FWIW, I'm a hiring manager. Build ANYTHING. It's mildly more interesting to me if you build something because you were interested in the problem, but if you take the time to learn a framework (or 3) and build something with it, yo

a) as a hiring manager I consider job hopping having 2 or more jobs of under ~8 months. b) if I interviewed you and you explained the backpacking thing I would wonder and ask why you didn't take a leave of absence or some such, but I w

check out "rightzoom" to give you a kb shortcut for maximize. Also, I agree with you that finder is dumb.

I'd guess they removed it because it was so inaccurate due to people changing their use habit. If I'm just browsing the web my laptop might last for 7 hours, but as soon as I fire up some youtube it drops dramatically.

I have a MBP from 2008 with the original t-shaped magsafe power cord, and its still in perfect working order. Maybe you're harder on you're harder on your power cables than you're giving yourself credit for.

It's my understanding that the larger the insurance company is the better able they are to negotiate lower prices for health care. I can see why doctors might be opposed to that.

I have probably 3-5 drinks per day throughout the day. We have a keg in the office and I enjoy having a beer with lunch, and maybe another in the afternoon. At night I tend to have 2 or 3 drinks. Some evenings more. Every time I recount thi

Yes, when the company was so far in the hole that they were willing to grasp at any lifeline.

In both NC and WI where I work it's true that you own your side projects given the caveats above. I assumed it was most states so I'm surprised to see WA is different.

Dude, you're a programmer. If you're in an organization where this is the norm, go find another job with a more enjoyable environment. There's a million out there for you.

You _need_ to do side projects, and put them on github. As a hiring manager, I'm telling you that people who have a github account with side projects automatically move to the top of the pile.

Consider that the software that switches and connects phone calls is updated as new hardware goes into place and as IP routing takes over. I'm sure there are lulls in the occurrence of these bugs as they're fixed on the dominant d

I had a similar problem when I changed phone numbers. My GV account was still setup for the old number so my calls and texts would go to the guy who got assigned my old number... He was not appreciative.

IOS already has an api by which a web dev can specify what the app icon looks like when the user adds the web page to their home screen. I imagine google would use the same api or something very similar. https://developer.apple.c

Its worth noting that the way that women interact with other women is different than how they interact with men or how men interact with women. IE, Clarissa's experience as a female manager is going to be severely different than yours.

also gmail gave you 5 or more invites so you could invite your friends. Wave should have done the same. It would have allowed small social networks of people to play with it together.

In my last company/startup, when I was more actively involved in the hiring, the best candidate we saw of the 100+ interviewed was 40 yo. He declined the offer because we couldn't pay him enough even though he was _obviously_ wort

Yeah, brew in a bag is awesome.

I LOVE this. Are you going to add a 5 gallon option? Since I've been brewing for a few years, 1 gallon seems sort of pointless.

Don't feel obligated to stay at your current job if it doesn't challenge you. The best decision I ever made was leaving a corporate programming job where I was bored 95% of the time.

Ahh ok. I thought you meant at the OS level.

Combined with node-toobusy, pausing READ events sounds perfect, but I can't figure out how to do that. Can you explain?

by rbrcurtis 13y ago
good feedback, thank you. I'll look into the feedburner issue. We're using the feender library in nodejs which doesnt seem to recognize that as a valid feed, but clearly it is...

by rbrcurtis 13y ago
Yeah, sorry about that. We've gotten some feedback that we need to make the subscription model more clear up front. Please do check out the full set of features though.

if this service ever goes the way of google reader, I promise you I will create a way to export your feeds. :)

sorry, let me respond to your points item by item. layout will save if you create an account. I guess we overlooked the + icon. Create an account, goto "RSS" and you can select groups and then select feeds to go into each group just by sel
