I have to agree with the frustration of the apparent minority. We've been using HipChat corporate-wide, and the subset of users that have been using Screenhero aren't going to be able to change to Slack now (even if we wanted to)

The airlocks are not at all of the terminals, so it's not surprising you didn't see it. Here's a PDF explaining the airlock rooms at PHL (they call it a "secure exit lane system") with photos: http://www.

Philadelphia airport has been like this for years already. The "airlock" isn't a single-person, but a small room that can lock a handful of people in as they pass individually through some unjumpable turnstiles. I'd po

The aggregation framework is ideal for answering these kinds of issues. Mongo has a bunch of aggregation routines that are useful for producing reports on demand, but not on the fly. The trade-off is possible because we know that the coll

I was on a team that built a web app for primary school standardized testing. The amount of data presented and collected per student per test is large and perfect for a document store. MapReduce operations allow the app to quickly produce

Is it just me, or should this title be "Zero-Day Attack"? What's the "Under" all about?

Useful, maybe. Constructive, no. Especially to someone who didn't understand enough not to do this in the first place. Just because you should expect the internet to be full of douchebags does not mean you need to contribute to their

It's a byproduct of a one-size-fits-all-content design for a CMS that all of their output looks like the same drivel. In contrast, if a designer had the opportunity to hand-design each content page distinctly, such a site would look m

He makes a good point in that design generally sucks on the web, though I disagree with practically everything else in this article, which seems to lay all of the blame for bad design on poor web standards and the need for revenue-earning a

Better yet, put the stuff that's not related to what's on the tab (like bookmarks) OUTSIDE of the tab. Then I don't have to explicitly hide my bookmarks every time I capture a screenshot of a browser.

In the Introduction, under functions: f = m*a f(20) = 20a Which is ok, but then farther down: f(a) = m*a f(20) => 20a This seems incorrect, since I was expecting m*20. On a separate page, this seems to work fine, thoug

When you write an authentication system with username and password you never display an error like "that password is incorrect", because then the attacker knows that the username is a valid one. Why does everyone here assume that

There are plenty of free and full yet simple CMSes that also fully integrate these features, for no monthly fee.

There is clearly a niche for these small "CMS" tools, but let's be real about what these CMSes are generally not offering: User authentication, localization, custom field indexing, internal search... Yes, it "manages

This seems especially difficult for a web-based model, and I've personally questioned why anyone would want SaaS when: 1. The company already pays for and supports infrastructure. 2. The company already has a development/IT department that

What is of interest to me in this crowdfunding of celebrity projects is that it gives the impression that crowdfunding could be a way to "solve" the general issue of content only coming from a select few media outlets without it actually do

I was disappointed by this headline. After resetting my Evernote password this morning, I was looking forward to reading about a new technique that would allow me to avoid password resets in the future. Oh, well. Is anyone working on such a

A more sensible rule: If I'm wearing headphones in/over both ears, it's possible I can't hear you, so you might want to make sure you have my attention before you talk to me from behind for ten minutes then get upset when I don't respond.

Properly indented code is like properly layered design graphics. It should be a habit such that you're unconsciously doing it all the time, regardless of whether you're otherwise doing things "right" or taking shortcuts to be "good enough

To be sure, it makes sense to ship over making everything perfect under the hood. But to many who would read this post, it's granting implicit permission to write code that is utter drek. They hear you offering consent to make code that "

In my work, clients mostly need a site built to perform a specific function, and if Habari fits that task, I use it. There isn't an explicit demand for Habari developers, but there is a high demand for sites that Habari is suited to produc

Is there an explanation online about how a network that only has 11k users is worth $50 per year? I can almost see paying that much for the volume of users on Twitter. Almost. The value of a network that is aligned with users over advert

The one thing the author fails to address is what is actually revolutionary about the OUYA: It is a TV-based console without a developer licensing fee. This is revolutionary because on any other platform, the developer produces the softwar

Then it is important that the emails that are collected are then used for doing that. I have yet to receive anything more than a "verify your address" email based on submitting mine to any of these pre-launch email collection sites. Nobod

Please don't misunderstand. If you want to use WordPress that's great. My "What were you thinking" comment refers to PHPBB only, which I've seen used more than once for the primary blog for a startup. I'll use more commas next time or so
