Funny anecdote: I was recently contracting at a company that was OOP gone amuck. Everything written in Java ca. 2001 style. Lot's of message wrapping and unwrapping. Lots of dependency injection fun and games. At some point, their lead

I'd say yes. Pony up.

Singleton? No no, those are ALSO evil. No, we need to use a dependency injection container to provide that object instance.

"In addition, Q-carbon is harder than diamond" I was under the impression diamonds were pretty much the hardest known material. If that's so, then I imagine that this alone is the most significant part of their discovery?

Oh, you mean: And of course this definition isn't black and white — there are people who fall on different sides of the line at different times, so it is more like a spectrum. ;)

I don't understand. What would they need that kind of money for at this point? Surely they are raking in lots of revenue?

Nice reasoning. How long did it take you to figure it out?

They are not terrorists though. Their goal isn't to harm their target - their goal is to enrich them selves through ransom.

On the other hand - Chimps are significantly less intelligent than humans. So clearly, genetics play a role.

And it will be predictable indeed.

Really? Not even an email?

I understand your frustration, but you dug that hole for your self. If you want $15/h, tell the client that. Or give a quote. When you just leave it to them, of course they will low ball you.

It seems rather ridiculous to ask graphics-programming questions of someone interviewing for a server side position. I don't think any kind of preparation would help you with that kind of questions.

Hellofresh is a Rocket Internet clone, so not too surprising that it looks exactly like Blue Apron.

I don't think PHP does bad on any of the aspects you listed there.

by troels 11y ago
I think that's very true. It was also a different environment back then - people affected were a much more homogenous group, so it's not surprising that we as a group identified strongly against what MS did. That fosters strong fe

Layout thrashing is when the browser layout engine does some work to render the page, but then something changes and it has to do it over again. A typical case is if you have a loop in javascript wherein you both read and write to the dom.

IoC is the way that DI solves the problem. But the problem is dependency management - and there are other ways around that.
204.
by troels 11y ago
Fair enough. It's probably a matter of taste to some extend. I generally don't like too much structure unless there are clear benefits and DI doesn't seem to hold up on that scale. The problem it's solving has traditiona

I disagree. They were a solution to the inflexibility of rigid languages like Java, but seems entirely alien in the context of Javascript. A DI framework adds a load of indirection.

by troels 11y ago
They kind of solve the same problem, but in different ways. I, for one, think it's debatable if the 800 lb gorilla that is dependency injection has any merit in javascript.

In all fairness, the author explicitly stresses the importance of paying for the work.

One benefit of making the timeframe short, is that the candidate isn't pressured into spending way too much time on it. You may say that they should only spend 2 hours, but in reality, someone who wants to make a good impression is goi

I would assume that - by default - all members of the team at that weekend have an equal ownership. And not just of the code produced - of the concept as a whole.

What if one of the team members was gay? How do you think he would've felt about that?
