Good point. But I would like to know other side of the story too, not just from the CEO. Although, while I'm not an expert on France's labor laws, I agree laws in most EU countries are on the side of employees. But that doesn'

This made me think: * Apple, Google, Microsoft et al. have many foreign workers (green card, H-2B, or maybe L1 visa) and it is easier for american citizens to move/work outside of US than foreigners to get work visa in US. So the quest

I know it's fun to hack things together but wouldn't a smartphone with evernote be a better solution? You can use phone's speech to text feature and access your list anywhere online or offline.

I wonder why they didn't allow to work on network folders. It looks like all files must be local, otherwise it can open the folder and list files in sidebar but can not open individual files.

One thing is not clear: What happens if I want some people (friends of friends etc) find me on facebook but they or others don't see my information on their hello app when I called / miscalled them? Would there be an opt-out?

One possible downside of this technique would be searching in previous "pages" would be difficult / impossible. Since element is removed once its out of view port, browsers' search function can not find given text. Altho

Have you asked them why they are started to writing a code in first place? Maybe, since it's a programming interview, they thought you are trying to measure their theoretical knowledge than their practical day to day knowledge. You sho

Nice work. But I wonder how they handle table alterations, I couldn't see they mentioned on the docs. Is it possible at all? If it is, since pg_shard doesn't support transactions, what if alteration fails ?
