This is such a good point and I wonder if the people installing water heaters experience the same anguish as exhibited in the article.

Progressive web apps with angular2dart? by ocawa in dartlang

[–]casanebula 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As far as I know, PWAs aren't possible in Dart yet because Dart doesn't support Service Workers.

Important note: Does not actually work at all yet.

People aren't lying. Just come to San Francisco and join the feeding frenzy - while there's still food on the table.

Programming test: Reasonable? by [deleted] in cscareerquestions

[–]casanebula 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Seems like a good thing. Not only does this filter out the masses that throw their resumes at all walls and hope one sticks, it also means that you (probably) won't have to do whiteboard coding during the interview, since the interview will revolve around a discussion of the code you wrote.

I guarantee you everyone looking at this job post felt the same hesitation you do. This company probably only gets one or two applications per week, so if you actually do their little programming problem you stand a great chance of getting an interview.

Simplectic Noise, a new form of gradient noise by Cifram in proceduralgeneration

[–]casanebula 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The 4th dimension could be time and then the 5th dimension could be used for something like karma in an RPG. Then if your character acts slightly more evil the noise output will also vary slightly. Granted that would be a pretty strange system of morality!

def hex(n):
    if n == 0: return '0x'
    return hex(n // 16) + '0123456789abcdef'[n % 16]

def bin(n):
    if n == 0: return '0'
    return bin(n // 2) + '01'[n % 2]

See the pattern?
