A lot of recruiters will tell a comp-sci person to study up on fizzbuzz.
Then they struggle with ordering the if/else statement to make it work right, etc.
ah
I don't think I've seen a main function since I started working
so in that instance you'd have file.cpp
and in it you'd have the static function declared and defined and then the main function
and even if you #include file.cpp in another file, you won't be able to get at the static because it's not related to a class?
but now it's pretty important to the language what with async and await so people should know it
dude she's just an analogy for every 17 year old girl so really she's like hundreds of thousands of years old.
SHE'S the pedophile
almost everything you think you learn in an interview is not signal but noise
people are super different and so much depends on what kind of day they're having
i suppose if they just barely passed it it might tell me i should ask some more coding questions
But like, have I ever personally done this--no...but does that really matter?
Thank god I don't see myself changing jobs for a while, or applying for a senior scientist sort of position if I do...
Some white supremacist group that's really particular about procedure when it comes to meetings, they're setting up the group and the leader steps up, "What's dark and comes in the night to steal our white women? That's right, N-"
"WEREWOLVES!"
"God dammit Jimbob... Lucille read back the minutes."
"Says werewolves here Joebob."
"God dammit. Guess we have to be racist against werewolves. Jimbob you dumb son of a bitch..."
Oh here it is.
int main() { char* c = "fizzbuzz"; for(int i=1; i< 101; i++) { int s = 4*(!(i%5)&&(i%3)); int f = 4*(!(i%3)+2*!(i%5)-!(i%15)); for(int j=s;j<f;j++) cout << c[j]; if (!f) cout << i; cout << endl; } return 0; }Looks like this one is similar but even more ridic.
int main() { long long c = 0xD6AA2D6926; for(int i=1; i< 101; i++) { for(int j=4*(!(i%5)&&(i%3));j<4*(!(i%3)+2*!(i%5)-!(i%15));j++) cout << (char)(((c>>(j*5))&0x1F)|0x60); if (!(!(i%3)+2*!(i%5)-!(i%15))) cout << i; cout << endl; } return 0; }But white supremacists love werewolves.
Sounds like the plot for a Mel Brooks skit.
We get a lot of frauds. The resume screening process filters most them out, but some of them sneak through.
None of the stories are particularly funny, though. It's usually just walking them through a simple troubleshooting problem and discovering that they don't know how to use basic tools or even do basic process of elimination style thinking.
Stuff like
"An employee calls you on the phone and says that he can't browse any websites. What do you do?"
"Tell me what program or tool you'd use to perform a Windows password reset."
About 1 out of every 4 or 5 of our interviewees flub these two questions.

Going to the cabin, and going to spend Friday and Saturday night there so I've got to put together a project list.
I HAVE to:
- finish my knife
- work on the blunderbuss (it's not fitting together properly and needs some woodwork)
- wax my canvas pack
- get my new mead whiskey flask finished
I'd LIKE to:
- work on the other two rifles
- flintknap a knife point (I'm still shitty at this, nowhere near production ready)
- work on a bow that's been leaning up in the cabin for almost a year
- get my canvas tent ready for the camp out in May
- work on sewing a tobacco pouch out of waxed canvas
- work on a new pipe
I'd love it if you took a look at my art and my PATREON!
Screech loudly into the phone
yes share if you agree

I'm not a programmer, but I absolutely can figure out simple script shit if I'm at a keyboard and can test my way through it. Don't ask me to pseudocode it on a whiteboard, though, I'll forget every single bit of any language, up to and including English.

I do not know the password for our shared NAS drive. If you asked me to speak it to you, I could not. I absolutely have to be sitting at the keyboard and typing.

look them right in the eye
begin vocalizing wordlessly in monotone
don't break eye contact
if they break eye contact, they don't get the job
if they start making the same noise in unison, they don't get the job
continue for five minutes
if they patiently wait for you to finish, and then continue the interview as normal, you have a real potential candidate on your hands
Then make it a breathing tube.
There are two kinds of people in the world.
People who don't have sedative darts in their neck.
And people who do.
Which side do you wa
I like how you snuck this in on the hopes that people would quote it.

Here's the thing. If I'm interviewing and I ask somebody "Do you know Powershell?" or "Do you know Cisco CLI?" I can tell the difference between somebody who actually does know it and just can't remember the details right now, vs somebody who is just bullshitting.
If I'm asking somebody to describe how they'd use Powershell to solve a problem and they're like "Well, I don't remember the exact command, but it's something like Get Mailbox, and then there's a switch that's like a hyphen and then Username, and then you can pipe that into a CSV..." that's enough for me to know that they've actually used Powershell for something in their life. I don't expect them to remember the exact commands or syntax.

I continue my week of indolence! It's great!
I've already got like 10 cane fire bellows that I give out to scouts and stuff when they want something bushcrafty
Shouldn't you just hand them a bic and tell them to come up for air instead of just like staying down there?
