Last time I made interview rounds, about 50% of places gave whiteboard questions, 25% gave essentially the same questions but had me do them on a computer or screenshare rather than a whiteboard, and the rest had some kind of take home comp

When we were refugees in Germany, my parents felt stuck in a tiny town with few jobs because the job center made mobility out of the place you "landed in" extremely difficult. Being able to travel and move about the country freely

Hmm... Rust might be in that ballpark. Certainly more "batteries included" than c and at about the same level of abstraction overall. It depends of course on how cumbersome you consider the ownership system

I felt like I spent roughly the same amount of time working around Java's type system with copious amounts of boilerplate as I did fixing wrapping my head around type-related bugs in ruby, especially at scale because of how inflexible

Spotify is great for many more foreign and obscure genres and artists. It's nowhere near complete, but it gets closest to having everything I look for.

You are correct. I doubted JIT was the right word at the time but couldn't think of the right term. Incremental support is what I mean.

A big pain is still JIT compilation. Last time I used rust, even small changes to code required a full re-compilation.

With a name like that, you should pivot to thongs. Clearer message.

It's the workers who have been shafted by declining standards of living, stagnant wages, rising prices, false promises about the benefits of free trade agreements, and increased immigrant labor -- coupled with an increasingly bureaucra

for loops will yield better performance and the result you want to get. If you're trying to log 5 times you shouldn't be wasting memory with allocating an array or needlessly calling the forEach function or needlessly creating a c

I had this with the ternjs plugin. Out of the box atom is pretty snappy on OS X. I haven't used Windows in a decade but I often see comparisons to Visual Studio accompanying complaints about Atom so my best guess is that it's eith

by krisdol 10y ago
Atom hovers at less than 5% usage between at least 5 separate workers for me. It's no 'ed' in terms of RAM but if it's under a gig it's fine by me. Certainly better than IntelliJ was in that respect. Works pretty pe

No upsides compared to what? Faster development time compared to Java, C-family languages is an upside. Faster VM (V8) than Ruby MRI, and just about every other dynamic scripting language, is also an upside. It's also an incredibly eas

Spotify and atom and slack feel like native apps to me.

Sure, but the point is there are many off chart artists and tracks that I'm aware of, or own, that Spotify provides no access to. I've also found great underground albums by artists that one day went dark on Spotify. That happens

Not 100% how it works in canada, but in Germany, you start off on the employer's program, then a combination of state and employer programs, then after some point (I think 18 months of non-work?) you get switched off the employer'

Apple has yet to provide me with food stamps or public housing, both of which saved me when I was a refugee. I can check with my spouse but I'm pretty sure the public hospital she works at was not an apple product. The rest is just rid
