Happy to help.

Despair.

> 2)   Which version of Asp.Net MVC have you used

The wrong one.

> 3)   Explain MVC in general

The 'model' is your database connection.  This never works.  The 'view'
is what displays error messages to the user.  The 'controller' is what
allows the user to send injection attacks to your datastore.

> 4)   Which version of the .Net are you most familiar with

3.5, unless your organization has money, in which case 4.5 and above.

> 5)   Explain why you would use an outer join vs an inner join

An outer join is used when you don't clearly understand your search
algorithm.  An inner join is used when you got your data structures
wrong.

> 6)   Can you explain the request Flow in Asp.Net MVC

Sure!  It goes like this:  request-> collection -> base -> handlergetter
-> handler -> controllerfactory -> controller -> actionrunner -> filter
-> action -> result -> exception -> 500 error.

> 7)   Explain Dependency Injection

This is what we call passing arguments.  

> 8)   Why would a developer choose to use EF

So that we don't have to know how to look up the arguments we want to
pass.  

> 9)   What is the difference between Javascript and jQuery

Nothing.  There is no such thing as javascript; it is an archaic term
for jquery, which is now known as react.

> 10) What are extensions methods

These used to be called 'functions' but that term has been deprecated
both because procedural programming is for squares and those functional
programming kids keep overloading terminology.

> 11) What source control systems have you used

Is this a trick question?  Or are you considering 'github' and 'git' to
be different things?  I don't understand what you are asking.

> 12) Have you gathered systems requirements from clients? If so, 
> please give some details

Clients are the wrong place to gather systems requirements.  Attempting
to interact with clients for any amount of time quickly leads to
injection dependency.  The proper place to gather systems requirements
is the project budget comptroller (to determine scale) and the executive
vice president of sales (to determine scope).

Fingers crossed for the followup interview!

[9fans] Removing a nedmail -c box

2016-11-09 Thread Ingo Krabbe 
Hi,

once I created a mailbox with nedmail

upas/nedmail -c AListBox

to store some mails from mailings lists, I made some error and want to get rid 
of that file again

ls -l /mail/box/glenda/qemu
-lrw-rw-rw- M 23 glenda glenda 0 Nov 10 06:53 
/mail/box/glenda/qemu/L.mbox
alrw--w--w- M 23 glenda glenda 0 Nov 10 06:53 /mail/box/glenda/qemu/mbox

But `rm` fails to remove anything there:

term% rm /mail/box/glenda/qemu/L.mbox
rm: /mail/box/glenda/qemu/mbox: '/mail/box/glenda/qemu/mbox' does not 
exist
term%  rm /mail/box/glenda/qemu/L.mbox
rm: /mail/box/glenda/qemu/L.mbox: '/mail/box/glenda/qemu/L.mbox' does 
not exist
term% rm /mail/box/glenda/qemu
rm: /mail/box/glenda/qemu: directory not empty
term% rm -rf /mail/box/glenda/qemu
term% ls -l /mail/box/glenda/qemu
-lrw-rw-rw- M 23 glenda glenda 0 Nov 10 06:53 
/mail/box/glenda/qemu/L.mbox
alrw--w--w- M 23 glenda glenda 0 Nov 10 06:53 /mail/box/glenda/qemu/mbox

What can I do here?
How do I reverse the effect of `upas/nedmail -c Somthing` ?

Regards
Ingo

Ah, I'm not familiar with those. I ended up buying a fairly old board, but
one I knew would work (for everything) with the plan 9 kernels. I got a
Supermicro X7SPA-H-D525, and while it isn't amazingly zippy (11 sec to
build /sys/src/9/pc) it seems to be fast enough to be a file server.
