Haven't they already monetized on WhatsApp? They've already been able to gather a massive amount of social graph data and personal details, phone number, location information.

If they made any amount of value on WhatsApp data, the users are never informed. I think the only way to really know is to join as an employee and find out what they do/did with it. The only thing we are aware of is advertising when we see it, everything else is nebulous.

> I went through the extra effort of sourcing disks from as many different vendors as possible.

This is very good advice!

If you already built your array, consider advice: "replace a bad disk with a different brand, whenever possible".

Over time, you naturally migrate away from the bad vendors/models/batches. After following this practice, it seems ridiculous to me now to keep replacing the same bad disks with the same vendor+model.

I am also bad sighte, apple's zoom is very superior. Switched to Windows, Linux, and then back to mac for mainly the accessibilities features -- using an 8 year old macbook for your same reasons (big screen, no touchbar, please)

count the number of clicks to check/change ntp host... its an amazing maze, I think you can reach all 4 different themes of configuring date & time

If the candidate's name were posted, this would be public shaming, plain and simple. If I were the applicant, heard nothing back, and read this blog post about my resume, I would be very emotionally upset.

It's hard enough to look for a job...

the timing information you want is what 'ttyrec' is for http://derpi.tuwien.ac.at/cgi-bin/man/man2html?1+ttyrec

Upvote from me, I fully agree with you. I'm sick and tired of people re-packaging python/npm/ruby/etc applications as distro packages. As a maintainer of a few high-traffic python libraries, it wastes my time. I am not ok with it.

Michigan winters may force you to stay indoors during winter storms. Lots of great code is written in winter for this reason.

websockets? at least for "scanning" http://localrouter.net

Didn't Carmack himself port X11 to OS X? What is now "XQuartz".

Anyway, great work scruffy!

had to ban all the good vpn apps to make sure users would download the latest ones with all the latest backdoor tech!

softball questions, unless you have FU money, ask exactly what is on everyone's mind, whatever that is.

that looks like jupyter notebook or the floydhub service he talks about mid-article

i think 'xonsh' aims to do that

what was wrong with this one? http://www.altairkit.com

You're not kidding. We recently bought a few dozen of them from bestbuy, ripped them apart for the disks, and put the disks in a NAS.

We have something similar these all over the office, they come free w/large orders from digikey and mouser I think

No, they are the jerks. And they're often not qualified to perform an interview. No training, they don't know what they're doing most of the time. Probably the biggest problem here is the people performing the interviews are not qualified to do the interview. I received formal training on performing interviews and it still took 50+ of them until I did it well. Most of these people aren't taking it as seriously as they should be -- because they're jerks, probably.

Over time, the number one qualifier to accept an offer or make one is that I don't want to work with jerks. Neither do you. Good for you.

You're lucky to see such "flags" early in the process. So you're doing a great job finding out which jerky companies you won't like working for.

About what to wear: when invited for on-site interview, ask whether you should wear formal or informal business attire, always ask, its a perfectly valid question.

Anyone who says you are only there to be interviewed to fulfill some kind of gender quota is not someone you want to work for anyway. You want to be hired for the merit of your domain expertise and qualifications. I can't imagine any worse feeling than showing up for work every day and knowing that you're just the "token girl coder".

And you absolutely deserve feedback.

You'll be on the other side someday interviewing candidates, so please remember all of these experiences and make it a pleasant one for your next team members.

My best advice is that you have plenty of control. You can walk out at any time. You have the skills they need. It is your time. They need you.

Best wishes!

way easier to understand complex syntax than reading yet another foo(bar) example.

As somebody who is interesting in using tools like Buck or Bazel, but can't, because environments include Windows, dotnet, eclipse xylink sdk projects and other things these tools can't cope with, I'm faced with rolling my own "incremental-compile-by-git-subfolder-hash" and building DAG's of project dependencies across a monorepo.

I've done this twice before for build of Scala+Npm and another time for python, and lots of Jenkins/TeamCity customizations, frankly I'm tired of it.

I'm very excited about finally finding a general purpose tool like this one.

look forward to trying it.

Just to reply that I only briefly did Scala for less than a year, and my perspective of supply vs. demand was from attending a NYC Scala conference, maybe I was mislead to believe the supply vs. demand was this unbalanced.

As in most conferences, there are a hundred folks who say "We are hiring Scala Engineers" at every table and at the end of every talk. My employer at the time was desperately seeking Scala engineers and finding none, so they spent money to train their existing engineers.

So that's my Anecdotal evidence. I really just wanted to add that when I was young, the programming language was everything to me, it was my number one qualifier for whether I wanted to work somewhere. That is no longer true. The people I work with is now the most important thing to me.

supply of scala developers to demand is so unbalanced that you are sure to do fine.

A portfolio that shows that you can complete all facets of a large project (tests, documentation, builds, artifact publishing) will get you hired fine, don't sweat it.
