For crying out loud, there have been five slashdot articles about Joomla! since the beginning of 2010. I, for one, don't feel that slashdot readers need to be told such details when speaking about industry-leaders in a tech field.
I have a confession to make... sometimes I'll let a story float down the page without reading it....
But we have this thing called the Internet [wikipedia.org] which means it is no longer necessary to put data centers anywhere near the customers or engineers.
Gee that's sure Interesting but sometimes physical access to a server is cheaper, or is part of the business model, or is required by law. At the last place I worked, one major customer demanded they administer some servers inside a locked cage to protect sensitive information on hard drives.
It wasn't "imagined" bias. The AC made a revealing statement using a a dog-whistle phrase no less. Normal people don't care about the change in Al Gore's pocket not being used to hire statisticians, and if they do, they're probably wondering why he didn't spend any coins on statistical analysis of the 2000 election.
I have very limited memories... after so many years in a coma, upon regaining consciousness they had to teach me once again to speak, to walk, to eat, to log into my ICQ account.... unfortunately I never made a full recovery.
Like figuring out whether the diabetes is comorbid with other mental illnesses that might be treatable? Or related to health problems seen among other groups too that may be dealing with them more or maybe less successively than people in the Tribes?
Take government healthcare, if it becomes expensive treating people for a particular preventable condition you can guarantee that the action that causes the problem will be banned.
Exactly- if my kids would rather have measles mumps and rubella than autism, it's my right to provide for them. [Note: I'd better mention that vaccinations don't cause autism, because someone out there is going to print out a Slashdot post and show it triumphantly to their doctor.]
I am glad, though, that this satellite-ticketing thing would not be allowed in the United States. We have a Third Amendment that prevents quartering of British soldiers! Probably meaning cops too. Frankly I'd rather have the cops stay overnight for a party than have them watch me travel down quiet deserted streets. That would be an unconstitutional violation of my freedom.
Oh give me a home
Where the buffalo roam
And the deer and the antelope play
Where seldom is heard
A discouraging word
And the skies are not raining fireballs
The IT guy at my last company applied at Google. (I knew him for 8 years; they would have done well to hire him.) I forget the details, but the question he got asked was something like, how could you find a file on some filesystem as fast as possible? (That wasn't it, precisely.)
Whatever it was, he had the right answer. "I'd use the find command."
That wasn't what they wanted. They were trying to get him to write some clever shell script that would construct a tree index of letters or something fancy like that. But he kept saying, "It'll take take forever to do stuff like this, why would you waste your time when find is just fast enough?" So the guy keeps pressing him, "ok, say you get an input file that's gigabytes long, and marketing wants the files as fast as possible, blah blah blah" but he kept answering, "use the find command". Really, marketing doesn't want to sit around waiting for you to write algorithms, so that was the right answer. I think the guy got him to write a shell script parsing each line and invoking find on it, but that was it.
And people wonders why so few startups are going on that may produce new jobs.
I've been to several startups in the past year that exist solely for compliance purposes. They'll have only a few customers, all large corporations. Typically they'll come up with some little scheme like building physical "appliances" that clients plug in to their internal network and voila all this stupid traffic is being logged and kept on record and emails are flying out to customers a mile a minute. On average these outfits hire a couple dozen people. Very dull jobs but they pay well.
I knew someone was going to find an ad for an unfilled position at Google (entry level at that) and then declare that anyone who lives on the peninsula must be unemployable.
Google initially sets you up with a 20 minute phone screen interview where they ask you puzzle questions over the phone. I called last year and got all the puzzle questions that the dude asked, except for some algorithmic one about enumerating collinear points in 3D. I had only found the shitty O(N^2) solution before the phone call ended and as per Google policy I got screened out for that type of position. ("Should your interests or skillset change and you want to pursue a different position here at Google..." Maybe I'll talk to one of the cafeteria chefs, if they're still there.)
What's really annoying is that nobody around here can come up with good interview questions- i.e. technical questions relating to the position. They all ask stupid puzzles instead. The algorithmic ones have easy O(N^2) solutions, and O(N) solutions that make you think a bit. But often some comp sci researcher once wrote some paper on a way to do it O(log N), so of the six applicants (on average) who apply for the position, you have to be the guy who comes up with that one. Basically to get a job you have to study the puzzles. Although I've occasionally seen the same stupid puzzle surface in different interviews, I refuse to study puzzles.
and if I recall correctly, the woman was a drug addict who died because she stole her father's Porsche and proceeded to drive it in a very reckless manner.
Why didn't you import static? The AM_PM wouldn't need the Calendar in front.
When I write shit like this I'm thinking about the objects, not what the syntax looks like. I agree that in Java once you look at what you wrote, it looks like a steaming load, but it's easier to read than certain dynamic languages I've seen where the syntax is nice and short but you have to infer half that crap anyway.

I'd rather see them pump the sticky rice down an oil well to find out if it works better than duct tape.

Although there's plenty of "knowledge economy" in SF, it's ultra-sprawl Silicon Valley that's actually where the heart of the action is.
Members in and around Santa Clara, California are currently renting these titles much more than other Netflix members.
That's in the heart of the action... what movies do your neighbors rent?

Because the customers are in Silicon Valley.

This is also somewhat offtopic but I was wondering if anyone out there has seen my red stapler?
I have very limited memories... after so many years in a coma, upon regaining consciousness they had to teach me once again to speak, to walk, to eat, to log into my ICQ account.... unfortunately I never made a full recovery.
I have my own enumeration constant so they can handle my account as a special case- with that 90% of the code that runs only 10% of the time.
I'll admit I haven't RTFA.

I truly own my AAPL shares! They opened 6% over yesterday's close. I thought I was hallucinating this morning.
Apple released a quarterly earnings report showing that they sold 8.75 million of those horrible phones when 7 million had been projected.
what the fuck is SEC going to do about fake science papers?
One might just as well ask WTF the Chinese scientific community is going to do about Wall Street fraud.
My own opinion is that denying one's desire for safety and freedom is akin to preventing asexual budding of new nerds off one's back.
Well of course. A few years ago we were all at work. Now you send a few resumes each morning and menage the rest of the day.

No, my obvious conclusion is that you're such a pussy you're posting from your sockpuppet account.

That's not what you said when I spoke to you last week.
If anyone wants a good Java programmer in the Bay Area email MillionthMonkey at gmail...

Excuse me, how is that relevant?
