It seems that the company would have a higher level of plausible deniability of their screenshots didn't display torrents of material under copyright.

So what's a good score? I got just under 50% and was considered a "Working Practitioner." Not as high as I'd have hoped, but I'm in a hurry to get home.

I do find that I'm not nearly as productive working from home as I am working elsewhere. There are far too many distractions. If I do work from home, the best way for me to get work done is if I'm sitting at my kitchen table, whic

What about working in a public library? The one near me has no problem with someone setting up a laptop for a day, has plenty of plugs, never a line for the bathroom, and provides a quiet working space.

I only really want jQuery core most of the time, and then only because I'm supporting IE7, which does not support ECMAscript 5. It is often simpler to reuse this functionality that people have worked on optimizing across a large number

I like this idea so much that I built something very similar for the web two months ago. It's out there, but I never officially launched it. App looks great, and the idea is great. Good stuff.

I don't know. I got laid off 18 months ago. HR did it to my face (bringing in a small group of people at a time). It sounded almost identical to this, tone and everything. More realistic than parody.

One of the reasons the MS stack gets a bad rap is that it has been adopted by a lot of enterprises and a lot of poor developers. You can write something inefficient in any stack, but it seems like there's a larger proportion of unskill

Supporting IE7 is the worst part of my day job. I end up building new modules in Firefox, making sure they look the same in Chrome, then testing IE7. Then I have to fix all the stuff broken in IE7 and ensure it still looks good on the moder

That is a very broad statement. At the time there seemed like lots of people were very interested in 3D TV. I still know people who are interested in it. The issue lies in that the vocal people here are a minority, just like before. If ther

3D TV did not catch on at home. I'm not sure the mainstream market is ready for this. Personally, when I'm watching a movie I don't want to be wearing a headset the whole time. It also feels like it would serve to make me fee

The real kicker is that while a lot of frontend skills are still valuable and very relevant, it's also a space that's changing rather quickly. People set in older patterns who haven't adapted aren't going to be as valuab

There are a few things I want to know about when looking at job posts: tech stack, target salary, what the company is, and a small list of perks. This will give me an idea of what the office environment is like. I hate it when job postings

According to the article they did not look at the other data in the database until they had a warrant to do so. And they didn't obtain a warrant until a different investigation pointed at a tormail account. That honestly doesn't s

Thanks. The IE dev tools have come a long way. (I still prefer the updated built in Firefox tools, but using the dev tools in previous versions of IE was painful.)

Google’s “People Ops” department kept overall compensation essentially equitable by making sure that lower-paid employees who performed well got higher salary increases than higher-paid employees who also performed well. Serious question,

What's preventing people from simply signing up for Google Maps API for Business then sending your requests that way and returning the results? Thereby spreading out the bulk cost of an API license amongst your customers who have to pa

This doesn't seem like a good idea either, which seems odd for me to say since it was also portrayed as a bad idea in Atlas Shrugged . Essentially if a company has to rely on other companies and cannot do the work themselves if they a

It's the fact that people aren't pleased that helps cause change. Things don't change unless there's something uncomfortable happening that someone wants to stop.

Until we can declare both projects "fuzz clean" we recommend that people refrain from using either of the two projects to process untrusted media files. You can also use privilege separation on your PC or production environment w

They gained a huge asset with Carmack working full time for Oculus. I'd never have been interested in this, but now I am. It's progressing very nicely.

Team leads must work in the team rooms to keep things from degenerating to antics. Why? Why can't we be adults and get the job done? And if we have shown that we get the job done with the desired level of quality in the desired time

I have first hand memories from when I was 2. One of them was my mother getting in a car accident when she was bringing home McDonalds. I didn't really understand what a car accident was and was more concerned about the McDonalds. But

I think if they don't want the word associated with Alcoholic beverages I am pretty sure they are right to ask this guy to cease and desist. The guy also stated in the article that they were completely correct to issue a cease and de

This is a key reason why I feel it's important to be working in technology, especially as a developer. It will take longer before your job is automated away. My wife works in a position that I feel could be automated, and it's sca

Same. I also didn't see a clear sign in button, or understand from the description why I needed to sign in or what functionality that was going to add. I also didn't see a way to direct the nice thing I was writing to a person.

To be clearer, I wasn't just referring to the fact that 'this' refers to an object, but the complexity inherent in the term in JS. You can run into this problem by doing something as basic as using it in a click handler if yo
