Not disagreeing with you, but just saying there can be legitimate reasons why they don't have deep knowledge on past projects besides "they're a total charlatan, a liar!" It's probably cost me jobs before, and I try

Y Combinator had funded a previous version of this concept, called DailyBooth, but it eventually shut down. You have a slightly different take on it though, making it a 365 project (and allowing people to sell photos). I thought it was a fu

You've got to be a little careful picking out items from their CV, though, especially if you go back far enough. I barely remember anything I did six months ago, and anything one or two years ago I couldn't explain to you in anyth

Or option three: Given the choice between open plan in San Francisco and open plan in Chattanooga, Tennessee, they choose the job in SF. There's just as many open plan offices outside of SF. I'm in the Chicago area, and I've

Amazon hasn't made a profit only because they've chosen to re-invest every penny of profit they would make back into the company. If they were forced to show a profit next year, they could pretty easily make a few cuts here and th

Devarist looks pretty cool. I signed up for the free account and if it works well I'll probably upgrade. I've been keeping track of this stuff on a paper notebook but I think this will be more useful. I'm a little worried tha

I agree. When I am creating raw data to be consumed later (like for a personal project or something), I often find myself typing it up in XML and then using an XML -> JSON converter to change it to JSON for my actual code. I can just thi

I couldn't get into the Brentford Triangle personally, but I really enjoyed Armageddon the Musical.

I took a 3d graphics programming course where we built our own raytracer for our final project. We learned the math for a few different intersections in order to make the raytracer. So if they offered it, that would have been the course to

Personally, I skipped taking Linear Algebra in college, because I assumed it was basically 'Algebra II' and intended for people who weren't taking math-intensive tracks, like liberal arts majors. Although thankfully in my 3D

Yeah, not journalism. But I'd call it "data-driven media".

Yes, he was harassed and blacklisted by the insiders, the mainstream. Not by the hacker culture, which didn't really exist back then anyway.

It does show resolutions, but it's terribly inconsistent. A little more than half the time it didn't show the resolutions for me, for files that definitely would have resolutions shown in Windows Explorer.

No, they passed, but invited me to apply again in a year and a half. That was a couple years ago, and their recruiters have started emailing again, so I guess I didn't do too terrible. When they told me they passed they also told me th

Can confirm. They used Google Docs with me as well. I didn't find it to be all that bad, actually. Their back-to-back whiteboard interviews later on were much more nerve-wracking.

Will the Apple Watch have enough precision in its location to be able to determine when you approach someone (suggestion #5 in the list)? GPS isn't nearly that precise, especially indoors or around tall buildings, which is why most peo

You can integrate Unity with Perforce just fine. We started with the Asset Server, and then migrated over to Perforce at the last place I worked for. It did take a little extra effort to get it set up, but once it was, it worked great.

Illuminatus! Trilogy by Robert Anton Wilson. I've reread it at least five times now, and it's so dense with historical and literary references and parodies interweaved into its plot that I notice new things every time I reread it

It's not quite a social network, but Skype got quite a bit of use at my previous company. If there was a topic that people wanted to share links or ideas or discuss things about, we created a new Skype group with everyone pertinent in

Going off of what another poster said: I'd agree to that $125k salary if I could work remotely. I'm in the Chicago area, and it's significantly more difficult to find jobs that are willing to pay that much out here (most jobs

Well there is, and that's called 'They won't let you onto the App store if you link data between apps directly on the device'. Plus there's legitimate concerns about malicious behavior if you don't stay confine

I can't speak for all of them but I use Xamarin at work, and it absolutely does translate to native look and feel for the app. Although once you get to the GUI layer, it's not much more than a thin C# wrapper for the native OS fr

The big thing I want to be able to do is be able to pay my bills in Bitcoin (rent, credit cards, student and car loans). If I can do that without (personally) having to convert to fiat and pay them in fiat, I'll be quite happy, and wou
