I think the last point about your best chance for getting a good salary being during the interview is a pretty good one. Salary increases tend to be considered in relation to your current salary, not in relation to your value to the company

Ruby has a little different mentality (duck typing), for example both of the following work: "10".to_i #=> 10 10.to_i #=> 10 I can see how dynamic typing, lack of interfaces, etc. can seem to cause a bunch of confusing to

Hmm, I feel like having a marketplace for ideas is like having a marketplace for glasses of tap water.

This reminded me of something that happened to me the other night: a friend handed me what looked like a rum and coke (but was actually a Trappist beer) and said "try this". My first reaction was one of revulsion, because my brain was expec

The 3DS screen is closer to one of those lenticular "3d" things you'd see on a ruler or a bookmark as a kid. It uses two interlaced images that are fed to each eye separately. The iPad 2 screen is just a normal screen. http://loot-ninja.co

Just a random thought, but have you considered graphing the order in which invite codes are used (or attempted)? I'm curious what the optimal strategy would be to try to get one (start from the top, start from the bottom, start from the mid

You could say the same thing about all the people who settle with the RIAA then.

This is more about people not knowing how to use advanced search techniques to solve problems than it is about people being reliant on search and their problem-solving skills suffering as a result.

I can't tell you how happy I am that there is finally a placeholder image service that will serve up different images of the same size on a single page. Just add a query string: " http://lorempixum.com/230/180/fashion?#{rand(10000)}

That sounds about right. I will make a small suggestion to the OP: if you think the interview went well, try to shoot for something at the higher end or slightly above. Even if you don't get it, you'll probably still get a good counter-offe

It's a good reason to start looking around, even if only to get an offer you can use to get a raise. It's not about being greedy, most companies will pay you the minimum amount you'll work for, or close to it. If your salary is that far bel

I think that's the way to look at it. You have to remember that Twitter is at a completely different level of traffic than your company will likely ever hit, even if it becomes hugely and wildly popular . It's like looking at Google's serv

You're using it with Apache or Nginx though, right? Or were you able to get them working with Passenger Standalone?

I used to work at a porn company, so I'm not saying this out of any kind of prudishness, but I think porn on work computers is probably pretty bad (unless it's part of your job or you work from home, I mean). I don't mean clicking on those

From my experience developing for both iOS and Android, it's because iOS users expect your app to look good, or they won't use it. Apple just sets a higher bar, both because of Apple's own apps and the approval process, and developers cod

tptacek has a good point that you shouldn't just trust any old curl-based install, but I think that really applies to any install of any kind. I think you have to consider the source of any software package, it's not something specific to t

If you haven't already, open Console.app, show the log list and there's a set of Pow logs in there. It might help out.

Or, you could NOT muck about in ~/Library/Application Support/Pow/Hosts, .powrc, and .powenv, and just symlink your app directories into ~/.pow, which is probably how 99% of developers will use it.

I mean yes, it does take a whole minute to verify that the pow code repo is on 37signals' GitHub organization account and that the repo references http://pow.cx . Although I suppose it is possible that 37signals' GitHub account was hacked
