This took me a bit as well but there is a small bit that is editable, but I agree that it isn't clearly defined, especially when it's only a few characters and not an entire line. Hint: Phone functions

But then you are paying for the hosting and dealing with the maintenance. At that point is's easier to switch back to Dropbox. (IMHO)

That's interesting. I have yet to have any issues with D3 working in IE8 and above. Don't really care about anything below that but so long as it support SVG I would imagine it works. And I've also found HighCharts extremely

They actually shouldn't, assuming I'm understanding you properly. class should never describe the content but should instead be generic. So rather that class="big_red_text" it should be class="alert_text" or so

Like others have said, if your boss is calling you at 7PM to do a worksheet for a meeting the next day, one he has likely know about for a while, then worrying about your work/life balance is the least of your problems. As it's no

Odds are no, I won't do anything to the code. Why? Because for one, it would likely take a bit of time to 'make it decent' and secondly, by the time I've been informed that Project X will be talked about the interviewer

Except in a live coding exercise most people are trying to be efficient or 'to it right' and paying attention to what they are doing and how. I realize this is anecdotal, but 95% of the public code in my git repo is stuff I did as

Never said anything was offensive, I was merely pointing out examples of ways that one could remind themselves to change the batteries. However if you insist on focusing one a singular viewpoint then I will remove myself from the conversati

No it doesn't. It simply requires a reminder. On Jan 1, change the batteries. On June 1, change the batteries. Of if you live in a majority of the US, when you change the clocks, change the batteries. Neither of these schedules will sn

Exactly. There is a huge difference in the following two statements: 1. "I hear you about X but we are doing Y anyway." 2. "I hear you about X and understand you viewpoint, however we need to go with Y because..." I&#x27

I suggest you examine why they are complaining. Are they being forced to work that many hours because of your process? Might want to rethink that. Do you have so much work that it can't be done with your current staff in 40 hours&#x2F

Because semantic actually means something, it's not a subjective term. Calling something Semantic UI and comparing it to another library, that more follows the actually meaning of semantic, is silly. Yes you can change the class name

Anecdotal speaking, when I moved from the Southern US to the Northeast I developed allergies that kicked in during late spring. Someone suggested this and all I can say is that after a few years I don't have the allergy attacks anymore

You aren't looking at the entire picture. Some have trouble in interviews because of learning disabilities and social anxiety but do well in the workplace once they are comfortable with the people. Add to that the fact that most tech
