Re:Facebook's Recruiting and Retention Problem on Monday April 20, 2009 @04:45PM (#571365)
I got asked the same SQRT question from FB (this was over the phone mind you). Not sure if I should give the the name of the interviewer. I bet it was the same guy. Anyway, the interviewer asked me to go to a FB site where we can collaborate and he can see what I am coding. He asked me this question and did not budge away from it. It was just ridiculous. For the life of me, I tried various different methods, even going to wikipedia but it was extremely complicated to code that up in a short period of time. We spent half the interview on this question. I decided to go work for Google, a much better company, instead.

This is according to one of the comments found on iReddit iPhone app story. They've got a solid infrastructure in place since they also built iReddit.

Idea worth abandoning.

from the self-post dept.

I am an experienced iPhone developer interested in creating an iPhone app for HN, similar to iReddit. However, there doesn't seem to be an API nor a way to access any of the data, other than through an RSS feed. I want to tightly integrate and include the ability to login, post comments and obviously upvote/downvote stories.I read from the comments that the guys from 280North are working on...
