It does make you look like you wasted hundreds of dollars on one outfit.

Yes, it's a lighter (very minimalist) version of lisp, as opposed to common lisp. Scheme seemed like more of a fun academic exercise. If I wanted to actually do more complex work I'd probably look to common lisp instead of Scheme.

As someone who works under the title Software Engineer, I take it with a giant grain of salt until we're suddenly all taking the P.E. exam and getting our rings. Titles have the same problem all around the industry, people can call themselv

Man, contests like this seem like a bad idea for everyone involved. Solicit bids, take 2 million dollars and get a prototype/demonstration of capability from your top 4-8 options. Review the submitted work and communication each contractor

They have split ratings, schools that only provide an undergrad are in a separate category.

Thanks for a Joel article I hadn't read before. Two of my favorite class projects fell heavily into what he mentioned, implementing FAT12 in C for the OS course, and implementing a scheme interpreter in scheme for the programing language co

What do you define as an apprenticeship program? We bring in 3-6 development interns each summer, for a company size of about 80 developers.

I currently work for a polyglot shop so I guess I can chime in. We employ about ~90 engineers now and have been in business for around 25 years now, so I consider that successful. The discussion of focusing our scope and becoming more of a

How is the UI just calling to_lower on the password while passing it to your encryption difficult to understand? No case sensitivity has nothing to do with no hashes. Period. Also the value versus risk ratio for Diablo 3 accounts is probabl

Again I'm not seeing how a to_lower on a string in any way implies plain text storage. There's no indicator at all frankly. It was a 2 minute decision by whoever implemented the user input and has negligible impact on password entropy.

Honestly this is the same argument that has been swirling around Diablo 3 recently regarding their decision to use case insensitive passwords. The importance of case sensitivity is dramatically overblown. An appropriately long password is s

Assuming it's not ad supported and is just a one time purchase I don't see where your motivation would be in free updates unless it was bringing in enough money for you to be living off of. I'd keep track of user requests and things you've

Easier debugging, faster code navigation, better refactoring tools, auto complete, inline documentation, tighter integration of unit tests, and probably many other features I'm not thinking of. Sure I write one off python/ruby/ps scripts in

Is your employer covering part of the cost? My insurance for just myself is 70-80 a month, while my employer covers another 250 a month. If I had a full family plan it would be 250 a month for me and 750 for the company. This is for a relat

I'm sorry but it really seems like you are making a mountain out of a molehill here just to be argumentative. Do you think this accurately reflects the working conditions of a developer? Who said anything about trying to simulate a normal

I can't say I've ever looked at a job that didn't provide hardware and software, or reimburse travel. That's just standard business behaviors. I don't think my company is /that/ different from most, and I've never seen any of the follow up
