First diagnose which version of libxml2 you're using:

bundle exec nokogiri -v

If you have 2.7.3 listed somewhere, you're in bad waters (known to segfault). Install this:

brew update
brew install libxml2
brew install libxslt

A lot of these are outright stolen from Edward O'Campo-Gooding's list of questions. I really like his list.

I'm having some trouble paring this down to a manageable list of questions -- I realistically want to know all of these things before starting to work at a company, but it's a lot to ask all at once. My current game plan is to pick 6 before an interview and ask those.

I'd love comments and suggestions about any of these.

I've found questions like "do you have smart people? Can I learn a lot at your company?" to be basically totally useless -- everybody will say "yeah, definitely!" and it's hard to learn anything from them. So I'm trying to make all of these questions pretty concrete -- if a team doesn't have an issue tracker, they don't have an issue tracker.

I'm also mostly not asking about principles, but the way things are -- not "do you think code review is important?", but "Does all code get reviewed?".

Purpose

sgharms

The goal was to learn how to make a simple HTTP request in Swift using Swift 3 on Linux.

Obviously, this presents some logistical challenges but also is enlightening about the state of Swift as a language for general computing outside of the Apple tooling ecosystem. I got stumped and worked using only vim and the available documentation.

// This will open up a prompt for text to send to a console session on digital ocean
//  Useful for long passwords
(function () {        
        var t = prompt("Enter text to be sent to console, (This wont send the enter keystroke)").split("");
        function f() {
                
                var character = t.shift();
                var i=[];
                var code = character.charCodeAt();
                var needs_shift = "!@#$%^&*()_+{}:\"<>?~|".indexOf(character) !== -1
