That's usually not how it works though. You're more likely to be laughed out of the room for asking such a silly question, despite the fact the (presumably technical) interviewer could do no better without the teacher's copy

It looks like App Academy is still claiming no upfront cost. I successfully applied a few years ago; despite hearing the "X% of your first year's salary" speech over and over, I was told I would not only need to pay a heavy d

FWIW, there is a "secure" version of the fake name generator, but you have to pay $1.99/year and sign in with Google, which is hilarious.[1] Also, as explained by the creator[2], the SSN registry site is worthless and apparen

Almost, I failed to mention the reply should contribute something and not just be words for the sake of words though. Purely my personal opinion. Basic example of a borderline canned reply while I think: Q: "Where should we host our se

Forgive the expression, but I usually take a multithreaded approach in those situations. For example, you could (probably) easily rattle off a meaningful but neutral initial response and, while you're doing so, run whatever filters yo

IIRC, you have to auth to Tinder with a FB account. Not saying that nothing shady is happening, because I believe it is, but note that there are hundreds of ways for a company like FB to connect the dots. Post locations, event invitations,

That's curious. It might depend on the recruiter/role, but I had a recruiter reach out and then ghost me after the whole "When do you graduate?" -- "Oh, I withdrew a couple of years ago" bit.

I'd love to say "don't worry, you'll get a chance to prove yourself", but I can verify the instant rejection. Sample size of one, but I dropped out of a top public school, immediately started working full-time x 1.5

This seems like a great example of a technically/algorithmically challenging problem that the layman would not appreciate, more so if this could be refined and applied to a wider set of images. An elevator pitch for this, if you will,

Most of this discussion is beyond me, so I won't speculate on his intent, but occultation is a real thing too. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Occultation

There have been more than a few companies with similar ideas, and most have since shut down. You might want to look at those companies - what were their features, how much capital did they have, what was their timeline, why did they fail, e

Surpised at how unusable the site is. The background video, parallax/scrolljacking, and dancing iPhones are really making my laptop choke. It also seems like they're relying on the fact that people already know what the service do

That would certainly work, with the added benefit of value changes by page; however, I imagine it would require more work to display on every page. There are too many ways to serve web pages, and having to change your site like that seems l

Re the service: a while back I had the idea that people could add a TXT record containing their BTC/PayPal/etc address and, as long as there existed a loose formatting standard, users could install an extension that activated when

I'm not sure that the point is to consume them all . I find a larger list helpful here because, if there were 10 options and I only found 30% worth reading, I'm down to 3 books. Here, I get to pick and choose books with more rele

Similar story: I worked at one of their flagship stores in college and our systems were down for about an hour. We made due with writing everything down on receipt paper and logging it later, and had surprisingly few complaints/comps.

That seems like it would turn off some potential users due to the hassle of switching apps. I'm ignorant of the process, but is there no way to check that the user has installed SMSSecure first and, if not, fall back to sending unencry

So would you say there's now a greater efficiency to your social interactions knowing that they are, for the most part, more uncommon? There could be something to be gained by learning not to take personal transactions for granted, but
