Yes, Firefox memory usage grows without limit over time; but to be fair, so does Opera's. Opera's growth is just less. (These comments tempered with "YMMV".)

I thought it was very common practice to have a [paid] probation period, where the company is free to keep someone or let them go. Usually the period is less than 6 months. That seems a sensible approach to making sure your hiring decisio

It is a cohesive piece of work; they care about appearances (compare default look of Firefox and Opera -- world of difference); it has nearly all of what I need out of a browser (only thing missing is Firebug); it allows MDI (child windows)

Am I the only one that thinks the original author's use of the term cohesion is wrong? I thought the goals were: high cohesion and loose coupling. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cohesion_(computer_science) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cou

How about this instead: I should remain humble, always open to the possibility that I could be wrong, or my work could need improvement; use reason, logic and critical thinking to assess feedback objectively.

If it works in Opera, then it is too CPU-heavy on this older machine. I don't understand what it is, and can't interact with it.

This article showcases that a critical component of attaining fluency in a language is immersion. Many linguists insist that language cannot be separated from culture. Another important ingredient in language learning is practicing output

If someone is already shoulder surfing, wouldn't it be easier to look at the hands and keyboard than at the colour bars and asterisks?

It seems to rely on jQuery, so a Firefox plugin, greasemonkey script, or Opera userjs would need to bundle or src jQuery. Whether or not that is okay I will leave on the table for debate and discussion. :)

Sorry for being dense, but although the clicking and prediction and word selection are just fine, I don't understand how this is used to actually type anything _into_ any place else? I couldn't select the typed text by dragging my mouse, o

I don't have a problem with this thread's title, but I have noticed that a non-negligible number of HN titles of late have been poorly chosen (i.e. fail to convey the gist of what is being linked to).

Or perhaps ask them to use version control and check in the code after each little step of the design or development.

While I can't really argue with the points made (though perhaps the exhaustiveness of the list is debatable), the quality of the English significantly diminishes my opinion of the article. Incorrect use of or failure to use indefinite artic

FWIW: http://www.numberempire.com/equationsolver.php says -1/4. It will only give 11/3 if you explicitly put parentheses: (x-3)/(x-1)=(x-4)/(x-5) . So I believe Bing's result is correct. Based on elementary school order of operations,

That's not anti-social bookmarking. This is anti-social bookmarking: http://sm.purepistos.net/about I went from browser bookmarks, to Delicious, to exploring (Magnolia, Simpy, etc.), to Diigo, to Selfmarks. A couple hundred bookmarks la

I think anyone heavily involved in a not-too-unknown open source project can get this experience, via mailing lists, forums, issue trackers, IRC channels.

Not really an article I'd mark as worth reading, but a little bit of ++ for daring to post something remotely to do with spirituality or religion.

Well, honestly, after going years trying to change myself with "decisions" or willpower, I eventually allowed myself to receive the graces that God has been offering. I put "Be perfect as your heavenly Father is perfect" together with "ask

I do this a lot, too. I guess this is like "Just type in the AOL keyword, and boom , you're there!", except it's Google keyword. :)

I somewhat disagree. It is _difficult_ to change certain aspects of yourself. If it were so easy, everyone would do it; nobody would be lazy, nobody would procrastinate, nobody would be addicted to any substances or have bad habits. Nobo

I love my Model M keyboard(s). The sticker on them says Copyright 1984! Unfortunately, I've had to discontinue use of them at my workplace because the keyboard only has a PS/2 connector, and when using a PS/2-USB connector, it had too man

Is that like how we "need" to search for: "flickr photo sharing", "wikipedia encyclopedia", "facebook social networking", or "youtube video sharing"? I think it's better to name your software or site (or company?) something that can be sear
