At Google there's a one-strike policy. If your dog defecates indoors, bites someone, is overly friendly, or any number of things like that, you can (and generally are) asked to not bring them back. It's also considered common cou

Also, FWIW I'm near my vacation cap. My plan is to start taking every other Friday off in order to not lose vacation. Teammates and manager were all like "nice" when I let them know.

I work for Google in MTV now. I usually get in around 8:30 and am out on the first bus, just before 4:00. I've worked 3 evenings in the past 5 years (2 were for hackathons, one of which translated into a transfer offer), and I spent tw

Hacking doesn't need to be self-deprecating. I'm proud of some of my work that I consider a hack. When I worked in finance, I hacked together a bridge between an FIXML order pub/sub service and a proprietary exchange server.

Every time I crashed my bike in NYC, it was due to a taxi passenger flinging the door open to get the driver to stop. Not once was it a parked car or someone turning into my lane. Anecdotal, yes, but I doubt I'm the only one.

Anything can be a learning opportunity. Maybe what you learned is that the company isn't as professional as you'd hoped.

Take it as a learning opportunity and try again. I'm assuming you're a software engineer.... You didn't say anything about your skill level or experience, or what level you were looking for. Interviewers are often given a tar

One of the reasons: at that scale the cost of identifying and refactoring reusable code into shared modules just isn't worth it. Your project may have something in common with my project, but I wouldn't want to refactor my code i

That's not really true. More than 5% of engineers work on Android and Chrome, neither of which are developed in the core repo. There are a wide variety of other teams that choose to not work in the core repo for a wide variety of rea

These aren't clear either. Is that $1000 At Guns R' Us a rifle, or bulk ammo? Is that $25,000 at Guns, Fishing and Other Stuff a rifle with fancy inlay or a new fishing boat.

But by and large, the decision makers can't make those decisions, because of dependencies on open source systems that are too large to audit, or closed source systems where all they can do is trust the vendor's salesperson who s

Fun fact: The contractual obligation says they can't charge you more for using a credit card. But it doesn't say they can't charge you less for using cash. This is how gas stations get around it. The gas is the higher pric

From an insider's perspective, yes. They are completely technically illiterate. Banks. Exchanges. Brokers. The whole financial services industry.

Regarding the crime issue, high density of people paying $3000/mo for an apartment attracts crime from outside the immediate vicinity. You've basically put a good amount of wealth in one place, and added more people. That makes c

I've done AIDE on a tablet. It'd be cramped on a phone, but possible. It pairs very nicely with a bluetooth keyboard and mouse (or wired even, with the right cable). It was pretty awesome on the old Asus Transformer line, and i

Depends on your depth. I'm 38, and I have opportunities thrown at me every day, based on a resume with work experience going back to '99, so my age is easy to tell (I'd actually assume that I was 40 from my resume). There&#x

Which things are these? And since generally there's a lot of effort to not break old apps, why wouldn't you just do it the pre-5 way? Also, just to check, we're talking about versions and not API level, right?

I liked the article. Maybe a bit about how the LinQ methods are (or could be) implemented under the hood to show how easy this can actually be? I've always like the good old fibonacci sequence for this too, because it shows off some s

If done properly, immensely. Sites can log invalid password attempts, and unscrupulous sites could include attempted usernames and passwords. That basically gives them a dictionary of accounts to try, because let's face it, most peopl

Except it's not really. Releases are always additive, and (to my knowledge) have never removed anything (even when they really really should have). The only reason to target a newer version is if you need things that were actually adde

But that's because there is zero genetic diversity in the Gros Michel and Cavendish plants. None. They're all clones. You need some form of diversity to develop resistance.

Banning the account will have no effect. In the future people will just use throwaway or sockpuppet accounts, so who cares? Also, I don't see who benefits from this hoax. Who is going to use him as a hosting provider whether the prob
