It's so that drivers would see the cyclists in junctions. If the bike path is separated until the junction, it's common that drivers don't pay attention at all to what happens on bike paths and turn right into crossing bike t

I also studied this at university. It turned out I graduated ten years too early, nobody had data or willingness to use it, and now that things have changed my resume is full of Java crap.

Care to explain which part it was that you were right with?

No. Source: I have worked for a financially successful company whose database was designed without any notion of foreign keys or surrogate keys. They also had serialized Java objects in database blobs by accident.

True. But I was young, stupid and had just completed a course on assembler on that processor. Money well spent.

I've also been working with DSP processors in audio processing. The only time I've used actual inline assembly was storing stack pointer to measure stack usage. For saturating arithmetic and other stuff we used compiler intrinsics

These are completely credible class names, just ask any Enterprise Java developer. I particularly enjoy FactoryProtocol-Protocol. Who would be satisfied with just a FactoryProtocol?

From the many interviews I have been to, Google was one of the three where I had the feeling that the interviewers had any idea what they were doing.

Finland has the same system. A nice side effect is that since the bottles are supposed to be reusable, they are thick and sturdy plastic instead of the paper thin disposable ones.

I thought exactly that. Then I got to systems programming (embedded, soft real time, consumer brand that used to be known for quality etc) and found out everything is equally crap out here, too.

Can you back your doubts with numbers from a credible source?

I've used Tesseract for a production OCR project some years ago, and can confirm too that it just doesn't work at screen resolution. On the other hand, performance on high DPI photos was quite OK. Google Vision API wasn't aro

I could, but these projects go to people who haven't numbed their minds on ten years of enterprise bullshit.

They are the stuff you should understand anyway if you build software and are easy enough to figure out in an interview session if you have any analytical skill. On the other hand, many so-called real world questions measure only how well y

Just out of curiosity, can you give examples of people who have done so-called deep software engineering but stumble at the basic CS concepts?
531.
by oriolid 11y ago
It is widely believed that if you are able to do deep engineering you should also be able to get the basics right. It takes a lot of time evaluate a real world project and most of applicants would not agree to do one anyway, so basic CS is

I have a co-worker who was told about -j a couple of weeks ago. Before that, he would bill half an hour for every time he did a clean build.

It really, really depends on the company. A certain company has interviewed and rejected me three times, for the last two times the interviewers showed up with lists of questions from previous times.

> If you were not worth X the day before you quit, how are you suddenly worth X the day you decide to quit? On the other hand, why would they have paid you X even if you were worth it, if they could get away with less?

This is a hard question. I managed to make the switch myself a few months ago by dumb luck. A co-worker of mine designed a piece of hardware that caught some attention in local tech scene, and a consumer electronics company that was looking

This. Now, the thing with web developers is that most of the Web developers I have worked with don't know anything of this in depth. They manage to get something done by copypasting together examples, tweaking code at random until it w
