Your apparent inability to understand simple variations in style may well be a symptom of the world's literacy problem.
I can only assume that I'd you saw a headline with the term "oil crisis, " you would somehow assume it meant that there was too much oil..
I quite like 3 spaces. It messes with all sorts of peoples' heads.
My tab stops are set to a sequence of prime numbers.
Sounds to me like clinical depression. This is just the specific way it manifested.
Pretty and shiny sells. Usability apparently doesn't.
Anyone who works in business software sales can tell you this.
Come on guys, with a name like Red Flag News, it must be totally legit...
Is programming really this hard? Am I some sort of supergenius? My actual experience with PHP can't be more than a couple man-month, but this is a trivial task. I would have to look up the functions online though, which feels like cheating.
It's okay. He'll get the note back from the teller.
If they are so pedantic, why are the even allowed around children?
Filed under: based on a true story
So there are fields that contain multiple, comma separated values? Ingenious.
Peel, cut them into fairly thick chunks and shove them in a hot oven with some oil.
You mean I've been shoving them in the wrong place this whole time?
So the MFT is a b-tree. That explains why is so easily corrupted.
Doesn't NTFS use a radically different directory structure than FAT?
I do know that recovering and/or repairing a corrupted file system is far easier with FAT than with NTFS.
Also, FAT won't give you weird permission headaches.
This all just sounds like another day at the office to me.
BTW, welcome to the exciting world of UPS integration.
Obviously the default date should be January 1st, 4713 BC. After all it's not rocket science (otherwise it would be (November 17, 1858).
I do realize the former may lead to numbers so large that some might consider them astronomical.
I think they are trying the "throw everything at the wall and see what sticks" strategy right now o_O
It seems to have worked for IBM.
Do they have manuals for the programming language and environment you ate using?
When I started programming there was no Google or Internet, but we still managed to write code.
There is no such thing as trivial time-related code.
This particular problem is only tangentially time related, in that the hands of an analog clock are a ubiquitous example of an angular system.
For an actual time and/or date problem, I would hope the candidate would ask what language and/or library functions are available. IMO, using existing standardized cider rather than rolling your own, is a clear delineation between a novice and seasoned coffee.
Step 1: person stands up
Step 2: person turns around
Step 3: person realizes the exit is on the other side of the meeting table
Step 4: person continues turning around until they have completed a full revolution
Step 5: person jumps over table
Step 6: person leaves room through giant wall hole next to door
Not too dissimilar from the candidates approach I the original post, bringing this thread full circle.
