I've done some tests and no browser appears to autofill an HTML hidden field. It's why we picked that method as supposed to CSS as I'm not sure the consequences of this.

Display:hidden on an input field would be OK, but there might be cases on some sites where the field loads before the CSS file. This could cause auto filling to happen. It's a lot harder to test this sort of thing with CSS rules, it's a lot easier just to use hidden fields.

I'd recommend using names such as "username" as honeypots as the likelihood of being filled are high.

"About The Veridian Group
The Veridian Group is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Veridian Credit Union, based in Waterloo, Iowa. As a credit union service organization (CUSO), The Veridian Group is committed to providing valuable financial services to credit unions and credit union members."

The distinction between a "credit union" and a CUSO matters. If the credit union is extending its charter to cover Dwolla, Inc., then that makes a big difference in terms of regulatory implications. As far as I can tell, The Veridian Group, Inc. (which does not have a charter) has invested in Dwolla, Inc., and Veridian Credit Union (which does have a charter) owns The Veridian Group, Inc.
> Once you get used to the new Plan9 ideas, you feel crippled in UNIX and can never go back.

Would you care to expand on this? Any specific examples of things that Plan9 does for you that you feel crippled without? I ask out of genuine curiousity, as I've often heard Plan9 mentioned but have never given it enough research to understand its appeal.

For example, I'm a full time web developer and I spent a lot of time in zsh and vim. Would you recommend that someone like me checks out Plan9? Is it the type of thing you could possibly use as your general purpose OS?

INTERN OR FULLTIME in SAN FRANCISCO, CA

I'm a full-stack web developer at Yelp, and I definitely recommend the hell out of working here. We've still got the startup environment (kegs, dog, etc); we're located in downtown San Francisco, half a block from MoMa; we are in a unique position to do great stuff and solve hard problems while helping people find great local businesses.

I built our "Hot New Businesses" feature - http://yelp.com/openings/sf , for instance, you can find it on the homepage and in our mobile apps too - which crunches through our data nightly and generates a list of the most recently opened bars and restaurants in your city, complete with predictions of the day they opened on. It's a really useful feature, and we have so much data that I was able to build it without knowing anything about machine learning, data-mining, etc; imagine the crazy-useful stuff you could do here, if a knucklehead like me could make a feature like this.

For more info about what it's like to work here as an engineer, see a Q&A with me at http://officialblog.yelp.com/2011/07/day-in-the-life-of-a-ye... , or feel free to contact me at jrheard at yelp dot com.

Here's a list of our open engineering positions:

Web Developer

☆ Develop cool and useful features for our 61M+ monthly visitors

☆ Expertise in JavaScript, HTTP, HTML/DOM, and CSS, as well as server-side chops in a language like Python, Ruby, Java, C++, etc. We're on Python, but we're just looking for people who are really good at programming, so no worries if you don't have much Python experience.

Search and Data-Mining Engineer

☆ Tackle machine learning and information retrieval problems from our database of 22M+ Yelp reviews

☆ Strong grasp of algorithms and data structures; expertise in Python, Java, or C++

Back-end Engineer

☆ Build whole systems that are simple and scalable

☆ Expertise in your favorite modern programming language: Python, Ruby, Java, Objective-C, or C++

Mobile Developer

☆ Create fun and useful mobile applications for the iPhone, Android, Blackberry platforms and beyond

☆ Expertise in C++, Java and other mobile languages

It's true, the docs aren't exactly good (and there are like, 3 versions of it floating around - which one to reference?).

But it doesn't sound like you've actually used Dojo. It's neither big, complicated or bloated. Things ARE modularized, and the core has a lot of bits that are useful outside a browser environment. If you look at jQuery, the whole thing targets being run in a browser. Dojo base has a lot of language utilities that are helpful - say if you're using it in node.

At this point, can I count on a user having Flash over Chrome or Firefox? Today, I'd say that a user having Flash is a more reliable bet than them having Chrome/Firefox. And if they have Chrome, they have Flash.

I get where you're going, but this conversation always gets dicey. People want Flash to die, so they sit around the campfire dreaming about why it is bad, but fail to see why it has succeeded thus far.

