| mhall119 | paultag: my only concern is that you may be too awesome for facebook | 00:04 |
|---|---|---|
| mhall119 | I mean, I bet your nook rooting project doesn't broadcast anybody's private information | 00:05 |
| mhall119 | hmmm, makershed.com might be dangerous | 02:53 |
| paultag | mhall119: thanks :P | 03:00 |
| paultag | mhall119: interview went well, my recriter just called me and said that the responses were positive, and that they wanted another phone interview | 03:01 |
| paultag | not sure if that's good or not, I mean, on-site is supposed to be sorta a final thing | 03:01 |
| paultag | I'm wondering if I did not get some points off and they want to make sure I'm unfit | 03:01 |
| paultag | Fsck it. What happens happens. | 03:21 |
| cjohnston | jono: jcastro http://status.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-oneiric/canonical-community.html | 03:43 |
| mhall119 | paultag: could be that you passed the technical, and now they want to ask you some "work culture" questions | 03:45 |
| paultag | mhall119: I really hope so, I'm so burned out on interview questions, I Just want to build something, damnit | 03:47 |
| mhall119 | they didn't ask you the stupid "how would you calculate the number of gas stations in the city" did they? | 03:48 |
| paultag | mhall119: what *kills* me is that 5 minutes before that call I would have been real cocky about how well I did. Now, I'm shaken up and I don't know | 03:48 |
| paultag | mhall119: dude, so fucking many. Also these little pedantic fun questions | 03:48 |
| mhall119 | I hate those | 03:48 |
| paultag | there was this one that was nasty | 03:49 |
| paultag | took me a few minutes | 03:49 |
| mhall119 | that and the "do you know this obscure fact about some language on a certain hardware arch" | 03:49 |
| paultag | mhall119: aye. I much more dread the CS trick questions since that's what I do | 03:49 |
| paultag | and I'd much rather fail at something I'm not good at | 03:49 |
| mhall119 | I like to ask them to put the question in the form of an actual scenario | 03:50 |
| paultag | mhall119: truth | 03:51 |
| mhall119 | what was the nasty one? | 03:51 |
| mhall119 | or are you under an NDA on these | 03:51 |
| paultag | mhall119: I'm under an NDA for some of it. Hold on, let me see the paperwork | 03:52 |
| paultag | mhall119: no, we're clean. This is a common question and therefore not subject to the NDA, since it's "in the wild" through no fault of myself | 03:52 |
| mhall119 | was it "How would you go about collecting and broadcasting people's most private details while making them keep coming back to your service like addicts looking for a fix?" | 03:52 |
| mhall119 | or was that one under the NDA? | 03:53 |
| mhall119 | probably under the NSA | 03:53 |
| mhall119 | NDA | 03:53 |
| paultag | I can not confirm nor deny | 03:53 |
| paultag | mhall119: http://me.pault.ag/dft-nl | 03:54 |
| paultag | mhall119: given the data structure on the top, write a non-recursive function to print that result, without adding any data to the nodes, and in O(n) time | 03:55 |
| mhall119 | aw, cs stuff | 03:55 |
| paultag | mhall119: well yeah :) | 03:55 |
| paultag | mhall119: give it a hack, it's not too too bad | 03:56 |
| paultag | I got the first part (printing them out in order) in about 3 minutes, getting the newlines caused me trouble | 03:56 |
| paultag | I don't think I can give my solution, and I can not confirm that was the actual question they asked me | 03:56 |
| paultag | but if it's not, it's similar, I'd guess | 03:57 |
| mhall119 | can you put this in the form of an actual scenario? ;) | 03:59 |
| paultag | mhall119: nope :) | 03:59 |
| paultag | mhall119: I'm going to rm that file, just in case | 03:59 |
| mhall119 | then it's not really a problem is it? next | 03:59 |
| paultag | mhall119: it's a puzzle, and pullzes > problems | 04:00 |
| paultag | puzzles * | 04:00 |
| mhall119 | are they going to pay you to play with puzzles? | 04:00 |
| paultag | mhall119: yeah | 04:00 |
| mhall119 | (would love to answer interview questions like this) | 04:00 |
| paultag | mhall119: they do, actually :) | 04:00 |
| paultag | if we can figure out a puzzle, we've optimized something | 04:00 |
| paultag | and optimization is key | 04:01 |
| paultag | that's why O(n) is important, and not O(n!) | 04:01 |
