I assume you are in Canada too? I looked at the company you linked, seems like an interesting idea, I am curious what your results are. Does that 'interviewing company' provide valuable information about the company that they are

You are taking a coding test because the recruiter cannot evaluate you based on a conversation. Even if they were talented enough to be able to, they are not trusted enough by boss / client. The money they make is so good for recruit

Is this a regular job, contract job, or remote job? For a regular job, when I interview for a position, typically, I ask a lot of questions, as I assume most people do. The primary objective is to determine if it is somewhere you would be h

The only issue I can address is the absent minded: Write it down. I use a day planner. Each day is about half a normal sheet. It has a silly string to mark the current day. Each item I put a little box so I can check it off when done.

I would be very shocked if prices when up. Unless they are targeting a niche market, I expect prices will drop. in other words, what percentage of the market are they targeting? If it is just people who do not have access, then no it will

I could not agree more, and that is why I hate ALL politicians, and the corporations that buy them.

Given your first line 'Florida has all of these, but doesn’t have the same economy' is wrong in so many ways, I have a hard time accepting your second paragraph.

Obviously it depends on the app. Most apps I use do it intelligently. Maybe I am avoiding the dumb ones? I suspect your developer friend is more like the typical developer. In that they never thought about that. I cannot tell you how man

Great answers. The Judgement thing can be seen when you are at a conference or training and they say "there are no dumb questions". Personally I like to respond with "What is the capital of <obscure state or country>&

1 Everybody fails. Not everybody learns from failure. 2 A manager will say at least one negative thing about you. Not everyone grows from criticism. Your goals: 1) You can recognize your failures, take responsibility for your failures, fix

I cannot argue their competence, but giving someone a 3 week cooling off time to reflect on why they left seems reasonable. Although trying multiple times does not seem reasonable. Many companies I have left, never cared about why.

Every time I have tried to learn Unity3D it has not left me with a good feeling. First time was extreme frustration. Second time was a lot of work for not much skill. Several obvious conclusions can be drawn: 1) I am an idiot 2) I am usin

I worked for a company where the guy in charge had some vague notion of what he wanted. He made the famous statement 'I do not know what I want but I will know it when I see it'. Hard to develop to that requirement. Needless to

I use a trackball, but I also switched hands I was using to give my right hand a rest. I flipped the buttons. So no one but me will use my machine ... what a nice bonus!

I do not want to be a nay sayer, but often the costco bulks are a rip off. Specifically paper products. Of course their hotdogs are a good cheap meal ... Get the calculator out and do the math. With coupons I often bought the smaller pac

Government numbers are hard to use in reality. If you have insurance that should cover the medical. What share you apportion that to a child ... Breast feeding saves money, makes for healthier children. Diapers could kill you. We did disp

Great advice! My wife would not shop goodwill until she was helping kids with a play and the amount of funds for costuming made her. Now she loves to 'Pop some tags...'

I love trees, well most trees, not a fan of pine trees, as they seem to plant those everywhere .... So after the tree grows, and captures the carbon, then what? Do you let it die, rot and release its carbon? If carbon is the problem, becau

IMHO I think your best next step is to make your resume current and look for another job. There is nothing like seeing an employee being desired by another company to motivate your current employer to treat you better. In todays economy t

The first step to learning LISP the right way is to understand what LISP stands for: Lets Insert Some Parentheses :-) I would be curios if there are a set of guided lessons in Lisp with guided projects. I would like to revisit this languag

Tragic life events that need you to liquidate your savings are very rare. Personally I used charge cards (they had a zero balance) while I waited for the market to come back (2 months) and then I pulled out as little as possible. When the
