@SimonForsberg $3000 USD? Wow.
We're hiring like 50 people right now. Each referral is worth $500 on their first day and $500 if they're still here after 6 months.
And we've already given out like 10-20 of those referral bonuses (at least the first half... program hasn't even been going 6 months yet)
 
that's probably for a Senior position then.
 
$3000? Probably.
We're paying $500/$500 for any full-time position
 
It is standard in many companies to have these referral systems. Typically only for employees referring people, not for other people referring people.
Also, the bigger the company, the larger the referrals tend to be.
 
Right. Only current employees get the bonus for referring others.
 
In the scheme of things, $3000 is nothing when it comes to the actual costs of employing someone.
 
12:27 PM
Well, I say current employees... that does include people who have accepted an offer from us but who haven't actually started yet.
There are employees we have who have earned the $500 on their first paycheck.
 
@nhgrif correction: wolframalpha.com/input/?i=20000+SEK = 2400 USD
 
Additionally, it is a really good way to get employees, because it tends to shorten the hire process, since there is already a good reference that you can "trust" - you are likely to get a referral to someone your staff (will) want to work with already
 
Because typically what happens is we open an office in some area, we manage to snag one great employee out of some big corporate IT department... and then they'll identify the rest of the good devs out of that department.
 
A referral to a person who's crap will have a negative "mark" on botht he person who was employed, and the person who referred them
 
So, because of the kind of shop we are, we have lots of similar projects all going on at once. We'll have like 10 iOS projects, 10 Android projects, and 10 Rails projects.
We've got this cool utility we call "Lineup" which looks at a bunch of different things and gives a overall status of the project on various objective metrics.
 
12:32 PM
@Vogel612 Nope, 2400 USD is for a Java developer, senior or not-senior.
 
@Simon - neither Exibit a nor Exibit B are good examples of your cause.

InezAlgorithm that I had to write is a perfect case for while, or do..while loop, however I found out that if I will implement it with a for loop I will save few lines of code and also scope of variables will be more appropriate. Take a look at the following code: for ( var i = 1, offset = -...

That should be tagged with performance/optimization
 
@rolfl that didn't seem to ask about performance to me.
 
> How can i improve this code for better metrics?
 
@rolfl My point was that it shouldn't be tagged with performance, so I think it is a good example.
 
@SimonForsberg It should not be tagged with optimization eitherr.
My point is that is just as broken with optimization as it is with performance, and the fix is to remove both
 
12:34 PM
@rolfl Didn't specify what metrics, I was thinking that it could be cyclomatic complexity metrics or something
@rolfl I never said that it should be tagged with optimization.
@rolfl And merging the tags wouldn't fix that.
I can say that I don't have any strong feelings about the subject though, I just wanted to find a reason for "No".
 
@SimonForsberg You sort of did.
> Not all questions that are about optimization is in fact about performance, there have been many other kinds of optimization questions as well. Merging these tags would make it appear that they asked about performance when in fact, they did not.

So anyway, our Lineup tool does things like check whether or not your program is using Crashlytics (a tool we use for collecting/aggregating crash reports). It checks whether or not your git is set up correctly. Checks whether or not your project has a Jenkins build plan. Checks whether or not your project is integrated with our Hipchat. Checks whether or not your automated tests are passing (and where we can, we're checking test coverage--we have it for Rails...
...Xcode 7 has added it, so we'll be adding that soon).
 
@rolfl "other kinds of optimization questions" may be things like "code optimization" (shortening code) and just any other things that can possibly be included in the way-too-broad "optimization" tag. And I should have said "not all questions that are tagged with optimization"...
 
I thought we agreed that shortening code is generally covered by the tag.
 
@SimonForsberg Hmm... while you are right, but I think you're missing the point that the merge won't make any existing mis-tagged posts any worse. If they are currently mistagged as optimization then they will still be mistagged as performance.
 
12:40 PM
Because a) blanket shortening uncompiled code doesn't generally help anything, and b) minimizing the size of your executable is something we generally only care about in embedded environments.
The exception to shortening uncompiled code was only in reference to asking about web languages, but when last we looked, no one was actually asking those sorts of questions, and if they were, we had suggested that something like would be the tag.
 
@rolfl Considering my opinion that the optimization tag is a bad tag, you could say that all questions about "optimization" are mistagged, or that all questions about "optimization" is correctly tagged (as optimization can include almost anything)
@nhgrif I don't think so, that tag is something entirely different and is not something I am trying to discuss right now.
 
Hmm... taking a step back, there are only three courses of action at this point:
1. do nothing, and have optimization hanging around like a bad fruit
2. un-synonymize it, and get the tag separation we started with
3. complete the merge, and remove a bunch of inconsistencies in searches, etc.
It irritates me that my profile keeps suggesting as a silver-badge candidate.
Here's a "funny" story.... was recommended for me, with a score of > 400 score and 79 of 80 answers.....
So, I dug through the history of the site, and found a question from back before the merge, and answered it.....
I waited till after the batch process awards tag badges.... and, no badge.....
I go check, and the activity on the post caused a question edit, which, in turn, caused the tag to be changed to performance.
 
@rolfl 4. go through the optimization questions and re-tag appropriately?
 
