After three tries with this process, I've decided that "never" is too soon: 1x Take-home test didn't even get read (this was the nail in the coffin) 1x The interview failed because the salary wasn't competitive (sho

No, in the worst case, you submit it and the company doesn't even take a look at it. That's not only the worst case, it seems to be the most common as well.

So you do the test, but you're not guaranteed a position even if your code is amazing. Hell, in my experience you're not even guaranteed anyone will read it. This is just a bad idea in an industry full of irresponsible employers.

Private information will get leaked one way or another. It's incredibly easy to get someone's address, SS, phone number, etc. The major problem is not with these sites' security but with the credit system's security. The

"Hide the needle (and then obscure it too) in a big stack and dump it at the last possible moment. Can the judge hold them in contempt for this sort of thing? OTOH, I'm amazed they handed it over at all." Sounds like business

It's about time, though mostly for Google's sake. I personally don't care if I can't review apps or create YouTube channels or do anything that requires Google+ as the features that have required it are mostly useless or

Maybe given a few more hours I'd have gotten it to work correctly, but who wants to spend hours fighting bad tools, especially when just trying to evaluate them?

I don't see how this reduces dependencies on any specific framework or in any way affects that at all. I'm the one who chooses what dependencies and frameworks I work with. The only way these tools affect which dependencies I choo

"The biggest weakness of such small tools approach is that it is hard to learn what to use and how to configure it." No. By far the biggest weakness of such a small tools approach is a Balkanization of development tools that gener

"I understood the risks of war when I enlisted as an infantryman. Police officers should understand the risks in their jobs when they enroll in the academy, as well. That means knowing that personal safety can’t always come first. That

I don't think people will accept this. For people with other means of payment, the main function of cash is anonymous transactions. There is no other way to anonymously transfer money. The article incorrectly lists bitcoin as being ano

I don't think any new additions to Java will threaten Clojure. Worst comes to worst, I see Clojure moving off the JVM if the platform becomes untenable in the future, though there's nothing to indicate that it would.

I find that people always want to know why you're a vegetarian. Honestly, for me, there are a ton of reasons and many of them are not quite dinner table conversations, especially when meat-eaters are involved as it grosses them out.

And even with this exemption, researchers have to tread very lightly to avoid prosecution.

These prices are ridiculous for something you still have to cook. In many parts of the country they are easily as much if not more than an equivalent meal at a diner or similar establishment, even including tip, and of course much more than

True. I just think there's more we can do here on Earth for this purpose. Yes, some problems are inevitable, but as a whole species we haven't yet done anything to destroy all life.

I don't think so, simply because of the way he phrases it and the timeline. There's no way Hawking would predict such a huge natural disaster in the next 1000 years, let alone in the next 100 years with such certainty. I think it&

Honestly, I'm not sure our species deserves a future if we lay waste to an entire planet and make it uninhabitable for ourselves (something which we seem to have already set in motion). What's to stop us from doing so to any other

Some people can't drink because of health reasons. By your logic, they should "suffer less social success and poorer network" and are probably "being intentionally lazy." That's not only illogical, it's do

Last job interview I went to in SF, I was offered whiskey and felt extremely pressured to drink it, mostly because I wanted the job. I've only worked at one place (out of over a dozen or more) in SV/SF that didn't have alcoho

I assume there was security, no matter how weak, that was bypassed. That's criminal in the US under the DMCA. Hell, even bypassing ROT13 "encryption" is criminal under the DMCA. Furthermore, even if the system was wide open,

For me, there's only one question: will it make me motion sick? Only if they can fix that issue will it become something even worth thinking about for those of us who suffer from motion sickness. I hope it can be addressed.

Yup. The iTunes ecosystem is a nightmare. The app is incredibly slow, crashes, and refuses to do basic things like find a file constantly. I have to copy files from NAS locally to transfer them to an iPod yet I can play them directly off th

There might already exist laws against this in at least one country he's traversing, but I'm sure that's just part of the risk for him and doesn't affect anything else unless he's caught which is unlikely.

Yeah, Romanians do all kinds of stuff like everyone else, but none of that changes the fact that you're lucky if you're making 200-300 euros a month in Romania and that's simply not enough to live off of.