If we really want Flash to die, we should be concentrating on advancing the standard (or abandon the slow-moving committees involved).

Instead, this rhetoric of how Flash performs, or its inherit proprietary format gets brought up. Over and over. Ad nauseum.

And yet Flash – today – outperforms the alternatives in almost every realm of multimedia. Audio API, Camera support, 3D/vector drawing, video decoding, licensing, streaming.

Drama and vilification won't change the fact that I still can't allow a user to upload a video with a webcam using standard web technologies – probably not until 2020 (or whatever other gratuitously pushed off date it may be). I still can't reliably build a highly interactive, full-width experience without the browser having a fit.

This is the reality.

No. I don't think that's being asked here.

Normally with affiliate links, or how most people understand it (at least I do), is to place these links on YOUR website.

This seems to go in a slightly different direction where you place and ad for some else on a third party website. However, it's not a real ad, it's a third party affiliate link (your affiliate link). Very clever.
Ive used it against my wish, but it may be also because of inexperience with it which makes me judge so badly. I could have done what I was doing in jQuery far more faster and effecient, and the resulting code would have been easier to maintain for many other developers. Very few know dojo.

Also the idea of "dojoAttachPoint" as an attribute on basically any tag is questionable. If I recall only the latest html spec allows that, but dojo used it even before.

Ever heard of Empire Building? It's a common problem in corporations. Mid-level managers become important by having a lot of underlings. I imagine this would be even more important in compartmentalized areas, as mid-level managers would nominally have no other method to signal their importance to superiors or peers.

I can also think of a situation where a contractor might hire a mid-level manager's husband, wife or child. The mid-level manager would be able to crank up his or her headcount to get the relative a sizeable Christmas "bonus". I've heard tell that this sort of thing actually happens.

$20 for a one-time scan? Assuming their SEO is as honest as their business model, this site must print money.
I'll throw in my .02.

I see the context-switch as one between text and graphics.

If I'm working on the command line, then most times I have no need to have X11 running. I'm working exclusively with text.
I can boot to a command line and start working. No X11 is needed.

But when a need arises for graphics, e.g., to read a PDF composed of scanned images (not pure Postscript), then I have to "context-switch" to the X11 context.

I find that switching back and forth between these two contexts is not smooth and can easily lead to instability.

There is often a presumption, as in Plan9, that we will just switch once: to the graphical environment. And not return to the original console.

To me, neither an X11 terminal emulator nor the Plan9 environment is "the console". It's another layer of abstraction on top of the console.

That is a lot of overhead I do not need if I'm just working with text.

In that case, why not brag about cracking some code that's just too hard to crack? Make the enemy question the value of a difficult code, and put them through the expense of replacing code books, cypher machines, or at least changing out all public keys.

You'd have to come up with something you could leak to prove that the code was broken, I suppose. But what about bragging about a code you've broken pretty thoroughly, and then giving really shoddy evidence that only arguably proves you've broken it? Sort of the opposite of Cryptonomicon's Unit 2702. You might make the enemy snort in derision, and believe that the cypher in question was still secure.

Do that a few times, and then suddenly reveal a lot of stuff that could only have come from one of the bragged-about-in-a-shoddy-fashion cyphers. Now all cyphers, especially the one's not bragged about come under suspicion.

Wow, this is a fun game!

jQuery often uses "data-blah" as an attribute- that isn't any more or less valid than "dojoAttachPoint".

And the general point is that Dojo can do a lot more than jQuery- for one, it works outside of the browser. A library like MooTools is the same. jQuery is, at it's heart, a DOM manipulation tool. Dojo and the others are more complete libraries that aren't just for HTML.

> I don't know why so many people are cavalier about this. Proper capitalization is part of proper spelling, which is important for clear communication. Whether it's 37Signals, Github, or Javascript, it irks me every time.

So, presumably, is the proper use of articles, but how many people do you know who insert 'The' before all and only weak proper nouns? (For example: Is your alma mater University of Blah or The University of Blah? I'll bet you don't know; I didn't.) I'm on your side, and I like to make this distinction; but it's obvious that we have to draw the line somewhere or spend so much time on pedantry that we have no time left for meaning, and I don't have a problem with people who choose to draw the line before worrying about internal capitalisation.
