It is unsporting. The whole point of the exercise is for job seekers to show their chops and that, for some basic problems, that they can solve it without using Google. For fun, I posted my info using curl, vi and not one Google search. A

An excellent comment was posted on the article. Cloud, Agile, BI and so on. Businesses would be well served to realize that the efforts of those who came before my generation (34yo) are not so irrelevant. Shared a round of golf recently he

Also interesting is the fact that Hollywood was about an hour's travel from the Mexican border. This mattered in the early days of movies, when Edison's patent enforcers would show up to demand payment for people using cameras. The early fi

101 is pretty bad. When I worked on the peninsula I'd always take 280 and cut over on 92. It'd take a little bit longer, but it was way better in terms of my mental health.

He's a fantastic presenter. I've found every single one of his talks extremely thought-provoking.

I guess I'm a young person, but I agree with what you're saying here. Thoughts from the other side of the divide. I think it's universally true that young people don't have the benefit of experience (by definition) and so they regularly get

I agree with what both of you have said. It's possible that, in the not-too-distant future, "green programming" will become a new field. If you can design an architecture (both hardware and software) that demonstrably reduces power costs, t

What never seems to get mentioned is energy cost. Sure, you can keep throwing hardware at the problem, but eventually that will lead to a substantial power bill.

That is extremely useful. Do you know if any testing libraries or other useful functionality have been built around this? I suppose if you are a WebKit-only developer, this utility could have many useful applications.

I think it means Tim Cook is a smart executive who doesn't write off his competitors. Even if you look at Apple's history, way back when, IBM wrote off "all that software stuff" that Microsoft was doing. MSFT ended up having the last laugh

Only two minor quibbles: 1) did not mention Clojure. 2) broke the amusing narrative a bit in the middle by including a true story (Perl). Really funny otherwise.

That's a nice touch I hadn't thought of. Any ones you like in particular?

That's interesting. When I was in college I used to wake up at 5am every morning. I'd always start my day by taking the trash outside and looking at the sun come up over the ocean. (I went to school in Santa Cruz). Those short moments alway

I find it somewhat ironic that the only way I knew that "Creative America" even existed and that it was running TV and billboard ads was through the Web. Also, it's not just "foreign criminals" who are pirating content. People right here in
