Has anyone seen Open Calais [1]? It does tagging and categorization. It's been around for years and seems pretty powerful. It's a bit lower-level than Algorithmia (not href aware), but it seems more powerful, and a system like Algorithmia could be built on it.
The city does seem to be doing what it can to encourage and help providers, but I don't think they are willing to invest capital. Not sure whether or not that is a dealbreaker.
If a worker is going to work remotely, is it a better evaluation of her skill to have her do her coding test remotely or have her do it in the office? Likewise, is it fair to ask a potential remote worker to take on an endeavor that's much more cumbersome than it would be for an in-office worker.
The other part of the argument is that the hiring company may be affecting its ability to evaluate a candidate by subjecting him to a situation that's pretty different from the job's reality. Ostensibly, the point of having someone work out of the office is to see how well he'll do if he gets the job, but in the case of a remote worker, this may not be a good indicator.
I think all of this is highly debatable, and there's probably no right answer, but there is lots of food for thought!
I think your twisting his words about C-level executives. The point of that section was the value of time, and was using his experience with executives to illustrate that point, not to insinuate that he deserves to bypass lower-level employees.
I really wish the mother would have contacted the teacher, even if her daughter had decided "to plow through."
I'd like to give the teacher the benefit of the doubt and assume that he didn't knowingly let a student endure a semester of harassment. He probably didn't see or recognize the issue.
Open communication from the mother could have helped the teacher recognize the problem and deal with it.
I'm genuinely curious. Core premise of the article is that Google is abandoning 20% time because they have these metrics in place and management places so much value in them. If the articles correct, the measurement they're using is having a huge financial and technological impact on one of the most successful software companies around.
I'm sure it does, but I can write the same class in C# just as easily:
class Person
{
public int Sanity { get; set; }
public Person()
{
Sanity = 50;
}
}
And to call it:
var programmer = new Person();
programmer.Sanity += 1000000;
Console.WriteLine(programmer.Sanity);
I don't see much difference between Person.new and new Person();.
What are the real ways in which it will knock my socks off?
I'm honestly asking. Even though I program C# at work, I'm very interested in the advantages of other languages.
Of course. And if they do implement such a JavaScript-dependant approach, it will be entirely different from any other government site. As I said, I look forward to seeing how they progress.
