The main thing holding me back is the supported languages. I don't use Clojure and I'm not a big enough Javascript fan. Suggestion: Add more languages if you reach enough backing $200k: JS and Clojure $250k: JS, Clojure and C $300k: JS, Clo

I know companies that throw everyone out of the office at 6pm sharp. No working from home allowed either. They seem to be doing just fine. Sometimes you have to force people to work reasonable hours or they'll just burn themselves out in a

> ...why can't I work 20 hours as a programmer, and 20 hours as a tree-planter... Here's one reason: you'll accumulate experience at half the pace of those programming 40 hours a week, which means you'll probably lag behind others in te

You don't need to specify DPI when you're talking about pixels already, that pic will be 512x512 pixels at any DPI.

That guy is just buying bitcoins, he's not interested in writing put options.

I've looked and I could not find anyone like that.

Could you name one? I've never heard of anyone selling a put option on BTC.

Useless as software engineers. We've had 'programmers' that could not FizzBuzz, ones that didn't know the difference between 0 and NULL, ones that could not read an E-R diagram, and so on. So these days when we hire a software engineer you

For what it's worth we don't consider candidates without a degree when we hire. It doesn't HAVE to be a CS degree - math or electrical engineering is close enough most of the time. But there's just so many job seekers without a degree and m

Still, someone like Knuth will argue that correctness should not be sacrificed for elegance.

I'm just saying, those books are impossible to read cover to cover.

Have the DENIED any requests from law enforcement? No. Perfectly happy.

Probably easier to allow small robots on the roads or sidewalks, running around delivering pizza or whatever.

They're perfectly happy for the police to use these drones so that's not the problem here.
