I'm sure this was discussed before when this story made the rounds last month, but this continues to make little sense to me: http://code.google.com/speed/webp/gallery.html WebP might be great, but how can it be a meaningful comparison --

We run a webapp that partially solves this problem: http://ActiveInterview.com Create a custom interview questionnaire on our webapp, and include the link for your candidates to take that interview (w/ webcam through browser) as part of y

If I understand how this works, there is a clear use case for using this over say Selinium: flash interaction testing. so assuming you have a fixed dimension site in the fluid browse, you could interact with flash widgets... Right? or am

I don't understand the title. Why is this a killer feature for Java Developers? The Django admin is the killer feature for most anyone. For example, even if you are coming from Rails, the Django Admin is a more refined interface than basi

you make a valid point, and i completely agree. It's about more efficiently honing in on the best candidates. And the trick is to do that early in the process, especially when the hiring process is typically front-loaded with mostly crap

If you are a startup, you can't afford to be NOT be "ridiculous" Possibly nothing is worse for a new tech venture than a bad hire. I've lived through a few at various startups. It's horrible. It's the worst kind of death because its ofte

When I worked in the TI DSP group (many years ago) we called it "Code Composter". $4.30 is cheap... but what about the time cost of using "Code Composter"? This was about 6 years ago, so I hope for all the hacker that CC is better now.

Agreed that this is all cool stuff. But as developer of a webapp that heavily leverages webcam / mic access (blatant plug: http://activeinterview.com ), I'm waiting anxiously for this to get fleshed out: http://dev.w3.org/html5/html-devi

Couldn't agree more. If you application is heavily dependent on UI (like most any webapp), then you massively benefit from having one person that's able to do it all. It's a competitive advantage you can't live without. There is just too