| paultag | I need a massage | 04:03 |
| mhall119 | I need a cs class, apparently | 04:04 |
| mhall119 | or fewer, perhaps, as I can't stop thinking of recursion | 04:05 |
| paultag | mhall119: facebook and google are very CS heavy, which is good, but at the same time, it's not average | 04:05 |
| paultag | don't worry, most languages have this built in | 04:05 |
| paultag | .sort() does not need to have you go through it with big-O notation | 04:06 |
| mhall119 | true | 04:06 |
| paultag | I'm going to go back to moping around, I'm really bummed. I wonder why he said it was positive, seems like that can't be true | 04:07 |
| * mhall119 sends happy thoughts and optimism your way | 04:08 | |
| paultag | mhall119: thanks man :) | 04:08 |
| paultag | I hope they call some of my 'refs for some love | 04:08 |
| mhall119 | paultag: did the algorithm have to work for any binary tree? | 04:10 |
| mhall119 | or just this one? | 04:10 |
| mhall119 | wait, is 5 a child of both 2 and 3? | 04:11 |
| paultag | mhall119: no, just 2 -- and any binary tree | 04:11 |
| mhall119 | ok, so 3 has only one child | 04:11 |
| paultag | unknown number of child nodes per depth | 04:11 |
| paultag | mhall119: right | 04:11 |
| mhall119 | yeah, I'm throwing in the towel on that | 04:13 |
| mhall119 | otherwise I'll be up all night | 04:13 |
| * mhall119 might anyway now :( | 04:13 | |
| paultag | mhall119: solve this and I'll buy you a beer when we meet up | 04:13 |
| paultag | it's actually fun | 04:14 |
| paultag | the first part is fairly easy (and you can google for it, but that's cheating) | 04:15 |
| paultag | the second bit is a bit tougher, but still fun | 04:15 |
| paultag | mhall119: fiture it out yet? | 04:41 |
| paultag | sed s/fiture/figure/g | 04:41 |
| mhall119 | paultag: no, I'm distracting my brain | 04:52 |
| paultag | mhall119: :) | 05:01 |
| nigelb | paultag: ! | 05:20 |

| blackmoon-105 | hi, this is the right place for ask about ubuntu wiki (community documentation)? | 10:33 |
| blackmoon-105 | i need to remove an attachment from a page | 10:33 |
| === daker_ is now known as daker | ||
| AlanBell | blackmoon-105_: not really, but what page? | 11:10 |
| blackmoon-105_ | AlanBell: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Asus_N53?action=AttachFile attachment:20_custom-ehci-hcd | 11:12 |
| === Daviey is now known as Da | ||
| === Da is now known as Daviey | ||
| AlanBell | you can upload a new version here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Asus_N53?action=AttachFile&do=view&target=20_custom-ehci-hcd but it would take someone who can delete pages to delete it | 12:41 |
| AlanBell | try in #ubuntu-doc for someone who can do that | 12:41 |
| blackmoon-105 | AlanBell: overwrite is not allowed :-( I've aleady asked in #ubuntu-doc with no answer | 12:48 |
| cjohnston | AlanBell: id assume that those are checked in through bzr since its on help.u.c | 12:50 |
| cjohnston | no? | 12:50 |
| AlanBell | not sure | 12:51 |
| popey | no | 12:56 |
| popey | /community/ is a wiki | 12:56 |
| popey | / is not. | 12:57 |
| popey | drop matthew east a mail. he has access | 12:57 |
| * czajkowski hugs popey | 12:57 | |
| popey | btw whats the issue? | 12:57 |
| popey | I arrived to this late | 12:57 |
| mhall119 | somebody drove their car into help.ubuntu.com on their way to work, any idea who that could be? | 13:00 |
| popey | ☺ | 13:01 |
| mhall119 | they took out a mailing list too | 13:01 |
| czajkowski | mhall119: your a bad bad egg | 13:01 |
| * czajkowski sends mhall119 to the naughty step | 13:02 | |
| blackmoon-105 | popey: i must remove an attachment in the community wiki, but i can't | 13:02 |
| mhall119 | that sounds like a fun place to be, actually ;) | 13:02 |
| popey | why do you need to remove it blackmoon-105 ? | 13:02 |
| blackmoon-105 | besause it's a duplicate file with another name | 13:02 |
| popey | oh. not a massive problem then ☺ | 13:02 |
| popey | just drop mdke at ubuntu.com a mail and ask for deletion and tell him why | 13:03 |
| blackmoon-105 | popey: ok, thank you :-) | 13:04 |
| popey | np | 13:04 |
| dpm | ok everyone, calling it a day a bit earlier today | 15:26 |

| jcastro | I don't know what changes are coming for lenses in 11.10 | 21:21 |
| jcastro | so I would lean towards something else as a competition | 21:21 |
