Isn't this a minor security issue (CSRF?) Theoretically, can't any website put this tidbit in an ajax request and get people to submit their page?

I think this is irrelevant, because the question was AVERAGE . Personally triplebyte rejected me (as somebody who considers himself in the top 5-10% [won a math award, 1500/1600 SAT, worked at B…

I think this is a fair question because you sincerely are asking. I think you have to admit that a manager who can make the team care about work, enjoy it, feel like a team, feel like they're wor…

As it stands I think "soft skills" is one of those buzzwords like "critical thinking." Everybody thinks its good, but it hasn't been established as a scientifically-valid …

tl; dr: 1. Author observes that he's witnessed a lot of emotional backlash to the suggestion that soft skills may outweigh hard skills in tech; suggests the emotionality of the reaction is indica…

I don't understand why this is a goal... Yes if machines could self-teach the way humans do, they'd be really powerful. However, in many ways programs are better than people, and we try to g…

I think this article doesn't take a broad enough view of the question. As stated, it's a very large (and non-trivial) question. For example, as stated, the question includes questions like: …

Could you not flip the argument, and ask "Do you think a gay-married person could really work effectively with somebody who 's made a donation..." and thereby flip who we fault for the …

I think there are 3 main reasons ORMs came into common use: 1. As a reaction to common SQL injection from poor libraries not implementing parameterized queries. (2004 or so) 2. Novice engineers not wa…

That's a very fair point. I attribute this to just a lack of education. I never learned in my public education the darker side of American history, and I think to a lot of people some of the craz…

I think the parent poster was lamenting that as a man, he feels that it's unfortunate he fears he can't express the points you so eloquently did, because when somebody suggests his motive is…

I think Us-Them is much larger than two-party. When you look at countries with multiple parties it doesn't seem their political systems are wildly more efficient. I think US vs THEM is incomparab…

As a dude who doesn't use social media (no FB, linked-in, twitter, vine, snapchat, instagram, whatever I don't get the big deal. People love writing angry posts on social media about social …

Almost upvoted this, but then it seemed to be an App not a website. I'm probably a minority in this preference.

literally unviewable for all the popover content.

What are you benchmarking against? As compared to what you'll read in published books on the shelf (which seem to write whatever they feel like) or even mainstream media or even the average profe…

This kind of thing makes me want to vote with my dollar by canceling Netflix and torrent instead.

This is dismissive. I don't foresee any valid contingency scenario that validates a "false flag," the fact that individuals in the government would think this way only gives credence to…

This is all-over-the-place. Firstly it argues you can tell if somebody is "truly smart" based on if they answer interview questions with an overly-technical explanation... Then it plays heav…

What do you mean lost? I deleted my linked in over a year ago when I learned about them selling my data to recruiters and it being used to assess my likelihood of leaving a job.

Not really right. Anti-surveillance, anti-war, mildly anti-consumerist, mildly pro-immigration, mildly anti-religion, anti-nationalism, anti-monopoly, anti-drug-war, anti-1% Right-wing politicians cam…

Okay, but then they should stay 10 miles away from the word "progressive" (or any form thereof). That word now has unshakeable connotations that are incredibly divisive among tech workers.

You're wrong on two accounts. You want a low p-value, the lower the p-value the stronger the evidence. A p-value is cutoff traditionally at .05 (1 in 20), and if it's p < .05 you can rej…

Well the other half of the problem is that I think most companies are so disorganized that even if an engineer does great work the company might not know within a year. They may look at tickets comple…

I don't know what to make of this. Looks like a potential headache. As an engineer in an interview, we never get told what we're being scored on in advance (naming, speed, coming up with won…

That's a great list in theory, but what would it really mean? - Pull-request-to-deploy is simply a latency, not a throughput factor, and may or may not correspond to business value. - Number of d…

>>> Few people use technologies just to play with them when something serious is on stake (or so I hope). I wish that were true. For example, I bet the actual number is < 10% of people who…
