You're describing a great answer if we were designing the system from scratch. But, as many of us engineers know, dealing with legacy requirements can change the clearest path to a solution. I know very few people who correctly calcu

It's also worth pointing out that there's a serious lack of talent in the defense contracting industry (not universal -- but certainly on average). The pay is typically not very impressive, the working conditions tend to be stres

I think this is what a lot of overly optimistic "rehabilitation" advocates miss. They seem to believe that if you provide just enough nurturing, opportunity, and understanding that people who act outside society's acceptable

I love that a site full of engineers is pretending that getting a pull request approved by colleagues is the same thing as getting management's approval for a new, most likely controversial feature. Google is clearly trying to squash

Well that leaves two possible cases: (1) the company does not value person's experience correctly and fails to understand the value they deliver or (2) the candidate is not going to be able to deliver the value they're requesting

I think anyone who is not familiar with these particular communities in Lakewood and Brooklyn will see warning flags of anti-semitism in a lot of related comments about them. I would just like to voice some support for the people speaking

It's treated as such for a wide variety of things. Condo associations use arrest records as red flags for potential residents. Any arrest record removes your status with the global entry programs with CBP. I'm sure there's

CBP != ICE. I'm very wary of this recent push to vilify anyone who enforces immigration laws or the integrity of our borders. It seems to be a very emotional, knee-jerk reaction that completely ignores the inevitably serious conseque

I've had the most success doing a remote, one-hour pair programming exercise via screen sharing with the candidate. They're allowed to look at docs, do any google searches, and I don't penalize them if they don't finish

I agree with your premise that baby boomers have very tenuous grasp on how unique and lucky they were to grow up in the economic time period that they did. When the vast majority of the world's population is third world farmers and yo

This reminds me of a funny conversation I had with a coworker: he's black and was complaining that his sister named his nephew "Lashawn" (for those outside the US: it's a very stereotypically African-American name). He
