Hmmm... maybe I should have been clearer and more explicit about the fact that there are times when you ignore the script entirely. Companies that are known to pay top of market... Like you're not going to hammer Facebook or Netflix by

Hey! Thanks for your feedback. I would love to try and understand what you're saying but I'm struggling a little. Can you explain what you mean by "There is a time and place for in-house recruiters and third party recruiters

I looked at the JS over here http://codebase.es/riffwave/riffwave.js and find this line this.dataURI = 'data:audio/wav;base64,'+FastBase64.Encode(this.wav); (edit... more accurately the whole RIFFWAVE function blows my mind) Rea

Could this ban not be bypassed if people knew the IP address megaupload was hosted on? How was it taken down? Just DNS or soemthing else?

yeah - that was way too small for me. I had to zoom a lot. For a small project like this it's sort of a "who cares" decision, but I'd hate for that size to be a design "norm".

I agree with you 100%, and from an educational and learning theory perspective that's the way to go. Something that is engaging, interesting, exciting and cool is highly motivating and therefore has a much greater chance of being able to "

There are two sides to that story. There's quite a bit going on that has been left out. England's school system really doesn't work in a way that teachers can just hand out whatever grade a student "deserves". The kid was handed a syllabus,

Worse than that, difficult courses have much lower pass rates and scores. Teaching them is risking your standing on the league tables. It also precludes your ability to teach the 4 credit GCSE in ICT which (at my last school) got a 100%

Thanks so much for this! The graphs are exactly the kind of "conceptual flow" I like to have to give me a 1000 meter view of what's going on.

I'd like a simpler explanation of how it all works. With colorful flow charts and graphs. I'm really interested in how it compares to what express does. How is it the same, how different? However since I'm reading this from the office

I thought they were going to be posting videos of the lectures... but when I logged in today and couldn't see the it anywhere. Did I misunderstand something? Is it posted? If yes, where?

My take on that article is that the fact that node is written in "blub" could equally be seen as an advantage. Popularity will also mean a broad based skill set ready to work for you when it comes hiring time. Of ever developer who's worked

I remember watching that video. It was a while back when they first launched the "moderator" features on youtube. Wish I could hunt for it now, I think it was under his "vloggity" account. At the time he was also talking a lot about launch

I hunted around for a few things like "node.js", "Php", "True Blood", "Harry Potter", etc... they all fit within the same pattern you noted. (with minor, or not-unexpected variances) My favorite was "Maple Syrup"

I love the concept but have two gripes. 1) the text "line in" for reading comes in too slow. I want the whole text up on the screen in a flash so I can concentrate on reading. I usually either find I'm faster than the "line in" animation

Excellent points and I agree completely. They're also already in pretty deep with respect to privatization. Since (at least one of) the curriculum publishers and standardized testing boards (eg: Edexcel http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edex
