If LLVM is so bad why are the people who make it so much easier to work with? You shall know a tree by it's fruits. It wouldn't bother me one way or another whether LLVM was copyleft or not, the people who run it are more pleasant

Rename your post, it's going to distract attention from whatever it is you are trying to communicate. I'd just as soon not read it until you call it "telephone" or something more PC. edit Also, you'll get flame de

I agree, but I'm also not surprised to see INTJ as the most up-voted type.

That sounds more like a great interview question than a good FizzBuzz question though. FizzBuzz questions are all about assessing, in less than 30 seconds, if you should even be giving the person on the phone the time of day.

In this case the assumption is that we're talking about ancient languages. Edit You're right that it would be (somewhat) impressive if they knew there was a transition.

Here's a couple: Grep a current running process. Grep x file and copy it. You'd be surprised how many "Sys Admins" I've interviewed who can't do basic things.

This is a bad FizzBuzz question, in my opinion.

I'm an SE now, but I got my degree in Northwest Semitic Literature and Linguistics: Here's a couple: Are Semitic languages VSO or SVO? What does it mean that Semitic words are triliteral?

I joined a mid-size company while they were still calling themselves a "start-up". There was a little bit of risk in joining, but not much. We are definitely not a start-up now. The funding question is good, but, fortunately, they

I like this a lot. Thanks.

People can and do make a lot of money in this world, long before their reputation gets destroyed, making really shitty stuff.

I accept your beef about zoning codes, but the government should have some say on safety standards, don't you think?

Some laws might be unjust, but the vast majority are just. It doesn't really seem like you're examining this assumption too closely. The vast majority are just? Really, the vast majority or laws are immaterial to criminal behavi

Time dilation is about one frame reference, let's call it "a" being simultaneous with another frame reference, "b", yet "a" experiences slower time from the perspective of "b". The classic and dr

Yes, and 300 years ago there was no Universal speed limit. Hawking has stated that he has no theoretical objections to time travel, but thinks that there is probably a theoretical reason for why it isn't, he just doesn't know what

Time dilation and time travel are two very different things.

I think the reality is that more and more bright people avoid the Academy these days. I'm not saying I'm particularly bright, but I started out thinking I was going to be an Academic, but when I saw that I would have to deal with

No Edit The theory on time travel is incomplete. We need the unifying theory first if we are to make any assessment about General Relativity's and Special Relativity's projections about inertial frames. Special Relativity says t

I have not quit my job...yet. I have been tasked with creating an android app for our latest product line up. I asked to not do it, and it's not like I was hired to do mobile (having never developed for mobile before). I was asked to d

I work with the node source and I have made C/C++ based node modules. Threading at the JS level in node is really ineffective. V8 has a global lock on all JS objects that prevent them from being passed between threads. The only way to

The KJV is wrong in its translation (why did you even reach for it?). My degree was in Ancient Semitic Literature. A better translation is the NRSV which is as follows: Do not say, “Why were the former days better than these?” For it is no
