Isn't addons.mozilla.org written in CakePHP? They might need open source helpers. If you did the same sort of thing for the Code Igniter framewor, then we'd be willing to help/donate a tad bit in that endeavor.

Part of our service is our search engine (a web app), but we also develop desktop-integrated tools, command-line utilities, and language libraries to help capture and share error message workarounds.

I agree with you on every point. I hate gauntlet interviews/interviewing and the questions should definitely be targeted towards hire/nonhire. Only I don't think you meant this the way it sounded, so just to be clear: "does the candidate kn

You quoted that-- sorry if this is a dumb question, but where did you find that information? Thanks in advance.

I don't know if I topped-out, but I did lose interest. Calc III felt hard with not very much useful information (my comp sci advisers basically gave me grief for taking it). Linear Algebra sparked my interest again, but only because it star

I've had the "fun" of having to do low-level hacking and troubleshooting on PCs for portions of the last 15 years or so. If you've had to try to make sense of Windows internals, you've almost certainly had to use one of Sysinternals tools l

I'm not referring to cryptography, I'm referring to security in the general sense. Security is fundamentally about placing obstacles between your assets and those who you don't want to use/alter/control those assets. When you design softwar

I'm not sure why you're treating my comment as an argument to reject security (or to reject anything other than your specific wording choice). I'm just saying that security, fundamentally, is about making obstacles. There's nothing implied

Security is nothing but an obstacle course. The only time security is not merely an obstacle course is when you completely destroy the thing you're trying to protect. This is fundamentally something everyone needs to understand about comp

We had a very positive experience with 99designs. We offered $200 awards to the top 2 entries for logo design and got 140 or so submissions/revisions from 36 different designers. We had a very difficult time narrowing it down from the top 1

I've always tested as right on the border of INTP and ENTP with a slight lean towards the former.

I miss Nomic. I played a few games of it back in, wow, 1995? There were a good number of people playing online versions like Ackanomic and Internomic. Great game with lots of high-level cleverness.

This is where companies like Cilk Arts are going to get things going, hopefully: http://youtube.com/watch?v=FjGKLYINGsg Edit : To provide some more context, they work on tools and extensions for C++. Things like race detection tools and

Just first impressions: I had the same thing on #1, just assumed I could draw freeform first.I didn't expect it to take my freehand and make it into a line or circle. I'm not sure that's a "bad" thing, because people figure it out pretty qu

If we added them, I'd say make them 16x16. People could use favicons for their sites (if they so desired).

By the way, there's a config option to revert the whitespace back. Go to preferences (upper right) and check "compress the link display".

Yeah, "motivation crowding" is an interesting problem. I think the lightness of TJ helps that a bit, and for our site, it's an opt-in process so they have to be that sort of person if they want that. I think you see more confusion in the re

Congrats guys! I know we're awfully excited about this for our sites. Thanks for all your help getting setup.

Some of our users had the same concerns when we made our site featurelist.org. That's why we added (due to a user's feature request) a way to export all data from your project to XML. Without exports like that, users will become even more

Well, to mention, I agree with you that engineers without degrees can be awesome. I've interviewed a couple hundred engineers and reviewed thousands of resumes, and when I see people without degrees I look for really solid experience and/or

I've read why they don't, but I really wish they included some sort of pricing information (even for an example industry/volume) on their site. Even if they're great, it makes it difficult for me to judge if it's even worth our time to inve

We get pretty good traffic at bug.gd. But hard to tell if it would be higher without the odd suffix. It helps that we encourage them to use our Firefox extension and/or bookmark the site when they visit (since people are rarely searching fo
