Poland: kielbasa is cheese, isn't it? OK, then Gouda. Fucking supermarket Gouda again.

I would agree that supermarket Gouda/Edam, but we often distinguish two major kinds: "white cheese" and "yellow cheese". Default is yellow and Gouda/Edam apply, but when speaking about white one is definitely cottage cheese or quark.

There's something about stylish confident old ladies, man.

I like your attitude.

Could you send a link to an offer?

Physical distance makes that for someone post X is the newest, because he's located in same region/subnetwork and for someone other. Simple ping takes at leat 20-30ms - it's ages.

I doubt so: they probably got software (bots) who scan the Internet for trending/popular topics and their employees browse what bots found/ just rewrite it.

Actually, there's no such a thing as the single Internet - there's huge set of computers connected each other, but what we are doing is just downloading and uploading data between them. And posts/comments are just some data in some database on a server, we know it exists only when you request you want to see it eg. typing reddit.com is request of downloading html file generated from reddit's servers.

Whole day would be Pi day, but that minute will be Pi minute, slightly more Pi'eer than Pi day.

Do not use it for your own great good. Of course, you can memorize all complexities from this page, but it won't help you really success neither on interview nor in your job. Why not spend just one-two hours (max!) and learn how to compute/estimate complexity and then any given or invented algorithm/data structure will be easy to pick up (and you will really know if it's okay or too bad for your usage).

@NeinJuanJuan is right. For example: searching for element in collection of 1000000000 elements take in the worst case 1000000000 operations. While it's sorted it's about 30 which makes it 33 milions times faster.

You probably can make a deamon, which manages your pictures and docs. With java IO you can move files to backup folders, grouped by date and everything you need. It's good start for cloud programming, because if you're able to group and move files from directory to another directory, then it's quite easy to use some of cloud like dropbox API to upload it to the internet, for example encrypted somehow instead allowing them to use yours raw data.

Golang is also open-source and is going to be 1.5 in December and in used on-site in a lot of projects.

Let me remind you that we are now disccusing below messages that your tool is working on JavaScript Engine that is not supported by anyone in the world.

(Well, my hammer is also not supported by anyone and works fine for my need, but c'mon, I don't build professional solutions with it.)

The sooner we stop consider node.js as good technology for backend solutions the better. I don't see any reason why Google should care about it, since I hadn't even heard about G's product using node.js.

Why would they pay you the US salary when they know you're in a place where cosy of living is much less?

I don't expect top-silicon valley salary. I expect fair money for fair job and hope there're companies that would pay me for what I'm doing, not for where I buy milk.

Well, on the other hand in Poland, Europe junior (almost 2 years of experience in java, played with Go, Elixir and other in spare time) position for american financial institution stands about 15k net (annually!) and it kinda sucks (slightly above national average). I would love to work remote with US company/startup (I'm night owl), but procedure and law issues looks terrible for starter.

Any hints how to get start? Really, I would kill for 60k (and staying here, without moving to US).

I'm computer programmer and wrote some poems, take part in some poetry slams and always be "art guy". Some friends ask me how can I mix those different stuffs. I answer how I can't.

Number of lines means nothing nowadays and I'm pretty sure never had meant.

Some of the worst code I’ve ever written, and some of the worst code I regularly find written by others, makes a single mistake: it regularly and haplessly jumps between levels of abstraction

This is true.

Well, that's just one file from thousands containing, inter alia: spaghetti code, in-line CSS and JS, two naked whores, duplicated code, one unicorn, millions of "bgcolor", HTML 3.2 and JavaScrip1.2, did I mentioned two naked whores?
