Now swap FBI with China and HN would be calling for a full on ban. When its America, its just “how is this interesting”

South Africa has had constant power outages

can you elaborate more on this or perhaps drop a link?

The C Programming Language

I recommend everyone to read the book Deep Work by Cal Newport

If anyone is curious, this is the doctor played by will smith in the movie concusion https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Io6hPdC41RM

Everybody seems to agree on this. But when we continue to ban drugs. Do the same people scream "prohibition does not work!"?

Deep Work by Cal Newport

I wish our neighbors well! its been a long time over due.I really hope it will be a peaceful transition, as SA has their own problems they need to deal with(cANCer)! We cannot have a refugee crisis and a civil war on our borders

Do you know, that you CANNOT use any of your google accounts if you turn your cookies off? that is just grossly invasive

Valid points. He is a very capable programmer and the work is definitely not boring. His team mates think he threw his toys out the cot because he did not agree with using a particular technology going forward. So now instead of helping write the code, he chooses to do small tasks that he sits on for weeks and months. Really, this is also a failure on management. Managers should know how much work load he has and when he should realistically be able to finish it. But they haven't paid attention to that, so he gets to sit on these tasks for the longest time.

For example. He decided to build a date-picker from scratch for no apparent reason, when there are a trillion jquery, bootstrap date-pickers available. It took him 3 months just to do this, Now he has said he is gonna work on CSS clean up and re-styling all the validation errors, its been 3 weeks of him doing this.

He is the senior dev in his pod. So when theres demos, he's the one that talks and includes himself on features that they rolling out as a "team" effort when he hasn't written a single line of code on it.

I opened the site and thought "oh, I didn't know scump is also a coder" :D

What the hell? the tesla.com site is asking me to register and reserve a model 3 with my bank details to watch the live stream??

But also, a quick fix to this is to add a modifier that throws if m_owners[1] is already initialized

I actually don't see how its different. This was caused by an individual resulting in people losing money. The question then becomes how much lost money or WHO lost money is enough reason to pursue a hard fork?

most "good" points you mentioned there about recruiters code can replicate.

They do a lot of leg work for you

- simple stats and analysis

They have access to many openings that aren't public.

- This is just companies choosing their preferred recruiters in a fragmented industry. A solid platform would solve this

And they can convince good companies to create an opening for you if you would fit really well with the company

- I dont see code doing this. But how often does this happen though?

I get to send my resume to a few recruiters and they call me with all the openings that fit my skill set and i would be interested in.

- Not sure why you think this is exclusive to recruiters. Isnt this just another way of describing filters on a recruitment website?

.They make looking for a new position so much easier. Often they work in teams so you get multiple people doing this for you at the same time. Plus you build a relationship with them, their team, and the company so you with them better next time too.

- Its not hard to code something that can achieve this. Even saw a post here on HN about a site that can mass apply for jobs for you. Could make it a little more intelligent so it learns which jobs you prefer.

but the core difference here is there is no precedence set. Especially since classics core belief is immutable transactions. As long as the community has that integrity. Then its safe. but ultimately. It is a consensus based system. So its not to say its not impossible

It still and will always be. They have set a dangerous precedence. If another group of large developers decide to revert a certain transaction. They could. The one platform that still has its integrity is ethereum classic

Solidity is a contract-oriented, high-level language whose syntax is similar to that of JavaScript and it is designed to target the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM).

hmm true. Maybe smart contracts also need a good old fashioned terms & conditions signed. At least that protects against unknown bugs and exploits?

What would you rather have them show then? Building a culture is not manufacturing a cult. But more of an atmosphere you feel would best serve the company. Showing images like the one you posted is not brain washing people. Its advertisement of the company and its brand. How many people do you think would sign up to work at a company thats dull and gloomy?

Thanks for that advice man. I shall do exactly that

The original author missed a vital viewpoint. He assumed that .net developers would never be good because they reluctant to try new technologies. He then evaluates that as a bad thing. Thats not quite so. This is a testament to how good and mature Microsofts ecosystem is, and the benefits thereof. In business sense. It doesn't make sense to hire a pool of developers who are good at various cutting edge technologies when the current stack can cater for all business needs. Most .net shops are enterprises which have no need for cutting edge technology. In my opinion,that conclusion should then lead to, should we rather not ask "what makes a good developer?". Theres no simple answer. Example, to a business that employees you to ship code, and you constantly maintain good quality and meeting deliverables. Would that not be considered a good developer?

And whats so unbelievable about this stat?

I find that very hard to believe

Honest question, are you a software developer?

Wonder how did you get your app review approved with screenshot demo text such as "appStoreTestApp"

But anyways. You might have a good idea, but that app doesnt do it justice. Poorly designed and implemented. Also, one screenshot?!?

Gosh, This, the Rand manipulation, the deep rooted corruption in the ANC who looted R41B! I just wish SA realized its potential without the human scum.

This is a big F U to snapchat after they refused zuckerbergs offer
