It was a bad spec. He meant

if( !IsNoblerToSuffer(slings, arrows) ) { die(); }

As long as we're taking Clean Code, Uncle Bob has an awesome video series that covers all 4 of his books. You can watch most of it on Safari ... Or I'm sure you can find ways to "LEGALLY OBTAIN" it

@uriandwubber I think the main reason these kinds of algorithm interviews exist are to basically determine whether fresh CS grads were good at being CS students.

That and make sure you're willing to play stupid games and memorize solutions and then pretend you are coming up with the answers in front of them. Plus it's easy to say conclusively whether or not it was the answer they were looking for.

@JKyll I think the main problem was that modularity was added to the language very late in its evolution. If you go for decades without standardized ways to organize your code, you will get a reputation for being jumbled.

That line never ends. I worked for managed hosting and ended up doing code fixes.

You can think of it like the null object or special case pattern. It's typed as a number and used in place of numbers in functions but its value represents the idea of non-numberness

In secret, Facebook is working on "Heart", A living, beating human heart in a jar. It's Zuck's ticket to immortality.

The question is, are there a lot of active contributors? Not here to judge, just saying...

Ok you've got VMs on it, I will stay the rant about there being such a thing as too much ram.

The vast majority of bugchecks (blue screens) 2000, XP, and above are from bad drivers, followed by faulty hardware.

That said, I had a really annoying bug on my HP laptop where I was getting them every week due to an issue with a sound driver and sleep mode, so it does still happen... Just not to everyone.

Types are a lot more than memory layout, they're an abstract concept. All data is typed, whether or not your language makes you state that type. Types are defined by the set of operations you can perform on them. In Java, types are usually expressed as classes or interfaces. So I guess the purpose of a type is to restrict nonsense operations like uppercasing a float.

If you can't succinctly describe your commit, it probably should have been multiple commits. #srp

To be fair, support at SoftLayer is hit or miss. I once worked for a managed services firm that resold SL and if we needed a support ticket from them, it was usually a pain. Also for a few months ok Tuesdays, our SAN would go down for half the day and there was nothing we could do but call them every hour.

But not supporting an updated php is asking to be hacked.

To be clear, I don't care where you put stuff. Just that the desktop manager has gotten very judgemental as of late

Windows is punishing you for keeping everything on your desktop.

Check out Elixir. It's a (mostly) functional language inspired by Ruby.

Yeah, it clearly differentiates mobile. So I guess a lot less people are using their sun sparc stations for porn these days.

Swapped out the hdd on my HP laptop last night and I had a screw left over.

It's ok. There was a leftover screw hole, too, so they cancel out.

Instead of setting sleep to null, consider subclassing sleep with a null object that makes you more tired when you apply it in the morning

For Windows and Linux it was shitty drivers the whole time, you never even had a chance

Sorry, but your code is in another module
