Particularly their software has been half baked for android.
The only reason we don't notice it this round is their Nexus 4 had a Quad Core A15 and 2GB RAM. Nothing can slow IT down...just drain the battery.
Yeah, give them a simple task. Something that any reasonable programmer should be able to do in 15 minutes. Then give them a solid hour to work on it. If they can't produce something working in that time, that's a pretty informative result. The time limit isn't a speed challenge; it's meant to be very generous, and act as, "Look, we need to move on..."
Personally, I like to give a few different options from which they can choose freely. Something procedural, something OO, and maybe something in SQL or a functional language. Perhaps a couple different choices for each - around 6 to 8 total. That way you don't run the risk of excluding a worthy candidate because you happened to design some problem they aren't really specialized in, and if they can't handle any of them, that's a nice big red flag.
this is a FANTASTIC idea not sure why it hasn't come up yet.
how does not knowing quick-sort make one incompetent?
can you explain these things (algo's and data sctructures) with an example real world scenario of sufficient complexity to be a valid test of competence?
I'm an embedded developer, finding myself headed towards higher level development, and have no formal training on these "data structures" and "algorithms". Most textbooks have worthless stuff like an array list with a sort function. In C, I presume this would be an add, remove, sort function to a malloc'd structure?
that idea amuses me
your honor, I was exercising free speech when I notified my Hamas buddies I was launching that mortar
I had this problem until I started consistently going to sleep the second I got tired. My problems came because I wasn't keeping a schedule.
To get ON to the schedule, 3mg (milligram, not microgram!) sleep tablets of melatonin (completely natural, what your brain releases for sleepy time) do wonders.
because the bust doesn't come until after the election, and wreaks havoc everywhere and for years like the housing bubble did for Japan (2 decades+ lost) and for us.
The flaw is a human one.
*FDIC can be good thing, and it can be abused.
*Monetary policy under democratic control would definitely be abused by the people getting elected-- "sure we'll have a bit of inflation if it means the economy keeps doing well so I get re-elected...and a bit more...and a bit more..."
*Pension funds managed by boards controlled by the workers, what happens when the majority of workers are older retiring soon and pass reforms to raid the coffers leaving the youngins high and dry?
Rest of that stuff is pretty good though, specifically
-Glass-Steagall
-un-suspension of mark-to-market accounting ("require banks to use honest bookkeeping")
-pretty much everything else you listed
You should know the answer before you ask the question if you're really entrepreneur quality.
Agree, very fine tip, writes great, this has been my favorite pen for years.
That's my favorite besides Jonah, which has the additional virtue of being very short.
Not that either is going to be of interest to someone looking to enhance their career.
Ecclesiastes showed me why enhancing my career didn't matter and to look to other things for fulfillment.
Everything I've read from Packt rates 8/10+ in my book.
but should I read your book?
on topic:
1984 made me paranoid as hell.
but as another
This was encouragement in the wrong direction for me.
Yes they are monitoring everybody. But if you practice love, peace, patience...there is no law against these things. Therein lies true peace, because happiness doesn't come from liberty, temporary safety, Benjamin Franklin, or deserve neithers. ???
Profit.
Irregardless, it's a good book and I'd still recommend reading it.
FYI, US Copyright is notoriously weak.
Most EU countries just have a strong Copyright law, which is how they handle Intellectual Property. Your schematic design is not patented, it is covered by Copyright.
In my experience CNN typically writes stories with fancy headlines to generate clicks.
This story fails the BS sniff test.
^calculating the energy required to accelerate a 2 ton object to orbital velocities in under 100 yards is left as an exercise for the reader.
it's probably on the order of the entire consumption of energy of the planet for one hour, condensed into less than 1 millisecond
If you look like your driver's license photo -- see a doctor. If you look like your passport photo -- it's too late for a doctor.
