"trope of programmers being low IQ", I've never heard of this, but then maybe I'm just another low IQ programmer

We have a job that runs https://pitest.org/, analyse the report and tweak the codebase as per the results. Not sure it's ever found a bug that's likely to happen in prod but definitely gives us a confidence boost

I think at either extreme its probably true. I don't spend my time signaling on linked in, but I do like to have a "diverse" team. Things just feel more even when you aren't surrounded by the same types, and there is space in that for white people with right wing views

Unwoke candidate: "I just want to follow orders"

I wasn't aware all the other job boards were for woke people

Been that way for at least 5 years https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10190846

There's a few articles in the old comments that explains it's use case a little

Not sure why, but on my phone it's barely readable.

Why not just have white text on a white background? No idea what's in the article

Same, I think it provides some UI components over some common dependencies/services/infrastructure for Java apps but still after reading the site and repo I wouldnt be surprised to learn I'm completely wrong

Netbeans was better/easier to use than Eclipse for a long time in my opinion (100% accept that isn't worth a whole lot). I vaguely remember that in about 2010/2011 trying to use the maven and git plugins for eclipse together and hitting a lot of errors. Netbeans wasn't perfect but it worked AND used the system installations of git/mvn. Also, Ive never understood why Eclipse insists (at least last time I used it) on importing files/directories into some sort of workspace decoupling the files you see in the IDE from those on the disk.

Switched to jetbrains IDEs now though ha

I dont know if I can "recommend" this as we are just starting out with it, but have a look at reflect.io

I really hope this company survives/thrives in spite of brexit, I havent seen much about the relationship with ESA recently but from memory its quite separate from the EU.

Yeah 1000s of them, all organised into hierarchical subject based folders. Very useful to me

Ben Rady's Serverless Single Page Apps is one I've enjoyed recently, maybe not something I'll use at work anytime soon though.

Synoptica | Guildford, UK | Fulltime, ONSITE | Front End Developer & Full Stack Developer

Our mission is to improve and automate research carried out on companies. We’re driven by a belief that technology can offer deeper and smarter insights into business that will change the way our clients approach their sales and investment decisions.

We do use Java 8 a lot in the back but I promise there is no JEE in sight. The front end role will come with a lot of autonomy for the successful candidate to choose the tools/frameworks used.

Interview process: 15 minute Skype/face to face preliminary chat, followed by a more formal interview of around 15 minutes chat and 30 minute technical assessment.

We'd also love to hear from any data scientists in the Durham area

and tea of course

its nice when a tech article ends with a song

In addition to the stuff you mentioned, for my mother in law I:

removed her user's admin privileges

install flashblock - one of the ones where you have to click on the video to make it run

spent a long time explaining that you will never be chosen to win something, MS support never rings you to tell you have a virus, if something takes over the whole screen and tells you anything suspicious/implausible to press alt+f4

convinced her free music isnt worth the risk of downloading something that trashes the machine. installed spotify

we had an awful time with logentries: "live" mode never working, the search facility is bizarre, over charging us, terrible UX. been with LogDNA for about 2 months and we are quite happy with it

Maybe there is a closed account sub-resource? :)

The article mentions an excellent example of gun control reducing crime (Australia http://edition.cnn.com/2015/06/19/world/us-australia-gun-con... ). UK has way less murders: http://www.nationmaster.com/country-info/compare/United-King...

Oh, that Bible that god wrote. Right.

"Demand great"

1) by setting aside a little time, unless a deadline is looming.

2) 5-10 mins of distraction to 50-55 mins of work (~ish)

3) bookmarks folder (set of folders specific to lang: e.g Java/Ruby/Scale, tools, architecture/infrastructure, project specific folders (i.e one project needs NLP tech so it collects in a relevant folder), math, and finally "interesting" for stuff I pretend I will need to refer back to

4) absolutely not

Sometimes people see the word "Guildford" and swell with rage. Its almost understandable https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T3_EYVznn1A.

Given how expensive rent is in Guildford it made more financial sense just to try keep it from freezing using the weird timer things that came with the boilers and wear lots of clothes. Yeah, they were all old fashioned single paned/sash window/broken-glass-with-holes type places so getting past 15 degrees in winter was impossible.

3 of the houses I rented during my time as a student (2006-2010) had no thermostat. They weren't even that bad as houses go, this was in central Guildford and all of them were probably quite valuable but at the same time old. 1 even had a fairly modern combi-boiler but whoever put it in was obviously like "thermostat? who the hell wants one of them"

Sounds like 18 year old me. If I met that me, I'd probably throttle that me whilst yelling "put that credit card away and get a job" and such. But if successful I guess that would cause a paradox and so it isn't likely to happen.
