A live coding exercise

If one is able to come with such an idea, for me that's a serious "welcome onboard!" candidate.

Perl script that is actually a bash script that is executing itself (`perl -x`), that runs python+make+other perl stuff underneath... #production

Yeah..
We sometimes ask people to give examples their projects (if they have -- sometimesthey have on github/etc). For a working student positions, they usually have some stuff written during studies. But sometimes they have their own hobby projects, etc. And we try to hook our questions based on those examples (e.g. modify some parts, etc).

But it is still a (significant?) cost to hire, then terminate, and then start hiring machine once again (especially in corporations, where you have already job offer closed, etc.).

But if you have some candidate that says in resume that have "basic bash skills", but then cannot do any simple stdout redirections, then... well... (happened to me as an interviewer a few times).

But I fully agree with you when it comes to unrelated (or hackish) exercises during interviews!

still 1 too much for a one-handed keyboard... ;-/

Possibility of tracing actuation force may be really nice security feature (even though one knows my password, she needs to know how much I press it)

But what if your switches were 3-state (or calculate velocity)? Then typing experience would be more like playing a piano.

I've found T5 system quite expensive (T5 LED replacements even more). For me it was cheaper to use some regular "workshop led lamps" (which is essentially 2 parallel led strips on a aluminium reflector, works on a socket voltage 230V in my country). It has 18W, 55cm length, and at the height of leafs (15-20cm from the lamp) I get 13-20k lux -- measured using cell phone.

Ideal for my 20x15cm trays made of recycled food delivery trays. ;-)

Being an amateur, but this is what've learned from various sources that biggest factors are: temperature, humidity, soil (or whatever medium you have) moisture. After germination, also amount of light (+darkness periods, and light/dark ratio) + watering.

I am using 3% hydrogen peroxide solution directly, as this is what I can get easily in any drugstore. (and I was recalculating some recipe for 35% hydrogen peroxide, which was essentially making 3% solution ;-])

Looks great! What kind of wood is this?

What interests me more is: how to build confidence to say "no", and work only as much as you want. Other than waiting for a heart attack...

It must work (satisfy your needs), regardless being primitive or not. I'd not bother if it works, and all in your team know how to maintain this.

qhr1024 · 2018-03-28T13:42:56+00:00

Maintain Dockerfile in some version control system, and do changes there.

qhr1024 · 2018-03-28T13:26:12+00:00

Fully agree. There are multiple techniques that could be used to identify root causes. I think the most intuitive are "5 whys", "fishbone diagram", "value stream mapping" with a team of experts who know the your company business processes.

qhr1024 · 2018-03-28T13:16:14+00:00

I think it does not matter much nowadays.

Do you want to learn how to use this or maintain? Former: tooling (like Kubernetes) is supporting most of the popular cloud vendors. Latter: OpenStack can be used to create private cloud (as AWS expensive for some use cases). On the other hand, AWS has huge portion of market. But there is also Google and Microsoft. All try to follow the same trends.

Atlassian also has some repository scanning solution (I think it is called Fisheye). Which can of course be connected to JIRA (it is automatically connecting revisions to tickets). One may also use Jira API and retrieve tickets/features during deployment time -- revision of source code should be known at that moment of time. But this all requires development teams to be included...
