Because you are cutting off part of your potential candidate pool and increasing the chance of choosing someone who has no practical experience other than working on OSS projects. If you can't distinguish the difference between a talen

The most evocative map for me was the bonus one. I could only color in 2 countries (and 1 is my home country). Makes me want to explore the world more.

It 'selects' all the section nodes. That's what .only() is for.

Sizzle is one of the engines we are checking out. Is HTML.js better? No idea. Worse? Same answer. HTML.js is still smaller (a huge factor for me right now) and less 'robust', but that isn't always a bad thing.

For you they must answer those questions. For some (like myself) these are enough. I don't need or want to load all of jQuery unless I'm using more than just DOM selectors and manipulation. The projects I'm working on now a

From having built a few of these, my solution was to add a string to the end of the URL's in the promo material (ads, email, whatever) that, when clicked on, would trigger the coupon code box on the site for that user only. Otherwise y

In a lot of places (in the US) this is illegal. Plus it screws the waitstaff so is bad practice.

Plenty of people who know multiple languages use Javascript every day. Of their own free will. Because they want to. What is it about JS that you find so broken that you have such animosity? I for one know C, Perl, PHP (not just Wordpress e

You are so right. Why try new things and test new ideas. Everything we have is perfect as it is! No need for a car, walking will get you there! We don't need moving pictures, books are fine! Do you even know anyone that works in Javasc

People are by and large visual creatures so it makes sense that they would focus on the GUI rather than the CLI. Though I agree that they were less innovative than I would have liked on the graphical side of things. However when they did &

How did you uninstall? If I remove it from the packages folder it just installs it again.

A better (but still not perfect) analogy would have been that the police cordoned off a section of the store and no one was allowed to take anything from or put anything on the shelves. The store is still open and people can shop but can&#

That's assuming he's drawing this live. Who's to say he hasn't been planning this from Day One and has been drawing the frames all along. I know, it's a stretch but ... what if?

My point is making declarative statements like "If you want to you can" isn't helping because it feeds into the perception that everyone is just being lazy and not trying hard enough. Because sadly, that is the thought process of a vast maj

And there are many that aren't. Don't make the mistake of assuming that just because a few are content that everyone in that position is.

I'm not sure if you are just naive or intentionally contrary. Please, explain to me how a family that can barely afford rent and meals can move 1000 miles away and find work. It's not really that easy to find a new job in a town you've neve

The idea that everyone has time to do 'X' if they only wanted it bad enough is complete BS. For people that work two jobs, have a family to take care of, commute several hours, have a sick spouse and sleep there is no more time in the day.

Freakonomics. Utterly boring (to me) at first, but the more I read the more fascinated I became. So much that I read the second one.

I second the desire for markdown hinting. I've been using this for a while via Chrome for writing and it's very good, very happy that it detects when there is a newer version in Dropbox (don't know about Drive, don't have that connected.

I regularly stay up until after mindnight doing stuff, and up at 6am. I simply don't sleep that much. If I go to bed before that I tend to toss and turn and don't get a lot of sleep anyway so I figure why not be productive. Most nights I'

I saw 1 ad. 1. And he's not selling user information but ad space and sponsored link posts which doesn't flood his site. What exactly are you protesting against?

I tend to think it's more that the majority of the people buying these games are casual users who will try to play, get frustrated and toss it in a drawer and never complain. And won't think twice about buying the next one that looks appeal

They aren't, it's just link bait. Every single one of these can be (and are) done with 'HTML4.x'. Next week it will be because of Javascript or jQuery or the color of the Moon on alternate Thursdays.

How hard would it be to stick a proxy between the game and the servers (on the players machine), capture some data, and configure the proxy to listen for message 'X' from the game and return response 'Y'. If that could be done (by someone w
