You can supply just your password hash if you want, and if you supply the raw password, it's hashed client-side via Javascript before being sent to the server. Test it out with firebug and a dummy password if you're not keen on wading throu

A big part of a successful "full" distributed team are the tools and processes that are developed and implemented. When you work in a shared office space with the rest of your team, a lack of structure and organization is much more tolerabl

As a frequent conference attendee and speaker, a lot of the points that this post enumerates resonate with me. Our profession seems to have a love affair with conferences, and it's been getting worse year after year. I believe a large part

Okay, from the GI point of view I see what you're saying. I thought you were referring to the satiating effect of fats vs other macronutrients from the phasing of you're initial response; please forgive my knee jerk reaction. It depends on

You should be consuming about 3 liters of liquids (not necessarily water) per day for an average male: http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/water/NU00283 This is highly variable, of course. If you go out an run a 45 minute 10k, then you're

The problem with this approach is that you're not really getting much valuable nutrition from what you're eating. 1. Water: Drinking water is, of course, necessary, and quite a few people don't actually hydrate enough during the course of a

To be fair, I wasn't put in a jail like the author was; I was sequestered in a very small room, door closed, and asked rapid-fire questions by two CBP agents for 2+ hours. I was telling the truth the whole time, which is why they ended up l

As someone who, up until recently, traveled to the United States on a regular basis (I'm Canadian), this doesn't surprise me at all. The author basically committed every mistake in the book. Generally, every question that the CBP agent will

I share an office with the VM Farms team, and I can confirm that this setup works even better than you'd expect. Not having to organize how you sit and face the monitor that's running Skype (or whatever) is quite convenient.

It depends quite a bit on what the terms are. I spent a few years doing consulting/contracting for early to mid-stage startups, and every one of them had slightly different terms. Most startups in my experience, however, prefer to have full
