That's fair enough. Are you still coming to the London meetup on Thursday?

Thanks for the explanation on your process for creating the clusters and the analysis. It cleared up a few questions I had. What's interesting is the large clusters where either a for or while loop were used. I'm curious whether if given a

How does that relate to finance? I know that protein folding involves massive computation, as it was what our university cluster was being used for 40% of the time.

I'm curious about the applications of these systems. Why is it that finance would be the third largest (known) group for supercomputer use? What kind of number crunching would they be doing?

Sounds like going with an Assembla.com account might be perfect for you. I'm in no way affiliated with the company, but most of the issues covered can be handled using their tools. I have one git repo with all of my code. Have milestones an

In that case I completely agree that trivial problems would weed out the candidates that can't program, however who says you can't give something harder than FizzBuzz? Also, FizzBuzz is now so common on the web that a simple search would pr

In RoG's write-up he explains that this is a task candidates would have to pass to gain an interview.

Less trivial? It wasn't that difficult, although I wasn't able to complete it in 2 minutes like the colleagues of RiderOfGiraffes did!

Thanks for this write-up RiderOfGiraffes. I'm one of the HNers that sent in code for the test. The feedback provided by RiderOfGiraffes was useful and the follow up questions were food for thought. At the time I'd just failed a coding test

In a not so distant future I can see viruses infecting pace makers and numerous other RFID human aids. Of couse, by this point governments will be pushing for mandatory chipping of all new born babies and children.

Today I lacquered a shed. It's around 30ft x 25ft x 20ft in size. Took all day. Best part was being outside. I need to get myself a laptop to enjoy hacking in the sun.

Out of curiosity, is this in any way related to your "coding test"? and what made you choose this specific set of variables?

Definitely this! I'm passionate about becoming a great hacker and I'm regularly trying to improve my skills in both hardware and software hacking (20/80 split at the moment). My main issue is that I require a lot of structure in terms of th

Why not have a go yourself? If you have a Mac laptop, you've got yourself a mobile usability station. Just get a copy of Silverback App ( http://silverbackapp.com/ ) and start usability testing! Following on from that, if you'd like to ma
