The irony of your calling him Mr. Slint is that the GOOD Slint album was done by someone else.

The last two places that offered me jobs interviewed me twice each. The one before that, it was a fairly easy half-hour solo technical test, then an interview. I think that's the sweet spot, frankly - a fizzbuzz-level coding challenge

Paradoxically enough, that sounds like a warning against hiring anyone but white males, the only group that can't credibly claim discrimination.

The summary says workers voted "by a wide margin" for a union, but it looks like it was 2,654 votes for, 2,131 against, which is 55.5% to 44.5% or a margin of 11%. I wouldn't call that a wide margin, but maybe it could be con

Not a lawyer, but I read like one, and I agree this is one of the most butthurt and factless filings I've ever seen. How can they SLAPP? How can they SLAPP?

New York by 1987 seemed to have a jam-packed little hole in the wall electronics store in every block. Suddenly now I wonder if they were jumping on the Crazy Eddie bandwagon.

Oh, so you're saying only things you meant are what you said? Yeah right. Peak HN (This might be the most "meta" thing I've ever done - mockingly saying "Peak HN" while satirizing something mentioned in a comme

The article would be stronger if it didn't overreact and exaggerate, but then again I do appreciate the sarcasm. The 74 zip files are the most egregious part of it though. You can't zip those mofos into one file? It's spitefu

You can do it if you know how to use an API. See the 'API' link at the bottom of the page.

I would actually recommend dropping this line of questioning. It's perfectionist. And treating it as a problem that needs to be solved (in effect treating you as a problem to be solved) just puts extra scrutiny/attention/pr

Yeah, they probably should've left out the more nitpicky points to make the whole thing stronger. "It's interesting that he uses the word 'the' here - the definite article. Are things really so definite? " Ano

Maybe it was pushed by the CIA spooks known to be close collaborators and/or on staff there? (Like Saddam's WMDs?) Let's brainstorm what interest the CIA might have in crypto.

Belated thanks for the thoughtful reply. I do have a "skills" section that was designed specifically to satisfy the box-checkers. So maybe that means I can get away with replacing bullets with paragraphs in the experience part? An

For the record, I think Freedom Fries were what they renamed the fries in the Congressional cafeteria or something like that. I never saw it on any menu outside of that. But it wasn't hard for me or my circle of friends to criticize, b

Don't blame me for that "mass suicide" comment, that was someone else's unimaginative and disingenuous reduction of many possibilities (various ways population might shrink) into one -- the most ridiculous and easy-to-sh

Here's an inconvenient truth: Building itself is energy-intensive and depends heavily on emitting CO2 from the cement kiln to the trucks to the excavating equipment etc. Doing it quickly, more so. The answer is always to do less. Less

Arguably that (and I think it might be Columbia you're thinking of) represents a misuse of lists though, because in my mind all the things on a list are supposed to be of roughly the same importance or size or magnitude. I would say th
