The criteria "Do new candidates write code during their interview?" is something I consider pretty important. I would say it makes more sense if rephrased in a less polite way: will all my peers be able to write a working line of

2nding this, I've been given IV narcotics a couple times in-hospital and it created a noticeable feeling within ten seconds or so. I would say the closet analog I can think of would be slipping into a warm bath, if slipping into a warm

Another thing, if you believe you can get paid for high performance, then money is the effect and not the cause. Work that doesn't allow you to maintain your skill level will cut off your future earnings, regardless of whether it is hi

So if I'm understanding correctly, this is evidence that about 300 years after the death of Pythagoras, his proof "travelled" over the silk road to China?

The only codebase I've checked personally can't handle Y10K, so there should be plenty of business: https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/6f0eb93183519024cb360...

Both those apps have some tools in their camera that make it easy to do text/scribbles/filters on photos and video. Some stuff like timestamps and speed are even proof-like because "everyone" knows how the app works so i

Rehabilitation and sequestration are ways to protect and help people after a crime has been committed and presumably after the victim has suffered. Punishment for deterrence--if it actually deters--can do something else entirely, it can

Its true that you can be ordered by the court to decrypt drives. Then there is a documented point-in-time when the state received read/write access to your drives, and also, presumably the drives are already in custody etc. I think the

This has been my experience too on the limited number of embedded projects I've done. I once had an intermittent issue with the device locking up when going into sleep mode that took me 60 hours to get to the exact cause, which was in

This reminds me of Steve Yegge's google plaforms rant, which I'm sure I've posted and reposted before: monitoring and QA are the same thing. You'd never think so until you try doing a big SOA. But when your service says

Given the levels of unemployment in the EU over the last 10 years, and the current million+ a year immigration rate, this is going to get worse before it gets better. A lot worse.

Looking at your criteria, I think the most interesting features of a desktop are: - easy & cheap RAM upgrades - ability to swap & add/remove harddrives. Running multiple OSes, you can more easily share common data, and you can

Thanks for posting, it is very interesting to see the data from a real pricing experiment. I'm not sure what you're using for transaction processing, but I think that could affect the rankings due to larger percentage transaction

My best guess is some kind of highly automated backups but it doesn't quite fit IMO and I'm also very curious.

The SAR feature is more than just positioning, I believe it involves the beacon transmitting to the satellite and the satellite relaying to a ground station. So it is another feature of the constellation. A bit more here: http://
