I have about 6-7 repos in GitHub...all private. I will never give that out in a link. I don't mind you looking at it in front of me, but I'm not giving anyone access to it. And since all that code is sitting on my laptop, it&#x

Monopolistic competition? More whining. Fact is, the restaurants exist and provide jobs at a certain level of pay. Job applicants are free to apply or not apply. There is no monopoly. There are thousands upon thousands of restaurants in

Working, no matter how many hours, does not dictate what you get paid. Your value in the marketplace does. Fact is, fast food workers aren't very valuable and are easily replaced. Hence, they get paid very little. If you can throw to

Going out on a limb here, but I'll assume this is for Ruby only? Nothing in the landing page suggests this works for other languages. I like the implementation, but if folks didn't like the NSA spying on them, they might not like

2nd or 3rd employee? I'd expect it of all candidates where it is relevant (i.e. not the cleaning crew). And I'd expect it before the phone interview. How can they hold a meaningful conversation with you if they don't know wh

The best part of your reply is in showing how he failed his own interview, figuratively speaking of course. In real life, the candidate doesn't get to explain things the day after they were turned down because of bad answers. I truly

Dave nailed it. It's why I rarely comment and never post. HN is one of the most unfriendly spots on the net. It's downright hostile. I love the curated links, but that's about it. Trying to engage in conversation is a crap shoot. You mig

"You think if people really want to share your product they're going to develop a sudden writing difficulty?" Checkmate. She can't worm her way out of that.

The button should say "Agreed. And send the message to my Contacts." No one would press that. Hence the fraud.

It's YOUR responsibility to make sure the user is well aware of the ramifications of what's about to happen. Not reading the terms and conditions of Reddit when all you do is browse and read and never even log in: not too important. Not FU

Those ManagingDirectors [sic] are not employees. I'm familiar with two of them. They are folks in the startup space, likely operating in an advisory role, probably brought on to lend credibility to the company. Or maybe they were brought o

That's kinda looks like what I have to type in to go to the end of a single line in Vim. ;-)

http://delvarworld.github.io/blog/2013/03/16/just-use-sublim... I would love to take credit for having read that prior to using the word archaic. I didn't. I formed my own opinion. I just happened to find that blog post a few minutes ag

With facts in hand, no, vim is not a text manipulation language. vim script is: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vim_script I never referred to vim script. I referred to vim. To quote you, "you obviously have no clue" that vim is an edito

Please. vim is an editor. Whether vim is a language, which has an implementation known as vim which is an editor, is irrelevant. I referred to the implementation. And it was clear I was referring to the editor. You might wanna correct Wik

In the absence of another more advance means of communicating with a computer, keyboards are all we have. Mice help, new touch screens help, but the big one (I think) could be voice. And I have no idea what Google Glass uses, but that's an

Bait taken. Side bet won. Point proven. Thou shalt not criticize VI/VIM/Emacs or anything remotely Linux related on HN. Now let's see if we can get enough downvotes to put me in negative territory.

Arrays. (Uhhg...I said it but I feel dirty.) ;-~ I've never liked arrays due to the brackets. But in a twist of irony, I now spend all day in Groovy and I use maps, thus brackets all the time. Yet I don't even notice. So after carefully thi

Dood....I checked your HN profile which led me to your blog. You're talking about decompiling Java code and bytecode diffing. That's hot. See, now that is dev stuff. That's hardcore. Love it.

Fair enough. Here's my solution: def reverse() { def a = "Can a fella get a job?" StringBuilder b = new StringBuilder() for (int i = a.length(); i > 0; i--) { b.append(a.charAt(i-1)) } print b.toString()

A. Friggin. Men. I just wish they'd make it easier for us to weed ourselves out. Just come straight out and ask for CS grads only. None of that "or equivalent experience" nonsense. I also don't have a CS degree. I have the bastard

I never heard of codility so I went to take the demo test. I couldn't pass that in English , much less Java. Lol. That's not a programming test. That's a math test. That is the perfect example of what not to do.

It might be an incredibly common interview question, but it's not an incredibly common day-to-day task, particularly when there are methods built in to classes that perform this function. An interesting task? Perhaps. But not reflection

Yes. Or the FA could have handled it with a bit more tact. Like this United agent, for example: http://asiangotswog.tumblr.com/post/43637405031/lolsofunny-a...