@SimonForsberg There are >1200 of them
 
Still an option.
 
12:54 PM
including hundreds (well 177) with both performance and optimization tags.
 
those can be easily SEDE queried and edited easily. I think there's a way to edit questions with SE API even.
 
Anyway, back to my story, conclusion: I have now answered 77 optimization questions.... my answer count is steadily going down.....
 
No badge for you!
2
 
@SimonForsberg The merge will do it without affecting the question activity, or bumping the front page.
It will clear up duplicate tags too (so, no double-tagged posts).
Also, every question you are now concerrned about re-tagging is already being reported by a search on .
(also, every performance-tagged question is reported in too.
 
true that.
 
1:07 PM
So, to continue the story above about our Lineup tool... we can apply regex to files in order to check for things people are doing but shouldn't be doing in code.
Like using the ! operator in Swift.

Hi, this question is better suited for code review, where people could analyse your code and find where is it failing. SO is in general for more concrete programming/language related queries. As for your question, I didn't read the whole code, but if it is stoping after calling takenotes function, is because you have some errors. Maybe not syntax errors (so the code can run and finish), but you have some logic errors (like exiting the while loop when it shouldn't). — imaluengo 20 secs ago
actually @imaluengo that's wrong. Code Review is a site for working code, not for failing code. This means: Code must not only run, it must produce correct results, as such this question is off-ropic for Code Review.

@Vogel612 Ouch! Didn't know about that, sorry.

@skiwi Why should put a huge red IN CAPITAL LETTERS pop-up saying to new users. "Title must explain what the code does"

@Caridorc I feel like that's not the biggest problem. Maybe IS YOUR CODE ALREADY WORKING AS INTENDED?

It seems that your code currently works, and you are looking to improve it. Generally these questions are too opinionated for this site but you might find better luck at CodeReview.SE. Remember to read their question requirements as they are more strict than this site. — Kyll 24 secs ago

Q: A more optimized way of finding prime factors

Pournima BedarkarI've solved Project Euler #2, but solving the same in Hacker Rank which has time constraint of < 4 seconds doesn't work. I've tried using the square root solution for speeding up but it fails. Example: The prime factors of 10000001 are 11 and 909091, we have sqrt(10000001) = 3162, if we check ...

Q: Design pattern to create / load / save a file in object-oriented ways?

Ray KoopaEver since I loaded files into an object-oriented class hierarchy, I always had issues picking the programming style of how to load the data from the files (or streams), save it back to files, and how to allow the user to create a completely new instance of the class, and I wonder what is a good ...

Q: This could be more efficient

Chris_topherI'm still pretty new to JavaScript. I'm making a game to get a better understanding. Although it's working exactly how I want it to right now, the code could definitely be less repetitive and more organized. I'm just not sure how to go about that. I'm hoping someone can take a look and simply giv...

 
Why all the downvotes? For those of you who don't like numerical or scientific programming, go look at other questions. This is a good question that is well suited to this site. The scicomp site is still beta; migration there is not a good option. The code review site doesn't get enough sciomp eyes. What the OP did happens quite often in scientific computing: Construct a problem in a symbolic math program, ask the program to generate code, and don't touch the result because the generated code is such a mess. — David Hammen 9 secs ago
 
What should you do to a post if the OP has not tested their code, but they say that they think it works. Does that go under "The code works to the best of their knowledge"?
 
Zak
@SirPython I think, in that situation, they don't get benefit-of-the-doubt if their code appears not to work.
But assume that it does unless there is evidence otherwise
 
thanks. I'm pretty sure it's not broken; does it violate community norms to just ask about structural and conceptual issues and assume it's working? (I ask while slipping off to give it a quick test :-) ) — Paul Gowder 57 secs ago

If you want a code review rather than have a question, post to codereview.stackexchange.comDan Guzman 28 secs ago
Your code is very un-Ruby-like. I'm guessing you've come from a language that makes heavy use of indices. Ruby doesn't. Instead, it mainly uses enumerators and blocks. You'll have to break that habit to use Ruby effectively. Once you've fixed you code I suggest you post it at Code Review. There you will get good advice on how to improve it. — Cary Swoveland 13 secs ago
@Andy: If he posts the code at codereview, it will be closed as off topic, as the code doesn't work at all. — Guffa 16 secs ago

A: Plugin system for calling methods

iavrFirst, you are not storing &&, but rather &. Why? because plugin1 etc. are lvalue references, and because of the reference collapsing rules. Second, you can use a tuple of references as you would use a reference itself. That is, everything is fine unless you return a tuple of references to local...

@DavidHammen the Code Review site doesn't get enough sciomp eyes - sounds like a chicken-and-egg problem, and a mindset that isn't helping CR to get any more of such eyes. Same applies to the idea of turning down the scicomp beta site because it's beta - if everyone thought like that, the only site to grow would be Stack Overflow. — Mat's Mug 55 secs ago

@Hosch250 You and I have very different viewpoints of the difficulty of cleaning viruses out of computers.
 
@EBrown Huh?
Just reinstall Windows.
 
@Hosch250 Not always an option.
In fact, it's less often an option than clearing the virus out is.
