I posted my experience with them elsewhere here ( http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3678767 ) but it was basically the exact opposite of your's - extremely unprofessional the whole way.

I was contacted by a recruiter from Riviera Partners recently. Stupidly, I thought that it might be beneficial to respond to them. After not receiving a call from him at our scheduled time, I emailed him. He responded three days later telli

I envision this being used a lot more if you can embed it in the sidebar (perhaps via RES?).

Uh, yes.

As has already been discussed in numerous places, Google, Facebook, Amazon and even Microsoft have broken P3P implementations in several places. That's hardly "shady warez sites". I love you you jumped straight to that conclusion, though. S

Second this. A "project course" is a required part of the CS curriculum where I attended college, and that's almost always not the only project course you'll take. I did one every quarter for three years.

Out of curiosity, did you ever check out DiveBoard? ( http://www.diveboard.com/ ) I haven't used it that much (2011 was a busy year for me), so I don't have much experience with it, but it looks nice.

Just curious, how has reddit abused AWS?

You've always been able to easily modify the grid size just by changing the less stylesheet.

My name is Alex Zylman and I'm a senior studying Computer Engineering. I'm finishing up my last year in school and I'm looking for some remote contract work to wile away my free time. I interned for Google last summer and I've got significa

Let's link to the prettier version of Groups instead of the old, out-dated one... https://groups.google.com/a/dartlang.org/forum/#!topic/misc/...

Groups doesn't track which articles you read, even if you're signed in.

This. I was really confused as to what was happening.

The author doesn't seem to realize that response bodies can exist for anything other than a 200 response. He says he uses Django almost exclusively. I've never used Django - is this perhaps a weakness of Django? As far as passing options in

Ars Technica ( http://bit.ly/rxK9jR ) has much clearer coverage of this article than TheNextWeb does: "Motorola approached Apple in 2007, after the launch of the original iPhone, to license this and other standards essential patents for FRA

They are available to licensing. Motorola offered to license them to Apple under FRAND terms and Apple refused (said the terms weren't good enough) and used them without a license. This is not the first time Apple has been sued for this - i

I read Design Patterns and was unimpressed. Maybe it's because I'm used to large codebases that are already well designed, but all I got out of Design Patterns was formal names for patterns that I already used in my code because they're int

Was very hard for me to read, too. The text looked pixellated, like it had chunks missing. It was fine after I zoomed in. (Also Chrome)

Yeah, I didn't mean to imply that it was the author's fault, I was just flabbergasted by the assertion that it was a lot of work to make a GAE application scalable. Really, it's only the author's fault if he posted this link. I did like the

You don't need to "design massive scaling and redundancy features into hobby projects" to be prepared for high bandwidth in App Engine. You basically just need to check the box to tell App Engine to charge you when you go over quota instead

I stopped reading when I got to the 6x2 Android vs iOS comparison. In order: The first one appears to make the argument that since the background images are similar colors, Android copied. But they're both nature scenes (one day, one night)

That was what stuck out to me from this, too... sounded like "nyanyanyana, I found a critical bug in your product - but I won't tell you what it is"

Came here to say this, only I don't work for Microsoft. He takes you guys' research that says most people use it from the context menu and uses that to say that it should continue to be that way. It's like, since when are companies not allo

Second this. It also means I can't set up a quick search in Chrome. That's the only thing preventing me from using this all the time.
