Which is why I wrote the second part: Drag them in for x days, get them to work with existing staff on existing problems. If you have engaged staff, they will weed out the (clue|use)ful and reject the time-wasters.

As noted in another reply to this question, get them to bring in a project and explain it. Additionally, they could spend some time with the team they'd be working in, pairing (or whatever) with other members and really demonstrating their

Interview stress and normal workday stress are completely different beasts, in my experience. Coping with one is not always an indicator of the ability to deal with the other.

Never under-estimate the ability of a stressful situation to completely decimate your ability to perform as hoped, regardless of programming ability.

I think it's a massive win for everybody concerned, given the prevailing work conditions the workers had to suffer.

No he didn't.. I've been waiting and waiting, still no joy.

Nice idea, and I'm eager to use it day to day, but one small quibble: It would be nice if the setting allowed me to set the language - you currently set the language based on the location, right? Assuming the language of the land is my pref

I use pay-pal or debit card, if I actually buy something online. Credit-card culture isn't so great where I live, and I personally don't have one - hence the question.

I'm pleased that gccgo provides support for architectures outside of x86 and ARM, this is good news.

Seriously? A down-vote because I ask a question about payment options? Unbelievable.

by rasur 14y ago
So, the only payment option is via credit-card.. And if you have no credit card what then? Am I S.O.L?

I had a lovely morning (2am-4.30) rebooting about 50 boxes by hand. All wearing some shade of java.

Excellent - another internet cock-fight, with both sides managing to act like total cocks.. What would be better is for both sides to fix their code: Crockford to fix minify for the edge cases like this (result: better, more robust code equ

So, who's going to be first with a hardware implementation of the DCPU16? :)

Interesting.. I've been trying to get friends to conduct this experiment, and - albeit with a ridiculously low sample size - we've had 100% failure so far.

I've tried 4 times, with no success. I know my gmail account is pretty accessible, so I doubt it's an issue there.

A slightly off-topic thing, but I'm curious as to if anyone else here with a FB account has tried to download their FB data, but never actually received the notification email or data itself?

In a recent interview (also linked to on HN), he also stated that he provided direct access to (all of) the media companies, so that they could directly delete infringing links themselves.

Ah yes, the old "perform it only on localhost" benchmark. Those pesky networks, they're just bottlenecks for a webserver. I'd take this benchmark more seriously if it was a little bit less artificial. (edit: for grammar)

A lot of co-lo facilities frown upon people taking cameras/phones into their server rooms.

Less works well if you're using an architecture that will run node.js, since the recommended way generally seems to be: "change code in .less files, process with some node based javascript processor". Don't misunderstand - It's not impossib

I agree - "might" does not cut it for me either, but these are political games being played, not technical. Could MU have prevented "piracy" by blocking uploads of copyrighted material? Again, I'm inclined to agree with you and say "DMCA",

It depends on the hashing method, above all. A cheap-and-nasty MD5 (for example) of the exact same film stored in different file formats will yield different hashes. A more sophisticated hashing methodology (for example something akin to th

I think some of the points Kim makes are interesting: - He complies with the DMCA. - He provides direct 'delete' access to his servers for the content companies. - The content companies that claim to be losing billions, with direct access t
