Thank you for asking! That depends on the role - some of them have specific subject matter requirements listed in the job descriptions (for instance a deep knowledge of computational geometry), though not all.

Hard to answer that as I lack your exact frame of reference. Generally, employees of Mozilla Corp. are paid (and managed) to contribute to specific aspects of the Mozilla project. Sounds confusing, but essentially, imagine there is a new fe

Technically, a not-for-profit taxable subsidiary. (That makes a difference because the company purpose of Mozilla Corporation is still not to make money/raise shareholder value, despite the fact this it is fully taxable like any othe

That's great feedback thank you. I've copied this into an Issue on recroom: https://github.com/mozilla/recroom/issues/35

There's a time and a place for both. The reasons frameworks (and so many of them) exist is because there are many problems you would otherwise have to solve over and over again, rather than focusing on the actual problems you app is

recroom uses bower for package management at this point. Like many other parts of the picture, the "market" surrounding package management is in flux (there's also npm, for instance), so we'll monitor what's going o

You're right! recroom works well with WebIDE. You build your app and can then use WebIDE (and even the Ember Inspector Firefox add-on) to debug your app, for instance in the Firefox OS Simulator. Future plans of ours include having rec

That's actually where a large group of developers fall as well. You have the total beginners, who realistically won't build an app that has tests, or use a framework to sort out their models and views etc. They just need a HTML, C

Yes the whole space moves quickly. The current choice in tools in the recroom "tool belt" is not meant to be unchangeably set in stone. FWIW, Ember CLI is an interesting piece that would connect well to the core Ember framework as

by fwenzel 12y ago
Yeah you're right. The grunt piece is definitely one that is not set in stone. Ember-CLI is exciting and we've started working closely with the Ember folks to monitor it and see if and when this should become another piece of the

They can also lean towards rejecting almost any challenge entered by a system like this one. Conveniently, where I live, if you enter your argument by mail you are waiving your right to a trial, and they won't even reply to you unless

You are technically right but you're missing one thing: The parking authority here has an easy time to prove that you've ostensibly parked against the rules. Say, if the curb paint was faded, all they have to show is a map showing

I think you are on the right path: If you're making an app exclusively for Firefox OS, wrapping it in Cordova is not the path I would take. However, if you're also planning on submitting it to the iOS app store, then making a Cord

I am not sure why Norvig omits president Obama. That said, "[mtg]a" does match him, so at least Munroe tries.

Frémont still matches "[rn]t", so the problem persists regardless of this spelling.

This is not my home turf, but this is beautiful and exciting. Is your ajaxy frontend in a state worth open sourcing?

S3 is actually not that cheap. I have well over 100 GB of data to back up (and that's not even a full backup by any means, just the stuff I don't want to lose and can't get back by redownloading and reinstalling things), whic

I made a Firefox add-on that automatically scrapes the GIFs on Meatspace as they come in: https://github.com/fwenzel/refrigerateur (Early version! Feedback and contributions welcome!)

seems doable :)

In that case an x-calendar element is conceivable. In fact, the date picker could use that as its content. Luckily, Brick is open source, so you can file an Issue about it, and if you're interested, even submit a pull request yourself.

No. I am just seeing a difference between occupation and having troops from foreign allies stationed on one's soil. If all non-local troops are "occupation" in your book, then I guess the US are occupying South Korea also? An

Yeah sounds like shuffling the result set before running might add a bit more spice to this.

Sure. gkoberger transformed that statement into "can you detect if it has been running for an unreasonable amount of time". Not possible in advance, but certainly detectable in hindsight. Just, perhaps, not in JS.

Fair; also, it's called an 'ineffective' sort, and if you tested it, it'd become effective (not efficient, of course). So, good point!

Do you test the result, or just hope if it runs, it actually worked?
