Oh, I forgot c), which is usually just a raw, unadorned "I'd like to add you to my professional network." from random recruiter scum. Kinda of a b) really, but without the work of having to have a position available...

Essentially every recruiter message that I've received on LinkedIn follows one of two patterns: a) Hello, you do Python, do you want a job? (with no position details, salary, reason to join, etc.) b) a) followed by a clumsy attempt to fish

Well, you are assuming that the candidates have eggs to start with. How would you describe emailing a hiring manager/developer with something like "lol, give job pls?" Not very egg-like at all...

by anthonyb 14y ago
I think if you have "brass eggs" you go start a start up.

"Don't put all your eggs in one basket" seems appropriate. Of course, the counter to that is that taking a dump in a thousand baskets also leads to no eggs.

Also, instead of fixing the stand up, his solution is to generate a whole bunch of crappy paperwork for the team lead (email, pdf stored somewhere, blah blah).

There are all sorts of anti-troll, anti-spam and anti-voting ring measures in HN. Two that I know of, having run into them: If you get too many friends/new accounts to upvote a story that you've submitted, it'll assume that there's collusio

There's nothing wrong with filtering. Go have a look in your spam folder - there'll be thousands of emails in there, but nobody's saying that email's jumped the shark.

Because it's designed for the living room? A generic ARM box won't look as good, have their branding or be as appealing to their target market. Also, who's to say that they're building it? This is a relatively easy thing to contract out, an

In the short term, perhaps. Long term, why would they burn their business down like that? All it takes is a few high profile failures...

The title of the kickstarter is: MiiPC - Power to the Parents! and then the whole blurb is about how it lets you keep an eye on your kids online. Does that give you a clue that it's not about the hardware?

Not just phytic acid, but lectins and all sorts of nasties. Red kidney beans are poisonous unless you soak them properly before cooking.

Good luck doing TDD with behavioral tests. Running (eg.) Selenium tests repeatedly is only going to slow you down.

Well, if the incrementing is part of a method somewhere, it probably should be tested, but as part of testing the method, not the ++ itself. Usually it's more like people testing the basic mechanisms of frameworks or libraries. In some case

That's an overly cynical take - I've seen both TDD, Agile and Scrum work really well. In any case, refactoring is part of the religion too, so it shouldn't be too hard a sell for you. And it'll fix build times and broken tests! :)

by anthonyb 14y ago
You're supposed to refactor your code. Layering tests on top of tests means that you end up spending more time maintaining tests than writing code. Also, don't test stuff that isn't going to break, and avoid writing system and UI tests unle

He also completely overlooked the refactoring part of the equation, too: write test(s), write code that passes all the tests, then refactor the code until it's shiny enough and still passes the tests.

Interesting that that's from 2011, whereas this post is 2013. A rehash/rebooted blog, perhaps?

If you're looking for a good programmer, it often pays to be looking for one in a niche language. Paul Graham referred to this as the Python paradox: http://www.paulgraham.com/pypar.html (The inverse of this is if you're looking for a PHP

Yes it does work that way. Steady levels of insulin make it much easier to maintain a caloric deficit. If your blood sugar is yo-yoing all over the place, you're going to get cravings, increase your risk of bingeing, etc. While it's easy to

Insulin spikes are completely relevant, since insulin signals your fat cells to take up energy from your blood stream. Now you have no energy and feel hungry again.

Yes we do. There was an article last week about how ingesting sugar has been categorically linked to diabetes - in the same way that smoking is linked to lung cancer.

Where is the parent saying anything about meal timing? It's about the effect on your body of a particular meal. Carbs and sugars spike insulin much more than fats or protein.

Right, so all of the conventional wisdom that you're putting out (portion control, willpower, "fucking lardass", etc.) has essentially been shown to be wrong. Homeostasis is a bitch. Weight control is far more about maintaining healthy insu
