He convinced developers to create more apps for Windows 8 and Windows Phone by offering them what is known as the "Holy Grail" in app development, tools that let an app developer write the app once and easily convert it to all Wi

YYMV but I've been using Macports for 3 years and never had the impression it was finicky or hacky or had any problems with it really.

Typically this would be answered in a unit test like this: This would be a really bad way to test all of "create a user, assign the user as an administrator, log off of the root admin, log in as the new user, create a product, delete

1. Isn't it likely that any streaming rights are cancelled in case of acquisition? That seems like a no-brainer for the music execs to put in a contract. 2. And aren't streaming rights only good for a few years anyway?

I don't think it really matters to the recruiter if you are qualified, or if they are judged on how many people they source end up getting offers. They are just there to get you in the door.

A class with mutable fields that a caller can mutate is not immutable.

The other half of this is that the skills required to get past the interview bar are not quite the same skills that would make you a great developer. There is some overlap, but the interview process at Google is a game in itself.

It's an easy mistake to make when you aren't very familiar with the modern recruiting process. It is literally the job of the recruiters to keep the pipeline as full as possible.

That seems like a not-very-useful metric.

runs in 4 minutes and 30 seconds. That's for a 1:1 test:code ratio. is this claiming 100% test coverage?

The article does indeed seem to use "project managers" and "managers of engineers" as if the terms mean the same thing.

In order to do this, Google would need access to the plaintext of the email message, which defeats half of the purpose of the supposed encryption initiative.

Here is a fuller quote, from http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2014/04/20/snowden-s-c... Putin’s answer was predictable. “Of course, we know that criminals and terrorists use technology for their cr

Thanks for mentioning this, I was confused about statements like "death from heart disease has become less prevalent" while the chart showed a horizontal line.

I'm not sure that "size matters" here means "small is better than large". But with a modular design where you can swap parts in and out, how could you ever change the size of your screen if you want a larger phone?

That seems like a Facebook internal issue. No reason why they can't be expected to share info with entities that they own.

Sure, but didn't YAML in Rails do mostly the same type of thing? It's not just XML that is dumb like this.

it would be better if they had these things linked somewhere customers can find them when new ones are posted That's a great point. I found it by googling "AWS post mortem", but I only knew it existed because I had been lin

I think the parent poster meant "At-will" rather than right-to-work.

Typically AWS is great at communicating with post-mortems, for example: http://aws.amazon.com/message/2329B7/ In this case, they probably didn't want to be too explicit about the details of patching tens of t

It's not meant to show a decline in HFT. It is meant to show a decline in overall trade volume: Lewis takes pains to tell us what happened to the number of trades per day between 2006 and 2009, for instance, but doesn’t feel the need

I think the misguiding part (or at least, what the tone suggests) is that the order of events is 1) Amazon downloading and scanning all apps and then 2) looking for AWS credentials in the code.

It wouldn't even need to be a "large amount of traffic", just traffic using the AWS secret key from more than a handful of IP addresses in the same time window would be suspicious.

Of course a developer could change this, but yes the default user-agent string for an Android app using HttpURLConnection identifies it clearly as Android: http://www.gtrifonov.com/2011/04/15/google-android-us
