I'm building an HTML 5 app as a side project right now, and I intend to target mobile with it, in addition to browsers. I'm a professional web developer, so it makes sense for me. There are a few wrappers that will translate HTML 5 calls t

Could your comments have been on posts later marked dead? I see one comment from you still available from 90 days ago (I have showdead on so I'd be able to see if you were hellbanned). I'd wager it's either that many of your comments were

Perhaps the CSRs use the email to pull up a history of previous chats, and by using a "new" email they can avoid the new CSR knowing about the previous ones?

The comments on the article itself (not here) make me sad. It almost immediately devolves into a language war. Why is it that some people always have to find something to complain about? I bet a conversation with the author of this arti

Wouldn't that destroy the muscle memory involved in learning / remembering where the keys are on your soft keyboard? Nonetheless, if you believe you could make this work, why not do it yourself?

My situation is much the same, minus the sports. It makes finding a cofounder quite difficult when the standard advice is to use friends you have known for a long time.

I know if I saw something like that explanation on the page asking for CC details, I would be much more likely to acquiesce. If you, say, offered a refund if someone emailed requesting one within a week(?) of their paid term starting, it w

Another anecdote for you: I'm posting this from Debian running on an iMac. (I gave OS X a good try for about a month when my work got these boxes, but I'm far more efficient with Linux.)

I think it means that looking at the reference materials is quicker than just "throwing stuff at the wall and seeing what sticks", or at least, that's how I interpreted it. It's highlighting that the library trip is more efficient. I coul

Assuming it's for a developer position, why would you continue the interview if they failed FizzBuzz?

You should make sure the clause protects your right to work on side projects on your own time, using your own equipment, without having to assign it to the employer. Most clauses will have this built-in; if yours doesn't, you should contac

I'd love to (I'd mostly want to talk about the feasibility of my startup idea) but I'm stuck in the Cleveland area. Looking forward to your book.

The fact that other organizations also make dick moves does not negate this dick move.

Nice! This is very encouraging to me as I'm also working on an HTML 5 app that I plan on using with CocoonJS to distribute as a native iOS / Android app, in addition to the web version. Have you looked at mobile HTML 5 "players" like Coco

I'm not the biggest fan of Microsoft Windows but I realize it has its place. Is one of those places, though, really on mission critical medical devices, and if so, what advantages does it provide over the alternatives, such as a hardened o

On this concept, does anyone know if there's a model for early release of a mobile app, or does that pretty much have to be a big-bang release? My app will probably be freemium with many social options and tie-ins, so I'm not sure how to "

Don't open source it without the employer's OK or disclaimer-of-copyright-interest. You don't want to be sued for disclosing trade secrets (which, if they claim the application, could very well be what they consider it). While they would
