Re:Small company or big company? on Saturday October 20, 2018 @06:52AM (#18262691)

Smaller companies if you want to work for free and have no benefits.

Big companies if you want the company to spend money on training you, good salaries, extra benefits and being to drop the job after going home for the day.

I feel bad for people who are so retarded that they don't even try to quit smoking

May I ask from where you are if you can't understand what derivatives are? Hell it's high school math

Ask HN: Web browser for reading?

Posted by openIce on Saturday June 23, 2018 @03:38PM
from the ask-hn dept.

I was browsing amazon today for an e-reader but it struck me that I already have an expensive phone that outperforms every e-reader on every front except for the display.Then I started wondering, are there specific Android browser for reading only? This might sound like a weird question but I'm looking for a browser that lets me read longer articles without being distracted by popups or images,...

Re:Ask HN: What should I use to write native desktop apps for Ubuntu? on Sunday May 27, 2018 @12:46PM (#17167749)

Why not simply use Java or C#? No one writes desktop software in JS

>It's a trivial application that stores mostly already public data

So wtf are you worrying about then? Only shady companies are afraid of GDRP, the fact that you look at GDPR as a problem is a huge let down in trust for your company

It's always funny to read these stories because I also got tired of the cheap android phones that filled up instantly. Bought a 400€ Nokia and everything just works meanwhile all my friends iphones have all kinds of problems with the hardware

If you can't even point out the faults you are in no position to comment on the content.

EVEN AS A COLLEGE STUDENT I'm not going to do your coding assessment for free. There are plenty of workplaces that skip such bullshit and instead they talk with people and take a quick look at Github/past experience. I have more important things to do and recruiters keep emailing me about interviews every week.

And yeah, I have a job in software development.

Re:Why we still can't stop plagiarism in undergraduate computer science on Friday March 23, 2018 @05:48AM (#16656417)

Here's my input as an actual computer engineering student with good grades and who was hired after 2 years: I have no idea why professors wouldn't want students to collaborate on homework, forcing students to solve problems on their own will only create basement coders who can't cooperate with other people.

Not a single company has ever asked me to invert a binary tree/implementing any more complicated algorithm nor my grades, they have only cared about my personality and non-school projects.

Hell, we are encouraged to work together with other people at my university.
