Cool idea! I have been going through the dev hiring process currently, and it is a huge pain in the ass to write up a test and email it to everybody, then review the answers and try to keep them straight. It would be great if the interviewe

Harley Nightster (motorcycle). Did a bunch of work to it myself over the last couple months, much like hacking on a project - doing small incremental changes until you get it how you want it. Plus, it gets 50+ mpg and nothing makes the comm

They weren't unaware of the Django project, as their link for 'on using PHP' actually points to django's homepage. Friggin weird.

Some design suggestions... The second 'play' button looks like the css was messed up, positioning the text in weird places all around it. Until I realized it's an image. You should DEFFINITELY clean those up, it looks like an accident. Mayb

Awesome idea... I was just thinking about how great something like this would be. Moving our infrastructure over to EC2 soon, and was going to implement Redis for session storage but was a little worried about having to manage it all myself

Completely agree - the new design of the site doesn't lend itself to mailchimp's "culture" like the old one did. I thought the old site was damn near prefect for what it was!

Cool idea.. I really dig the site design, looks professional yet still light-hearted. As far as suggestions, I was a little underwhelmed with the 'Example Registry' section. Really didn't show a lot of the features you have available. I wou

programming is not about being able to memorize language-specific syntax or function calls. If the book has good exercises, by all means do them - But rarely will you find yourself in a situation where you don't have a book, the internet, e

If you are targeting students, I think it would useful to allow an option location input as well, so they can specify exactly where they are broadcasting from in addition to the geolocation. AKA "University Center" or "123 Science Hall" so

why not use fallback IP-addy based geolocation if the browser's isn't available? And a fallback for no websocket support?

Your experiences and/or preconceptions about what happens in a philosophy class differ greatly from what I experienced in school. Any decent philosophy teacher will present the historically popular responses and then let the class discuss a

Completely agree - I loved philosophy so much in college that I changed my art minor to philosophy. You wouldn't think that CompSci and Philosophy would go good together, but I couldn't be happier with the results. Some of the classes even

Cool new feature. Not too tough to see this coming though. One of the biggest barriers of entry to AWS has always been scaling/deployment. With companies like Cloudkick and Scalr helping to alleviate this, but being somewhat platform agnost

Agreed - but a little transparency on the public front for both Samsung and AT&T would go a long way. I have been on the fence about installing a hacked 2.2 rom on my captivate, but never did because I just had a feeling that the update

im not sure what kind of video streaming you are doing, but for the ammount of data you have you may be better off hosting your site on a low end VM like slice host and then streaming your videos off s3

A platform for people to submit ways to improve the current state of anything they think is sub par, like a school curriculum, bad traffic intersection, poor park maintenance, etc. it could show you suggested improvements near to you, and p

Interesting idea... I agree with revorad - turn autoplay off! If you are worried people won't start the music, have an overlay info popup that points to the play button or something. Also, the first thing I wanted to do when I came to the s

That's a good idea.... Do you think having just a 1 or 2 patron round with some kind of 'tour' aspect (like walk-through help bubbles or something of the sort) would make it easier? Also, do you think that the user interface contributed to

I am of the same opinion. It sure gets the point across that the page is about games. But for how long you can tell somebody spent working on those graphics, they just don't do it for me... I DO dig the trophy with the joystick though.. it'

I agree - I entered a game in the contest and was very worried that it wouldn't hold up to the rest of the entries because mine is very simple in comparison. I tried playing ~12 of them and couldn't believe how complicated many of them were
