the evaluation process

Interviewers are like psychiatrists who know what type (technical, behavioural, etc) of questions to ask in order to understand their potential select-tee; and have a serious amounts of information to know after a formal method to know if “you’d be a great addition to the team!”

…..

How I wait.

Brush up on my Scheme skills

lambda mmmm lambSo I have an interview tomorrow and I was informed that they use Scheme at this location, so I brushed up on my skills… see if you can get the answer to this lock to return true.

    (define (secretcode lst)

      (if (and

        (= (- (cadddr lst) (* (car lst) (+ (cadr lst) (caddr lst)))) 1)
        (null? (cddddr lst)))
        #t
        #f))

Server Crash

Facebook’s servers seem to be faulty to the max. It seems as if all the servers are busy and are all maxed out with the number of requests that they are getting simultaneously and it seems as if the operating system process scheduler is having some serious issues, my requests are suffering from starvation… If only they had someone like me to help them ;)

Bug to Job to Memory

So I sent a bug report to the Customer Support on Facebook which was the following message:

Shit!

My keboard must have fucked up because of my CTRL button didn’t work, must think of a way to retrieve the message from the character I/O memory located address, the characters are somewhere there in 1’s and 0’s.

Shit

I’m probably overwriting it now! Since I’m overwriting the message buffer located somewhere in memory on my machine that could only mean I can no longer retrieve it!!

But

But I can always rely on my backup memory which is my own memory in my head and just tell you the message went some where along the lines of me presenting the bug, why the bug exists with two given options along with the solutions to each source problem and then finished it off asking for a job and that I was graduating in May.

Cheers for memory (and for a broken-telephone of the previous post)!

Bug to Job

So, I was just doing my thing tonight, and well lets just say I was annoyed because I didn’t get some important message notifications, so I ended up emailing their platform help/bug service. This was the message:

 

SHIT

 

I can’t believe my Ctrl button didn’t work when I tried to copy and paste!! I hate my keyboard. If only I find out where in the memory address it is stored at, if only I had a program right now so that I could access it right now, too bad I didn’t know too much assembly right now…. wait a second, I must stop typing, there is a possibility that my message now has just overwritten some of the characters stored in memory, oh shit, Gotta go and try to retrieve it some how!

 

Ahh Shit

 

It’s too late. Anyway, it was pretty much a bug report concerning Facebook and so I started out what the bug was, why there is a bug presented with two different scenarios and then briefly telling them why it was so and then I told them that I was looking for a job in May because I was graduating from University.

 

Yes!

 

I no longer need to retrieve my memory address because I wanted to post that message on my blog! The previous paragraph summarized it for those non-techies! ;)
