Yes, that is exactly what we do. Create an event far in the future and attach a hangout to it. We then use a URL shortener to give it an easier URL.

(Author, here) Regarding #1 and #2, I have to say that one of the most surprising things about Google Hangouts is that they've really make it easy to... hang out! It's pretty standard on Fridays (or during the week) to kick back for an hour

Stack Exchange (Stack Overflow) barely made it out. We are in the same datacenter but we just finished building out and testing a secondary datacenter in Oregon literally last weekend. We did an emergency failover last night after the dat

There's a Stack Exchange for that! http://askpatents.com/ Just ask them as separate questions.

This is taken completely out of context. He was referring to a fake stock market for conference attendees at http://secondmarket.com where Stack Overflow "closed" at something ridiculous like $365/share

Whoops, looks like it's just going by the order you're displaying them in (assuming you'd show newest first). Will fix soon...

The ranking is based on visitors, not page views. Based on the graphs posted a few weeks ago at http://imgur.com/a/haHHz , it looks like you have about 2.8 million unique visitors per month to SO's 8.6 million in Quantcast

Within 4 minutes you received the correct reply: http://meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/54264/search-doesnt-... "how" and "to" are stop words, so they're stripped from your search. In the tag box on the create new question form it tells

Since the formula is based on number of days worked, I've always assumed that they just use the same formulas for themselves (and they get a lot more because they've worked at Fog Creek much longer than anyone else), but I guess I've never

I work at Fog Creek, and this is just incorrect. Profit sharing is a simple formula known to everyone in the company, so you can easily figure out how much everyone made in profit sharing at the end of the year. Honestly, I know it sounds

The article linked as the source ( http://www.carrotmuseum.co.uk/history5.html ) actually says that the William of Orange story is probably apocryphal: "Though the stabilised orange carrot does date from around seventeenth century Netherla

I have to say that this talk played out basically exactly like pg's "List of N Things" article ( http://www.paulgraham.com/nthings.html ). In particular, these quotes seemed apt: "a few main points with few to no subordinate ones, and no p

Anything in particular? As Joel said, this is mostly a beta testing site, but feedback on the colors would be useful for picking some nice preset color schemes.

by df07 17y ago
It's partly the framework, and partly because Joel threw this together on a Friday afternoon. The only thing customized on this site is the colors and the logo, but you can also add blocks of HTML in a bunch of places where ads are usually

It is planned, but not implemented yet. We're also still gauging interest. https://developers.fogbugz.com/default.asp?W133

I agree this is one of the sillier Hungarian notation conventions, but with that said it does help with a couple things. First, I can look at the file CBug.was and know it contains a class, vs util.was which contains global utility functio

Interesting. We actually put a lot of work into making this easier in FogBugz 7. Now all we need is your name, email address, and a password. That was still too much?

While this may be true, I didn't really get that from the article. It sounded like the system was largely a success, except that they set the maximum level at their highest-ranked people and stopped. Those people got frustrated because th

As a Fog Creek employee, I can attest that the profit sharing at the end of the year is a pretty big incentive to work harder. Also see http://www.joelonsoftware.com/articles/fog0000000070.html for a discussion of why Joel doesn't want to
