@lxmcf what are your interests?

It would have been great if you walked after the "are you sure?" question without saying a word.

Make sure you download lots of different versions of Linux as isos. Also try isos from different countries.

Reset branch to prior commit. Force push to head.

For the longest time I used a unicomp. It started having issues last year. It probably can be repaired but I bought a vortex race keyboard as a quieter replacement.

I now really like cherry my clear switches.

I actually really want to make a dactyl but I am afraid it will fuck up my muscle memory.

I recommend postgresql for anything other than primary key lookups.

PK lookups in mysql are faster because tables are built as a part of the PK index.

MySQL can join tables in only one manner: block nested loops.

Postgresql can do nested loops, hash joins and sort merge joins.

Because in pg tables are stored as heaps, pg can also perform sequential scans which are faster to process if you need to read the majority of the table.

Oh, and don't start me on query analysis. PG is miles ahead. There is no 'explain analyze' in MySQL.

@linuxxx some software it's worth paying for.

It's a bullshit question that gets asked by inexperienced interviewers.

I think that the best way to answer it is to deflect the question: I think that whatever answer I give you will never be completely honest, so I think I would like us to just move on to your next question.

About the only reason why anybody would want to ask this is to see how you would respond to this, not expecting honesty, but rather how you can wiggle out of uncomfortable questions. What can have some value... If you are going into management.

Also, on the SQL error. Putting that in an intelligent ide would have revealed the problem in 5 seconds. Try a jetbrains product

@linuxxx they are not the same though. Maria db has better query planning and execution engine. Though they both suck compared to postgresql.

At least he is now writing new bugs

Conflicting maven dependencies! SVN tree conflicts! Cross branch merging of code refactoring changes! Possible race conditions!

Supernova.

Call him out on it. Ask him to open the source code and see if it is java

Hey, you are a doctor, right?
Yeah.
Can you make my dick longer with 3 inches?
No
Then you are not a good doctor.

Well, apparently you can find masochists here too.

@rui725 possible. Or they hate to give rejections.

Been there done that. My reaction has always been, why am I so fucking stupid.

@Nawap in a previous place that I worked a dude quit on the same day as one of his direct reports.

С учебници нищо не се научава в този занаят. И не защото учебника учи идиотски неща.

Nice idea, you are about 30 years too late. It has been done and it has been perfected.

What you are referring to is called high frequency trading. The bigger players in the space have been in this game for a long time. Heck, the game is done at such a scale, that the bigger players rent space in the exchanges in order to minimize the network latencies of longer cables.

You probably can't beat them. Otherwise you could waltz in Goldman, show them your model and pocket a several MM for letting them use it - with no effort on your part.

@AnonyOps I would spend some time figuring out how to break the drive's encryption.

It is not impossible because it is probably encrypted with a symmetric key (some version of AES). And you may know a part of it. And because there are parts of the disk which have predictable sequences of bits.

To be fair, the fault is also in management. We should have been more on the ball. That said, I remember that I used to pester my managers when I get bored.

Regarding expectations: we set those last week. To be fair I have seen him now much more engaged. I am just pissed at the time lost.

@JoshBent He came in through a friend of the CEO. Didn't go through the regular recruitment (interview) process.

@BindView h1b is a us work visa

@BindView FT - full time (salaried, employee).

I also suffer from impostor syndrome. And I have been working as a software engineer and now architect for a while.

I think that after a while you realize that you don't completely suck at everything.

You still suck, just not equally at everything.

And yeah, getting promoted is anti this feeling.

You don't give source code until you get paid.

If you are a Java developer why not use Java?

@DeveloperACE @ddephor if the building is on fire might as well --force

I usually use breakpoints. It's a but faster than typing all of that crap.

Why not both?
