I also just noticed that they score capitalized and uncapitalized versions of their words differently. For example, "scala" is 67.03/100, while "Scala" is 90.92/100.

It all depends on your familiarity. I recently started a job working with a Java + JBoss + Struts application, having written about 1000 lines of Java total in my life. I can easily waste an hours figuring out how to get a local applicatio

I've never felt like I've had a "bad luck" day. Part of that might be not believing in luck or making my own. For me, bad days generally occur when my schedule is too tight and I have a cascading failure. For example, I have a trouble sle

I know that I should find a financial advisor to help my wife and I plan what to do with our growing incomes. However, I have no idea how to pick a good financial advisor and keep hearing how bad many of them are. Any advice on this subje

Whenever the list of systems gets too large I find I need to come up with a very boring scheme like that. At the university where I worked I set them up as: - 6-letter department abbreviation - 3-letter group abbreviation - 1-letter role/t

I agree. I had a similar problem with CouchDB a while ago when I tried to write the application in CouchDB. The interface was there, but it was obvious that some of the key features hadn't been implemented yet, requiring painful and compl

I initially had Javascript off, so I figured it was part of the joke when the space for the shortest Node.js web server was empty. When the shortest Clojure web server was also zero characters, I got suspicious. Don't forget to add a non-J

He does mention that things that make you more productive in the long run really should be exempt. I think the moral is that your quirks may not be welcome for other people, even if you think they are the best way to do things. Unless they

Now to start asking myself, "why am I wasting all my time?" We all have the same 24 hours in a day.

I think the most important advice they could get at this stage is to take control of their environment, and if something isn't the way they like it they should fight until it is. It's easy to think that school is like a railroad, that the c

In terms of pure code, the view returns data, which the controller then can route to the appropriate place to show. In this case the view generates an HTML response, but it could also generate an audio response or a video response. I under

I think both are good to have. The challenge will get you the applicants whose resume and CV might not reveal how talented they are. The traditional route is great for people who are already well established who want to drop off a resume

This is a web framework in the style of web.py or Sinatra. I was wondering if anyone had much experience building a significant web application with one of these frameworks? Are they sufficiently powerful to enable fast development? I wor

I like to steer it to something I'm passionate about. I think (hope) it helps me come off as intelligent and passionate about the work. When I'm talking about something I really care about I forget to be nervous and after the fact I somet

Would you care to elaborate? I'm about to move to a Java shop and for a long time I've just been taking the criticism of Java at face value. Now that I will have a stake in it I am really interested in what people who have been with Java a

I'm often annoyed that between language theory and language implementation there is the trouble of lexing and parsing. Both are complex and take a lot of time and know-how (at least for me as they never work right the first time), and it's

Expanding this a bit, the State of California is another "company" that misses payroll. If they don't have a budget passed by their June deadline, State workers may get paid in IOUs or simply get paid minimum wage until a budget is passed.

Thank you. That sums it up pretty concisely, though not very precisely. I wonder if Goodhart's law is more apt. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goodharts_law

It's a case of misplaced metrics. I can't find the name of the paper or the researcher, but I believe it's been shown that when you try to reward/punish some metric of productivity, invariably the employees will begin to maximize that metr

So, I bike to work, and then when I get there, I take my bike up the stairs, usually two steps at a time. Someone asked me once whether it was hard to run up the stairs with a bike. I responded that if it was, I would keep doing it until

It seems like this is a course more of the pre-obligated entrepreneurs are taking. With a stable income it is possible to start a company on the side, and hopefully it will become a sole source of income, but you will likely never see anywh

This bothered me as well, I was expecting him to say that iterators were a great mechanism, but not one you should see unless you really know you need to interface with them directly. But then, he didn't.

Hasn't Apache proved itself to be able to scale to large workloads when configured well? Doesn't it have modules to support many different languages? It's it nice and fast and written in C or C++? I guess the problem is that Apache does e

If I were to follow this philosophy more often I'd try to be damn sure I knew exactly what I was doing before I did. Going off on your own to do something because you know others would not agree is a bit arrogant. It has to come from a be

I prefer wide over tall, assuming the same area. I like to view two documents side by side, and it's nice to have two 80-column terminals open on the screen without overlap or tiny fonts. I'll also always pick two monitors over one large m

Which is why we need to work on dispelling the myth that static typing requires explicit typing. Type inference gives you many of the advantages of type checking without having to explicitly type every variable. http://en.wikipedia.org/wi

It needs to be fixed up a bit. You can somewhat resolve this issue by compiling with -Wall, at which point it will warn you that your pattern matching is non-exhaustive. import System.IO divide :: Int -> Int -> Maybe Int
