I'm not buying the MITM argument in general. If remote code is downloaded via HTTPS, it could not be hijacked, at least not easily.

I love cold calls from recruiters which, having found out that I'm not interested in their proposal, ask if I can recommend someone or ask around.

Well, yes, in an interview for a Java dev position I'd expect the candidate to be able to write code (whiteboard/paper) which at least remotely resembles Java syntax, is logically correct and does not break universal things like b

The question sticked as a tradition, everyone had it on the interview. Noone ever gave the smart arse answer, by the way, but some people said "you're not looking for the library method, obviously".

I'm not saying it's a good task, I'm saying that people failed it despite we were thinking the task is trivial. But still, I'd expect Java developer to know that Java strings are immutable and that you can't treat t

On one interview they asked me what my favorite pattern was. I said "visitor", was already about to start explaining but heard a deep breath-out and "thanks God he didn't say singleton". Appeared they had it pretty

The whole topic is about coding on the whiteboard, not just expressing the thought process.

In my previous company we used ask candidates to code a very simple task: reverse a string in Java, on the whiteboard or on paper. It is a trivial task but many seasoned people failed it to the extent that we thought "you don't re

A few more: Console gets spammed with "not active or paused - skipping speed" messages, what are these? There seems to be an onclose-like handler which warns me that I might have not saved the changes (I've uploaded 6 files).

I liked the service but I'm afraid it will end up like all the 1-click-hosters: as a storage for pirated content, blacklisted in most corporate networks. Few comments: Animated backgroud is very distracting. I'm constantly reactin

There's no reason a printed house you couldn't get wiring, plumbing etc. just as with normal construction. Maybe even easier since you can preset positions of sockets and openings in the house model. Wasteful land use? Why that, b

I love German language, but one thing totally freaks me out is that in German numbers between 21 and 99 are pronounced "backwards". That is, 21 is "einundzwanzig" - "one and twenty". I speak German for somewhat
