ABC: Always Be Coding — Tech Talk

Are you a good engineering candidate? How are you measuring yourself? How many companies have you interviewed at? What is your onsite-interview to offer ratio? Try the following formula (that I’ve totally made up in a vacuum and ultimately means nothing): # x = number of companies interviewed with onsite# y = number of offers receivedvalue = 100 * log(x) * y / x If your value is < 90, you should read this.

(It’s surprising how few things the free-love people can find to agree on with the banana-rights people.) As chief programmer of the Festival Cruise programming staff, you’ve got to decide if you can deliver a Fortran compiler from scratch in seven days. Can you do it? “Well, I suppose, it depends,” you say. On what? “Um, will my team be able to use UML-generating tools?” Does that really matter? “I guess not.” OK, so, what does it depend on? “Will we have 19 inch monitors? Again, does this matter? “I guess not. Right. “Who are they?” The Reality of Developer's Life. In this post I am going to try to illustrate in a funny way the reality of developer’s life.

Memory integrity is one feature of core isolation which regularly verifies the integrity of the code running those core processes in an attempt to prevent any attacks from altering them. We recommend that you leave this setting on, if your system supports it. " Cool. Be aware: Do be conscious of each driver and what it does and consider what functionality - if any - you'll be losing if you remove them. Ok, ready?
