But, if you're using a modern IDE, removing impl or going from "collections" to "collect" isn't saving anyone any time. Or, at least, it shouldn't be.

It's pretty easy to tell when a candidate has the answer memorized, and it is pretty easy to push them to explain their answer beyond what sites like this give. If they can't tell you things about how their answer would scale, what the tra

I stumbled upon this technique when doing P90X, I would tell myself I would just do the warmup. By the time the warmup was done, was ready to continue the exercise. Worked wonders!

I have definitely had similar experiences and can remember fiction and non-fiction I read from when I was in jr high school like I'd just read it yesterday (24 now). I can recall the plots and what I took away from each. This article and mo

Whether or not they give updates is completely irrelevant to when they ship. Many customers asked for more regular updates, they are responding. Chill out.

I'm with you. In college - being in Seattle - it would frequently pour down rain while I was walking between classes. At first, I would run and find cover like everyone else, but after awhile I gave up and started walking, head uncovered,

At least now they are giving us concrete details about the state of the different moving pieces. This much transparency would have been awesome back in november 09.

It is large, but it really doesn't feel like it. I still have to pat my pocket to make sure it is in there, probably because it is so thin. The only time I think of how big it is, is when I am pleasantly surprised at how much fits on the

I am very, very curious about this as well. It is something I hadn't thought about until you mentioned this, so I wouldn't be terribly surprised if they haven't though of it either. At the very least, giving early adopters a free upgrade

I completely fail to see how this is any kind of demonstration that it is an intuitive interface. The cat is pawing at something that is moving and changing, the pawing also happens to generate actions through touch sensors. You could hav

I don't know firsthand, but I can imagine that the gunner seat in a chopper like this is pretty high anxiety. Your life could depend on shooting the right people at the right time. Not only your life, but the lives of all your buddies flyin

How does this sound to you as a former marine? http://www.reddit.com/r/WTF/comments/bmooi/wikileaks_video_j... It seems plausible to me that these guys are seeing this situation all the time: they fire on a group of people, some are left

I see genetic programming as an interesting solution to lots of different problems, but I don't think debugging is one of them. Bugs in my code usually reflect errors in my thinking (or typos). The genetic program would likely come up with
