Am I a loser because I didn't feel like downloading a Scala compiler or translating this to a language I do have an interpreter for, so I just got the table from man ascii, counted the characters in the string, and then did the transformation by hand?
- lanna 15y agoIf you don't feel like even downloading the Scala compiler, you definitively should not apply for a Scala developer position.

- stanmancan 15y agoIn his defence he never asked if he should still apply, he simply asked if he was a loser for using an ascii table to figure it out instead of compiling :P Which no, that doesn't make you a loser. I think if anything it makes you part of the average HN population, hackers. You were curious, you thought of a solution to the problem presented, and you went ahead and figured it out.
