I'm interested in the contrast between Flickr and the portfolio sites. I believe (I may be mistaken) Flickr restrained itself in order to allow the photos to be the dominant visual element. I understand why the portfolio sites are overly de

In my experience, this is a crappy question because interviewees tend to prep for it. It's way better to ask people about the history of a project they worked on, what challenges they faced, how they overcame it, etc. Stories of failures us

I got "Paul Graham nude". Wunderbar. What's missing from this is the accountability in the real world cafe. If you ordered something disgusting, there is a significant chance the next person is not too far behind you and will take it out on

You're right. Now I am casting suspicion on you without facts, and that's just stupid. I'm sorry. Thank you for discussing this with me like an adult. I commented publicly because I wanted to discuss it, and you made fair points. It's too

The problem is that if I were 37 Signals, I would not respond on their blog as that would give you what you want: attention to your blog and your product. If you seriously expected that, you were mistaken. And now the real problem is that y

You can be impartial, but it still was a bad post because you posted speculation without making even the basic attempt at determining the facts. They typically answer their email within two hours during business days. Just ask them. It's no

Thank you for this. It would be valuable if you could please ask them for their side and follow up with another post explaining if they in the right or wrong.

Absolutely yes. It is the same expectation when you find a security hole. You should always ask their side of the story first before going public with naked speculation. Because you have a conflict of interest this pushes the post past mere

Candidate A is unhireable. Programming is more about communicating with people than machines, and I say this even as a former embedded systems programmer. I've worked with A's before and they are A-holes. Candidate B is very hireable, but o

Just to be clear to the readers, putting the token in the session has the same vulnerability. If you're going to use a token, put it in the form.

As I wrote, "I read EvilPacket to suggest the time-limited challenge is a token stuffed into the cookie." I wouldn't recommend putting a challenge token in the cookie, but developers make mistakes. Also, you know DOM injection is a very com

An interesting part of the history of bank account feeds is that Intuit was a big part of the original OFX standardization effort. Initially OFX was looking to become a wonderful and well supported standard in North America. However, Intuit

"If two of them were Squares, I would expect height and width to mirror each other. Your saying you wouldn't expect it." No, I wouldn't expect it, because I don't know about Squares. Don't be misled because this example are uses shapes we a

Yes, it's true that "it is perfectly expected that calling setHeight() on a Square will also change its width," which is why Square has its own class. However, if Square is subclassed from Rectangle, some Squares will be called in a context

The article is about neuropathways not dating. I may be particularly grumpy today but that is one strike. The second is that dating problems are best served elsewhere like okcupid or reddit. I flagged it. I'm sorry but this seemed poorly pr

Please don't take my comment to imply all art is this way. I'm just saying that artists who join this culture of obfuscation are doing so because there are buyers who like or depend on it.

Poor communication only becomes enculturated when it has some larger economic purpose. In the art world, it's all a game to win funding. This type of art is not aimed at the general audience, but--if you bear with what seems like weird cons

I suspect it's because programming is an intense meritocracy, but a meritocracy governed by the intense subjectiveness of how smart your peers think you are rather than some more objective criterion like published papers or citations. There
