In my office, whiteboards get used all the time in design discussions and code reviews. It's a very common occurrence.

>come for a week Just who is willing to put up with a week long interview? If someone is searching for a job while they already have one, this is completely untenable.

Sorry, you don't see the intention behind asking people to write code on a whiteboard? Being able to lay out ideas, code, and architecture on a whiteboard is a useful skill in and of itself for communicating with coworkers, let alone u

But you don't have to buy anything? You can just download alien blue and get the pro upgrade for free. And you're not being downvoted by people who love iAlien, just by people who don't think you're adding much to the c

I guess the Laurent should have given that away, but I figured "Landowski" sounded a bit Polish.

Good points. To follow up on them a bit: 1) There's obviously a lot more separation here, but it's worth noting that there is a lot of data out there available to broadcasters that doesn't come from Nielsen, such as broadcast

This is not accurate. There are a couple of competitors to Nielsen, but more importantly, most cable providers these days track what everyone is watching. They may not do a ton with that data (depends on the company), but it's not like

One of the founders is named Laurent Landowski. Could this be a Polish name? Polish also looks to be in beta for them, which is one of only a handful of languages they support.

Just now, I was confused. I remembered there were two browsers with roughly the same name, and when I saw the title I had to think about which was which.

How rarely would you say you log in to Dropbox? I use it quite frequently to access the website to access files when not on a computer with my full dropbox synced locally.

The solution to "it is cheaper to buy than rent" is to buy a condo or co-op. It's still an apartment, but it's not a rental.

But does the link make that distinction? I didn't think it did.

But they want to find out about both kinds of knowledge, your sound judgement on problems and your ability to prepare designs by reasoning about data structures and such. If they only asked questions where the correct answer in production i

In order to sign up for this student pack, you need to be part of a larger institution. You can still learn to code without signing up for this student pack.

I think the challenges to American train travel are less cultural and more geographic. Train systems seem to work in small countries with dense populations, and in fact we see in the northeast that trains are effective and widely used. I li

I went to Harvard, but I think it's important to note that the vast majority of private schools don't have the wealth (and corresponding aid) of Harvard and its ilk.

In addition, this was built at the Dublin Bitcoin Hackathon, so I assume the authors are explicitly interested in promoting bitcoin use a bit more as well.

Is there a no promotion rule? Or just a no self-promotion rule?

This is also my favorite in NYC (and I was referred there by my Malaysian aunt, who certainly knows her Thai food.)

This may be too late for you to see my reply, but what? First of all, there are far more than 3 skyscrapers in NYC. Also, what does CD stand for here? Obviously, I think I'm missing a lot here.

Yes. I see lots of hackathons all the time that don't care about student status. Have you tried to find them in your area and failed?

I certainly wouldn't consider this helpful. I'd rather decide when and if to undertake particular updates to my systems, not have someone else decide to try (and possibly fail) to force one on me in an ad hoc manner.

How much of a role do you really think that plays in Skype? Honestly, Skype is so widespread that I'd bet the average Skype user (a) doesn't realize it's owned by Microsoft and (b) hasn't really cared about the changes M
