As a hiring manager here's my concerns/issues with the current process of hiring/using a recruiter - recruiters don't screen well enough technically or personality wise - recruiters tend to lie about everything (candidat

I'm seeing an increasing trend in business users having budget and spending it without it anywhere in the conversation. Especially with the rise of SaaS where the cost is easily buried on an expense report...

I think you meant Ember. I've seen the same thing done a bunch of different ways in Angular. They all work. That being said, my team has come up with a way to develop Angular apps. It looks little like the samples and people new to

Enterprise developer here (well mostly). I see this in most of our apps -- the same "template" is called hundreds of times in a session. An accountant auditing invoices is a perfect example. Now for random public website? Depen

I've done this. I've done Angular. I've done Ajax calls to templates on the client side. I've done Knockout. Give me client side data binding (2 way!) any day of the week vs sending the partial back from the server si

We're .net devs, not looking to get acquired right now, but most of our stuff is migrating to angular on top of web API (with breezejs) so our hiring has been for the JavaScript side since we already have enough .net to deal with the v

Office 365 is a good alternative if you use Windows.

The wife approval factor of Windows software is zero. This won't fly in the living room. I want this on a set top box... And anything like yamj or xbmc absolutely chokes on my collection and I spend hours fixing incorrectly identified

This is exactly my plan and need as well. 7pm and no dinner plans? Instead of take out... Have a soylent.

They make small pedallers that sit on an a frame and you sit in a chair to pedal. If you ever have to do leg rehab you'll get to use one.

Zero drop shoes (altra for my front feet specifically) and Vibram five fingers cured my shin splints. As soon as I switched I went from one mile = deadly pain to 3 miles feeling like an easy walk. Obviously I have some mechanical issue but

I think a harder thing is making the decision to cut someone if they aren't making the cut. A lot of times it's like a bad girlfriend. The thought of being alone is worse than the pain you're going through... Especially if i

Short term cash = consulting... But it's like heroin and hard to quit. It also has no long term value.

Can't sell windows server licenses if you let people run on Linux. Xamarins price is way too high and I bet apple would block the apps built with it if msft bought them (and they'd likely sue for reverse engineering).

I've had a mbp for my last two laptops and I'm done with them as well. Finder, iTunes, the horrorshow that is xcode slay me. My rmbp has been crash happy and refuses to sleep (buggy video drivers). The wireless card has been awful

Probably a dumb question but it seems as if the thermostat is dumb. Ie all it is is an interface to the hardware. If your Internet/wifi is spotty (very common)... Does your thermostat not work? Are you stuck being hot or cold?

I've actually had an idea for something like this for a number of years (I used to work for ClickMotive) but it's so very hard to gather this data. The use cases that lead to my thought were: - what cars on the market, both new an

Agreed. The thing I took most from your article was where you mentioned the email was fairly concise, not long winded to end up with a "ugh, a book, deeelete" response. Since I worked from a BlackBerry for so long, I find that em

This is retarded. The owner has employees. Not partners. He is carrying all the risk. Slow pay? He pays. Personal guarantee needed? His house is on the line. Needs cash to hire the next employee or to float more payroll while the work ramps

I don't remember the actual number, but it's laughably low (maybe $10-20/employee, frankly it was a number of months ago).

We actually put Ltd in place this year. For our company (11 employees, almost everyone in their 30s) it added like $10 a month to our policy. We also pay 100 percent of the health care and it's our #1 expense after labor.

The biggest fear of selling to BFEs (too many multiple use acronyms here)... is actually just getting our foot in the door. We hired a dedicated sales person recently and his ability to close far surpasses ours... really it's just a ma

None of my clients have publicly accessible SQL servers (all behind firewalls). This product would be great for them... but it looks like you want them to open their db up to the world?
