Using sarcasm is one thing, but why not follow it up with points to counter his/her argument? How about giving examples of where it can be useful in real life?

Loved Dune 2, loved Warcraft (1, 2 and 3), and was a little too addicted to Starcraft. On a semi-related note: Does anyone know of any other pure RTS game that rivals Starcraft 2? Nothing seems to compare ...

"... punished for leaving money on the table" Are there any alternative strategies to this? I find this concept insane whereby spending more and more is good but spending less is bad.

I was going to say the same thing. I would be infuriated, considering this to be another recruiter ploy to make commission. If they clearly can't afford your salary range then this should be made upfront.

My experience was the complete opposite. I interviewed for them when they came to Sydney. The recruiter on LinkedIn said that it was for a senior Java developer role. We even spoke over the phone to go through some of what the role involve

One issue is if you're using Angular. Your html document needs to be xhtml compatible, meaning that an expression like this: <div ng-if="this() && that()" ... Needs to become: <div ng-if="this()

Is this purely a lack of training, or is it idiocy? Why would you shoot someone lying down with his hands up?

What's so good about ivory? Why can't other non-animal-based materials be used? I don't see the appeal to go to such great lengths to kill an animal for its horn/tusks.

I believe it's called vertical packaging. Package "employee" contains: EmployeeDto, EmployeeService, EmployeeController Package "order" contains: OrderDto, OrderService, OrderController And so on. This way logic tha

I guess the alternative would be: if (isValidUser() && isValidData(data)) … Which would avoid the potentially expensive `validate()` without putting it all on the one line.

As an Australian who's recently moved to US I'm absolutely dumbfounded by this. I need a third-party app to transfer money to my friend (Venmo). Why don't the banks allow easy inter-bank transfer here? And with signing with m

One thing I like about taxis is the meter itself: If you're stuck in a traffic jam you can check the current price and decide if it's worth staying in the taxi or hopping out (after paying). Is there any technical reason why Uber

I came here to say this. Also, as an Australian who recently went to the US to do programmer job interviews, I was shocked at how widespread the idea of "whole-day interviews" were. I find it overly self-important and inappropriat

Thanks for the explanation, but how would the move keyword know that you're referring to the i variable? Ie - what is there were multiple variables (such as a for loop with j in there)? Wouldn't it have been a better approach to a

Wouldn't that just be grammatically incorrect? Unless you replace "child" with "children" of course ... (Australian English speaker here.)

Hardly surprising, given it's installed by default. And that clicking on an address (say, on a website or a text message) leads up Apple's Maps by default.

If you're the final user of an API, then yeah, go for gold and change whatever you want. But if you're working in a team (or contributing a patch to a Github project), and you override something crutial like String.subtring(), the

Not nervous at all. This takes me back ten years ago when "SOA" was the buzzword with companies like IBM selling complex GUIs that allowed you to drag and drop business nodes around on a page to generate a business workflow: FTP u

A friend of mine who recently went on a trip to Tokyo said that it looked like how people in the 80s/90s thought the future would look like. I guess he was spot-on.
