I agree with the sentiment that the best course of action would be to focus on your own work and not get caught up in the coworker's performance. If you take the founder at face value, he's basically saying that keeping the cowork

I want to say that developers and smaller Saas companies might have played a role in this. Smaller businesses are not as big on ensuring everything works across browsers. Most developers use Chrome, so the likelihood of an issue popping up

I feel like this really depends on how the question is asked, how the interviewee is guided through the question, and the interviewer's expectations. If I was the interviewer, this would basically be a fizzbuzz question. The reason is

It's easy to see if someone has a broken leg or test them for cancer. For most back pain, you can't even prove that person is actually suffering from it.

Why? No one is telling anyone to stop chemotherapy and use acupuncture to treat their cancer. In the context of back pain, so what if acupuncture isn't better than a placebo? We know placebo works for making people feel better. That&#x

I feel like your pricing is too low, and you needed to be closer to Audible prices. I feel like your marketing plan relied on too many perfect things to happen. You should also consider that the more you exploit a specific marketing channel

- Most fruits in the US are bred to last longer and picked earlier so that they can survive long trips from the farm to the grocery store. - Take a closer look at the ingredients in your bread. You're most likely buying bread with pres

No one really knows the long-term effects of basic income, so it's all a bit of speculation and it's certainly possible that what you think will happen actually does. I personally think some costs would go up while others will not

I think with Dishero, the issue is product-market fit, and without it, none of the other stuff matters. My guess is the restaurants understand your product better and can more easily see how they can make money with it.

Whether you prefer the city or the suburbs is value-based. I value a low crime rate very highly. I don't know how you can claim to be objective and brush aside crime rate as an irrational fear when there are published crime rate statis

It's actually not a problem for many web developers. If you're working in Rails, Django, etc., you're not going to have the DOCROOT pointed at your top level directory. And .git is only in the top level directory, which is al

Personally, I think you're mistaken. Allowing anyone to propose a date outside of the control of the event creator can lead you to confusion for little or no benefit. Personally, I think the value proposition is to avoid the long back-

I'm piggybacking off your comment, but has no one else had issues with github pages and custom domain names? I put up a static site on github pages and checked in a couple months later (it was a personal site that wasn't terribly

Looks more like a configuration issue. The big clue is s/he dropped your code into a sub-directory but s/he's getting error in code not in that sub-directory (i.e. - not your code). My guess is the docroot is set to /var

While I agree with the sentiment, I don't believe it's necessarily cutting corners. Rather, it's by design. Rails values "elegance," and leans towards monolithism. Monkey patching is the means to those ends. So even

Others have covered the possible approaches to talking with the developer and the boss pretty well. Aside from that, I just wanted to point out that the only big worrying issue is the SQL injection. I would focus on this above everything el

I wouldn't rely on this. My LINE was set to a prepaid number that I had let expire on purpose. I thought I would be fine because I also had a username set. When someone else registered my number, I lost about 90% of my contacts. The on

I think your idea is fine for HotelSaver, but your example, $500 per month savings on $5,000 initial investment, is flawed. When you flip the script around, it's not just the vendor's confidence in your savings, but now the vendor

I don't think it's fair to make a comparison across geography. There are too many variables, such as cost of living and the employment market that may affect overhead. You can definitely make a case for whether or not starting a c

Most classes don't require an expert-level of knowledge and some teachers are completely incompetent, especially prior to high school. I had a science teacher in junior high that did not believe in evolution.

I believe this is one of those things where everyone has their own idea of what 1 - 3 should be. I think it's ambiguous enough that people will see what they want to see and then realize that the vision doesn't match when actually

I think the key is that you're stating that fundamentally, copyright should have value. This is not a given. I can certainly imagine a society where copyright infringement is allowed and no value is given to copyright at all. I'm

The problem is Facebook seems to want to do exactly the opposite: open up your life to as many people as possible. It's also shown that it wants to monetize your social connections i.e. beacon and endorsed ads. If Facebook was a servic

I'm not a huge fan of the differentiators in your pitch. Last minute help and non-monetary compensation seems like it'll run into logistical and scalability issues. Not taking a cut of the money makes me wonder how you'll mak

I'm not sure what you're suggesting when you suggest not relying on browser implementation. This sounds impossible as the browser is the client and the client will have access to user credentials.

I'll take a shot at this, but I only did a cursory reading of the article. To begin with, I don't believe you are vulnerable through this exploit any more. Facebook has fixed this by changing the response in OAuth so that it would no longer

I don't think not knowing functional programming is peculiar at all. When I went to school, the dominant language was Java. Aside from a few courses, some of which covered functional programming, every other course and project was written i

It just sounds to me that you're saying it's tough for a guy that doesn't understand the cultural norm. The States seem to favor ambiguity over being very straightforward. I feel that there are definitely benefits to this approach, but if y
