It's not that the style was "wrong", it's that anyone who writes java and doesn't know something as basic about the language as the style conventions. I would also reject a candidate that didn't know the rudime

PHP is just a language that so many of the so called programmers here like to bash. I doubt many have even used it, they take a quick look at the hello world and just write it off. But in reality, the language makes so little difference to

please, this is getting old. Haskell is one of those languages for people who want to show off how clever they are instead of just getting on with developing applications that actually do useful things efficiently.

I think you're totally wrong about the interpretation, but who knows what Struth meant if anything by these. Unlike maybe Stephen Shore or even Alec Soth, Struth's photographs seem to me to be much more just about the equipment. H

it can also be a big red flag, people who can't stick to something for any length of time are either consistently bad at picking companies to work for, or the companies they pick find they aren't what they had hoped. Either way, i

but statistics shows that this person will likely leave anyway, the 15% provides only very short term relief from the real reasons why someone wanted to leave in the first place. if I see someone in this position who works for me, I immedia

you work only 8-9 hours a day and have just a 45 minute commute and you're whining about it? For someone in their twenties that makes no sense to me. I'm twice as old as you, work longer hours than you, have a longer commute and m

comparing this to IPython Notebook is a big stretch and an insult to MATLAB and IPython notebook. There's no way this would have ever come out of PARC, you're exaggerating Davis's work. Also, it's impossible to "loo

Fair enough, we don't agree but this is a free country after all. And besides, who cares what either of us think about this point, history will decide. Photography is definitely morphing into something new with technology playing a lar

You're going there, you're criticizing my punctuation and capitalization skills??? As for your point, it makes no sense. I mean, it sounds fine, and it reads just perfectly, the capitalization and punctuation is almost spot on, bu

@dang, what are you suggesting I didn't follow? I don't see your point. Just because I think these me-to apps are a stupid waste of time is just my opinion, some people will share it and some won't, but why does having that o

Please! Seriously. what you're describing isn't photography, but graphic design. That's fine, and of course people are free to corrupt their images as much as they want, but we really don't need another app for this, the

I know it's a trend, but that doesn't mean we need more stupid filter apps.

by hnriot 12y ago
Does the world really need more photo filter apps? In nearly every case, and in all of the examples, these filters have degraded the images substantially. I guess some people might find these fun, but don't we already have enough photo

this is cool, but you can do the same with beautifulsoup and textblob in far fewer lines of code and you wouldn't need any web services. if textblob isn't your thing there's plenty of svm implementations out there. for more i

I do need JQuery because I want to focus on the application and not nuances of different js implementations. And I want to use the simple selector mechanisms. Then there's plugins, I use those too and many assume/require JQuery. S

Over the years I've enjoyed Dr Dobbs, but like most magazines they have become less and less relevant with google+stackoverflow+wikipedia. Over the years Dr Dobbs has added things to my repertoire of software knowledge, but I have to s

this is a very old page, it uses a very basic approach, it's highly computationally expensive to support edit distances beyond 2 (exponentially expensive) so the word length has to be kept small. This makes phraseslikethishardtobreakup

did you apply for a position that asked for a CS degree? It was remiss of the company not to spot that earlier and save wasting theirs and your time. I would never consider a candidate for a software engineering role that didn't have a

my takeaway was amazed that something posted in "the kitchen" is even read by anybody. For a technology company that's a pretty low tech multicast. as for the actual point of the article, it seems highly inefficient to post p

Almost everything you say is blatantly incorrect with the possible exception nothing.

Boston's losing tech startups to SF because the weather here is drastically better (well, not today...) All other things being equal, we have better beer, more sunshine, a bay that doesn't turn to ice in winter, an airport you can

you have to remember that the only microphones people have any exposure to in regular life is their phone. So it makes sense that any technology that uses a microphone be found in that device.

I agree totally, I switched to FF to see if that would help but sadly it doesn't. The data is awesome, but presentation really makes it impossible to see. I wish the data were near real time, I knew this was a bad drought, but what I w

because Silicon Valley is in California, it's supposed to be the world's hub of tech leaders. If we have a candidate pool that is so poorly educated it doesn't bode well for sustaining that technology lead.
