“meaning that I will have to do more work during the interview” Isn’t that your job as a hiring manager? Also how do you know that their github projects actually work in production? Do you do a through code analysis to evaluate performance

I’m interested to know what kind of software system you work on that you “need” github code to prove that a candidate is good. IMO your hiring practices need to include processes that can evaluate a candidate based on their talent and exper

You cannot unsee it lol But on a serious note the developers should indeed look into this. I recall this comment from HN [0] which highlights why neutral branding and naming are important. 0: https://news.ycombinator.com/ite

I don't think Erdogan gives a f * if US pressurizes him to follow democratic procedures, considering how he dealt with the Washington DC protests. Plus Turkey is a key NATO ally against Russia, and they know it. This lets them gain le

wow this is super toxic, not to mention probably illegal. I'm surprised nobody else spoke up before. Even as a male I'd find this disturbing and highly dysfunctional. I can't even fathom how the plaintiff might have felt. I h

Actually I really like my 2017 Macbook Air which I bought for $800. It may have old architecture but the system 'just works', mainly because of the OS (Windows 10 is far from being a decent dev platform). I primarily use it for co

I actually stopped using linux as my main OS in 2010 because of Gnome3 and Unity. The "Applications","Places","System" menu was clear, intuitive and desktop oriented. I never liked KDE, and MATE seemed like a r

The whole electron stack disgusts me. Mainly because of battery usage on my laptop and my phone! Its a clear example of "We can do it but should we do we?" The answer is NO!

For me Gtalk was the Yahoo Messenger of late 2000s. Me and my friends almost exclusively used Gtalk since it was very lightweight, it worked well, and you could use any of the large number of free clients with it.

Actually the looong cutscenes where you cannot do anything, is one of the reasons I think it’d be a good movie. If you think about it it’s a very interactive story. Yes, you have choices like most RPGs but they don’t really matter at the en

I think Mass Effect trilogy is fairly original and does away with a lot of the space sci-fi cliches like humans being the ruling class of the galaxy, or all species having a united voice, etc. I’d love to see it made into a movie.

Me too. One of my consulting gigs back in 2012 was based on MongoDB and the system is still working well in production afaik. The use case was to store complex documents but size wasn't an issue, nor was the global table lock (it was a

I've tried out many major versions which add new features (MVCC in 3.x was a game changer IMO). But it's just difficult to convince a lot of engineering teams these days to use MongoDB because of all the negative reviews floating

I think the interesting point here is that the company is private and doesn't have to maximize short term profits for shareholder gains. From my own experience I've seen that a private/bootstrapped company has much more flexi
