Assign copyright to the company. Also, everyone's being a just a little cautious here, AFAIAC. Make a killing with your business, don't haggle over code ownership.

For the Rails community, there's a compass framework for html5boilerplate: https://github.com/sporkd/compass-html5-boilerplate It's not up to the v1.0 release, but it'll get you most of the way there.

I thought that might be the case, but I figured I had already hit my limit on parenthetical phrases, so I didn't bother investigating.

From the article, it's not so much the TLS protocol that allows SSL on virtual hosts, it's specifically the Server Name Indication (SNI) TLS extension. And every major browser version supports SNI except IE6 (arguably not major anymore) and

Meh. Good for them, but fawning over these guys is like aspiring to be the next Michael Jordan, Bill Gates, or Warren Buffet. The startup media focuses too much on the outright winners instead of... I don't know... not failing?

See my unrefactored-ruby-from-two-years-ago solution. https://github.com/listrophy/lazy_ncaa It's pitifully simple... it just uses the historical probability of seed A beating seed B in round C. Going into the Elite 8 last year, it produc

Neat, but kinda overkill to send it on every request. If you're doing Rails (as the article is), try out pig ( https://github.com/bendyworks/pig ) and go to /revision on your site. does not work with heroku since they strip the .git folde

Nice easter egg. Wonder what else is there...

Wow, I got blasted on this comment. So, there was a reason why I didn't start spouting our exact LOT/LOC ratio: I have no idea what it is. No one at our office does. That's not the important part. My point is that, on average, one test per

I turned down Microsoft when they recruited me in college. Wow, what a great decision. Now, I run a software firm where no one has an office, everyone pairs (including owners and interns), we have a /slightly/ better ratio than 1 test per 1

One of my friends started https://www.entrustet.com/ a few years back. Looks like it's effectively the same service as LifeEnsured.

Another option is FreeSWITCH, an open-source telephony platform with development led by a Barracude Networks guy. I only learned about it yesterday, so I can't make a recommendation. http://www.freeswitch.org/

To put it in math terms, TDD/BDD gives you output = C1*(e^t-1) while non-TDD/BDD gives you output output = C2*log(t+1) That is, you get better speed at the beginning without TDD/BDD at the cost of slower output as the codebase

I specifically asked my devs to keep a completely neutral point of view. There is some novelty that puts it on hacker news: it shows how a tech like WebSockets can shed light on the enormity of an event.

It's actually using WebSockets, so the tweets are being pushed, not polled. The pause button isn't the best interface, but the idea is to show the ridiculous number of tweets coming out of Madison.

Indeed, without going into orbit, a vomit comet would be the best. Even if you dropped the phone from the tallest building (assuming it would be tall enough, which it isn't), the phone would soon register more-than-microgravity acceleration

@ktsmith: I wasn't trying to imply that you were providing legal counsel. In addition, we don't change our policy on the whim of our accountant/lawyer... I just don't recall the proper protocol. With a moment of clarity, I do recall our emp

Unless you're a lawyer providing counsel, I'm quite certain we're solid. That's not to say I'm right... I'm just fairly confident. We send out the necessary W-9s and everything. Effectively, our candidates are freelancers until we hire them

We're pretty young, so we haven't had too many candidates get to the interview phase... we've "dropped" one out of 5 candidates. You have to impress us to get to the point of spending a week with us. As far as the "unemployed" part goes, th

Standard practice at my company: interviewees pair with a developer for a week before being offered a job. Preferably, over the week, you'd switch pairs at least once or twice. If we don't hire you, we pay you as a contractor for your time.
