Take homes are probably the best way to test actual coding abilities. I had a pretty good online coding test done by Microsoft actually, it was 2 hours of building an API; no trick questions, no big-o, just write a bunch of code. It wasn&#x

Are you anxious in general? Or do you have some issue with tests? I hate algorithm interviews like the next guy but it sounds like you have it worse than most.

In real life you'll ask them why there's a bug on production - and he'll tell you wait 5 minutes I'm checking/reproducing the issue. It's very rare that you'll have to get an answer immediately - this isn&

Wait seriously - you've been diagnosed with trauma from interviews? Jeez what the hell happened in there - if it's alright I'm asking?

by joelbluminator 5y ago
I can empathize. The only interviews where I think "huh, this went reasonably well" are basically online tests. Almost never when I interview in front of a person / live screen and do white boarding. The bad news is my chance

> I'm Jewish. I'm not a Zionist. It's way easier to be anti Zionist from the comfy U.S right? You get all the benefits of appearing super moral and progressive and none of the risks. What's it to you if Israelis are (

Do u guys expect it to be on by default eventually, at least for Rails apps?

Im out of my depth here but why can't they share the JITed code?

Is it 256 mb for the entire app server or is it multiplied by each Unicorn/Puma process?

Yeah ok man ...was nice talking to you.

It's at 28.4% so let's make it barely managed ~30% :) https://speed.yjit.org/ I'd give these guys some more time, it's a long project. They're working hard.

It's yet another tool in the "destroy Israel" toolbox; prevent Zionists from speaking up or defending themselves. If someone says anything remotely positive about Israel (even if it's real) it's "Hasbara",

Public relations? Diplomacy? Even propaganda if you want to be negative towards Israel? Why would you use the Hebrew word for it, do you use the Hebrew word for other things as well? It's not a unique thing to Israel that's exactl

by joelbluminator 5y ago
Every country in the world uses diplomacy and public relations to create a better strategic reality for itself, especially in times of conflict. Israel is no different than the U.S or Australia or the Palestinian Authority for that matter.

by joelbluminator 5y ago
Well Israel ended up killing Sheikh Yassin so I don't know about that theory - maybe we can agree Israel did conflicting things? Also - are you saying the Palestinians have zero responsibility for Hamas?

by joelbluminator 5y ago
Hasbara Hasbara. When you're pushing Palestinian narrative you're progressive. When you're pushing zionist narrative you're an evil Jew Hasbara troll.

Was the violence always against the state or was it also against innocent civilians? Not really the same thing.

Don't matter to you maybe ... to many people finding reason is important.

Israel would have had zero issues with Iran if Iran wasn't on a quest to destroy Israel. In fact the two had normal relations until the Iranian Islamic revolution.

That's not always true. In a job board try playing with keyword combinations like Python + Financial Analyst/investment/trader etc etc. You'll see them. I was once thinking of doing the transition the other way around (

If I were you I'd try to combine programming with what you're already doing (finance/business). Like learn Python and how to extract data or something, thats easily added to your current knowledge. Then later you can learn so

Maybe not lied just exaggerated to impress you. There may be hidden bias but no army service is not mandatory in 50% of the economy. In fact 50% of Israelis dont finish the whole military service or even begin it.

It used to be Lebanon in the 70s. But yeah thats long over. I think Baharain is the closest to being a democracy in the ME after Israel

Iran circled Israel with around 100K + missiles and rockets, some are precision guided. They are in Lebanon (Hezbollah) and Shiite armies in Syria, Yemen, Iraq etc and Gaza. It's true that things are good with Egypt and Jordan, it does
