Interesting, but this is just a huge advertisement for a book. Also; it says nothing about what Microsoft is doing with Minecraft in the last year. There is no new news here in this blurb as far as I can tell. Move along.

Considering that when I found some large holes and reported them I was then harassed by the FBI and given nothing... I think hackers should exploit the holes and then sell them to the highest bidder. Helping protect people just gets you har

After the first couple of paragraphs my own analysis is this: 1. Distance in the mind is based on cues; 3d binocular cues only work at distances less than a mile or so. Beyond that your mind depends on relative reasoning to know 3d structur

Seems like a great candidate to hire onto a job where you intentionally burn people out. She is willing to work 11 hour days, get burned out, and not blame the employer. Lets hire this person. Surely we can get a good year of overwork befor

That's why you should sleep at your desk if you are tired; it is much healthier than getting sick and fainting. Plus; you can wake up if anyone makes enough noise and quickly get back to pretending you are working.

Please put "Will tell the truth in all situations regardless of the effects" on your resume. Let us know how that goes for you.

You imply that because the people who did talk to you did not google you, that no one does. It is more likely that the people who do google you do not give you an interview.

I've worked for multiple companies that intentionally burn out their workers. I even posted negative reviews on glassdoor with my real name. The companies just had glassdoor remove the reviews to appear positive. There is nothing you c

I agree with this very strongly. Be very careful what you post about yourself online that is associated with your easily searchable name that you put on job applications. Burnout may be a real problem, but stating you think burnout is somew

The article seems curiously devoid of explanation as to what caused the burnout. As a result there is no reasoning in it really as to how to avoid burnout. ( besides "take a break when you need it" ) It seems to imply that burnout

You would be surprised at recruiters tolerance for being told off. I have experimented with some and they actually take it very well. They are human beings, as long as you are real they will respond in term. I don't say something like

"I have a low tolerance for bullshit" You should totally add that to your resume. I am sure it will get you far in life.

Recruiters typically make a percentage based on what you end up getting paid. It is in their best interest for you to be paid more not less. The only reason they would pay less is to try to get people into a position to which they don'

I have interacted to a meaningful extent with at least 10 different major recruiting firms, and I can tell you that it varies greatly. There are lots of ones that suck, but some of them are actually quite good and respond well and work for

I've seen people happily work at much lower pay then they deserve. I've also seen people work at higher pay then they are worth and still be miserable. Pay isn't all that.

Note I did not say that I would not pay my developers what they are worth. I am saying I would not put it out there initially in emails. If I stated I pay well publicly it would just attract money grubbing morons.

We don't need more tech people. We need more tech people who give a shit about their jobs besides getting paid.

Yes it is. Many companies doing direct hire ( going past recruiters entirely ) will drop you as a candidate entirely if you ask for salary too soon in the process.

While I agree you need to know the company before accepting; the goal of recruiters primarily is to give you some limited information and then see if you are willing to talk on the phone. A short phone call is the best most efficient way to

Recruiters don't merely pass on resumes. They work hard to find viable candidates and to tolerate their crappy attitudes when they are trying to help place people in good jobs.

I agree it is reasonable to share the company name once you express interest. It is not reasonable to need it to decide whether you will even speak to the recruiter. If your desire is just to weed out recruiters, why not just say "fuck

I would never hire someone with this perspective. Quality of the position and the ability to enjoy it and work hard without stressing is way more important than pay in my book.

What is the point of "X-" prefixes? To make it clear that the thing in question is implementation specific and should not be relied on if you want it to work on all implementations. Should "X-" things be created? Yes. If

Would you mind updating your bar charts to say "Query time" instead of "Query speed". Some mention of the unit of the numbers would be nice as well, such as "Query speed ( ms/req )"
