"deterministic [..] architecture"

Yes, important point and one of the fundamental design consideration.

Objective-Smalltalk uses the underlying ObjC runtime, so reference counting it is. No GC, unless you run it on Apple's deprecated GC or GNUStep with Boehm. Your choice.

The "<-" character pair is actually supported, Unicode left arrow would also be nice. As a matter of fact, assignment is not a built-in operator as with Smalltalk, but a family of dataflow connectors that includes constraints.

The right-arrow "->" is also supported for architectural connection, such as when connecting the IN and OUT ports of a flow-based system or up-/downstream composite scheme handlers:

(ref:file:{env:HOME}/Sites -> (MPWCopyOnWriteScheme memoryCache) -> (MPWSchemeHttpServer serverOnPort:8081)) start:nil.

This creates a web-server with the "Sites" directory of your home directory, via an in-memory cache.
Haha it was totally fine and funny, just a little surprising. Didn't expect to see something with so much attitude in a page like that.
But you repeat yourself? :-P
This is the most idiotic advice for hiring. I have seen many successful hires who were just out of school but were brilliant and went to become very successful later on in their careers.
Connexity - Ventura, CA

We have a small, nimble team building an online advertising platform. Always committed to picking the right tool for the job, we have Rails, Scala, Postgres, Hadoop, HBase and plenty of Redis. Lots of juicy challenges to work on. Wrangling tables with billions of rows. Serving hundreds of thousands of requests per second. Just a normal day at Connexity.

As far as I can tell, the objection to IAPs vs the old arcade model is the difference between "pay to win" and "pay to play".
Yes, it's really good. Don't worry. I can't write any erlang either. I'm still in the try-hard phase.

This may break scp when copying from a remote host which has this in the .bashrc.
I know this might be crazy, but what about Apple/Google setting a floor on app prices? What if no app could sell for less than $2.99 or even $4.99? Although, I'm sure that would probably result in less money overall for Google and Apple, so it would never happen, but if customer expectations were at a higher price point, maybe the developer options would increase.
I strongly prefer the Aaron Patzer/"Israeli Airport" technique; walk through someone's entire resume and ask detailed questions (like this one) for each job; and try to get education and non-work projects captured as well (which really should have been highlighted by the candidate, too, but aren't always). You could actually just go purely chronologically from "earliest memory", but obviously focus on the important areas, and be aware an older candidate might have changed substantially from college-age to present day.

Then, work-sample. Although in some cases (screening lots of people), a simple work-sample just as a pre-filter might make sense, particularly if you can administer it remotely/auto-grade/etc.

The hiring process has twin goals: not pissing off candidates (hired OR unhired), and hiring the best people you can. Being time-efficient for candidates as well as your own staff helps a lot. Painlessly getting people in or out of the pool before a 6h interview process = win.

Having a repeatable, quantitative process also seems very important, although the cases where I had to hire >3 people with a team of >10 all came with someone else's HR process so I couldn't implement too much of this.
Firefox already supports both HTML 5 Audio, Web Audio and WebRTC. This app is just crappy.
The real question is how they just went pouring cement there without regards for what was in there.

This "pattern" is wrong, it makes debugging much harder. In some cases less code means more pain and this is such case.
Actually I believe "blinding" is for "blimey", a (rather dated) contraction of "blind me." If that seems a little odd then you have to recall that blasphemy was once stronger than biological cussing. I'm told that the reason for some of the stranger grammatical usage of "fuck" in swearing is down to its substitution for religious words (e.g. "fuck you" for "damn you.")

The chapter on swearing in Bill Bryson's "The Mother Tongue" is interesting and very amusing.

Agreed. In GP's scenario, telling the story of how they were able to balance working a night job with going to the public library to do their homework, say, or how they dealt with a rough situation at home, or whatever else it was, could be quite impressive.

I don't look at academic success too hard when I hire, but if someone really worked their tail off to beat obstacles and get that 4.0, I'll find those stories to be a great indicator.
What up Jayflux, #web is good place full of helpful people regarding all around web development topics.
It started the day after Christmas, though I did travel on second Christmas day. Totally worth it in my opinion. This was my first year and I can say that an extra day of that experience is always worth it.

Also WiFi totally rocked on day -1, but if you want that I guess you could also go wired any other day (symmetric gigabit and the best abuse policy in the world yay!).

But of course you can also travel on the day it starts and miss a few talks, it's up to you and your family how much of an issue it is to miss 2nd Christmas day. I was home in plenty of time for new year though, you still have that ;)
I'm going to add a top-level reply, despite having replied to a few people's posts.

The first question is just a staging question. You are asking the candidate to think about a situation that you are proud of, one you will be happy talking about, and one that you hopefully remember in detail.

The real meat is in all of the follow-ups -- what's called "behavioral interviewing". You're asking people to tell you about how they behaved in a real situation. For example, when there was a huge disagreement on the project, how did you solve it? How did you motive the team through a low point? Tell me about big decisions that you made that worked out, and ones that didn't.

Research has shown time and time again that good behavioral interviewing is the best way to find successful employees. If it's a technical position, you clearly also need to discern their technical skills (code on the board, or submit a github resume, or the like), but these are the questions that will tell you if this is someone who will be an asset to the team in non-technical ways.
I think this an amazing question to ask in an interview and I have actually been asked this question in two interviews. I generally throw the interviewers off track though because I generally talk about my personal project that involves a virtual machine and a byte code compiler for the virtual machine. I actually really enjoy this part of the interview too because it gives me a chance to talk about something im passionate about while displaying my technical abilities.
The funny thing is, that these days the simple 3rd party "fake" and costly clients are often superior against the official apps. Less leaking location, address books, text messages and usage patterns, please.
Agree in principle: a great deal of bullying goes on in schools that is not pupil-on-pupil.

You are absolutely right. But I'm pretty sure (crystal ball time) the post-PC device looks a good deal closer to a Surface Pro than an iPad.

That concept of keyboard + mouse + touch screen is really good; you need a way to have custom line of business apps developed for it. Apps need to be easily installable on it. It needs to have integration capabilities with oddish hardware. App state needs to be 'sane' and persist extant data without wrecking it due to swapping out of memory.

IOW, the capability lineup looks a lot like a PC on someone's desk, even though the form factor might reflow to be a tablet placed in a dock with attached bluetooth keyboard/mouse.
