| Why Recruiters Are Universally Hated | |
| On 14. January 2013 I was invited for a job interview in London by Mr Ethan James of recruiting company | |
| TestDriven IT Group on behalf of his client, a start-up looking for Ruby on Rails developer. Mr Ethan | |
| James proposed I should fly with a low cost jet to get full reimbursement on my tickets. Hower I prefer | |
| rail and sea transport to air travel beacause of their smaller environmental footprint so we agreed that | |
| TestDriven IT Group will cover only half of my travel costs. The interview went well, I wasn’t hired so | |
| I traveled back to my home country through the snow covered Europe, sent a scan of the tickets to the | |
| recruiters upon my arrival and waited for the reimbursement to come. |
This simple script will take a picture of a whiteboard and use parts of the ImageMagick library with sane defaults to clean it up tremendously.
The script is here:
#!/bin/bash
convert "$1" -morphology Convolve DoG:15,100,0 -negate -normalize -blur 0x1 -channel RBG -level 60%,91%,0.1 "$2"
| def fvschedule(principal=1.0, schedule) | |
| total_return = principal | |
| schedule.each{|x| total_return*=(1+x)} | |
| return total_return | |
| end | |
| def annualized_return(period, schedule) | |
| ann_return = 0 | |
| schedule_length = schedule.length | |
| if schedule_length/Float(period) > 1 |
