I had an extension a while ago that I was attempting to publish to the Firefox app store and it was rejected on grounds of using eval. I don't remember why I needed to use eval, but basically this is something they do already. I'm

I'm guessing MySQL doesn't support this (hence the need for a cron job), but postgres lets you set a statement_timeout on the connection. It will force kill queries that go beyond that timeout. I worked on an app not too long enou

Do you doubt your skills? Why are you interviewing if you're employed at a good company? I hear this position often when people talking about contract-to-perm, and I just don't see it. If you're good at what you do, and peopl

I noticed a few hours ago that I wanted to listen to a bunch of acts at Coachella that were on different channels. I didn't really want to have to remember to switch, though, so I hacked this together so that I could select all the act

If you visit the Sandlot at Coors Field, you can actually have 'original recipe' Blue Moon. They have a handful of other beers that are only available there, it's a cool spot to check out if you like Blue Moon.

We just gave up on getting our addon into the Mozilla store and distribute it directly via our website. Their process is not worth the hassle. We were rejected because: 1) This version contains binary, obfuscated or minified code. We need
