Then you're going to love every other Korean website, too.

Typing this response from downtown Seoul, and can confirm that censorship is very prevalent. There are thousands of blacklisted sites -- they are simply forwarded to http://warning.or.kr/ , which reads "This site has b

I spent an embarrassing amount of time scratching that asterisk wondering how my screen got so dirty.

This is absolutely fantastic, and thoroughly technical -- particularly the SPICE simulations. After becoming equally engrossed in designing a "perfect" microphone capsule, I'm tempted to build one myself. This was written 12

Some of these examples are valid and should be common knowledge for all web developers (e.g.: treating CSS semicolons as terminators rather than separators; transitions; unitless values; all [+1]), and some of these examples are a bit ques

It's not different, and I believe that was the point. There is a weird stereotype that I've encountered about Sweden that I wasn't aware of until the first time I lived outside of our country...whenever something like this co

Your assessment of the emerging front-end skillset is spot on. For better or for worse, if js frameworks are here to stay for the next few years (and it seems they are), the programmers who got in early are going to clean up as they are no

You should check out Bourbon Neat: http://neat.bourbon.io/ , or leverage Sass' @extend directive. Your CSS could easily be shortened to: .body { @extend .container; } .nav-header { @extend .row; }

A lot of it has to do with the culture of shame that causes us to posture in the first place. We bullshit because we're afraid of what the other person's reaction will be like. I feel fortunate to work for a company that has a zer

So I currently live in Tennessee near where the incident took place (the vehicle owner is a relatively well-known spinal surgeon in Nashville) and I can tell you that the interstates in this part of the country are relatively desolate and d

The company I work for has 33 employees, 16 of which are developers. We have the choice to work remotely. We use GitHub for code, Google Docs/Drive for document storage, and email, IM or Google Hangouts for communication - haven't

This is not a rant, because it's the truth. To outsiders, this attitude seems hyper-negative because it's difficult to comprehend the level of ineptitude found in federal government IT. As a non-national who has done some (very no

Ah, I think you may be right on that one. Perhaps more accurately we could say he was just acting Scandinavian. :)

Geographically, sure. Culturally - not at all.

As a Swede, it seems to me he's just acting Swedish.

It probably doesn't, at this point. In fact, I bet they're probably trying to figure that out right now, and likely know already. I think the line "...and this is just the beginning." is very telling. Premium recipes or

While I was playing I was thinking "It would be nice if they tracked the sequence in which answers were selected." On several questions, I immediately clicked a few that were obvious and then the rest I was like "...and maybe

Another important point to consider is that the future won't be available to everyone at once - money will prohibit that. I wonder at what point will touchscreens become "old fashioned", and I'm sure they'll see (limited) use for long after

Daunting. I made a mistake, and am literally paying for it. It's not that I feel the degree itself was not worth it, but I chose my path poorly. I could have just as well gone to a public school and received an equal or better education tha

Not a joke, but my first language isn't English so I'll own up to the poorly written part. I think I was trying to point out that it seems he copied the actual photographs of the magazines from somewhere because he admits to not owning them

I wonder if the images of the magazines were copyright-protected themselves since it appears he didn't actually access them firsthand.

Can you define 'shiesty'? Not having a go, just haven't heard that word before, and searching returns conflicting results.

I don't think so. More than likely, English is not the author's first language. As a one-time ESL teacher I noticed that students from other cultures often used exclamation points in place of where a native English speaker would have simply

My view scares me, too, but I think you have the right idea: It's a terrible business decision. Much like the Netflix/Qwikster ordeal, I imagine the result to be some sort of mass exodus. Obviously, our use of any application is simply a pr

Technically we _are_ giving our consent by using the service. In fact, we already agreed to the current terms, which state "We reserve the right to alter these Terms of Use at any time." It's not even a classic bait-and-switch. It's clearly

I absolutely agree. My last and current employer both offer unlimited vacation. For whatever psychological reason, I find myself taking less vacation than I did when I was _earning_ it at my McJob for the rate of 6.33 hours every month. If

This is an entirely valid point - not sure why you're being downvoted. I recently participated on a project with a client whose product name was synonymous with an alternate spelling of a rare skin disease. We brought up our concerns about
