nice one! i've seen the same problem but didn't know why (always reluctant to eliminate myself as the root cause). Agreed that re-wiring 20+ year old print-to-digital-symbol conversions on one side then doing it again on the other

thanks for the correction--and looking at the Post again, nowhere does it say or suggest she's the CEO nor anything else about her job title. It was just my incorrect assumption based on the content of the memo

""Still, I appreciate this time to reflect when our confidence is shaken a bit. To be honest, we were probably overdue for it." probably the best thing from a CEO i have ever read. That said, the bar's not terribly high-

maybe the most insightful recommendation w/r/t the developer interview process i've read (approx. 3/4 through the post): "A technical discussion makes a much better place to start an interview. One isn’t under press

really nice work. for a while i have though how odd is it that no job search engine has implemented something like this--ie the selling point "use our personal, private cms to help you manage your job search" is a great way to ke

is sbt an early prototype of what the OP has in mind? I like sbt because it seems to me that by combining (at least parts) of each of compiling, building, and packaging, the entire workflow is streamlined. So for instance, sbt has an increm

good point--a Constitutional violation no less. I wonder if t's more than a violation of the 4th Amendment, perhaps 6th as well ("effective assistance of counsel" or something like that) In any event, an ACLU directory quoted

that does indeed seem like the broadest CYA clause their lawyers could come up with, but perhaps it's not broad enough, because consider how the The Intercept was able to determine which of the calls were between prisoner and attorney:

we use it, but (after reading the homepage linked to at the bottom) pretty clearly outside the core use case. In particular, we use it for off-heap caching, which we configure through org.apache.spark.StorageLevel. We monitor via tachyoneFo
