It may be easier than small claims or sending threatening letter. Something along these lines happened to me in New York state. I consulted a labor lawyer who pointed out that this was in fact illegal in the state of New York. He actually s

I had an interview that asked me to rate various skills on a 1-5 scale. I think I gave myself a 1 in t-SQL and a 2 in C# even though I had been programming professionally in C# since the .NET beta SDK. I was worried they would pull out some

I'm a bit confused, if the FPS was the issue wouldn't the helicopter shots look like crap as well? Is 48 FPS more optimal for helicopter shots?

The 99cent place on 8th and 41st is great. The turnover is high so the pizza is always fresh out of the oven.

Is this satire? I'm a legitimately confused here. The getting started was about hypermedia and API discovery schemes but didn't say what I could even use the API for.

Something that adds to this is that kudos are mentioned in passing but screw ups are the end of the world. You can service thousands of clients a day but that one that gets pissed ...

I think I have seen this argument before, that X is somehow obscure, in the sense that all those lame workaday cororate drones don't use it, so it must follow that all the most awesome people gravitate towards it. I'm not sure I buy it. Som

I was thinking in terms of the hair salon model. Chairs are paid for by the stylists but they can only do hair, not give tattoos or just use thier chair to sit back and drink beer.

I will do him one better. How about he opens a storefront with locked down machines that do nothing but mechanical Turk and rents them out for 1 an hour. Maybe wow gold farming . Anyone have an concerns about the ethics of this? On one had

One of the VPs at my current company actually won $100 in a best suggestion contest in the office. His suggestion was "garbage cans next to the bathroom door". That is why the man is a VP.

I'm pretty sure every hacker group has gotten this idea at one point or another. Has anyone even come close to taking down all the root DNS servers at once?

I'm going to check this out. I had some issues the last time I tried RubyMine a month or two ago.

•He uses Windows, or if he uses Mac or Linux, it’s without any working understanding of how the system works. Aww. I know he isn't really knocking windows users. But using windows doesn't limit your ability to learn how to program.

Ok, some of this sounds good. Store your docs and your pdfs and you can now read them online. Google can even let you search inside your own files, and even monetize it by showing you ads based on file contents. Dropbox is not a success, in

This is my life. All day. Every day. Along with status checks every 15 minutes. I love it though, every problem is an adventure. I couldn't be one of those dig in for a month and code developers.

I almost feel bad for these guys but I understand why DHH was so pissed. Getting inspiration or even straight up stealing the HTLM and CSS is one thing, but referencing assets on 37signals servers is beyond the pale as 37signals is paying m

I honestly don't know if it g+ will give better results for all searches or even any searches. When I search for "digital camera" the G+ results I get are people I know talking about cameras and sharing links about cameras.I think that is b

Am I the only one that thinks SPYW is the right direction? We have seen that rankings were increasingly being gamed. Algorithmic search is a never ending arms race. SPYW aligns with what google has been trying to do for a while, provide res

I really used to value the internet as a "third space" like a bar, or a club. I don't really want it to become an extension of my work persona. I will adapt I suppose, I have started to make a conscious effort to build a presence under my r

It was a funny meeting. The CEO was a hell of a salesman, he came in with a nalgene bottle and made a big show of taking big gulps while touting his new health initiatives that just happened to include cutting a perk. By the time he left pe

Right, the company I worked for was open about this, they wanted us at our desks. The problem was they had no way of measuring how much productivity gains there really were but they still had a bill every month for the food. When push comes

I worked at a place with free food and this exact thing happened. At first it was order any two meals off seamlessweb.com a day. Then it was order one meal, which meant people ordered enough food for two or three meals once a day. Then ther

I think in a sense it is. Not strictly quantified yet. I was thinking about the adulation or sense of defeat you can get from code reviews. Code is a spectator sport with arbitrary rules that keep changing. Just like Calvinball!

The reaction to VS achievements is kind of interesting, people seem to be taking it seriously, at least as some sort of symbol. Who knows, maybe it is the thin edge of the knife that will lead to the "gamification" of programming. At any ra

I'm really starting to like G+. I added the HN circle so now my stream is full of tech stuff. I may never even add personal friends, just let all the baby talk stay on Facebook.

Well, I am in a cube farm, my "team" is distributed so I am lucky that nobody every sees me. Besides, you ever notice the more important the person the later they come in? None of the SVPs at my company are ever in before noon.

I've had two people quit over just this issue. I signed mine figuring never in a million years would they actually track me down and sue me if I was ever let go. They are getting their ducks in a row for some specific reason. Are they being

I work 11-7. Oddly, everyone thinks you are working your ass off when you send out emails at 7pm and never even realizes you are never around before 11.
