What a completely and utterly useless junk article littered with incredibly annoying SIGN UP NOW ads. Based on the site, here's what I imagine their actual interview process to be like. The first basic programming ability question asks the candidate to SIGN UP NOW FOR OUR NEWSLETTER. Its a fairly straightforward test, you just need to SIGN UP NOW, ENTER YOUR EMAIL IN THIS BOX PLEASE. Once the candidate has shown their ability to do this, they move on to a take home project where they are asked to deploy annoying pop up ads for startpage so they don't have to implement it themselves. So far, they've interviewed THREE candidates so they only ask you to sign up THREE TIMES when you visit the site.

What a trashy website.

Are they using HTML/CSS/JS for their interface?

This really sucks but I really hope we get a very detailed explanation of what went wrong like with the Toyota unintended acceleration case. I find these sorts of things so interesting

Tech hiring sucks, and the people who continue to do such a bad job at it seem to wear their behavior and tactics as a mark of pride.

There are a few companies that make it a point to mention they avoid the kind of interviews you've been getting. Perhaps try to seek them out rather than rely on recruiters

Nintendo is looking pretty bad right now. They've abandoned or neglected a lot of their core franchises, made a strange first push into the mobile space and are way too tight lipped about their future plans.

I just can't feel excited about anything Nintendo does any more.

Anyone know what sort of widget toolkit they are using to draw Material Design on Chrome OS?

Tipping is an awful and awkward practice that shouldn't ever be encouraged. I found I was way happier about paying for any kind of service in parts of the world where tipping isn't expected or even frowned on. Pay your employees properly. If you are self employed, roll gratuity into the fee for your service.

This is taking one of the best things about Uber and Uber-like services away. Ignoring the surge pricing BS, I don't have to keep an eye on the meter, I don't have to argue with the driver about the fare, I don't have to worry about the tip, I don't need cash on hand, etc.

I don't think they are 'stupid'. I think in general the overall look and feel of applications, websites, etc is all very subjective. For example I really strongly dislike many aspects of Material Design even though most people seem to love it.

Also since they are constantly changing and tweaking things I've given up on constantly criticizing looks (or trying to customize things to suit my taste) and I just focus on usability and functionality. I only get upset when a user interface has become so poor that the former things suffer as a result.

"While we believe adblocking is a consumer right we also believe that publishers whose content we access have the right to protect the Integrity and Delivery of their web content from any form of manipulation, change or censorship."

Lol, yes, you have a right to download malware, annoying video and audio and related junk on my system first in its entirety before I block it. This site also calls ad-blocking a 'racket'. Give me a break.

I have a simple policy. If you ask me to unblock ads nicely and clearly and explicitly state your ads have NO video, NO audio, NO pop ups or other crap then I unblock them. 99% of times I regret unblocking ads and block them again immediately because they are so terrible and in your face.

The advertising industry has no one to blame but themselves.

I tried react playground on my phone. I think only a single example worked correctly... why would they put it on their showcase?

At the very least I don't think Flutter is wrapping native UI components. Flutter renders its own widgets written in Dart and using Skia as the underlying graphics library. So it seems more like QML in that sense.

No, I'm not a web developer. I've tried reading some React articles. There are lots of points that are brought up again and again (diffing for minimal incremental updates, unidirectional flow, etc) that I find really hard to care about since I've never encountered them in the kind of native development I do.

Is there a 1,000 ft overview of React Native with a brief description of how it works, its capabilities and its limitations out there?

There's so much hype surrounding this framework, but also a lot of criticism and its extremely difficult as an inexperienced outsider to quickly determine whether or not React Native is suitable for a given project.

When I look at another cross platform framework like Qt, I can usually get a better idea of what it can do. But with React Native, its way harder to get that big picture because it seems like it wraps some native components but not all of them, etc.

Everything I read about React, especially from Facebook just seems like a puff piece. Because I know there are Facebook devs browsing this: please consider writing a proper summary.
