I didn't say I disagree with his statement. I'm saying, maybe more implied, that I'm not going to hire someone who displays a lack of interest in finding a real solution to a real problem that has to do very much with what th

> Do you really think that when people say "I would never hire that person" that there is an implication of "everyone wants to be hired by me (and by extension my company)?" Nailed it. Just because someone, a team, or

Even as a non-manager I was employed in a position to make hiring decisions. Do you ever get brought into interview loops? You're part of hiring decisions. You may not have final say, but you are hopefully very much listened to.

No, if this way of thinking came out in an interview, where the candidate's first response to the hypothetical was basically "I don't really understand what the problem is but I'm sure 'they' can mostly fix it&

I do disagree slightly with the cajoling into playing instruments. Now, my experience is just that- mine, so I'm not saying you're even probably wrong or right. My brother, sister, and I were all cajoled into at least trying music

I was astonished at how selfish/myopic/whatever alloy's response was. To be blunt, you're abusing the shit out of SOMEONE ELSE'S product that you're not even paying for. Your first question shouldn't be to

I've read in multiple places about Amazon's main pricing strategy, which isn't all that different from what Walmart employs. They pick specific brands/models/categories of product at which they will absolutely be th

Living in the Pacific NW as an avid motorcyclist- it's been a semi bittersweet transition. It was 22.5mi from driveway to (free motorcycle) parking garage- which meant I was riding on average 425mi a week. I used to average MAYBE 2500m

It's likely and believable that the different flavors seem to run at different speeds with different architectures. I also wouldn't be surprised to find the Oracle implementation to always be faster. I have a real hard time believ

My commute used to be either an hour by by car (10min) and light rail or 20-40min by motorcycle (carpool lane + dodging through traffic as I feel). Sometimes the gloom and rain of Seattle just meant I couldn't bear to ride that day. So

Totally with you. I HATE dealing with Windows server for this very reason. Whereas, even before Puppet and Chef and the like you could mostly automate the deployment and configuration of a new *nix server with shell scripts and config file

It's funny because I generally regard Atlassian products as at the worst, not bad. That is to say, I don't feel like anything they do sucks, some things I really like, some things I'm meh about. Except SourceTree. Maybe becau

I'm curious and know nothing of the subject, but what's wrong with the chemical testing? I thought they had home lead paint test kits. Living in the Pacific NW, we don't really have a lot of lead paint issues like back east.

It's only much cheaper if you get it without any of the adapters. I Kickstarted it and paid $24 for one w/ an HDMI adapter and $19 for one w/ a VGA. That being said, now that I have both adapters, any proceeding purchases go

I can't speak to the Insteon but I have Z-Wave devices throughout the house. I chose Z-Wave for the same reason you're interested: in theory they have an attempt at security. I've read about some possible shortcomings, but it

SourceTree is a god awful nightmare of a UI and I have found myself having to triple check all the checkboxes present before I do anything lest I manage to hose it up. I would use absolutely no GUI if my option was that or SourceTree. I als

You would think that... But at $10k per room for video conferencing, it was a disaster half the time, phantom calls, all kind of problems. I can't tell you how many times we just put my laptop at the end of the table and fired up Skype

I don't think each needs to be networked, at least not via IP or directly to the Internet. In fact, I'm hoping the design goes towards local protocols and hubs that are directly connected. Your programmable thermostat very likely

In reply to a comment that was deleted (maybe it was getting downvoted?) I think (hope) the difference will be the utility to the the average user of these devices. We're basically in the infancy of IoT and are already seeing useful co

To me, it sounds like the author is advocating for what we did when we used Subversion and merging was painful for non-trivial differences. In my opinion, the reason for switching from SVN to Git isn't that it's so distributed (yo

I see these like frameworks- you don't want to write HTTP request routing code for every single application you build so you pick a framework. At some point in the past, there was no framework or library, then people distrusted them be

Slack is nice and very useful. As you mention there are a ton of integrations- there's cool new uses every day, but I don't see why it would need to be part of your audio/video/conference flow other than as links to join

I gave up on Skype screen sharing forever ago. Even with good connections it would pixelate and distort to being illegible too often. I, frankly haven't found Hangouts much better. We've all but given up on them and use a combo of

Yeah, it got bad shockingly fast. Question though: does anyone really use SourceTree? I've tried using it like 5 different times and it's just so convoluted. It's very ugly, non-intuitive, and doesn't have a lot of featu
