After we merge a pull request with rebase + fast forward merge, there is no merge commit created. This leads to a linear commit history. Does anyone know anyway to look at the linear commit history alone (not GitHub) and tell where a pull r

@jonandersense Honestly, I prefer doing a 1 day onsite interview. The equation is different here. Here, the company is investing as much time in interviewing me as I am putting in them. It sounds fair. But doing half a day coding exercise e

In that case, we agree. I too believe that a 1 hour coding interview is reasonable although I am not too sure if it is ethical to do so without paying. But if it is a 4 hour coding interview without pay, I am certain that it is unethical. S

A 4 hour coding assignment is half a day of work. I don't care if it is a toy project and if there is no business value in the work. But a 4 hour coding assignment is still half a day. I may have to take a leave from my current work, t

You're okay doing a coding project for a few hours? Good for you! I like to get paid by the hour.

I had a similar experience with a company in Bangalore.[1] I wish there were a law to prevent such exploitative hiring practices. [1]: https://github.com/surya-soft/Interview/issues/2

The number of commands you show may not be unreasonable. But after spending many years in the industry, I think it is far easier for me to learn C++ with all its different types of pointers than it is to learn what Git is trying to tell me

To be fair to the people whose merges failed, I believe this is a shortcoming of git (the tool) and not the people using it. It is fair to expect a developer to invest sometime in learning their tools well but git is a different beast. I kn

Saka Key seems to be using different keybindings than VimFx, Vimium, Vimperator, etc. For example, Saka Key uses `n` to open a new tab[1] whereas others use `t` to open a new tab. I am more used to the latter. So I decided to ignore this an

Is there a good alternative for VimFx?

No, you won't be as productive as me. The fact that you were not aware how Vim is different than other editor (editing language vs. keyboard shortcuts) shows that you use your current editor as a macro for keyboard shortcuts rather tha

Or imagine a surgeon being asked to perform a fake surgery before being offered a job. If my degree does not mean anything at all in the software field, I wonder why we spend so much money on getting a degree!

A toy problem to be solved in an hour is quite reasonable. Anything more than 2 hours and I would expect to be paid by the hour!

You cannot remap Caps Lock key with Microsoft Keyboard Layout Creator. If it were really that straightforward, then Vim users would not be forced to rely on registry hacks or tools like Uncap or AutoHotKey to map Caps Lock to Escape [0]. If

I expose struck definitions in header files too. What is a better or alternative way to do it?
