It's interesting, but I'd much rather see a chronologically-based bubble diagram for recent experience. Definitely eye-catching.

This is my thought also, but I'm unsure of how to lock in the correct integer value to the alert, such that clicking each li element pops up the correct number. I'm guessing one would have to create an object with a scope that holds the rig

Agreed, the new twitter is way demanding compared to the older version. Once they stop allowing the old version, I'll probably have twitter loaded much less. On a core 2 duo, even scrolling in new twitter is way below par. Is there a low cp

I think the art speaks for itself! What about the iPhone4? The screen is incredible! The current iPad badly needs an upgrade to high resolution, since as other posters have noticed, the pixelation is often quite noticeable.

Wow, I'm surprised to see Chrome so high! And maybe even more to see that Safari is catching Firefox.

And you can absolutely bet that this will be tied to a SSN and will be necessary in order to interact with the government. In some ways, this is reminiscent of Microsoft's attempt to 'reboot the internet' with their own security code. I bel

Another benefit, wages and living standards would rise, since there would be increased competition for workers. Increased wages likely would drive better education and training, leading to a German-style skilled workforce. In turn, a skille

It appears that PDF generation on iOS includes partial / subset fonts, which are named with xxxx+<fontname>. Adobe Reader has problems extracting the font and may or may not display blanks or garbage for text in these PDF files. Thi

MS Access 1.0 was fantastic when it came out. I can almost taste that box arriving in my office. 23 freakin' floppies though! Awesome piece of software.

There was a Brinks-style truck in Manhattan last week, with some slogan like "Blow up this truck in Mafia Wars". Seems like pretty poor taste, and are folks on Wall Street really playing Mafia Wars?

Yeah, I'm kinda tired of his whiney posts. Adams needs to spring some of that Dilbert money and hire a good PA. Hey presto, pay the PA $150k, and life is simplified.

Thanks for the post! It seems like you have a great opportunity, at low risk, to try some things: - Cranking the price up to say $5 - Adding in license server code, and logging piracy - Defeaturing your free version. Any of

To an extent this is a reasonable way to put it, but in all honesty, there's much more to software engineers than whether their programming muse is satisfied or not. For example, I'm happy whenever I can make users happy. Even if I'm just w

You're picking [1] to the exclusion of Warren's own numbers. Per Warren's numbers, the increase in house size was essentially restricted to one additional room. Certainly not the 60% increase in size you posit. The cost increase in housing

My old company did the opposite of this. As they expanded, they built worse and worse office environments. I started out in a nice 10x10 cube, and ended up in a 5x5 low-walled cube, on an 'expansion floor'. After I quit, the primary buildin

The claim is correct. The reason that people have more and better stuff is that women in extremely large numbers, have gone out and taken jobs in order to support families. Principally, the increase in costs to raise a family comes from lar

One of the most useful things you could do at this stage is go write a lexer to split some input file up into lexemes / tokens. As an example, think splitting a CSV file up into numbers, strings, separators and newlines. If you get this rig

Microsoft Flight Simulator was such a genius product due to the number of add-on planes, scenery etc., that could be integrated into the sim due to the open-ended nature, SDKs etc. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/555857 I'm hope I'm wrong

Here's some information about the Android installed base by country. http://www.techinfospotlight.com/2010/05/phone-os-market-sti... The big takeaway for me is that 75% of Android phones able to access AdMob are in the North America, vers

Gates is years behind the curve as always. As a concrete example, the Apple-provided WWDC 2010 sessions on iOS 4.0 and OS X are some of the best educational materials I've ever seen. Well recorded, tested material, and, this is key, absolut

So are you suggesting that for their $70k, the recruiters would have actually succeeded in screening out the idiots? From my 15 years in IT, I highly highly doubt it. There is the occasional decent recruiter, but most of them are like realt
