Saying you haven't looked at algorithms for 30 years is an excuse. Like it or not interviewers will down time on the classic CS algorithms and data structures. The things they ask have not changed that much since the 70s. For anyone in

You can do so with org capture if you're not familiar with it.

I don't think one should be surprised when they focus on the things you claim to be good at. They probably have a large pool of interviewers, so they can choose one with a deep knowledge in your specialist areas to chat with you.

I'd expect Take Two are looking for something that generates a billion in revenue from 10+ million sales, like their flagship title GTA or Activision's Call of Duty. Bioshock Infinite was a disappointment to most players despite g

The difference between Ruby and Smalltalk is clear, but your analogy is lost on me. I consider Clojure a lisp by any common definition. Why do you not?

I'm over 40 and quite like Facebook. Everyone I know is on there from my boss to my grandmother, and I hear that in mind when I post. It's the main channel with which I discover what my family are up to, since I have emigrated. Th

A cost effective alternative to this (I'm open to being corrected) is to use a cheap server (say a $5 monthly box from Digital Ocean) and Cloudflare (which is free).

By this logic why would anyone contribute to the OSS of large corporations like Oracle or Facebook? I'm also a game developer and was able to open source a chunk of AI software to the development community which has been used in commer

Stackoverflow is a good place to get fast answers to emacs questions. By the way I use IDE's like PHP Storm, Intelli-J and Eclipse in conjunction with emacs. Switching between the two depending on the task. Sorry you decided emacs wasn

I adopted this in my C days. Sure some compilers catch accidental assignment but not all and it could be disabled. As a defensive programming style I personally think the readability concerns were outweighed by the safety benefits. Not ever

Well firstly the gotchas very rarely get me. I found the same with Javascript. The inconsistent and odd data conversions make fun slides to denigrate the language, but in practise they seem to be easily avoided. I realize posting a 40 minut

Define 'better'. Personally I think Clojure has a lot going for it, and it's better than a lot of languages in a many ways. However, for the kind of application I work on PHP is significantly better fit than Clojure. Most of

I wonder how feasible it is to represent yourself in this kind of case where you could walk into court with self gathered prior art. Is it only lawyer fees that you're paying or are their costs paid directly to the court also?

The scenario is something I try very hard to avoid via workflow, but sometimes it still happens. Somebody merges something and pushes it to the master branch of the repo before it's ready. Now you want to pretend that never happened. Y

I'd say I'm quite proficient with git but undoing merges is something I dread having to do because the documentation for it is so complicated.
