That was entirely uncalled for and not one bit in line with the general level of conversation here.

You can read a judgement in there if you want to, it is actually the opposite. I think having/not having pet projects or other life choices you make outside of your professional hours should not have such a direct impact on being hired or n

That would require a 'before' and 'after' with some numbers that prove that they've managed to decrease the wait time in a statistically significant manner.

These guys have looked very hard at the okcupid postings. Interesting stuff, but it doesn't really show how prostitution and alcohol ended up making uber better in some tangible way. Only that there were some interesting correlations.

Yes, I read the paper. Try coming up with a 'consistent mental model' that works with random execution sequences. Then try again for one that works backwards. And so on. At best this test determines which people are going to be 'easy' to te

If you have a life, I don't want you. If you have a family, I don't want you. If you have enough energy to do your work but not enough energy that after work you can work some more, I don't want you. What is it that makes employers so enamo

It's only a problem for hipmunk as long as google doesn't 'retire' the project. Give it 6 months or so.

To me the big difference they bring to the table is that it is web based, instead of downloadable software. There is a lot more to your average EE CAD package than just wiring up some parts. That's the easy bit. Rules checks, physics, place

I think you're on the right path and I think that the fact that you are consciously involved with this means that at some point you will find that understanding. If you have a good working relationship with the journeyman person why not dis

That paper has done a lot of damage. I also think that if you write a paper like that, that it should include a lot of qualifiers as to what you think you've discovered and what research might be done in order to validate/disprove your find

If an aircraft carrier is overpriced then there is a market for cheaper ones and you can make a bundle by putting your money where your mouth is (assuming you are right, of course). If making aircraft carriers is not your thing then you sho

That's why you should not be using averages for comparisons like this. The low end in Sweden is based on the local minimum wage and the vacation days are mandated by law. In the US IKEA uses the room afforded by the law there to pay their w

That makes a lot more sense than what you wrote above :) Thanks for the clarification, it seemed a bit strange to see you 'commoditize' (sp?) another person like that. Of course it is common practice elsewhere, the whole body-shop scene rev

Not being able to run certain apps is not the same as your mobile phone manufacturer no longer supporting the hardware you bought with updates.

Not to be a jerk, but you don't have to go anywhere. That said it makes me sad that open source authors should be relegated to begging for handouts like this. Those who wrote 'closed, commercial programs' for a living probably won't shed

It's pretty sad if 3 years is the longest stretch that apple is willing to support their hardware with updates. Of course the turnover in the mobile phone world is a lot higher than with 'general purpose computers' but imagine if the whole
