Interesting that communications lines are underneath water lines. The engineer in me wonders if that's a good idea, and also wonders if there's a good reason for it. Anyone have an idea?

I don't think this problem is limited to just kids. This is something that annoys me about a lot of adults, lately. It often seems like conversations lately are devolving into people tweeting at each other in the physical world. Someth

No, we do some client-side prefiltering to ignore non-products, and we also do some more extensive server-side filtering. We also allow you to cancel snap processing, as well as go into an "Ignore new snaps" mode via the settings

We do our own searching and wrote our own crawlers. Does that answer your question?

Good question- with Safari, we use the visible domain to help score the confidence for mobile websites. For native apps, we don't have any such "easy" confidence boost. So we have to fingerprint the app based on different fea

And a general lack of links throughout. Who doesn't hyperlink their table of contents? Or call a table of contents a glossary, for that matter...

Only after you find out they were getting filtered, usually because someone calls you to say "WhyTF aren't you responding to my emails?"

That's actually pretty cool. I hope the App Store allows animated gifs and/or videos soon. Some apps really look good when their Core Animation subtleties can shine through.

StumbleUpon has been doing this for a couple of year. I always liked the built-in pagination.

I think they buy a fair bit of their data from third party vendors, but I'm not positive. Still, aggregating and organizing all that information is impressive.

That's great and all, but a real screensaver provides a cheap way to lock a computer, and is functional and can be beautiful as well. This is beautiful, would love a screensaver of this to lock my computer when I step away from it.

It seems like this article is saying "H1B workers are not LITERALLY indentured servants, but here's a ton of reasons they are at a huge disadvantage." So basically the article is railing against the semantics of an exaggerate

Actually, a good code smell / architecture smell in a Rails app is if any given controller method is over 10-15 lines (And even that is on the large side IMHO). For example, I believe Code Climate specifically penalizes your score for

I think the font is decent, but I won't use it in its current iteration for the following reasons: 1. The lowercase 'm' is muddled and looks bad without anti-aliasing, downright horrible with anti-aliasing. 2. The lowercase &

It's telling that they don't know (or do know, but don't see the benefit in) RESTful interfaces. Which isn't a dead-end for the interview, it just leads to more questions to see what they understand about HTTP. I'm

Personally, I like using HTTP principles when interviewing web developer candidates. I'm not expecting people to know every detail of every RFC, or trivia type stuff in general. I more am interested in how much they know / can fig

I've tried alternative input devices, but never can get the hang of them. Too many years of traditional mousing, I guess. For me, I use a free app called Time Out Free. It does scheduled micro-breaks of 15 seconds every 20 minutes. I j

nginx is a joy to configure and work with. I like the style of thinking of "OK, I'll run this on port 7001 and just use iptables to forward 80 -> 7001" Lets you run services as non-root, with the exception of the iptables
