How do you feel about being asked to code during an interview? +1 for clarifying requirements before launching into code. |

Most common “Y2K-style” bugs today? It's not a common bug either. "Not quite the same" is euphemistic. |

What is the most effective/efficient way to develop an application with multiple people without source control?Version control gives you this for free should IMO be corrected to Good version control gives you this for free. I've lost count of the days I've lost because svn's merge tracking isn't good enough. |

What advantages does TFS have over Tortoise SVN in this scenario? I have not used Mercurial, but I have used git and I regularly curse the decision that my company would use svn. |

Job Interview Challenges @Karl, it has to support named variables too. Goodbye to a small but non-zero set of functional languages. |

Discrete Math and Computing Course The people who create complex compression algorithms are the information theorists, not the number theorists or the graph theorists. |

My very first serious project and I'm concerned about security Should that not be "use HTTPS for everything"? When everyone is on the same LAN, cookie sniffing gets a bit easier. |

Bare minimum on the Joel Test @TokenMacGuy, I don't care whether it's centralised or not. What I care about is that DSCMs are designed for merges, and do them much better than SVN. |

Should certain math classes be required for a Computer Science degree? @sunpech, the first two questions were essentially the same but rephrased. If the problem is that the "prerequisites" aren't, IMO that should be the focus of the question. (I confess to not understanding the concept fully even then, because the education system wherever you are appears very different to the one in my country, but I would at least see the relevance). |

Should certain math classes be required for a Computer Science degree? The second paragraph makes no sense. Are you saying that the linear algebra and discrete maths were simultaneously required and not required? Surely the reason courses are given as prerequisites for a CS course is that without the prerequisites you can't understand the CS? So what does the work you did after finishing the CS course have to do with the price of fish? |

Eliminating Magic Numbers: When is it time to say “No”? @rmx, that will give 0. You need to use TotalSeconds. |

Any tool to trace the methods the control travels? @Thorbjørn, or using the same VM hooks as jdb - but I think there's more likely to be a convenient tool based around byte code rewriting. |

Any tool to trace the methods the control travels? AspectJ might allow you to hook the calls. |

Idea for a physics–computer science joint curriculum and textbook Sorry, where's the computer science aspect of the book? It sounds like physics and computer programming, which is something completely different. |
