Reading the example code I learned enough to become interested in vanilla javascript. Although satirical in tone, I found it insightful. It lead me to question the necessity of using jQuery for every project.

Yeah! Was it done in Emacs artist-mode by any chance?

I like the new navigation and layout better because I can find everything in one large column. Before I had to scan both up/down and right/left because of the multi-column layout.

What would be the use case for this? Can it record a users browsing session?

Nothing, just an explanation of what I meant by estimate.
546.
by reedlaw 14y ago
Clients sometimes want an estimate of how long a single feature or fix will take, even when it will take only 15 minutes. The communication overhead and time spent estimating easily outweigh the time to implement.

This is why I agree with the original article over these comment parents. I work in a small software agency for clients who would never grasp the Cone of Uncertainty. They are much closer to the pointy-haired boss type than the type of pers

His blog is nearly unreadable on my non-retina display. I can only imagine how small the font looks on a Macbook Pro.

At a hotel where they are supposed to register for you it might take 2 minutes. But in my experience it takes anywhere from half a day to a week in smaller city. Half a day is the minimum because you get directed from one place to another a

Who actually likes getting magazines from the cable company or car dealerships foisting other services? Isn't there room for a different kind of business model? Vimeo is a good example. Unlike Youtube, Vimeo doesn't advertise and charges

Since I've been downvoted without a response, let me elaborate on my concerns. I haven't seen the threat of application specific passwords (ASP) addressed properly. If an ASP is sniffed or somehow extracted from a device it seems like it's

That's exactly why I don't use 2-factor. It's only as secure as a single complex token. I use a password manager with complex passwords. I fail to see the added security of enabling 2-factor in this case.

I use watch to help me find repositories I'm interested in, but don't necessarily want to see notifications about. Watched repositories are autocompleted when you begin typing a name in the search field. So starring looks useful to me.

I don't see the connection. Should we avoid every open source project that was abandoned by one of its leaders? I think each spec/project should be evaluated according to its own merits rather than summarily judged based upon actions of cer

Personally I'm not sure how effective loyalty cards can be. I prefer to shop places where the perceived prices are reasonable over shops that offer big discounts through loyalty programs (e.g. Trader Joe's vs. just about any supermarket cha

With Steam on Linux there will be more pressure for GPU vendors to clean up their drivers mess.

It makes sense, but it seems like they're holding cheap bait in front of you to get you to be more public with your information. I deleted my Facebook account over loss of privacy. Hope I don't have to do the same with this one.

Haven't used it in a long time, but now it seems more and more like Facebook to me. I followed a link on the homepage that said "X people have view your profile" and then I get a dialog asking me to change my profile from anonymous to visib

This is satire, right?

True, but it's not a competitive advantage in this age of countless social networks to ask for $50 before launch. And to overcome the bias towards non-paid services there will have to be some serious advantages. If it's just Twitter with a

Am I correct that App.net is to Twitter what Vimeo is to Youtube? That is, a paid service with no ads. If so, why not just launch the service like any other web company? They can bootstrap with paying first customers. As a web developer mys

Which candidates have been hit by this? The "music" in the campaign video was Obama singing. If I were posting such a video I would not automatically expect it to be hit by a DMCA takedown.

Most of the costs you mention are amortized over the lifetime of a product. Not only that, but their true costs are nearly impossible for outsiders to discern. Manufacturing costs are a good indicator of what margin is possible in a mass-pr

I applaud his courage, but leaving a job for $115.73 per week seems a bit risky. Maybe if this concept was combined with something like Kickstarter it would be more effective. E.g. you create an open-source project and pledge to continue de

I appreciate your analysis of the free-to-play games becoming more and more abusive. But I've long preferred buying quality games over free games with up-selling. Eventually many people will come to realize that games that prey on addiction

I don't think you are responding to the grandparent's argument. He's not saying no one would buy it, but that it will be very hard to deliver on the promise of a $100 console. The weakness of the processor is the least of his worries.
