I think part of the problem in Ireland is the government are now touting internships as a solution to our unemployment/economic problems. In some case, they might work out where there's real training and some level of compensation. It's pro

It looks like an improvement over the alpha but it's still pretty horrible to use on iOS + iPhone 4: Click a link... loading message appears. Wait. Loading message disappears. Pause. View scrolls to the top. User is now totally lost & c

I work at a large multinational software company where distributed teams have been encouraged across all projects. I live in Ireland and work in/for a U.S. team. Many of the U.S. team also work from home. Recently the edict came down that w

You're totally on the right track. It's not an all-or-nothing thing. Excluding suspect accounts from @-replies and hashtag search results is a nice low-key way to keep the majority of conversations going. It's also subtle enough that the sp

Your work twitter account tweets the same link over and over again? That's pretty odd and frankly doesn't sound like a good use of twitter. But @-replying or tweeting the same link to different hashtags? Spam, spam, spam!

It would require more than 30secs thought but I'm sure there are some heuristics which will work. I'm not even convinced the "report spam" button is connected to any action on twitter's server. And why not use blocking as an indicator? Sure

I think there's definitely potential for an arms-race here (just like there was with email spam) but I don't think it's a reason for twitter to not enter the battle at all.

Twitter's inability to deal with spam accounts is quite bewildering. Tweeting the same link over and over again? Spam. Follow hundreds and no one follows back? Spam. A high percentage of blocks/spam reports? Spam. Every tweet contains a lin

As a photographer, and talking to lots if photographers, the number 1 tool is Lightroom (or sometimes Aperture / Capture One). We all own Photoshop but only a very small percentage of images will pass through PS (usually for complicated clo

I sometimes wonder: Of those people who said they'd work less/be happier/live truer etc how would they feel if they really did get to redo their lives with that ethos? Would they regret different things? Would they wished they'd worked ev

You've made this remark twice now. The fact is that Heroku have always been open this sort of scaling (and there's a fork of delayed_job which does autoscaling of workers on Heroku and... it's written by a Heroku employee. It's regularly

I like it (caveat: I'm not the target market) It's simple and doesn't require much interaction from the user. Ideally, I would set the notifications at 1month and 1week as some clients may have purchase orders to be written etc (or for smal

It sounds like an interesting idea with some real problems to solve. I'm not a professional sysadmin so wonder what the current solution is? That would be a great source of information which many people on here could provide. My #1 concern

I've taken a similar approach for a few sites. I'm terrible when given a blank page to start from so a theme provides a good base. If the theme isn't already coded using a CSS framework, I'll usually port the design to Blueprint CSS as it

Although the lack of decent Dojo documentation should put you off. Unfortunately I don't get to make that choice and mostly have to guess / Firebug my way to a solution. Also, Dojo excels at reproducing a desktop-type app which might not be

If childcare costs over half your salary (totally believe it, that's why my wife had to give up work), then even part-time work is going to break-even for you. So really you only need to get 4hrs work done each day (assuming same hourly rat

Not just how your employers treats you but also how much you care about your job. They can shout and scream and tell you to work weekends but if you don't care then you can, at least partially, insulate yourself from that stress. For me, th

We don't write 1's and 0's. Programming is an abstraction. But we still need to pick and choose what abstractions we use and where. Do the benefits of that abstraction outweigh the problems it creates? In the case of HAML (and ECS, grrr...)

They both abstract the programmer from what's actually being produced and I can't help thinking that this is a bad thing. I'm currently maintaining/developing on a 10yo Java project which contains a mix of JSP pages and ECS^-generated HTML

I've been waiting for a decent colour ebook reader. Most of the ebooks I buy are either programming text (ok on a standard Kindle) or photography books (unreadable). I'm not sure if this is the utopian device but there's definitely a market
