remember installing linux back before you had a smartphone and maybe only had one computer with an internet connection so if anything went wrong and you needed a reference, you'd have to like, go to the library?

1) i dont know the answers to their history of user interface questions but i dont really care, i think if i did care i could learn it pretty quickly

2) i'm more concerned with the || symbol on 2(a). does it have some special meaning or did a programming professor decide to just confuse people by arbitrarily using it there?

3) don't you guys have a haskell compiler you should be working on??

i think that || (or // ?) is just there randomly, maybe they copied lines from some comments in source somewhere

A BRITISH girl was quizzed by cops after she was caught romping on a Virgin flight to Las Vegas.
The woman in her 20s — said to be travelling with her parents — had to be handcuffed to her seat after hurling abuse at crew who broke up her bonk in the bogs

that line confused me for a long time, but i'm pretty sure it means he goes to the rest facilities, and his feet will be warm because his pants will be bunched up around his ankles while he's sitting on the toilet

the dumbest thing about git is using SHA hashes instead of revision numbers

steve's clone of the repo is at ad55eabc1235678cde, yours is at c666e78392837dfff. who is ahead of who? by how much? how far in the past is revision fff666aaabbbccc6729beef?

we both have a copy of the repo. you do some work. i do some work. now we both have a revision claiming to be "r55" but what is the common ancestor? we both also have r54, r53, maybe r52 but those are different between our repos because we haven't pushed our changes yet.

if i push my changes, do your commits suddenly all increment in revision number? when and how does this happen?

what does "how far in the past" even mean? time? commits? source code diffs?

the way git does it is the only sensible way for a dvcs to do it

merging is actually p simple. if you have two commits c0 and c1 and a common ancestor a, you

calculate the diff of c0 and a and split that up into blocks of changes
calculate the diff of c1 and a and split that up into blocks of changes

you dont care about blocks that changed in neither diff
if a block changed in one diff but not the other, take the changed version
if it changed in both diffs but it changed to the same thing, just take the change
if it changed in both but the changes arent equivalent, then panic and tell the dev to fix it

Abstract interfaces and when to use them
Different .net frameworks and what your experience is with them. 
Random Problem-Solving Question that has been asked: you have 9 miles to go and everything you have is the same weight, except one is heavier than the rest, how do you determine which one it is the fastest? 
The backs of .NET and C# 
Form design and database design 
Is base call was on bottom or top of structure?
One specific questions pertaining to WCF-an operational contract that is a meditative attribute that you put on a class
How would you development is ASP.net 
Scenario Questions:
How would you deal with two libraries up to date, which would you choose? 
JQuerry? 
Knockout? 
What do you think of frameworks and which do you prefer? 
Some academic questions, difference between interface and abstract class 
MVC 
Object-oriented Q's-interfaces, Abstract classes



a recruiter sent me this today for a phone interview tomorrow so i am really hoping they ask me to describe the backs of .net and c# or if base call is power bottom or not or if i had to choose JerryQueery or Knuckout which one would i vote off the island?

so use functional objects, where every time you would have updated some internal mutable state, you instead return a new copy of the object with the appropriate (immutable) fields given their new values. this sounds really inefficient, but since the objects are immutable, the language implementation doesn't actually need to copy anything you're not changing, it can just refer to the old one. might want to rethink your gc though. but congrats now it's not stateful anymore

you can do this and still discover that oop is not really that good

as tech lead you're ultimately responsible for every line of code that goes into your product and sometimes you have to lean on people if their area is getting out of control. there are some really uncomfortable discussions sometimes
