Because the PuTTY devs are unemphatic whiners who refuse to implement window transparency. Thus, we need two screens, in order to stimulate the brain hemisphere that's coding in Emacs, and the other hemisphere that's watching films. https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.chiark.greenend.or...

What sort of signals have you gotten from those observations in the past? I ask because I've never judged an interview candidate on best practices, style, etc. since I'd be unfairly biased in favor of a point of view in which the interviewee hasn't been trained yet. I've seen a few cases where folks try to do things professionally, and it leaves them with less time to finish the algorithm. If the code is working, it could use implicit K&R types for all I care.

Instead of a movie they need to watch cable. Force them to watch the Discovery Channel and Animal Planet nature shows.
Naturally speaking, killing an animal is no different than killing a fellow human. Human beings are by nature, cruel and selfish creatures. The thing that makes us different from animals, is that we have the mental capacity to choose to be civilized. If human beings are capable of choosing to not murder each other, why are we not capable of choosing to sustain ourselves without torturing and killing animals?
