Having few female contributors isn't a sign that Rust is anti female. It could just be that females aren't that interested in Rust, or perhaps more likely that there just aren't as many female developers. Honestly of all the

I can't speak for everyone but I hate having apps I don't use. They just take up space and annoy me with notifications either within the app or through updates. Google Photos has helped greatly with the space issue on my phone tho

Unfortunately I already use CareerCup.com and aced my algorithms final when I was in school. However, it's not like you can just memorize the stuff you see on CareerCup since it's unlikely you'll be asked a question you saw o

I'm not sure it's true that a larger, more mature company has a harder time keeping employees happy. I get that pre IPO companies have that advantage, but a company like Google which makes absurd amounts of money also has its adva

When you figure out how you can memorize your way through Google's interview process, please give me some advice. I study algorithms constantly out of interest, and still only managed to do well enough that they gave me another try a w

I can't speak on their behalf, but I can see how this would be interpreted as a negative signal. If someone is really excited about ML stuff, and you aren't going to hire him for your ML team, then I would be afraid that the perso

I think your points make sense but you are forgetting that the demand for a certain skill isn't constant. So, while it's true that there are many people who can code entering the workforce, it doesn't imply software developme

I'll upvote you because I think you have a valid opinion, and you shouldn't be downvoted because your opinions differ from others. We need other opinions to have a healthy discussion after all. I just want to say that first of all

I believe the reason we need to coerce people into paying is because economically if you don't let people volunteer to pay, it just doesn't work. Excuse me if I don't have the sources for this as it was my Econ PhD friend who

Can anyone explain to me, someone who's more than happy with GMail, what these apps offer that aren't being offered by Google/Microsoft? It seems like Mailbox had a loyal following but I guess my email use is just not sophist

Another positive thing about him was that he was a genius, or at least incredibly smart. He scored in the top 100 in the Putnam while at Harvard.

I think it's great that the author tries to address high turnover rates by trying to make the company a fun place to work. However, I feel like he's taking the wrong approach. It's certainly true that developers want to have

Is it so wrong that some try to strive to find work that is enjoyable? Just because work is work and you have to do it to survive doesn't mean people shouldn't prefer it be less painful.

Pretty sure even most people with CS degrees could not configure Linux. It's pretty specialized knowledge as far as I can tell.

If you don't mind me asking, what company is this that uses Haskell everyday?

I disagree that you were "too much" yourself, because if being yourself means you aren't a good fit for the company, it's better for both parties that you don't join the company. I'd argue that it just wasn&#x2

I wonder if these capabilities will come to the few of us who still prefer the command line or if we'll be forced to upgrade.

How does Slackware compare to ArchLinux? They both seem to be very barebones and force you to learn more about Linux, but ArchLinux seems much more popular from what I gather.

Unless things have changed drastically, they use internal tools to generate the code. I used to work on one of the SDK teams.

If you are using Java and have not tried Lambda Expressions, method references and default methods, do so now! After that, you'll think "How was I able to live without that?" I think instead of "How was I able to live

While I do find it unfortunate that software developers in research are underappreciated, I wonder if making an official title for this will really solve the problem. One issue is that if all you are doing is writing code, you could do the

While the article was interesting, I wonder if the 50% of dropouts is really caused by people feeling like they are not smart enough. I've met quite a few people who dropped out of good PhD programs, but most of them dropped out becaus

Why would an expert consider his/her accomplishments trivial? I thought that Dunning Kruger just implied people who aren't good think they are much better than they are, but people who are experts would already know they are bette

I think it probably has to do with the kind of lifestyle you have. For me, I have to commute by bus, and most of the time it's packed so I have to stand. While on the bus I'd like to use my phone to avoid boredom, which means usin

I don't think companies care about morals. I think they really only care about making money. In Amazon's case, I know they go out of their way to treat employees well only because they need to. This makes sense, especially for a c

Since when were corporations concerned with moral values? I mean this is Amazon, the company that infamously treats its employees like poorly. FWIW I used to work there and it wasn't as bad as the articles made it out to be, but I woul

While I agree, it seems relevant to mention the experience with it anyway because it seems some people's poor experience with GAE might have actually prevented them from trying GCE. At the very least it helps answer why some people use

At least with Android you can view and compile/install from source right? I thought that was one of the main benefits of using open source for security; that you can both verify the source is secure and also that you can be sure the so
