I don't believe this to be correct: "the renter - if willing and able to save his money - can buy a house outright in half the time that a conventional buyer can pay off a mortgage" I don't think this is taking into acco

And is this a buyer or a seller's market? If it's a buyer's market then you can give the interviewee as many tests as you like. If it's a seller's market... you'd better have something really good going for you

I don't think this was written with the output size of the code much in mind. In one example, there was: [+[[!+[]+!+[]]]] Which breaks down to: [!+[]+!+[]] === [2] +[[!+[]+!+[]]] === 2 [+[[!+[]+!+[]]]] === [2] //again So I th

Some kind of proximity sensor... So, drivers have to hold their hand where a passenger would be? However sophisticated you make this, I can't see it actually working consistently. It might serve as a useful reminder - or it might distr

This is unfair to bullshit. Bullshit has intrinsic value as a fertilizer.

Actually, having something that matters to you held back by someone's rejection is exactly the sort of thing I'd expect to make a person angry. In most situations it will lead to the rejectee pushing harder for what they want to do - like

Yep - I don't see any blame for you guys in this thread :-) If you know you were used for this, you might be in a position where you could choose to help out. There may well not be any clear evidence you were used in this instance though.

So, is the obvious response to find a way to change our URL paths to subdomains? e.g. 5236146.item.news.ycombinator.com ? Sounds interesting but not productive, to me.

So, next question is how much malware is hanging around for those printers? Are all / mostly / some / none compromised?

I worked for a company who do big enterprise sorts of things, who seem pretty good as agents go, and understand how to create a path from contract to permanent, if you want to: FDM. Emphasis on "big enterprise" however.

I am occasionally aware of using my spatial memory to pin down parts of code - it might help that I am quite used to computer games, where you switch maps (The example that comes to mind is Deus Ex)

Putting SSH on the open internet with port 22 means it'll be readily identified when people scan. Then they might well try to use dictionary attacks etc. - I'd advise against it simply to stop the log files filling up.

All meetings are optional - it just depends what you're prepared to pay for missing them. In this case, I'd say there's no/negligible cost to missing the meetings on a no-meeting day, unless the entire group of people have decided that it i

I find it helps when there are loud conversations going on. I am normally more inclined to listen to the conversations than focus on my work. Other than that, it can be distracting. I'm quite a fan of http://musicforprogramming.net/

I find this interesting: "Second, it’s irresistible to anticipate the future and expect the problem to grow in a certain direction. Thus code is added to facilitate future changes, which rarely occur. This is a good strategy, but can be put

Personally, I'd like you to raise kids. I think there should be more people who apply their intelligence in the world.* However, I think you should find something that interests you, something you enjoy doing overall, and do that. This coul

This means, when you save money, save it as early as possible. Even days matter - plenty of banks calculate interest daily, and add it to the account monthly. When you borrow money, borrow it as late as possible, and pay it off as quickly a

I've had similar experiences - worth adding is that eclipse is a no-go - not worth trying at all. I have done c# development while having SQL Server running though, so it's not all that bad. Screen resolution is the biggest issue for anythi
