The Japanese language actually does have an idiom for "in the red". It's written as 赤字, which literally means "red letter" or "red text". The opposite is 黒字, or "black letter" / "black

I learned Dvorak in high school and was proficient in it after a couple weeks. In addition to actual practice, I found it helpful to just practice mentally during downtime. I used Dvorak exclusively and lost the ability to type on qwerty ke

I used to use a project called now on npm that was abandoned a few years ago ( https://github.com/Flotype/now ). I was curious how this new project was using the same name on npm as the previous now that I had used. Look

I think the branching factor is somewhat higher given that the order of actions makes a big difference. Also remember that when playing a card you have to choose where to place it, which can multiply the branching factor by up to 7. If both

I think simply not using Safari will mitigate most of the impact for most users on OSX.

The whole paragraph can be translated like this: "I didn't really think I'd be able to write this [program], but somehow I was able too. Ruby is scary, isn't it? I wonder if you could write this in another language?&quot

Good point. Check out https://github.com/scriby/browser-harness-bootstrap-tests for a full example. Browser harness itself is just a conduit between node and a browser - you need to provide the test framework yourself

I'm working on https://github.com/scriby/browser-harness . It's a little different in approach because it doesn't use selenium at all (rather it uses a websocket connection with the browser to control it)

I don't see anything fundamentally wrong with this programming question, except that it might be a little involved for a short interview. The purpose of this question isn't to tell you whether the candidate can program chess board

It would be tough for Fibers to be totally abandoned, as http://www.meteor.com/ relies on it. I don't think it's really needed any code updates recently, as it works on Linux / OS X / Windows and all rec

In response to your #4, check out the stopBindings option. It provides a pretty simple pattern where you can wrap your knockout bound components in a stopBindings, then you don't have to worry about other binds on the page interfering

Japanese is generally more compressed than English. For instance, consider "dragon" vs "龍". The exception is when polite/formal language is being used, in which case it can get more lengthy. Instructions and descriptions would generally use

I don't think the attack as described would work in practice, because the modified javascript file would no longer be valid javascript and would just break the site. I think you'd have to both create a file that passed the hash check and wa

Depends on the flavor of SQL. But also, might not be a totally missing where clause, but just an incomplete one.

This kind of bug can happen when you have code like this in SQL: SELECT @id = id FROM table --Oops, forgot where clause. This selects a "random" row DELETE FROM table_2 WHERE id = @id

This problem was solved in SQL 2005. The solution in SQL 2000 was pretty terrible. You had to select from the start of the table to the end of the current page, reverse it, take a top of the page size, then reverse again.
