all the CPU. Would have been good to get a TOP or something to see what was going on. Since it is on Ruby, I recommend getting it on NewRelic and have it tell you where the bad parts are.

Hmmm, well, the one commodity that never seems to be in short supply is people who think it's their duty to tell other people how the fruits of their labors should be spent.

Incidentally, the author confuses tax rate with tax receipts. The rich in 1950 had a much higher rate, but they paid no more taxes than the rich of today. The whole point of the tax changes in 1996 was to eliminate all the loopholes and gamesmanship that was going on in the tax code and make rates more reflective of reality.

> "Every child in America has the opportunity to become, if not rich, comfortable"

I object vehemently to this statement. It simply isn't true beyond a small minority of the population.

Immigrants? Urban poor? Black communities? Other marginalized demographics?

The American dream is founded upon the basic assumption that the above statement is true. With this assumption, the American dream becomes a tale of industriousness and responsibility. Without it, the American dream is about being set up to fail while under a thin veneer of equality.

The disparity in the level of education amongst Americans is shocking. While a public school in a wealthy neighborhood may produce perfectly competent students, poor neighborhoods show a very different tale. The reasons are as numerous as they are controversial - but one thing is clear, if you wind up as a child in one of these schools, your odds sink through the floor, regardless of how hard you work (if you have indeed been taught that hard work is useful, or even how to work hard, or your community won't punish you for working hard in school, or your home life is stable enough to make academic achievement possible... etc etc).

I was incredibly lucky to have gone through a competent public school system in an area of relative wealth - but I won't let my experience cloud the knowledge that in an astonishingly large segment of the population things are not at all so rosy.

To be clear, this isn't to assign blame, but rather a statement that "every child has the chance to succeed" is not at all true.
There can be more than one barrier.

Sorry. It got banned from platform for a few reasons including tagging photos that didn't have people in them. (Similar to the cartoons that people upload and tag their friends as characters).

In general the biggest trait is that the app is built around sharing. Apps where sharing is a secondary feature generally do much worse in comparison to those where the whole point of the app is to share something. Even successful games on the Facebook platform universally require users to share content with friends to progress.

Many of the most basic viral apps are simply based around sending gifts to friends. If 10% of users that receive some sort of virtual gift then go on to send it to an average of 11 friends, your app will be highly viral in no time.

Now, go to pof.com and try to find yourself an AdSense ad today. They have their own ad network now: https://ads.pof.com

To quote:

"Startups may keep and continue to use, for development and testing purposes, all the software they received as part of their BizSpark MSDN Subscription. In other words, they have perpetual development and test rights to that software."

"The BizSpark Graduation Offer allows BizSpark startups to keep, at no charge, all the software they acquired through the BizSpark program"

"Under the graduation offer, the MSDN Ultimate licenses that came with BizSpark are perpetual, so startups keep all the tools and platform software they got from the program for development and testing purposes, including Visual Studio and Expression"

"Similarly, startups will also have perpetual rights to all of their Windows and SQL Server production licenses"

Now your claim may be that BizSpark doesn't supply enough licenses for you, but it is FREE. After BizSpark is done, you never have to pay MS a cent to keep and use the SW acquired in BizSpark.

In fact, I didn't realize they'd waived the $100 fee.

Like I said, if you want to upgrade or get additional licenses, you have to pay for those. You can build your $50B empire all on BizSpark, although you'll just have to write a very efficient backend to handle the transactions with only a couple of SQL instances, but there is nothing stopping you, but your ingenuity :-)
That would happen if your router is providing DHCP services (common) and returning itself as the DNS server. A good reason for that configuration is so that you can resolve the names of other computers on your local network.

If that's the case there's a good chance your router's admin interface will let you view and configure the DNS server its resolver is using.

Other than the ability to make video calls to a computer/laptop, I'm not sure how this is an improvement from Apple's "FaceTime".

I suppose that if you own an older iPhone/iPod or an iPad and want to receive video calls but not have the ability to broadcast your own video, then this is a much appreciated update.

6 Reasons why a Designer should not work alone
It is very useful and important article for those who are a Professional Graphic/Web Designer or who want to become Web/Graphic designer. Some points to keep in mind while coming into this field.
GeoDNS allows you to return different zone files depending on the location of the source query. If you are in New York, query for foo.cdnbar.com, and the nameserver serving that CDN is geo-aware, you might get a northeast-based IP. Google then caches that. 5 minutes later, I, in Arizona, come along and ask for foo.cdnbar.com, and it just gives me your northeast-based IP, meaning I have an extra four hops and 3000 miles for my packets to travel than if I'd pulled that IP off of my ISP's DNS.
$1,000 USD/day isn't even hard to attain if you have some coding/sysadmin skills and can grok basic marketing techniques. There's plenty of offers and affiliate programs that pay upwards of $20 per conversion and there's myriad white, grey and black hat ways to send traffic to them.

1,000 leads x 5% conversion rate x $20 per conversion = $1000/day. 1,000 leads a day can be obtained relatively easily. 5% conversion rate is extremely conservative (for the offers/programs I run, anyways).

I stopped working at venture-backed internet startups this year because I figured out how to make far more money on the internet (mostly) passively. Now I can work on my own "startup" projects and other endeavours (e.g., learning Haskell).
My though process often clashes with somebody who have a very different assumption about how political systems should be organized.

I sometime recognize that the discussion is going nowhere because the difference in ethical and principles are too great.

One example of this is the concept of democracy and the idea of popular consent. I am extremely distrustful of human beings, so my political ideology tend to have a strong anti-authoritarian bent.
