FWIW, the author joined the Marko core team at eBay a while back. But from what I hear, he's still pretty responsive on Github.

It's heart breaking to hear about people getting their lives turned upside down on both sides because a political elite on one side decided to forcefully take everyone on a horror-themed joy ride. I see many stories of people mobilizin

The more obvious motivation that the article doesn't touch on for some reason is that this change is a strategic move to reduce cancellations by drivers. Typically what would happen is a driver get a request, accept and then find out a

My understanding is that googlers typically don't know/care what role the candidate is applying for (outside of maybe the hiring manager round). There are arguments both for and against their methodology. Personally I think ther

Yeah, this is admittedly a problem. I don't have a great solution other than relentless education, which is... hard. Especially at scale. From a cultural side, some companies have a competency pillar that is supposed to embody the idea

Anecdotes are not data etc, but in my experience (hiring senior SWEs for a big tech co) less than 1 in 20 candidates have a link to github or side project listed in their resume. Distribution-wise, they seem to appear more frequently w&#x2F

I think the more important overarching point is that most candidates aren't prolific github people like you, and likewise most companies are not going to cater their interviewing practices to woo your preferred flavor of interview styl

Unfortunately, NO_COLOR is only the tip of the iceberg. Yes you can clean up ANSI escape codes upon human consumption in some cases, but not always. E.g. often these log files are meant to be displayed in web UIs (e.g. Jenkins). Things get

FWIW, the article said this is a question they use for a senior full stack role, not a frontend specialist role. With that in mind, the question does seem a bit badly formulated. For example, why would you ask about tags that you know throu

Native speakers are often very forgiving about rustiness (even enthusiastic that you've taken the time to learn the language at all). I tend to think of rustiness as a function of how actually invested I am in the culture. At this poin

It's not elitism, I'm being fairly realistic here. Hackers are curious self-driven people that go poke and find things for themselves, it's pretty much a hard requirement for the trade. Asking for things on a silver plate in

I'm going to be brutally blunt. If you have to ask in a forum, you're not hacker material. A better option for someone eager but skill-less would be to enlist in one of the branches of armed forces in your country.

Of course I did. You're the one going on about unstyled elements and whatnot? The article is about subtle behaviors that come built into standard UI elements. My point is you can get those behaviors from leveraging these elements inste

No offense, but this feels like trying too hard to make the argument that a perfectly normal pattern is somehow too obtuse to be considered. I'm guessing you're trying to argue that something like a pill autocompleter is more appr

I have (on more than a few occasions in fact). On one occasion I had noted the offender's car plate number and from that the police tracked the person down to their house (all of this within the span of just a couple of hours, mind you

But then the police somehow got said evidence after the person left, and they know the person's identity - but presumably not from the driver's licence (which would have included residential address) - and then they're hoping

But surely you must realize that there's more to money than just paying bills. Japan still has a strong cash culture, but even there people put their money in a bank. A cash society cannot be resilient to an evil government if you cons

Oh nice, there are API docs now. I had seen the language before but was put off by lack of stdlib docs at the time (a complaint I also brought up about zig some years ago) Definitely interested in taking it for a spin now.
