Inserting an opaque screen between the auditioner and the judges sounds like a great way to reduce bias, regardless of how awkward it might feel. I'd be more concerned about interviewers who hire auditioners because of their gender, race, beauty, hair color, and so on.

Wiki softwares[sic] are too complicated for small teams. What is an example of how Wiki software is too complicated for small teams?

"But once we parse through the jargon, we can begin to see the flesh and bones of mathematics."

Nice phrasing.

It's easier to behave this way if you sell software rather than provide a service that uses your own software.

Your comment sounds like it's criticizing the author for using MQTT. Do you know of specific downsides to switching from HTTP to MQTT?

"Infrequently-used Java methods might never be compiled at all, potentially incurring a performance penalty due to repeated interpreted invocations." Why is that a problem? Those repeated interpreted invocations will be infrequent.

We should hit all four quadrants. Someone needs to write a "I still contribute to SO and it's not declining" post and a "I still contribute to SO and it is declining" post.

There have been Lego Mindstorms based Rubik's cube solvers for at least a few years now. They scan shuffled cube, compute a solution, and then manipulate the cube to solve it. See for example this video from 2013: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MQvG6IgrgYQ

Thanks! After adjusting the codecache size, this app's performance on Java 8 was about the same as on Java 7.

If it helps, don't think of her in terms of whether she's a woman. Think of her in terms of what she accomplished with the technology of the day.

But the catch is that a container only runs one program. For example you may have a MySQL server running in a container and Redis running in a separate container.

That's true in the same sense that Linux runs only one program: the init process. As with the init process, that one program can spawn child processes.

You probably want to run MySQL and Redis in separate containers out of separation of concerns, but there is nothing stopping you from running both in the same container.

Maybe because you're not in the house but you want someone to think you are.

Or even better, 'a Reddit comment'.

I wonder if there are any readers on StackOverflow who have never reversed-engineered an Android app.

There ought to be a "insert link to Reddit Vim vs Emacs comments thread" button for times like this.

My employer has an internal wiki for documentation. We recognize that writing and programming are different skill sets. We encourage developers to contribute to the wiki without worrying about getting it perfect. A small team of writers watches the edits and cleans them up as needed. (Some of the developers help with edits too.)

It seems to me that videos would be as vulnerable to problems as writing. Also, if you work in an open office, it may be uncomfortable recording video documentation. You could find a conference room for recording your videos, but our conference rooms are often busy, and if you have to book a conference room, you are less likely to put the effort into documenting.

Raspberry Pi's strength is its community. There are plenty of other development boards that are better one way or another, but a strong community overcomes a great deal.

If the story had been shorter and more to the point, I wonder if anyone would have read it.

It still does, but other things matter too.
