What you've written is a glowing self assessment. While it may be entirely accurate, it'd be enlightening to see what kind of feedback the employees in question would give you on the subject.

> I'm no Fox fan, but the left-wing media plays its own games. I'm hoping this is an inadvertent straw man. Is there anyone on the left who would dispute this? Media is it's own indignant shouty echo chamber.

Ok, neat story, certainly. But is there any indication that it isn't completely fictional? Edit: similar info here http://www.minyanville.com/businessmarkets/articles/futures-... It seems these stories tend t

Ok, in the commodities trading business there have GOT to be stories of this sort of thing happening.

Maybe. But imagine if Captain Jean-Luc Picard said it to you as a direct order. You'd probably get busy considering.

It is the fault of those pesky engineers. Of course, these particular engineers were promoted to top management, so...

If I maintained a large project and saw a pull request like that I'd lose my cool as well. Linus clearly needs better and more thorough subsystem maintainers so code like that gets corrected (or rejected) earlier.

Ha... shows you. My code runs on a satellite in geosynchronous orbit* , so this is actually useful! * : not actually true.

Agreed. That's one reason (among others) I'd never consider applying to YC. It appears to be tuned to individuals without any encumbrances -- i.e. the young, unattached, and fairly well-to-do.

Ah, but does your landlord ask you to clean the bathrooms as a condition of staying there?

Seems like a good outcome in the end... but the landlord asking her to clean bathrooms to stay there? What the hell?

Very cool. After the stigma of the antisocial impact of game have followed them for decades, I'm glad to see some potential prosocial* impact of games. *: I hadn't even heard or read that word before now. Excellent concept.

That's a sad state of affairs. So there is essentially no guarantee of backwards compatibility?

Frag is a decade old. Does it still run?

Yours sounds like an approach that measures how well someone codes in a vacuum, instead of how they operate on a team. It very much skews the results... Not to mention for a qualified professional candidate, it feels an awful lot like you&#

This is interesting, but seems to end on an unfair note. Perhaps our good professor's interests and activities slowly moved in a different direction that didn't leave the same recognizable paper and object trail...

Amendments can remove stuff. These amendments seem to just add things though, so... yes, oxymoron.

It's a chicken and egg situation. Developers propose larger than they want because inevitably the negotiations with city and neighbors reduce their plans.

Yes, I think Haskell is the right way forward, generally. It does have some significant whitespace which might be an unfortunate necessity. Another option is autoformatting a la Go.

As another long-time LISPer, I kind of agree. I just wish there were an actual alternative. And as for Python's multiline lambdas... I'll be a lambda heretic and say list comprehensions are the superior approach.

Crusty old GNU Make can be made to be very fast, even for large projects. It does take a bit of doing, however.

It bothers me that this is offered anonymously. I can't invest any time into checking it out without any concept of who produced it.

Anyone else catch how activity these groups engage in "jeopardizes [...] the natural environment"? Sweet, sweet irony.

That's generally true here in the US as well. I guess the distinction is being made in this case because the city data is split into separate jurisdictions and databases... there is no "greater metro area" database for land u
