I work on geocoding, so I have a ridiculous stash of these saved up for a talk some day. Here's a couple: - Place names are listed smallest feature to largest feature (address, city, state, etc) - There is one name (per language) for e

I've used Greenhouse on the hiring end, and there's no 'extra' info about candidates. We only see what they submitted in their application.

The city of Santa Cruz, California has a similar program: http://cityofsantacruz.com/departments/economic-development/... The main downside is that the bathrooms are only open when the businesses are open. That me

How about... "Can you think of names for these tests that would be more helpful when we need to debug why they're failing?" "Check out the styleguide for indentation like this; consistent code is easier to maintain"

There's a difference between laughing at your own mistakes and laughing at someone else's. People who are ridiculed for making mistakes are incentivized to hide their mistakes rather than learning from them.

I worked on Free Skool Santa Cruz ( http://santacruz.freeskool.org/ ) but we stopped a few years back. It's entirely decentralized, and there's a bunch of projects around the world. Here's a wiki page that has

I worked on a project called Free Skool that's essentially the same thing. Even in wealthy, "free" countries, there are plenty of people that don't have access to educational resources, and can benefit from sharing knowl

That's why they said "mask off" instead of "file off". On some (many? all?) cars the VIN is stamped on a plate that's visible through the windshield.

Volume of job listings on one site over the last 30 months would be measuring far more than the trend in number of jobs. Did the job site add new features? Did they snag a big new customer who consistently posts their jobs there? Did they r

It's definitely a credibility hit, and those are the kinds of companies I associate with Capella, too. I believe Hackbright turned down an offer from Kaplan, which went on to buy DevBootcamp. Despite their predatory practices, however,

Probably! For many of us alumnae, it was giving back to something that had a direct impact on our lives. Many of us already work with other groups, and/or will shift our efforts to those groups now. I don't know of any non-profit

One positive about this: Capella is an accredited school, meaning that there may be a way to allow Hackbright students to take out government backed student loans for the program, or even get Pell grants. Many students currently rely on out

Hackbright doesn't promote an absolute gender binary. There's simply no way to argue that if you have any real world experience with them, or bothered to read the linked materials on their inclusion policy.

I can't speak for all the folks who volunteer, but I was willing to give my time because I saw the impact that Hackbright had on a lot of lives. It was something I was willing to put time into to support, even though I understand the r

I see more crap than just those two comments, and the ratio of comments actually related to the article is seriously low (I realize I'm not helping on that front). I do think this is a pretty good example because there's a mix of

"chances of graduates getting hired at entry level is higher for women" This is highly debatable. I hear a lot of men saying that, and I encourage you to read more about the very real challenges and biases that women face in the t

This is a huge discussion in the the alumnae community right now. While Hackbright has never been a non-profit, the equation for volunteering felt different when it was an independent startup with a strong mission. Alumnae volunteer hundred
