There's a comment there where someone says you go to school to learn how to learn. Clearly self-taught programmers already have this part mastered. It leads me to wonder why we aren't asking, "What skills do school-taught programmers common

Just to state the obvious, "us, our partners and the open source community" excludes rivals and suggests something a little stronger than a defensive portfolio.

Microsoft doesn't have unpaid internships, nor do they have internships you have to pay for. Nor does Google. Do you have any examples of technology companies with great reputations that charge students for internships?

Ah, I wondered why The Atlantic had taken a bit of a hit the last few years, they are still pretty great but back then they were amazing.

Don't agree with you there. Rolling Stone seems to be the only credible news agency left that does actual in depth investigative journalism.

True, but with open source at the end of it you have the right to continue using what you created. In this other case, you are gifting the value of your work to the corporation irrevocably and retain no rights.

The waiter situation is not very comparable because the payoff is instant. You collect enough each night to pay the fees. Thus the situation is more akin to renting a booth to sell your wares. You pay rental for access to a crowd that is bu

Could you expand on that a bit? How is it not a solution? If party A will not pay for your labor but party B will, you would choose to work for part B of course and party A would be rightfully deprived of skilled labor because they are not

I love it when people dig through old unrelated comments to try and drag out things in a reputation attack. Gosh the next stage is surely the criminal background check so one can triumphantly proclaim: "Bugsy was cited for drug paraphenalia

Regarding applying, I run my own business and I am sure I make more than all you guys combined. My comments are because this is posted on HN not on your web site and I have a right to comment. Maybe some kids will read my comments and reali

I agree completely that most web sites are poorly formatted with columns that are too wide to scan, the site cluttered with animated ads, and/or improper guttering that allows text to collide with the actual window frame. It is a known prob

This will be a good thing to set up anyway since the government has needed for some time an efficient way to eliminate web sites from the internet that have any forbidden, threatening, inappropriate or questionable material, without having

First point. $6000 in funding that comes with all these restrictions and gives away 9% of ownership is a terrible deal. It values your company at only $67,000. If your company is only going to be worth $67,000 or less you should stop what y

With this response, it sounds like both sides are now in complete agreement and there is no remaining dispute.

I don't know what your stance is and I don't know the book's stance is. All I know is what the synopsis and the comments state its primary arguments are - that religion is the cause of trouble with scientific literacy of the US public. Beyo

"Where I got the idea" is the synopses and comments of the two books as I said. Your comment seems to confirm that you agree that religion is to blame for science illiteracy. Perhaps some people will be interested in a study with empirical

From the synopses and the comments of those two books, here is a summary: "It is all the dumb people that won't accept the One Truth of atheism that are to blame!"

Interesting. Seems there are multiple views on this. According to this article Dr Mitchell Taylor, a leading expert on polar bears, is persona non grata at climate change conferences where there are no other polar bear experts because he re

GE is incorporated in New York not Delaware. GE pays NY state franchise taxes not Delaware. Overall, GE paid $2.7 billion in income tax in 2010 and over $1 billion in payroll, state and local sales and property taxes.

Worst mistake I ever made was consulting with a lawyer in setting up a business. Nearly everything he said and advised was completely wrong, and he came highly recommended. Never accept the word of a lawyer on anything.

I don't know. The author states that CL is a bad site as if it is an accepted fact. He doesn't make a case for it he just starts with it as an axiom. Why does he assume this? Maybe it doesn't have enough flash, or css shadows or what? CL is

Do you have a source that it is a comedy show? Their web site seems to be rather misleading regarding this as it appears to be a car review show not a comedy show - http://www.topgear.com/uk/ Perhaps you are thinking of some other top gea

In the show, after making the 55 mile range claim and pushing the car into the garage, he plugs it in for a recharge and says that recharges take 16 hours. He then says because of this it would take "more than three days" to get from where

by bugsy 16y ago
The show definitely gives a reasonable normal viewer the impression that the car is a dud with a range far less than what is claimed and prone to numerous and frequent breakdowns, and that the failures were so catastrophic they car had to b

Yeah doing a binary search in an array is pretty standard. What I was asking though is quicksort since that was mentioned. It's not obvious by any means how it works and I recall that early reference implementations had bugs that were unkno

I hope they made sure to get you to sign a copyright transfer for the work.

by bugsy 16y ago
Do you actually find people that expect candidates to implement quicksort? I've certainly implemented it, but there's no way I have it memorized, it's not an obvious algorithm at all. I'd be flabbergasted to be asked to implement it from me

My answer to that one would be "I've found it's more efficient to not keep up with the latest fads."

I agree with you, and want to add some more about this. Usually the 90 day things are from companies that also want you to sell your house and relocate to where they are. Often you do a fantastic job and are let go at the end of the 90 days

Agreed. It's an excellent way to make sure the only people you hire are desperate for any work.
