Well if you expect someone to write syntactically correct code in whatever language on a whiteboard, then yeah I think that's lame. A little bit of pseudo code though I don't see any problem with. Especially if the job may require it from time to time. I mean honestly, I think a lot of IT...

Brain teasers are ok sometimes. I hope no one actually takes them as a serious gauge of skill, but they can shed some light on how a person reasons through things. A lot of companies though thought they could just copycat Google and Microsoft by adding in brain teasers without actually...

Well trick questions are pretty stupid. I also hate it when people ask you what you think is the best way to do X, and the whole time you are trying to say how you would do it they interject with questions and try to lead you down the path of how they would they would do it. That's actually...

I have a mandolin and that's fun to play sometimes. But I just can't get into the ukulele and I pretty much hate everything about them.

I don't think unraveling a for loop is a terrible question to see if someone grasps the logic behind it. I've unfortunately worked with a lot of people who've got 10-20 years of experience as "engineers" but somehow don't really understand shit about computers. They know how to build things one...

After 26 months finally got that TS/SCI renewed. Feels good that I can bail if needed when my contract is rebid in January.

I don't see the point of an IDE for an interpreted language really. Powershell tried to get fancy with their ISE and running scripts in the debug console didn't always have the same behavior as they did when you ran them in production. To me it's just way easier to use my favorite text editor...

My mother and father in-law have one of those old Ronco rotisseries, I think that's actually the best way to cook a turkey without wrecking the breast. The downside is that you get almost no juice for the gravy.

My family always did a ham and a turkey. I hate ham though. Honestly my favorite part about turkey is not eating it hot out of the oven - well aside from maybe the drumsticks. I like turkey sandwiches and then taking the turkey carcass and making turkey soup. God damn is turkey soup good.

LinkedIn and Glassdoor are my main research tools. Definitely must haves when looking for work. Clearancejobs is probably still the best for cleared work though.

Guess it depends on what you are coding. I think IDEs are overkill for banging out scripts or editing confs which is probably what most hardcore VIers are doing. I think CVS has been around since the 80's. Before that they probably had internal tools or in a lot cases they just had like 2...

My high school girlfriend did a lot of modeling when she was a kid (catalog ads and shit like that). She had very fond memories of it, but she also was the type who would be into that sort of thing. Her mom was real bad with money and had drug and gambling problems, so she got absolutely nothing...

Software development is a huge space too. The dudes plugging away on LOB C# applications probably aren't making much use of their CS degrees (if they have them). Where as those working on device drivers or proprietary algorithms probably make a bit more use of it. Until quantum computing changes...

Disabling unused ports will do nothing to improve signal or bandwidth or anything like that. When they say strengthen, they probably mean "more secure." It's a good security practice to disable any ports you don't use so people don't just plug something into it and have access to your...

Yeah that's a bummer when they get too focused on textbook questions to judge your knowledge. Though depending on how they worded the questions they may have been looking for CHGRP/CHOWN and not CHMOD. I've been on both sides where people I know could do the job have been passed up because they...

This aint the playerauctions days. All you have to do is "donate" to a streamer and join the run for free.

I thought Blizzard gave the okay to do run selling for gold? If people are paying real cash, well I guess that's kinda hard to prove unless they were dumb enough to say it over blizz channels.

Yeah that's what I was trying to convey in my other post. It's not just a normal erection, it's a steel tower. But for me it goes away when I pee or if I try to make use of it without peeing I literally get no other feeling than having to piss really bad but it does last.

My son of course wants a tablet that can play fortnite.... Yeah fuck that. Only ones that can even do it it seems are galaxy tabs and they are 500. Just going to buy him a switch instead and we'll both get enjoyment from it :).

Slightly unrelated... but I feel like I get mega boners when I have to pee really bad in the morning but then when I pee they go away. One time I tried to bang my wife with it before going pee and even though it was awesome for her, I just felt like I had to pee really fucking bad the whole time.

I mean, I could see it being useful as part of a panel of hormones / prehormones. I was just trying to point out that I had read an article that said going out to walmart and buying a bottle of DHEA and throwing it down with your multivitamin each morning isn't going to have much of an effect on...

Well that is the theory behind it yes, but from I read Prasterone - Wikipedia (I read an actual journal somewhere years ago, but linking wikipedia cause I'm lazy) it doesn't actually affect testosterone in men much if at all.

Discrete mathematics are definitely important to computer science. A lot of people really enjoy lambda calculus and it's CS derivatives (anonymous functions and all that) but I don't see it getting used much in the professional world. Maybe in R&D departments. I have a lowly CIS degree so I took...

I thought I read, and I'm too lazy to source it at the moment, that DHEA was all but worthless in men and has some benefit for women under certain conditions. I was kinda half joking before, but abstaining for even a week will probably help out quite a bit. I'd also be willing to bet based on...

Don't get me wrong, they are worth the extra effort. Not having to tune your guitar until you change string again is great. I just remember being in my first band and upgrading from my strat to an ibanez RG270. I loved that Ibanez until I tried to change the strings. I made all of the classic...

All the sugar is going to your dick.

Yeah it can be a real pain, even if you manage to pull off changing the strings and get the height just right you still have to tune it and get it locked with your fine tuners at the center position. I consider myself relatively seasoned and it still can take me close to an hour sometimes to...

I don't have much experience with Jackson's. I'm actually a schecter guy myself, but if he likes it that's the most important thing. Id recommend getting a nice little set of tools for maintaining the Floyd rose. They can be finicky but once you learn how to maintain them they are awesome.

This isn't the mathematician thread. I also don't see spreadsheets getting much mention either...

go for a used line6 spider 3. Should easily be able to get it for $100 and it will give him lots of sounds to experiment with.

I personally think the best bang for the buck in the <400 range (for electric anyway) are ibanez guitars.

It depends. You can either leave the domain with godaddy, and just set the nameserver to your new hosting provider or you can actually transfer it to a new registrar - which most hosting providers are also. The first option takes only a few minutes, the latter a few days or so. I personally...

Give her the two finger special until your dick works again.

Just abstain (no sex or jerking off) for like a month. It's like hitting the reset button.

Cheaper? I paid more pretty much every month with Digital Ocean than I do with dreamhost. Never noticed performance being any better either.

I'd call the electric company just to make sure. If it's a real debt collector, you'd want to pay them, since they would have bought the debt from the electric company - which means you no longer owe the electric company. If it's just some hokey shit to scare you into paying, then it doesn't...

You can get quality shared hosting for a decent price. VPS are nice for when you need OS access and what not, but if you are just installing a wordpress site and doing medium traffic I wouldn't pay the extra money. eskimonorth and dreamhost are two that I can recommend for shared hosting...

I think the leveling changes add some value to first time levelers or people who are looking for that single player experience as a break from end game or whatever. It just kills the replay value for those who want to do end game on multiple classes. Seems to me they could ease that by just...

I don't think anyone who didn't play legion should be turned off of BfA (if they really want to play WoW anyway). It's functional, the story (on alliance anyway) was decent - more entertaining to me than the legion shit - and the dungeons and raids are decent as well. The azerite gear is super...

I make my own tree. Don't really want to spend 40+ hours a week hating what I do. If I wanted to program I'd find a job that lets me program. If Gabriel wants to rollerblade, Gabriel rollerblades.
