My experience as a young person who has worked on COBOL and has worked for a very large "soul-sucking" bank is that they fired or forced out all of the older developers who knew how the system worked years ago. No one who's left really unde

Just to get some other opinions out there.. It would be nice if it responded more for large screens instead of only handling the small ones, but I love the look of the site.

Actually the spike is in 2010-04. I don't know that it's really related, but Drupal began switching from CVS to Git in 2010-03. I know a lot of people (myself included) looked at Git for the first time because of that.

Well it doesn't just support 3G. The Nexus 4 runs HSPA+ 42 (basically non-LTE 4G) which is available in Australia, Europe, Asia, Africa, and on Tmobile in the US. My Tmobile HSPA+ is actually faster than most home internet connections in my

Dart was actually created by the guys who created V8. They gave a great interview about it in episodes 8[1] and 8.1[2] of Javascript Jabber. 1: http://javascriptjabber.com/008-jsj-v8-and-dart-with-lars-ba... 2: http://javascriptjabber.co

JustBeamIt is great, but why are you posting this again now? A Lifehacker article[1] about it was posted a year ago, and you even posted it on HN[2] a year ago. 1: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3116057 2: https://news.ycombinator.

This is actually a feature that used to exist before Netflix took it away, and now they're lobbying to implement a worse version of it.

Why would you limit how many models people can add to a free account? You're basically telling people not to share. If I'm paying for a Pro account but hit 101 models, my only option is to shell out 14 times more money for a Business accoun

FYI, the animations look great to me in Chrome 22 on a year-old Dell laptop. The font size is smaller than I would have used, but I wouldn't describe it as "unreadable". There are some other big problems, though. They've obviously never hea

I'll bite. It's possible that you have worked on more projects than are listed on Linkedin, but that's what you've offered as evidence of your "good portfolio" and growth as a developer (the reason, I assume, that you keep distancing yourse

If you do a feature comparison between Gmail and a 1998 version of Outlook Express, OE wins handily. I've never used Outlook, but I imagine since it was developed by the same company with much of the same needs and it's a much bigger applic

Semantically, a meaningful class or id shouldn't always need to be qualified by the element type. There are certainly times when you'd want to, though, if the element type changes the meaning. E.g., An e-commerce site that displays products

If your list is that simple, it takes no extra effort to add closing tags (especially if you're using a worthwhile IDE). If your list is more complicated, the closing tags will increase readability while decreasing ambiguity (and again they

Google added the same "feature" to the mobile Reader app and it caused the same problem. It happened to me every time I used it. Solution? I stopped using Reader. Well done, Google.

Chrome 17 added a "feature" that blocks http resources from loading on an https connection unless the user manually approves it every time. Sounds like a good idea, but it broke all sorts of Google sites and widgets because Google violates
