Dev World Hoopla

Indian IT firm accused of discrimination against “stupid Americans”

Infosys allegedly achieved this ratio \”by directly discriminating against individuals who are not of South Asian decent in hiring, by abusing the H-1B visa process to bring workers of South Asian descent into the country rather than hiring qualified individuals already in the United States, and by abusing the B-1 visa system to bring workers of South Asian descent into the United States to perform work not allowed by their visa status rather than hiring individuals already in the United States to perform the work.\” Infosys \”used B-1 visa holders because they could be paid considerably lower wages than other workers including American-born workers,\” the lawsuit states.

Stupid Americans

Interviewing

Fizz Buzz Test

The \”Fizz-Buzz test\” is an interview question designed to help filter out the 99.5% of programming job candidates who can\’t seem to program their way out of a wet paper bag.
The text of the programming assignment is as follows:

Fizz buzz – Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Fizz buzz (also known as bizz buzz, or simply buzz) is a group word game for children to teach them about division.[1] Players take turns to count incrementally, replacing any number divisible by three with the word \”fizz\”, and any number divisible by five with the word \”buzz\”.

Coding Horror: Why Can\’t Programmers.. Program?

Like me, the author is having trouble with the fact that 199 out of 200 applicants for every programming job can\’t write code at all. I repeat: they can\’t write any code whatsoever.

What is Amazon Cloud Drive?

Store your music, videos, photos, and documents on Amazon’s S3 servers with an easy to use front-end. You only need a web browser to upload, download, and access your files from any computer. More details from Amazon about Cloud Drive

Cloud Drive Privacy Concerns?
Dropbox’s terms of services rocks in comparison

Chris’ thoughts on Cloud Drive:
-No way to share files, would be great to have easy S3 backed shared storage.
-Only working with files through the browser feels clunky. Needs a local client, or WebDav.
-I do like that the web client uploads in the “background” and lets you keep using the UI.
-Could be a cheap/easy way to backup important stuff. But mind the privacy terms.

Need more than 5GB?

Storage Plan		Songs Holds up to:	Photos Holds up to:	HD Video Holds up to:
5 GB	FREE	1,000	2,000	20 minutes

What is Cloud Player?
–Amazon has a good page for the basics.
–Good review of the Android app over at DS.

Chris’ thoughts on Cloud Player for Android:
-They slip it right into the Amazon MP3 store app. Tons of Androids already have this.
-The UI is sharp and clean, but that is likely due to its limited feature set.
-It’s directly streaming those media files, at their original bit-rate.
-Even at -99db (~one bar of signal) l I still was streaming with out issue.
-The instant I lost all signal, the music would stop.
-No pre-buffering.
-You’ll have to wait on a slow connection. No next track pre-buffering
-Not really an issue on WiFi/4G but 3G with low signal kinda hurts.
-Great start, but the devs should spend a week with Pandora for Android.
