Not to be rude or anything, but working in the ABQ area as well we have hired a few people who applied to Stellar Science, they have said they were just asked to submit a sample of work and never heard anything back. One or two of them my have been a bit bitter over it since they worked hard on their submissions. What exactly are you guys looking for or have your hiring standards changed or what usually leads to candidates not being hired.

This may sound like I applied and was burned, but I can assure you this wasn't the case, it just came up twice recently and a lot of people had gripes.

> What I wonder is why some of them chose not to publish their works when their hunches were correct?

What have you published? Or have most people?

Not sure, but maybe because it isn't a positional zero.

I don't know quite what you mean? MINIX isn't free, which is pretty big for a student project. In fact people may have started a similar project(not big like GNU) to due to its price.

Sure those were encountered there, but at least in my experience those are easily avoided. I have had to make test suites for this, and in my experience if you use reasonable libraries things work well.

To answer your question, yes. Someone absolutely can decode that and figure out the odds. If they couldn't then there would be less obfuscation used. A browser ABSOLUTELY has to be able to run the javascript. Anyone dedicated enough can de-compile that javascript to a program. Is it easy? No, but people do it all the time.

I have had to deal with client that thought they could keep some bit of code secret on a browser before. I have had to explain many many times that anything the browser can do a human can do. So if a browser can run the code, at some point a human can too.

Why was it a huge mistake? There are decent libraries that support it. Did it just not work with your cloud setup or OS libraries?

"seek and ye shall find"? I mean they didn't exactly try to find out why they were drinking so much coffee, they were more trying to save money(I think).

I don't mean to diminish the post or the author, but I spent a decent amount of time reading through the pages and am about to try their code, but I get the feeling the author is a little either crazy or out of touch with how to communicate with people. It is clear they have made something interesting, but I can't help but feel there is something off in the communication of it.

Each series takes place in a different time frame and with entirely different characters so they each stand on their own. Anyone can watch the episode named "Beer" in the second series and find it funny for a 30 minute show.

Right, but now you can't use that COUNTER value in a macro and have it stay the same value. Think about concatenating a variable name with the counter and trying to use that same new name later in the same macro. Like NAME ## __COUNTER = NAME ## __COUNTER -1; This won't work without some extra state.

You can say exactly the same thing for a sphere. Really a sphere is just the skin, but in practice people will use phrases like "within the sphere" etc.. So it really doesn't matter, when it does people refer to the "boundary" of it or will just write some equations.
