I wonder how many front-end people out there currently believe that JavaScript is jQuery and don't have a solid grasp of the language, instead focusing on use of a single library.

I think this is really where the current issue with the extremely wealthy lies. I don't have an issue with anyone accumulating wealth, but I do take issue with people who are able to use that wealth to circumvent the law and increase t

That's crazy. I have two young children, and a mother who often borders, in my opinion, on overprotective. I grew up just fine with privacy and freedom and I would like my children to experience the same.

I don't think you need to think about the question just in terms of your home's physical location. You can ask it about all sorts of things: your job, your general position in life, a meeting you're attending, even the place

It makes more sense for the person you are asking to lie in order to receive a higher offer. I know I've done that before, even at the negotiating table. "I'm sorry, I can't accept this offer. I'm making more than t

I like this idea. As it is though, I feel like there is too much black on the page -- and it's really black. All that black also makes it hard to read the gray content, which is stuff that I really do want to read. It also makes it har

I have been "bricklayer B" in this hypothetical scenario when working at a large corporation with a terrible boss. "Bricklayer A" was constantly rewarded for working hard. I was constantly reprimanded for wasting my time

Good work. It looks pretty good and I'm going to be going through at least some of the exercises. It always feels good to ship something, even when you feel like it isn't 100%.

I likely wouldn't be a developer today if not for elementary school. I thought Logo was dumb and could never get into it, but one day after school in grade 6 I saw my friend had used Logo to open a command prompt on a school computer.

A few people are saying that they are most productive by starting their day on a big problem. I am the opposite of this. I try to tackle a small problem or two in the morning in order to improve my mental state. If I'm able to get thin

The best part of this isn't even that she was placed on a no-fly list. It's that the DHS lawyer specifically told the judge that she wasn't and the daughter was lying before the documentation was produced. The only way I see

This could be the case, but why couldn't it instead be the case that a 2.9 at Harvard is comparable to a 4.0 at a lesser school, and a 4.0 at Harvard is outstanding and means something truly incredible?

This is possible. Robots will certainly bring huge change some day. The problem is that it is definitely going to come before our social structures are ready for it. There's going to be a real hard time adapting to the fact that a very

Driverless cars. 3D printers. Unmanned drone deliveries. This is gearing up to be the future I've always imagined. I couldn't be more excited and nervous.

I know that Miley Cyrus is definitely not person of the year. But if she were to win, that would be hilarious. I can't imagine a single person taking it seriously or respecting the result.

I followed their comics and news posts for years, and it seems like Khoo, Gabe, and Tycho are quite well off. Seems like maybe they just don't want to share the wealth.

Does he have to? Most people say no. But he doesn't publish a parody without permission. He makes sure he has permission before he does any of them.

From my perspective a GitHub portfolio might not be required to get hired, but if the code you've shared is bad code then it could keep you from getting hired. Edit: That doesn't mean I wouldn't have one. I do have one. I jus

My daughter's grade school has chess lessons once a week (we are in Canada). They start as young as junior kindergarten. To reinforce the lessons and gauge her learning, I try to play at least one game with her a month. I'm impres

Yesterday I made my first pull request to an open source project. Previously I'd always felt like I wouldn't know where to start or wouldn't be able to contribute in a meaningful way. In the end, I decided to just get over my

I also recently switched back to Winamp. It just works and it's easy to control. There's also a plugin called Chipamp which ensures you have all the latest plugins required to play video game music files (nsf, rsn, usf, psf, etc.)
