Don't you feel the drive and thrust to create and innovate and contribute to society? You're on here so you can probably code. You probably are lucky enough to have a very deep understanding of your family business (supply chain d

In terms of pre-loaded crapware, I was really infuriated by their Peel Remote Control app recently introducing a custom lockscreen overlay and ads without any warnings. http://www.androidpolice.com/2017/03/29/

Curious to get some perspective from (British) Londoners and how they feel about this. Do they not feel cornered out of the market against the top 1% of global talent heading to London? Particularly in tech with insane recruiting procedures

How would this work in practice? I'm guessing you're from a reasonably financially comfortable background so you don't have to worry about loss of security. What happens in 10 years time when the market only seeks Tensorflow

Without a doubt I found that being put on the spot and under pressure reinforces the learning experience in a way that is simply unmatched when trying to learn alone. Particularly for phone interviews where there is really a limited set of

Yeah why not just ask a surgeon to perform in a janitor's cupboard. No gauze? No problem, improvise with a mop. Remember, the aim is not to actually perform the procedure, just see if you solve problems under stress.

It took me 5 minutes on my laptop at home to code out a problem that I danced around for an hour on a whiteboard being stared down at by 2 engineers in silence. Yes, I had the benefit of hindsight, but unless you've actually done a whi

You have my sympathies. A firmly drafted lawyer's letter should get their attention very quickly. This will cost you a small amount but it will bypass CS protocol and get you a senior.

Great well for what it's worth I'm a "multicultural minority" and you're most welcome to express your views through the democratic process if you are Londoner. Evidently, Londoners don't discriminate based on s

I think there's an advanced level that lets you downvote comments, though I do find - particularly of late - it's pedantic and politically abused rather than sensible content moderation.

I've never worked for MS but my impression was that they are a decent tech bunch (corely Java). Also you can't really beat http://www.morganstanley.com/profiles/bjarne-stroustrup-mana...

Ah you were doing so well and I'd almost agree with you as a Londoner until you hit me with Muslim mayor. Frankly I'd much rather him than most of the flat out lying Oxford PPE scum.

I was thinking about something very similar, essentially embedding an IDE on top of Youtube videos. Like others, I agree this is very neat. Is it just me that can't hear any audio?

Sanctions are collective punishment of a populus. America has no idea of how much anger it sows around the world. You will reap what you sow.

This is almost facetiously hyperbolic. I don't have time right now but I'll be responding later.

I'm going to assume "couldn't accomplish the task" means couldn't get it entirely correct. Do you provide a testing baseline that determine the expected behaviour? With TDD being the norm and correct way to test you

Probably inaccessible to an outsider, but there is strategically a big push in the industry to automate liquidity and market making across derivatives and fixed income.
