And I just noted the wording made me look like an asshole, sorry.

Or do it as everyone else and actually use ints instead of floating points? I thought this was common knowledge by now...

Since Apple advises not to use the error variable for checking for an error, but the return value, I think the decision to have both blocks suits the Obj-C patterns a bit more: https://developer.apple.com/library/mac&#x

What is so 'cool' about those companies though? Not trolling. Google -> Adsense are their main profit and from where the real top dogs go, the rest work in projects that most of the time go to the crapper. A lot of their big na

I shouldn't feed a troll but, look at job descriptions from banks/insurance companies/science/education/betting/automative/health based companies. Do you see a simple word being related to rails? ps: I kno

Not sure if you are just making a joke or not, but please, if you started to drink more due to a boring job (including drinking before/while on the job) either talk to someone for help (a sibling/wife/friend if you don't

You can use the JetBrains tools which have a plugin for HTTP/Rest api testing. Should work with their free java edition. http://www.jetbrains.com/idea/webhelp/rest-client-tool-windo...

The user experience problem is a real one. But it doesn't mean it makes business sense for a small company to hire 2 iOS developers and 2 Android developers for native apps when the user base doesn't make heavy use of their mobile

I come from a family of table tennis players (mother was national champ, cousin national champ, I only got to be regional champ). I can honestly say, table tennis is a sport where almost everyone overestimates their experience. A profession

<quote> The managers role is not to make technical decisions, his job is to ensure that other team members will help that "excusing" engineer to find solution. Managers role is to detect engineers seem to need help too often

But that is exactly the point I'm trying to make. A coach won't be able to do a dribble (soccer) or sprint for the header goal, the same way a manager shouldn't be writing the unit tests or OAuth login, but both are involved

A musician will have his skill decline, but his appreciation and understanding of music probably wont. I think this is the key point. Yes, after 10 years, the manager won't be as able to code something in the project (nor should he) bu

by BSousa 12y ago
I'm borderline if managers should code or not, but as soon as you get to manage a team, and the job doesn't require it, do stop coding! It is not your job anymore, and if over the next 5-10 years you start having a hard time talki

I don't think they are that good as well, but as I mentioned, if the whole point was just to get an entry level dev job for the money, it maybe a good option.

If he is serious of continuing developing software for many years and not just jump ship because the pay is good now, learning the basics of CS is my recommendation. There are a few coursera courses on intro to CS (I think using Python) tha

Because it is cool to take the piss at .net developers around here! Most coming from young folks that have only been working on the 'next facebook' with go/node.js/rails to understand there is a big and very profitable w

I know enough about Haskell to be excited, but recently, I implemented a few systems with F# and am really happy with the language. If we forget about the .net/MS thing (and all the hatred that comes from that), are there real true adv

Try another European university? Or maybe doing a year or two of Erasmus could help.

Well, think of it this way: 90% chance if they like your inflated resume, they will ask you for a technical interview. If you don't pass that, ok, no harm done, if you do, you might get a job, and they think you will be able to do the

Architecture wise, an in-house engine we built for the PS2/Xbox (this was over 10 years ago). But as an overall package (editor, visuals, code, etc) I do think Unreal is one of the best out there. It isn't as simple to start worki

I'll say it, THANK YOU! I've used UE at previous jobs, and while I'm not gonna say it is the best ever engine, allowing this piece of software in the hands of indies for 19 bucks a month is a bargain. I will probably not use

Having seen this happen recently, usually the bad manager always has a good excuse to give your employees are leaving (from there was no bonus to people don't like the color of the office), which masks the problem for a while.

I can't speak for all companies, but some companies I worked with with honour those bets (places just a second before the goal). They try to find a pattern and ban the users after they find them doing this (and it is getting harder sin

I did this recently and I went with a company name for two reasons. One, not having a native English meant that it wouldn't sound normal for them to spell/write my name, and second, I don't really like my name :P Now if you s

I Love Haskell but I think sometimes people give it more credit than deserved. So you say > int foo(int, int); Doesn't tell you anything. Ok, you are right! But that code translated to Haskell would be: > foo :: Int -> Int -&g
