It really isn’t quite that simple. There are Intersex people who have ambiguous genitalia and there are several viable chromosome combos besides XX and XY.
If most of your candidates cannot answer the question, but you would still hire them I would drop the question. Knowledge of when to use an index is more valuable than the specific mechanics of how the index is implemented.
When I want to test database knowledge, I usually give the candidate a simple database schema and ask them to write progressively harder SQL queries. Database modeling questions are also good for teasing out the seniority of a candidate as well.
Childcare is substantially more expensive and the public schools are not very good. You almost have to put your child in private school, and you are looking at $20k-$30k/year/child. The city is not very kid friendly in general.
There is no $5mm payout in this scenario. This is the paper value of the shares, which you must pay taxes on since the IRS considers them income. In other words, the IRS thinks you have received something worth $5mm in value, so you must pay taxes on it.
I'm sure there are more. These are just a few I could find a few minutes.
Sorry, I'm not trying to call you out here. I just have serious doubts that the criticism has anything to do with merit. In other words, I don't think it makes sense to rationalize jerky behavior :(
I have my doubts the folks criticizing it actually read the code. Even if they have, what's the point of shitting on someone's pet project? Note that none of them actually give a reason for why the think it's bad. I think the folks criticizing are simply being bullies.
I think the code is fine and the project serves a nice niche. I can never remember the syntax for sed either, so I might actually use this project. No such thing as bad press I guess :)
Yes, that was my exact experience with Hibernate. I spent two years working on apps that used Hibernate and I never felt like I really understood how it worked. ActiveRecord for the most part "Just Works" for me in comparison.
Ignoring that he has built a successful company (while needing to hire a ton of people to accomplish it) seems very selective to me.
Also saying that "Maybe he'll be a winner in the future, and I wish him well" makes me think he completely missed that, or perhaps has never heard of Bleacher Report. The intersection of tech people and sports people does not seem very large.
