Until recently at work we've use Symfony1. It's going to end of life at the end of this year, and I think we're going to shy away from Symfony2 for now. It's a bit of a mess, I think, and it seems like they're going to correct a bunch of th

Not to really detract from this, but it should be pointed out that the majority of this editor's edits were made using AutoWikiBrowser ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:AutoWikiBrowser ), a tool that automates editing. It's used most

Sorry, but I think I missed something here. First, this article is from last July. Second, it says that it's based on the US law named CALEA. The Wiki article on CALEA says that it covers all VoIP traffic. So.. what's the outrage? That Skyp

Can you (or anyone, really) recommend some places to learn how about how best to do internationalization? It just seems like such an overwhelming topic, and any knowledge on how to best approach it would be most helpful, I think.

I had always heard that here in NYC, it was regulation and monopolization by the larger telcos (mainly TWC) that stopped us from getting higher speeds. The slow rollout for FiOS has reportedly been due to a problem with having to dig up str

I believe the big surge to Reddit was when Digg put up version 4 and a drove off a lot of its members. A lot of the older members of Reddit tend to lament how it went from a decent place to what it is now (reposts, etc.) which is why I thin

Wikipedia may be saving bandwidth, but that's not the real reason they're switching to SVG for logos. They're doing it because SVGs can be more accurate versus a PNG or JPG version, and because it scales much better. Take a look at the temp

Until now I haven't really been able to encapsulate my feelings towards Wordpress, but this hits most of the big points. One can really only do so much with custom post types and custom fields before the question has to be asked if it would

Er, the article says it's just an option that's enabled by default, and that you can disable it if you want.

I'm in the same boat as you. My computer at work is a Mac, and I was unable to use the HTML Validator plugin. The solution is to go to the plugin's forums - http://www.htmlpedia.org/phpBB/viewforum.php?f=11&sid=e9... . One of the guys

Thanks for all your answers here, Joe. Just as a note, you may want to update your profile to reflect that you work on the dev tools.

MythBusters covered this awhile back, and busted the myth: "The final explanation is that, even though the airplanes appear to be well-shielded against cellphone interference, there are so many different electronics in a cockpit, as well as

Here's one that struck me: "Its earlier attempts – Orkut, Buzz, Wave failed." It's true that Buzz and Wave failed, but Orkut is very popular - in Brazil and India. Not being popular in Western countries != failure.

It has to do with how hearing degrades as a person ages. Some places use this to their advantage and install devices that emit high pitches so as to stop teenagers from loitering there. I know the Ikea in Brooklyn has it, for example.

Can you link to the original blog post? I (and some other people, I'd wager) are out of the loop on this one.

According to Wikipedia, you have it reversed: TCBY currently stands for "The Country's Best Yogurt"; "This Can't Be Yogurt" is a former name.

I just started using Songbird on my Mac at work, and I'm actually pretty happy with it. The interface is pretty close to iTunes, for what it's worth, but it integrates with all sorts of other things. Not really sure if it's a serious compet

I wish I could upvote you even more - this is _exactly_ my criticism with the new Reader. The experience of sharing links has essentially split into two parts: I can share items with my friends from Reader to G+, but if I want to see anythi

Not necessarily. You can use Reader now to read documents, but sharing is done through email, or pushed to G+.

Not to be pedantic, but there are some of us who don't use Twitter but still want to follow tweets (e.g. in Google Reader). It's possible to get an RSS feed of tweets through the Twitter API: http://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/user_timeline

I think the title needs to be changed to reflect the gist of the post: that for _startups_, recruiters are probably a waste of time. For a more established organizations, recruiters tend to work, I think.

Based on the arguments presented here, I agree that using the contexts that users set up in G+ makes sense. Having said that, I think the part that isn't clear to everyone (well, myself anyway) is whether things will be "pulled back out of

Right, I get that. So when they say they're going to retire "friending, following and shared link blogs", presumably that means that the link above will no longer exist. My question, then, was whether or not we'll still be able to share wit

by gchucky 15y ago
Yeah, that's what they're pushing everyone towards: "you can sign up for Google+ right now to start prepping Reader-specific circles". My bigger concern is the disconnect in sharing. Are they turning Reader into a one-way service, in that y

nathanb said that he doesn't want to share on G+, but is fine sharing _within_ Reader. It's the idea that they're combining the two together. I'm in nathanb's boat - I share articles with people within Reader, but I don't want those to be p
