Do you mind sharing the name of the book?

Thank you for not calling it a heat map.

Organizations can start by implementing strict wire transfer policies that require multiple authentication factors.

There are several possible reasons why you didn't include any tests in a take home exercise, and they are all bad.

1) You ran out of time to write tests.

This might be the least bad reason. You can probably talk your way out of this by explaining what tests you would have written if you had the time.

2) You don't know how to write tests.

This shows that you have only worked at places the don't do testing and that you haven't taken the initiative to learn about testing on your own.

3) You know how to write tests, but you don't think they are needed.

You could probably tell the interviewer why tests were not important for the particular exercise. But I have never seen a take home exercise that doesn't require a basic algorithm and some tricky conditional business logic. Both of which would benefit from unit tests.

4) The code you wrote isn't testable.

This is probably the worst reason. Everything is in one or two giant functions and you can't inject dependencies for testing without refactoring everything. This will frighten your interviewer.

I just want my sms messages to be correctly ordered by sent/received time again.

Ego-depletion is mentioned, not always by name, in hundreds productivity and focus related articles and books published in the last 5 years or so.

Steve Jobs is often used as an example because he wore the same outfit to work every day, purportedly so he would not have to waste any crucial willpower early in the day on such a trivial task as choosing what to wear.

Debouncing is a pattern used in UI software development. Here’s an implementation.

I never would have guessed that debouncing was first used to tame physical keys bouncing on contacts.

My geekbench CPU scores (single-core 1458, multi-core 2480) show that my 6s has been throttled but honestly I hadn't noticed a slowdown.

In which apps would I notice a significant difference if I replace my battery?

If Safari page load speeds increased I would be happy, but I assume that is more influenced by bandwidth and mobile optimization.

I ctrl-f for 'Snoop Dogg'.

It's a question journalists like to ask themselves at the end of ever year.

This sentence has had a typo for 21 years.

Does anyone know what the fish oil additive is used for?

I was recently researching how Trader Joe's coffee is so inexpensive and found some reviews noting a "fish sauce" flavor and a "fishy" flavor in two TJs coffee products.

The problem is that many interviewers don't know how to suss out a good engineer. So they just ask questions that Google and Amazon ask. And that's why you spend half of your interview pre-optimizing contrived algorithms down to O(n) when the probability of the startup ever running code at scale is very small.

Never trust HR.

I suspect Warren Buffet may have pushed for Stumpf's resignation/termination, as well as other damage control measures. This is a similar situation to the Solomon scandal, although Buffet has a smaller stake in WFC.

My assumption is that quotes are needed for keys with spaces.

    > x = {}
    > x["foo bar"] = 1
    > x
    { 'foo bar': 1 }

Is there a 2D view option for the people that actually have to discuss and implement the isometric marketecture diagrams created by this tool?

This will help Windows users who have filesystem and zip compression issues with deeply nested dependency trees.

New title: Meatspace Engineer. Problem solved.

Does the opposite kind of user exist? Has anyone ever met a fanatical JIRA lover?

In my experience there are only people that tolerate JIRA on one side of the spectrum and a bunch of people that hate JIRA on the other side.

It's not using pipes, but you can refactor the example with this Python list comprehension.

    def filter_authors(authors, company):
        return [author['twitter_handle'] for author in authors if author['company'] == company and author['twitter_handle']]

You can do other SQL-like operations with list comprehensions too.

The Corrections Corporation of America noted this as a risk factor in their 2011 10-K filing.

"The demand for our facilities and services could be adversely affected by the relaxation of enforcement efforts, leniency in conviction or parole standards and sentencing practices or through the decriminalization of certain activities that are currently proscribed by criminal laws."

Customers/users abandoning a product when they learn it is for sale.

Nice work. I use this automator for pretty printing JSON.

  import json
  import sys

  text = sys.stdin.read()
  try:
      print json.dumps(json.loads(text), sort_keys=False, indent=4)
  except Exception as e:
      print e

I clicked through to a few of your other recommended posts and ended up emailing myself a bunch of links to read later. I particularly enjoyed 'Promises Are Not Optional' (http://firstdoit.com/promises-are-not-optional/)

You have a talent for clearly explaining complex abstractions. Nice work!

One could create a similar page to represent people who have purchased HP multifunction inkjet printers.

If Snowden comes back to the US and is imprisoned for a few years it will be on his own terms.

It's not the kind of company where managers or departments hate each other, and use their roles to conduct political warfare.

Political warfare isn't always obvious to a newcomer with several months on the job.
