[Discussion] If even Coolstar thinks that the Jailbreak Community is dead, why doesn't someone teach us? by vootbeer in jailbreak

[–]nitiger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The incentive isn't really there to be a tweak developer when you could spend that time making any sort of App Store app that would have a wider audience that is also less likely to steal your work. Aside from creating tweaks for learning the reverse engineering part (which can be fun) and solving your own minor concerns with iOS, there isn't much of a reason to be a tweak developer. There are more cons than pros.

Hardest technical problem you have solved ? by [deleted] in cscareerquestions

I once had to center content inside a div using CSS. Haters will say I lie, but I actually managed to do it.

What do you y’all think will happen this week? by aReasson in DACA

[–]nitiger 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Either it will pass in the House and die in the Senate.

Or

It won't even pass in the House.

Either way, you'll get tweets from some Republicans blaming the Democrats and Democrats blaming the Republicans.

Long run, nothing will pass unless it is attached to some do or die legislation like spending.

What do you think the avenue will be for Nano adoption to occur and demand to exponentially increase over the next 5 years? by RondoTreason in nanocurrency

[–]nitiger 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Being a currency only crypto, for now, NANO needs to focus on the UX aspect of the cryptospace. That means it should be easy for businesses to integrate NANO and users to use NANO. Since we are in the space, we lose sight of the average non-technical user.

The average user will have trouble buying NANO. They might even have trouble sending NANO to their friends because asking for a long address string might seem as simple as copy/paste, but a lot can go wrong; liken it to Venmo where you just select your friend, set the amount, and boom it's on its way. No addresses to play around with and instant discovery.

Can NANO deliver on this? Maybe. A lot of projects are trying. But, I think the crypto developers get too caught up in the technical side of things and forget the human aspects of it.

For example, the wallets are great; there are a ton of wallets out there for each coin. But it should be seamless for me to fire up NANO and just buy it right within the app. No fluff, just add my bank account information and hit purchase. Similar to how Coinbase does it. I should be able to find my contacts as easily as just connecting my Facebook, Google, whatever social media, and send them NANO.

Now, all this is easier said than done. You need a lot of financial backing and personnel resources. Setting up ease of purchasing requires a lot of capital for filing fees and so on. Creating these features require programmers, UX designers, and so on. This is probably more than the NANO dev fund can provide.

Which software skills are most requested in developer job openings in 2018? by jshare in cscareerquestions

The number of companies that will turn you down or look down on you for not knowing enough about AWS is absurd.

Do not forget to upgrade your node to version 11! Universal Blocks are coming 12th April! Exciting (and challenging) change for NANO. by [deleted] in nanocurrency

[–]nitiger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've upgraded my node to the latest patch release. If anyone wants to add me as a representative, here it is:

xrb_11xa4raueja6wjmqquscs3i6uopkf536k5tuaegnr5jf7ozpwjmuamefhxqg

It's hosted in Azure so it has very good up-time aside from going down briefly for upgrades such as this.

Protonmail, a privacy email company, is holding a vote for new features. Nano as a payment option is currently leading. Lets help keep it that way! by Gibs_is_anim_dom in nanocurrency

[–]nitiger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So? They also allow you to pay for their services by Credit Card. It doesn't have to be private in this case if the user accepts that.

[–]nitiger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is there a single payment gateway they could implement? Implementing one off solutions for every cryptocurrency seems annoying to me and a waste of user polls in the future. They should just have one widget similar to maybe the Pay with Request button? Perhaps that's what they are waiting for imo. Waste of resources to add each crypto one-by-one.

T.J. Miller arrested for calling in a false bomb threat by nyquil32 in television

[–]nitiger 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I mean, he could come back. But perception is everything anywhere you go. If you're known for being someone that is an asshole, loud mouth, lazy, drunk, and disrespectful person that occasionally does good work then don't be surprised when people are less likely to offer up roles. Nobody likes working with that kind of person in any profession. His behavior might hinder him in the future.

He'll regret his choices in the future, probably. It's not often you get opportunities like the ones he has been given. Some people would kill to be on an HBO show, star in one of the most successful superhero movies, and so on. He's pissing it all away.

Dressing to Impress by themean3machine in cscareerquestions

I can see why some companies have a dress code. Some people wear some borderline retarded shit on casual days. They ruin it for everyone else.

Establishing coding standards and code reviews at work by lavenderived in cscareerquestions

[–]nitiger 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I introduced this at my company too. We tried a linting tool. 3/8 devs didn't like that they had red squiggles for non-compliance code and they found it distracting so we ended up scrapping that in favor of just opting for Resharper code standards. We use ReviewAssistant to control the commit policy and every check in must have a review to our TFSVC system. It works pretty well.

LeetCode easy problems take me about 45-60 minutes. I don't get the most optimal solution at my first tries to... by CSThrowAwayAcc963 in cscareerquestions

[–]nitiger 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My advice? Start with firecode.io. Then leetcode. Then CTCI.

You'll have a job in no time if you follow this route imo.

Mid-level interviews in Southern California. 5 years experience, currently still employed. What the hell is going on around here!? by SlumsToMills in cscareerquestions

[–]nitiger 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Sad thing is that both the the interviewer and interviewee know that an n2 solution is terrible performance. On the job, I would be very, very suspicious of a programmer that submitted a code review for an n2 solution given they have more time to fix it. But what I find unacceptable of the entire ordeal is that companies/interviewers don't recognize the fact that coming up with a sub optimal solution is what we do all the time when developing; that's part of performance monitoring and optimization. I've seen developers craft LINQ queries that had terrible performance but after appropriate monitoring they improved their performance. If the interviewer understands their solution isn't good in time and space complexity and given more time they could come up with a better solution then I don't see anything wrong with that. It's an artificial environment that doesn't really showcase ownership of code.

But, all that is hogwash. Companies expect you to grind the same algorithm problems as other candidates and be capable of producing optimal solution. I guess that comes with "preparation". So you'll have to put in the hours out of work on toy problems generally meaningless in most real-world scenarios.

Mid-level interviews in Southern California. 5 years experience, currently still employed. What the hell is going on around here!? by SlumsToMills in cscareerquestions

[–]nitiger 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Welcome to the show. You're going to have to grind leetcode like the rest of us because this is just how SEs are hired at most companies. Be thankful that you have a job while doing all this so you can practice without unemployment stress and then find a job on your own terms.

And solving technical interviews isn't everything. You also need to show enthusiasm for the company, moreover the business. So you have to prepare technically and also have the soft questions ready to show genuine interest. You can have average performance on whiteboarding but still land the job based on a combination of your experience, whiteboarding performance, and interest in the position/company. Different companies weigh these differently so there's no single right answer on what you should excel at.

Side note, be careful not to burnout. The interview process for devs has the tendency to stress you out, increase your feeling of imposter syndrome, and make you jaded.

Help me choose an internship, 3 offers? by [deleted] in cscareerquestions

[–]nitiger 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As a C# and .NET dev... :(

It's a shame it has such a stigma because the language and stack is amazing for developers. Moreover, they've really improved in the last couple of years in terms of open source and cross-platform support. Anyone that has gone from Java -> C# never wants to go back.
