I liked it and got a 7 space 4. Is this the max score? How can I know? It wants me to login for a reveal… which is unfortunately where I bounced. Maybe I would sign up after a fews days if I got hooked because I found it really annoying whe

You mean the full internet experience in one window thing like the aol browser? I’m pretty sure I used to use it, light blue thing and hotmail a more seemless integration?

Mildly visible even in London. Better with camera phone but definitely just visible after you let your eyes adjust

I can imagine that if we ever reach a point where the interviewers are prepped with the useless corporate answers to these reversed interview questions, it means we’ve done a great job in pushing to get the right information and gets right

From what I’ve read on Wikipedia, mixxx apparently uses the xwax source code. As does PiDeck. It would be really interesting to know what else uses it.

Xwax is amazing. But what was more amazing to me was that the magic external box with Final Scratch was actually just a sound card and the rest was all software. Dunno if I am over simplifying but it was amazing to see that the time coded r

This is quite good advice, I feel the “we have to do this anyway” line is more like… “so we might as well make it easy for ourselves”… eg write code that works, you self tested it through tests and manual if needed, so the reviewer doesn’t

That reminds of codebases littered with Todos… where I like to Yoda it… do or do not, there is no todo.

Ah that makes sense now. I nearly said it was like excalidraw, which is really nice for architecture diagrams more than for ui/ux I find.

Perhaps more like Tekton, which was like a classier crisper comic sans

Same here. Never even thought of the fridge or what cold peanut butter would be like. I just can’t imagine it and have never needed to. Weird. In other contexts too I’ve never experienced it. Work breakfasts, hotels, I really can’t ever rec

Aaaah, remove and the re-add (maybe) makes a bit more sense.. So if it is not in the list you just add it, right? Actually is that right? Won’t the list fill up to the max again at some point like this? So if so, I add Bernardo. Now the ver

I had the same problem with the same paragraph and still don’t quite get it. Unfortunately I struggle to follow the detailed explanation you gave… since you seem to understand it… can you confirm that they really do mean to throw away the w

In my back garden in london initially it felt like maybe I was just seeing remnants of having looked at a lightbulb and then looking at the sky. After a bit of eyes adjusting the pinks were very clear and the white streaks like rays of ligh

Until you trust every part of the mock behaves the same as every part of the real database you use… most often the db is your boundary with nothing further downstream. At that point it really is just a faster disposable database, and totall

I feel there is something missing in this story… what was implied by your email about cancelling your flight home the agreement to only log 40 hours? Sounds like you were just saying “affirmative”… what is the stunt he thinks you were pulli

I was once told mdd was mortgage driven development. Make code as confusing as hell so to they keep you on and you can keep paying your mortgage.

I love this, my dissertation at uni was on the Enigma machine and I built a configurable one in software (Java) and it was fascinating to me that once you matched the spec of the real machine you got matching letter for letter encryption an

Oh, cool idea, this should be on the (b)lockchain!

This is word for word what I was about to write. Totally agree as I had a very puzzled face when that option didn’t appear in the list. And even more puzzled when (what I thought was the throwaway flippant idea of) ‘cloning the repo into an

Loving the semi confusing retro control buttons, not dissimilar to my first ever stack CD player. Sitting there playing with the buttons that are doing things in certain situations and you’re still not quite sure what it is doing but you li

I love those moments. Your brain has worked on it in the background like a ‘bombe’ machine cracking the day’s enigma code. And suddenly “ding… the days code is in!”

Precisely, although I’ll come clean and didn’t know about that exact triangulation exploit mentioned, just the fact that nicely organised historical data of all actions is there somewhere to be found. Especially if this type of software sta

Omg, snap! I didn’t do it again after that. Also for the idea mentioned about taking photos. No camera phones back when I was doing this and it was actually in Japan that I bought my first proper digital camera, the Canon Ixus 3 I think iir
