Le blogueur.

My attitude is if I'm a good Ruby programmer, and you're trying to hire me when the supply for Ruby programmers is low and demand is high, that before you even talk to me you've spent at least 10 minutes Googling for my name, looking at my code, and figuring out who I am, rather than spending an hour subjecting me to a series of ad hoc programming questions in areas I may or may not specialize in. That 10 minutes of Google will tell you a lot more than asking me to come in and scribble stuff on a whiteboard.

Le commentateur.

I take your point about the interviewer asking appropriate questions for the interview. But it sounds to me like you're telling me your skills as a coder don't extend to making your ideas and plans understood without handing someone actual finished Ruby code, written on a laptop. If that's the case, then I can't work with you.

Je suis plutôt de l'avis du commentateur : quand on embauche un développeur, ça n'est pas pour travailler avec un sociopathe qui ne voit la vérité que dans son code. En même temps, c'est un Rubyiste, donc c'était à craindre.

Earlier this month Apple took the unusual step of releasing a list of all the firms in its worldwide supply chain as part of its 2011 audit of human rights conditions at factories where it has partnerships.However, the company's own list made for grim reading. It revealed that a staggering 62% of the 229 facilities that it was involved with were not in compliance with Apple's 60-hour maximum working week policy. Almost a third had problem with hazardous waste.Cook insisted in his email that Apple did not turn a blind eye to conditions in its supplier network. But he did warn that the firm was likely to discover more problems. "We will continue to dig deeper, and we will undoubtedly find more issues," he said.

Tim Cook, CEO actuel d'Apple, est responsable de toute la partie production depuis son arrivée en 1998. La fermeture des usines Apple : c'est Cook. La transformation d'Apple, fabricant informatique, en un bureau d'études couplé à une agence de publicité : c'est Cook. L'iPhone 4 blanc avec un an de retard : c'est encore Cook. Depuis 10 ans, Cook a joué la carte "sweatshops" et engrangé les profits ; ça commence à se voir, mais ça n'est plus un problème : l'argent est là, n'a jamais été distribué aux actionnaires, il peut s'acheter une virginité tel le mafieux versant son obole pour la restauration du presbytère.

An imbalance in the opposite direction characterizes the contemporary marriage market in China. The Chinese government’s one-child policy, combined with a cultural preference for sons and technologies that permit selective abortion, have helped to create a large sex-ratio imbalance among young Chinese. For every 100 women in that group, there are now more than 120 men.

Why? Here's a simple answer. A resilient home protects you against breakdowns in the global supply chain/economy.

As light keeping was a lonely profession in most cases supplies were

brought to them by lighthouse tender ships. One of the items the tender supplied was

a library box on each visit as pictured to the left. Library boxes were

filled with books and switched from station to station to supply different

reading materials to the families.

The trade in technical literature was so strong that publishers constantly worried about having a large enough supply, and this situation gave even the less talented scientific authors a good bargaining position in relation to publishers.

The ruling would imply that the City must either change the bylaw that currently prohibits postering on public street furniture, or supply a vast quantity of dedicated places for citizens to place public notices.

Apple has done very little, though, to clean up ebook messes, and their complicity in letting the big 6 agencies dump on the supply chain suggests that they want to be like Target and Walmart and just skim the blockbuster cream off the incumbent publishing ecosystem.

Pour l'instant, Apple a complètement échoué là où il avait réussi avec la musique : contractualiser la relation avec les éditeurs. Par contre, il ne faut pas dire "has done very little", ils ont réellement essayé.

I agree with Mike Cane that Apple will open the digital book floodgates by targeting the ebook creation tools mess.

Sauf que ce n'est pas le problème des outils de création d'ePub qui est le plus bloquant à l'heure actuelle.

Simply put: We believe that people have the right to know where things come from and what they are made of.
