Solving that code test in a more effective manner? :)

Content/Media on the web is bad and people are dissatisfied.
How exactly do you reach this conclusion? I mean we can all make huge assumptions about the opinions the average human have on the quality of media, but I don't think that qualifies as any form of factual commentary.
Point being, commoditization is not a binary. It's not on or off, there's varying degrees of just how bad it is. At some point during that scale, the quality argument tends to fall down a little bit and I've seen it happen a few times.
Interesting to hear you still offshore though, despite obvious troubles.
If what you're doing as a business can be done for a fifth of the cost in the Philippines, India, etc, then you have a serious clock on your business model before the 'quality, quality, quality!!' argument runs out.
Seen it with a few things now. The biggest flaw that businesses do in this situation is believe in that the quality of the product will continue to outweigh the cost difference. It won't. ;/
By the way, I'm not saying there's inherently something wrong with the quality of work from those nations, I'm speaking strictly about offshore 'hubs' that are set up to purely be a cost-saving. Those type of hubs have a hugely different mentality when it comes to production in my experience.
Using a 6S, I'll comfortably get through a long long day without the need to plug it in.
But that's not my point. The point is I'm constantly around an opportunity to charge my phone. Everywhere. The only times I can see this being a real issue anymore is when you're travelling long distances without lounge access.. maybe? But even then, a battery pack solves all those woes.
I just personally feel like we're at a point now where batteries are a non-issue. Does anyone else have major issues with newer smartphone batteries? I just don't feel like it's a thing anymore.

Has worked very well over here (300+ sized business)
Two months ago I pretty much decided 'ok you know what. This is it' after waiting for 25 seconds to get a note back that then turned out to be mysteriously 'missing'.
It happens, right. I get it. And I got it back with some support. But the focus wasn't there, and the platform got old.
Wind the clock back a year and a half (maybe two?) and Evernote was unstoppable compared to the competition.
Now? It's stale. Slow. Predictable and uninspiring.
While reading letters of layoffs is almost always a depressing thing, I sincerely hope that the 'focus' which they speak of is real. That everything, and I mean everything, gets dropped except making the core product as amazing as it once was.
If they do that, I'll come back in a heartbeat. I'll come back with dollar bills.
I got faith Evernote. Come back to the light.
How do we (blanket statement) try to address the overall level of understanding that people have around this topic and make them understand that the problem is real, serious and needs significant thought?
I've thought about this a fair bit. Think about your average non-super-technical co-worker. How do we get them to see the problem in a clear way, and how do we rally people around the problem? I don't know how to, but I try and fail and try again. It's a tough gig. I do have an enormous man crush on Matthew Green though.
Language is a hard question though, there are a lot of things to consider around what sector you want to focus on. The holy trinity seems to be Python, Ruby and C.
ASM is probably very overlooked in general, but also a lot harder to master. Good luck, hope you get to a point where you can take a few steps forward. This is going to be an enormous area of interest over the next few years (much more so than it already is) so enjoy the challenge and the money ;)
Super interesting to hear I'm not alone. I'm finding it works extraordinarily well, and even in situations where my Lastpass details are compromised (like today), it's not necessarily a disaster, just an inconvenience. But in return, almost complete peace of mind and liberation from passwords.
Great news!
Korea and Japan have drug problems as well, but it seems that's not necessarily shaping public restrooms.

* What they are motivated by [the motivation itself gives you clarity in their personality. Lack of motivation does as well. None are bad traits, they just reveal things]
* Posture and body language
* Eye contact and eye movement when speaking
* How they speak of other people, good and bad
* Lying [everyone lies. some people lie about important things]
* Reaction to criticism/blame
* Evidence of perseverance
* Dealing with silence [some people call them 'awkward silence'. That's pretty revealing ;D]
* Balance of aggressiveness and passiveness
* Ambition or lack thereof [no right or wrong here] * Levels of child-like enthusiasm for passions versus task driven enthusiasm
* Social interests [again, unsocial introverts aren't necessarily a 'bad' trait. Just something that adds to your personality]
* Instability
I just wrote those up then, it's hard to verbalize, admittedly.
So these dudes essentially give away the vast majority of their profit yeah? What am I missing? Don't get me wrong, it's incredible.. but at the end of the day, very few forms of altruism exists and I feel like I'm overlooking some part of the equation. Where's the sinister ending? :)
IE: Environment.GetResourceString("ArgumentOutOfRange_Index")
The string there is in multiple areas of that class, and the same behavior is displayed for all of them. Wouldn't logic suggest everything such as above would be moved in to a constant repository for clarity and also less potential human error for future additions?
"Passphrases shorter than 20 characters are usually considered weak if they only consist of lower case Latin characters."
This goes against the concept of diceware generated passwords of 4-6 short words doesn't it? Where in this equation am I getting it wrong? I've been approaching passwords like this for a while now.
I get it, HTML can replicate performance of native apps to a certain extent now, but it's also bound by restrictions that native apps aren't.
Speed of innovation being one. HTML5 is a large ship that takes a long time to evolve (in comparison). iOS and Android aren't, by the same means. Particularly iOS since Apple has a habit of introducing backwards compatibility breaking new features.
I don't understand fully how hybrid made apps will ever be able to properly compete with a native platform for this reason alone, not mentioning some of the other problems that plague hybrid and middle ware apps.
