you need to write a blog post with a provocative title to get upvotes

maybe try to sneak something about feminism in

I just purchased a 5 figure subscription to one of daveT's most hated softwares (SFDC) and not gonna lie I'm pretty pumped about it. Desk.com also looks pretty awesome, excited to get our team using it.

Yeah that's why I tried to give it a catchy title. I guess they didn't like that.

I started trying to write a blog post, but I haven't really been given 100% clearance from my company to do this (my boss said yes once, but he says a lot of things, and I've seen my company make way-too-many ham-fisted decisions).

So the blog had to be really vague, which just wasn't working. I may go ask for official permission and try to use them to get it promoted at some point.

There's a lot to hate about salesforce, but there's a lot to love too. It's not really newbie friendly in my experience, but it's extremely powerful.

BOOM BITCHES

from the guys who brought you the odin project

We're expert level and have a good network for it as well, so I'm super pumped.

Anais, I saw that earlier and thought it looked like a direct ripoff of app academy from curriculum to business model and even the payment amount. I didn't know it was from the Odin project guys (former app academy students).

So I had an algorithm on my exam like:

what is the O notation for this function? I put O(n) after thinking way too much about it.

is that a log n algorithm? shoot me if it is. i got the obvious trick part about it, the while loop. should have studied that **** more.

god damnit it totally is a log n algorithm. as n->infinity it doesn't increase linearly.. right?

Hi guys, looking for some advice, the TLDR is:

The project lead on my team is "stealing" credit, and I'm not sure what to do.

So I was hired a while back as a web dev for a small company. The company itself develops software, but not web related. The company hired me full time and contracted some people (including the project lead) to make an app.

I have evidence that one of the contractors does just about all the work for himself and the project lead, but just puts the lead's name/email in git. It's easy to tell based on coding patterns/language use. This has gone on for quite some time, but I haven't done anything for a few reasons:

1. The project lead talks the talk, and the people at my company has no idea.

2. Selfishly, I just wanted to focus on learning (still new to web dev) and not rock the boat.

3. The other contractor is from some developing country whose getting paid (I hope) pretty well. He definitely knows what's going on, unless he's been using git for 10 yrs and doesn't record his own name/email.

4. As a team, we're actually doing okay and putting out something reasonable.

Part of me thinks we can just carry the guy, but I just feel gross all the time. Thoughts?

I gave and deleted a wrong answer because I misread the outer loop as incrementing by 3 each time, not multiplying by 3 so if you happened to read that, my bad. So anyway the inner loop is just a constant multiplier which doesn't matter for big O. You go through the outer loop once for n <= 3, twice for 3 < n <= 9, 3x for 9 < n <= 27. So yeah, log(n).

O(10*cuberoot(n)) imo

Warning:

Some research beforehand would help.

JAVA is the bottoms. The JVM is all good though.
.Net is held in very high regard (note the current front-page article on VS + Node)
Feminism is the hot topic.
HN has a hyper-zealous voting-ring detector, so you have to be careful when you ask people here to upvote you.
They also don't like "click-bait" and eschew titles that don't exactly match the title of your document.

I would suggest this:
NodeJS Framework: Not your everyday ROR Bloatware; Woman-First Design for Big Data Lovers

Why cause drama if it doesn't even effect your work?
People are weird and you may have people not wanting to work with you if you mention it.

I advise not saying anything until it noticeably puts more work on you.
You could casually ask the other guy that does his work, what he thinks about it.

Yea it's O(log n). I made some stupid mistakes on that exam as well. Putting class name<t> and not returning const T& were some dumb mistakes on my part. I also heard there was a semi colon after a while loop which made the program terminate early. So the output would of been just 1, instead of 1,2,3. Oh well, guess I should take this class more seriously.

FYP but other than that it's perfect.

Roger, unless this situation is affecting you or your development I wouldn't say anything. If there's really that much BS going on it will come out in the wash soon enough.

The trick is you want someone else to be the whistle-blower. Because that person will never be trusted by management again, even if they're 100% in the right.

Since I haven't ranted about OS X in a while...connecting an Android smartphone to it is pretty much a nightmare. Got some prototype running on OS X (localhost webserver) and want to demo it on the cell.
You can use "internet sharing" to turn the Mac Book into a hotspot. Seems like it only works if you have an actual cable connection to share though and you can't share WLAN via WLAN.
This kind of used to work but a recent upgrade just broke my workflow.

Oh yeah and connecting the cell to the Mac Book via USB cable obviously just doesn't work at all out of the box (huge lol). You can dl and install horndis to get USB teathering to work though.

While we're at it Keynote is obviously not backward compatible after pretty short timespans (half a year maybe). Coworker sent me a presentation in keynote, tried to open it (to edit) on the other Macbook we have at the office (mine has no keynote because my coworker set up my macbook and the free keynote is forever linked to her account) and got the old "wrong version of keynote". Can't update keynote because she set up that macbook and I'd need her Apple ID.

It's like working in a straightjacket at times. Pretty damn frustrating if your default assumption is "it's probably not going to work"

/rant

So, Mac products do not work well out of the box with non-Mac products. Quite a shocker, who would've thunk it?
Snarkiness aside, what did you expect?

The keynote thing is a nice joke, though, I'll give you that.

I mean yeah, the whole "don't pay (much) until you get a job" isn't even remotely close to being new.

Still, might be fun to try out during summer break, see if I can finish quickly enough before school starts and maybe save a year of going to school.

An early example.

lol, nice

Think it's just

O(log(n))

Inside of the loop can be ignored as it completes in constant time. It's not O(n) as i *= 3 isn't linear.

I might be wrong as I'm not good on this sort of stuff but think that's right.

As was said, don't rock the boat.

The only thing that really matters is if it starts to affect you and create more work for you. If stuff is getting done that is all that really matters to most management, they will gladly turn a blind eye and see no evil, and take credit for 100% of it to their superiors
