Re:Hiring without whiteboards on Wednesday March 15, 2017 @07:47AM (#13875423)
I have used both ways, and i would say the candidates in general respond better to using the whiteboard. I do ofcource not require syntacitly correct code or anything like that. Im looking for ideas not if they are a compiler.

Using their own computer way to many struggle with creating a new project or other basic things. And that dont make them comfortable either. It also takes much longer then using the whiteboard.

It should also be put in the context that this movie had a revunue of about 1.4M USD in the cinema. And about 750K USD in dvd sales

The numbers in general in the judgement are just made up and full of bad math.

Tested it on my c2d (P8700). In chrome it claimed my cpu is not buggy, and in firefox the script didnt even work.
Re:Light Table Playground Levels Up on Tuesday July 10, 2012 @02:00AM (#4222342)
Running the install script installs and starts the old version. Might wanna fix that?

edit: It just keept saying version 0.0.8 is availible for me until i ran table update 0.0.8. Just running light table looked for updates but didnt find any. When i finaly got the 0.0.8 version it greeted me welcomme to 0.0.7 :-)

I wouldnt call that a flying car, I would call that a car that can turn into a gyro/helicopter.

Re:Notch live coding 0x10c on Monday April 09, 2012 @10:11AM (#3817001)
Yes, i dont mind that notch is writing code without tests.

I just dont want anyone else to think it is a good idea for them :-)

Re:The Newbie’s Guide to Learning Clojure on Monday April 09, 2012 @10:08AM (#3816993)
same here, why dont people just use github or other usefull hosting for their blogs :-/
Re:Notch live coding 0x10c on Sunday April 08, 2012 @09:13AM (#3813753)
Depends on how long ago you wrote the tests. Pretty soon the tests you will write, will most likely test that the code does what it does. Not what it should do.

And yes, it is a better problem to have, then to have code that noone wants.

Re:Notch live coding 0x10c on Sunday April 08, 2012 @09:12AM (#3813749)
If thoose folks exists, i have never met any. And if they exist, they are few. And if i then need to hire more people to work on the project. Im pretty much out of luck. Even if i know i write perfect code (i dont). I wouldnt trust everyone that will work on my code to write perfect code.
Re:Notch live coding 0x10c on Saturday April 07, 2012 @04:53PM (#3812102)
But if people then want your code, your stuck with code without tests. That you at most, can retro fit tests to.

you can also do it with jrebel, which can reload alot more then debug mode.

Ask HN: what do you use for mysql HA?

There are many ways to get HA with mysql. But what way do you use?How do you handle unplaned failure? How do you handle maintanace? Do you use master->slave and promote the slave on need? Do you use a shared file system and passive master? Or maybe something else? Or did you simply design your application to not care if the database goes down?

Re:How key-based cache expiration works on Sunday February 19, 2012 @08:36AM (#3609304)
But that wont show anything until it most likely already is to late. You dont realy want that value to ever go down, then you already have customers with a worse experience, and when that starts, it goes very fast down the hill.
Re:How key-based cache expiration works on Sunday February 19, 2012 @06:06AM (#3609126)
I assume this has the effect that memcached is always full. How do you know when the hot cache is starting to fill memcached? Ie, how do you know when your cache memory is closing up to beeing to small?

Re:Why SEO Disgusts Me on Sunday June 26, 2011 @10:55AM (#2698084)
I think it is time to divide SEO into two parts. One part where you optimise your site, you change ugly long urls to prettier easier to understand. Decrease the loading time and think about how and what you write. And similar things that mostly increases the experience for the users.

And then the other part where you buy links and other crap.

SEO has started to become asociated with evil. It can be, and it is often easier to do it the evil way. But to some extent it can be done in a good way. You can give customers an awesome experience so they blog about it. Give away free stuff and so on. Its not only evil.

Re:This may be the best resume I have ever seen on Saturday February 05, 2011 @05:06PM (#2184223)
I doubt any professional recruiter would read more then 10% of it. It takes way to much time to read, it is hard to understand and says nothing about accomplishements. Resumes is not about what you have or should have done, it is about what you have accomplished. http://www.manager-tools.com/podcasts/Sample_Resume.pdf That resume is alot faster and easier to read. The podcast that goes with it: http://manager-tools.com/2005/10/your-resume-stinks
Re:Clojure TDD demo with midje on Tuesday February 01, 2011 @10:36AM (#2165816)
I find this excelent. The enforcement on higher abstractions is great. It might take longer to write the first time, but as we all know, its more important if it is easy to read then if it is easy to write. To much clojure i see today has 20+ lines long functions with an abstractionlevel al over the map. Using midje will most likely help to even out the abstraction level and make it alot easier to read.
Re:I got a bad review from TechCrunch, lessons learned on Sunday January 16, 2011 @01:43PM (#2109872)
Is it realy a good idea to lure in experts to find an empty page? I took the time to register and so on to take a look, but only to find empty listings, now i will most likely forget the site and never come back.
Re:jade: a node.js template engine on Sunday January 16, 2011 @04:27AM (#2109071)
What is the benefit of this style of templating engine compared to for example pure (http://beebole.com/pure/) where you write your html in html, keeping it free from logic and keeping it in a way anyone with html skills can understand?
