EPTI rarely do it but that's the "shortcut" or whatever

Thread Rules 1. This is not a "do my homework for me" thread. If you have specific questions, ask, but don't post an assignment or homework problem and expect an exact solution. 2. No recruiting for your cockamamie projects (you won't replace facebook with 3 dudes you found on the internet and $20) 3. If you can't articulate why a language is bad, don't start slinging shit about it. Just remember that nothing is worse than making CSS IE6 compatible. 4. Use [code] tags to format code blocks. | ||

Go to system preferences and Mission Control and change those to your preference. Granted the rebind options aren’t amazing | ||

Most HRs don't know enough technically to catch you, so as long as you have common sense, I think you should be fine. | ||

It’s doubly aggravating because I couldn’t get admin/HR jobs for love nor money, and said individuals routinely fuck me through gross incompetence that blows my fucking mind. A personal highlight being told when I came back from a year’s sick leave by the personnel manager that she’d lost all my notes and stuff and I’d have to submit evidence, have a discussion about my illness etc all over again. | ||

Generally speaking, HR is not a barrier regarding the technical competence of candidates in North America. HR makes up BS reasons not to hire perfectly good people. Its great for me. I'm a hired gun. When a company's hiring process screws up ... I'm part of the rescue squad. Also, HR are filled with "double agents" who pretend to be the workers friends while building a case against them. They dig up stuff they can use against you five years later. I get work from BA's, project managers , and CIO for whom I've worked over the past ten years. I work directly with them so they see directly what I am accomplishing. No one in HR ever sees what I am doing or ever calls me up when they need help rescuing a software project that is in trouble.

I still keep in touch with Business Analysts I worked with ten years ago. They have been promoted to higher positions and they keep feeding me work. | ||

I've done entry level interviews and we did FizzBuzz and some other very basic problems. I would say it's more of a do this so I know I'm not wasting my time talking to you than an actual exercise. If you can't write fizzbuzz in 5 minutes then I can end the interview and move on with real work. I'd say at least half the applicants can't write it so this saves me a lot of time. A lot of people get the mod 15 part wrong the first time by having the logic in an if/else after the mod 3 so it never executes, but seeing how you react to it being wrong and your ability to talk through debugging is often more interesting than the candidate doing it correctly. | ||

I remmber that cousin of mine got similiar question in his C++ interview. And he went with some answer involving modulo, then he was asked to find other one and afterwards another. The way he described it to me it was obvious that interviewer was looking for a very specific solution to the problem. I have interviewed at places like that. It is a good signal to not work there in my opinion. I've had someone implement FizzBuzz with a LinkedList before and he was not hired, but unless your solution is completely degenerate i don't care how you do it. It is more about process and you being able to talk about your thought process. The people who want a specific solution have no idea what they're doing and you don't want to work there. If you're a principal engineer or an architect or some other high level design position I can understand that level of detail, but if you're expecting a perfect solution from an entry or junior level resource... | ||

I’m unsure as per real industry, have an interview on Thursday for a summer job/my third year school placement based on a problem set which was relatively similar to Fizzbuzz now you folks mention it. Got quite lucky, friend got a trickier one by far. It seems the kind of thing useful when sifting through novices for placements attached to colleges and see who can just regurgitate other’s code vs those with at least some basic problem-solving abilities. Beyond that kind of gig I can’t see it being useful as an interview question for competent programmers, but perhaps it helps to weed out the truly incompetent? | ||

Edit: BTW, this guy is nuts. In another of his talks he's using functional stuff in JavaScript to explain object orientation in languages from the 60's (Algol et al) to C++ developers. My mind exploded. | ||

I have an excel spreadsheet that I use to track my debt. I have it set up to add the column up and when I add a month I can just drag the cell over and it puts the sum equation under the new column. What I want to do is put a cell under that takes the sum above and subtracts it from the cell to its left. The equation is obviously easy enough but I can't just drag it over like I do with the sum when I add a new month. What am I missing? Thanks for any help and sorry it's not a more interesting problem like you all normally discuss :D | ||
