At my company, we_almost_ fit that bill. We're not small, but we're not a large team either. The company was started as a PHP development shop 15 years ago but has switched tech and brand and name and grown so much in just 10 mont

It's certainly something you could do, but don't be discouraged when you realise that your potential clients aren't too fond of being told their current online presence sucks. Perhaps also approach local businesses that don&#

Yes, that would be cool. I am curious as to how such a search would be performed by the user. Perhaps entering a duration in minutes and seconds and using arrow keys to shift the buffer bar location left/right until the correct scene i

I know that you only have one controller, but I don't think it's wise to reference each and every controller in one single angular.module(...).controller() declaration... Perhaps read this: https://github.com/gocar

The factorial example is used in many programming tutorials, not to teach you that you need to understand complicated mathematical theory to become a programmer (you don't, so don't worry), but instead to teach you one of the more

The reasons we don't are pretty good ones. The first, and most important reason, is that native implementations of methods like `.forEach` are extremely slower than their native-for-loop equivalents. For casual side projects, this does

by declandewet 13y ago
Agreed. Plus, underscore's implementations are not as fast as their native equivalents. At least use lodash if you're going to be using an entire library, as it is faster. Otherwise, you could just use the .reduce, .forEach, and .

That all depends on what you want to do, which direction you wish to go in. Do you want to start your own company? Do you want to settle for a stable job? Do you want to study? Asking other people what you should do will be of no benefit to

He could apply for an H-1B visa - this is a work permit. Getting one is a challenge, as only 65,000 are awarded each year (and they disappear fast, 63,000 of the 65,000 for 2013 were gone by November 2012). The requirements for obtaining on

I am in no way a proponent of racist culture, no matter who propagated this ad, it is still wrong and it is still gaining traction among the uneducated. Fake or not, it is becoming a factor in the decision process. This country needs to cha

Fake or not, it is gaining traction and I've seen over a thousand comments agreeing with it, all from the lower class uneducated ethnic population. The ANC is currently under threat because the DA has taken the whole Western Cape and a

They're there, you're just not looking hard enough. I commented on the author's post - what I spoke about might be of use to you too. Also, remember that as a person with internet access, you're not limited to simply sit

This article is pretty old (2009) but as a born 'n bred South African I can definitely tell you this: The pigeon is _still_ faster.

It's an interesting idea, but I'm not sure how the gender inequality expressed in the introduction will fare. Ladies cheat too.

Less than 50, unfortunately charging anything more in this country (South Africa) as a freelancer is tough unless it's a PHP/CMS system project. But that's sublocation dependent. I'd probably be able to charge more in Ca

Node.js is not a framework for developing web applications. Express.js is a framework for developing web applications on the Node.js platform. As per the question, I tend to go towards Node with Express. It doesn't do all the abstracti

I wish I had the time to write cleaner code at work - the company ethos is to strive for progress and not perfection, as that could come later... Buncha nitwits. At least there's the open source community, who tend to follow style guid

It's worth noting that Sun Micro-systems is pretty far up the corporate ladder and likely had the resources to prove the candidate was irreplaceable during that time. This might not be the same for OP.

I don't think any of those except "years of experience" are valid points against the use of Node.js, and even that isn't really on the mark with reality. This is because Age !== Experience. Perl has been around longer th

It would be much more straight-forward than it would be in Rails. Passport is very easy to use compared to libraries like Devise, and it gives you the option to write your own middleware to use along with it. Middleware in Express is litera

I've found that Passport is much easier to work with, as it is just Express middleware, plus there are way more strategies should you ever want to support any other form of authentication. There's a plethora of points made on Pa

I personally prefer Ubuntu, my brother uses Linux Mint. I haven't found much difference between the two in terms of workflow, but Linux Mint does keep the Linux ethos more closer to it's heart than Ubuntu does, as Ubuntu has taken
