If only someone would go to a jail with a J. Time is the one resource we all have in limited quantities and should be precious to you no matter how much money you have.
I appreciate seeing an office for a successful indie company that doesn't consist of brick facades, exposed ventilation and a big open room filled with people, computers, video game consoles and foosball tables. I just appreciate the slightly more mature look than I'm used to seeing glorified in office pictorials for tech companies.
That being said, I don't see ANY computers there, so maybe they just didn't picture their brickwork in this photo shoot.
I find it amusing that each time an interviewing technique post is made to HN, invariably a post by someone claiming they work for Google is made, always disparaging the manholes problem (I've never even heard of this being posed in the real world) and tossing out some algorithm problem as a throwaway. The best part is the torrent of solutions that inevitably follow, in every popular language regardless of whether their solution has already been presented in another language.
It's almost like Google has some sort of informal process for throwing away old interview questions this way, just for laughs...
This also makes me think I may spend too much time lurking on HN.
Thanks for bringing this distribution to my attention. I've been trying to force myself to adapt to Unity but I'm still not enjoying it. I feared switching to another distribution because I've grown accustomed to Ubuntu's ease of package management and hardware support. I don't have the time or inclination to fiddle with text file configurations any more these days.
Mint appears to address all of my concerns, providing a distro based on Ubuntu but stressing ease of use in ways Ubuntu was not willing to (including flash, full multimedia support, Oracle's java, etc in a fresh install). I am excited to give the live dvd a try!
I am especially encouraged by their plans for reconciling users' workflow patterns with Ubuntu's switch to Unity and the Gnome's new interface. Very pragmatic approach in my view.
I've been waiting for this rewrite! By the looks of this page, you've done a fine job. Excellent work team ClojureQL! I'm looking forward to giving it a test run.
