You can die of bad hygiene.

Ok, you can die because of religion too, in many, many countries.

But I guess it's not a good thing, no ?

That's something that really astounds me with this async thing.

Why on earth when they introduced it they didn't add a way to tell the browser the order of execution ? Or may be it exists and I haven't heard about it ?

And I thought movies exaggerated. I hate it when reality overcomes fiction.

So it's the widget come back ? One for the weather forecast, one for stock exchange informations...

So it's an idle game in JavaScript (or equivalent). Yet my iPhone is pretty hot after 30mn playing.

Is it mining or something ?

The board contains only binary values. So why not use binary comparisons in integers ?

For any row, you test the row value & the current col and have your answer.

"Friend of yours Bernaaard ?"

I used to do that (and there are out there many commented lines on old projects that are still active).

Now, I backup the source file somewhere for archive, run multiple tests on the new code, and make an obligation for me to deliver a cleaned source file, with no other comments than the one needed.

It's more clear when you go back to your code to not be distracted by old thoughts.

Or maybe it means that he was not "good enough" for the multiple technologies they use. Like just in one language but not all they use.

Pretty dumb at the end if you ask me.

Isn't the point of an internship to continue your formation ? How comes companies making the same tests as for recruiting for real jobs ?

"Hi, we are not going to pay you, or not very much, but please be at the same level as senior that are already working for us"

I had interns back in the day I had an office (and not working from home) and I always made them work on basic tasks under my supervision. Once I had one woman who was very good, and she worked on a website that ended in production, but most of the time the purpose was to work on internal projects that can be used even if not perfectly polished. You know, stuff you always say you're going to do some day, but you don't.

The advantages were on both sides. They learned real life cases, under my supervision, and I had the tools I didn't.

Disclaimer : I'm French so maybe my example is not relevant.

If you like concept albums, you should listen to the last Marillion album F.E.A.R

Don't forget that Carrefour also have shops in Brazil, China, Taiwan...

> It's no secret that images of models are often retouched

Well it's not a secret, but it's not obvious for most teenagers. And may be not either for people without high degrees education.

A lot of people, and I suppose not only in France, are not at peace with their body shape, even if they're not obese nor anorexic. Been exposed to not really existing bodies images can be painful for self esteem.

Of course, computer modified photos are recent, but fashion already used lightning and tricking exposure when producing photos from film since, well, the fashion press exists I guess.

Tried the winner in the mobile section on my iPhone. It crashed. Guess I'll have a look at it on my desktop computer so...
