It's not really integrated because you have to have SimpLESS running in the background whenever you're working on a project - it's not a major hassle, but I noticed a similar friction when working with LESS.app in a project. I could edit almost everything in my text editor and see the results on the page, but would have to leave the editor to start LESS.app when I wanted to tweak the style. Only had to do it once, but it didn't feel like an efficient, integrated workflow.
Well done Jason! Finally, a tag cloud written in an accessible technology. Thoughts on using an invisible bounding container for the words? Example: silhouettes, shapes, words. What other features have you contemplated but have not implemented?
Honestly I don't really get the existence of Opera. Not when both Firefox and Chrome are free and don't suffer from the issues you mentioned.

This may be related to why I don't really care about the few users who use Opera -- it is just not worth it.
Google does provide you with more flexibility of storage allocation once you purchase additional storage. At that point all services share the same quota and you get full flexibility.

As such, see this split in case of unpaid accounts as another incentive for people to upgrade. As you don't pay anything, it's well within Google's right to optimize their offering to keep their costs as low as possible (ie. limiting picasa storage) and get the maximum marketing value (i.e practically unlimited mail storage).
Bingo; IBM and Microsoft aren't the ones holding the gun.
Which further proves why the Postal Service is not necessary and will not be missed when it's largely out of service 5 years from now.
So, you do realize that the information is free to duplicate, right? And that there is no way of ensuring you get paid for rent on a resource you can't control the duplication of--at least without causing massive headaches for everyone else?

Dude, sell tickets to shows, sell merch at shows, don't perform unless paid before hand.

If all else fails, consider that maybe you don't have a product worth buying, and then improve or leave.

Why would you sign an NDA for a job interview?
Its true that there is excitement behind writing the post.

But imho, right is a subjective word. What is right in one environment is not right in another. The intention of the post is to be aware of the possible uses of git. Its not to say that its best for all purpose/cases.

He isn't. Notch selected the paintings option (reference: https://twitter.com/#!/notch/status/167449996323586048 https://twitter.com/#!/notch/status/167450558259666944). You can pledge an amount and then select any reward below the value, so you can pledge $10k and only take the $15 reward if you like, only the person who selected the $10k reward (no matter their pledge value) will show as the $10k reward person.
do employers really expect candidates to right syntax accurate code on a whiteboard? I just always assumed that pseudo-code was appropriate. There are a lot of key strokes that my fingers know but my brain doesn't. It's very easy to get confused and thrown off your game.
"So they rely on referrals. If you know someone at the company, asking them to pass on your CV will hugely increase the chance of getting a phone screen."

This is probably the best piece of advice you can give for starting the job application process. Having an internal person already working in the company recommend you to HR will immediately put you on the top of the queue. At the very least, you'll get an initial phone interview quickly. This is, in fact, the only way that I've able to have successfully get in the door, at both small companies and also larger companies like Google and Microsoft.

The other option is the "career fair", but that tends to only work if you're still a student or near-student status.
Interestingly, the javascript scratchpad in firefox requires two deletes to fully delete that character. This is consistent with the fact that its length is 2. The first delete actually changes it to some other character.

From what I understand this is not a case of a unicode character with a second character applied as an accent. Although it's possible it may be behaving the same way.

In any case, it's interesting to see the delete key change a character to something else rather than fully delete it.
I make development software for companies like Google. Currently their biggest demand is to be able to use their white board instead of the keyboard+IDE for input. We call it an IDW, Integrated Development Whiteboard.

Also, they need tools to help them develop different sorting algorithms and link lists. Plus they are having trouble with binary trees, but link lists and bubble sorts are their number 1 priority!

Instead of more advanced performance modeling, they want to use this non-sciency thing called Big O notation. Once they write a Big O notation on the IDW(Integrated Development Whiteboard) they expect it to go that fast. If it doesn't go that fast... they just chuck more servers at it (we supply their servers too, so Big O makes us happy).

They also want us to provide them with flannel shirts and dr martins for uniforms. They say that 90s clothes help them with their interviewing techniques, because it helps them remember how interviews were done in the day; when they were edgy.

I wouldn't want Tesla to release a car even at $30,000. It takes away the from the rarity and coolness. Electric cars certainly do need to evolve and Tesla has done an incredible job, but there are dozens of other manufacturers out there that are just as capable. If you could buy a Bugatti or Koenigsegg for $75,000 they would certainly be less attractive to auto enthusiasts. It's human nature to want what we can't have. If Prada (not knock-offs) started selling their bags at $50 a pop do you think girls would still worship them?
Some big companies make you sign an NDA the moment you enter the door. I always assumed it's natural for ugly corporatey giants.

False.

I lost 30kg last year and this article goes against mant things I learned during this process.

Losing weight is all about willpower. People are solving the wrong problem. Instead of trying to find the perfect diet you should be trying to increase your willpower.

Felling hungry is inevitable, sure you can eat veggies until you are bloated (like the article suggest) but you will still fell hungry when you see someone eating a pizza.
FBI opens thorny Steve Jobs 1991 investigation file
I think you're right that it doesn't have built-in simplification of vendor prefixes, but they are trivial to implement into mix-ins (the example on the page you linked shows how), and I suspect it's one of the first things people set up when starting with LESS
Experimental? Gradients are almost certainly not experimental -- they are even supported in IE 8 (though through a non-standard way, thanks MS) -- nor should scaling be experimental (there is nothing experimental about it).
No he was put in charge of the advanced research division. They basically stripped him of all managerial duties without firing him. When presented with his new position and title he was like, "F it, I'm outta here!"

Firing a company founder is probably the last thing any publicly traded would do. It's just not done. You'd have sympathetic stockholders rioting, the neutral ones now pissed at you, and every last member of the board fired as well.

The 2012 M&A powder keg
I've had a Nexus for two months now (since launch day on Verizon) and I have only two real gripes about it. Otherwise, performance has been good, the screen is gorgeous, and I've been happy with ICS.

The camera quality is really bad. When using the flash indoors, the colors seem to be off by a mile. You can turn off the flash but then images are (obviously) dark and blurry. It's disappointing because things like the zero-shutter-lag and panorama features should make this an awesome camera phone, but it seems like they skimped on the camera hardware. Or maybe I just have a bum unit and I should make a warranty claim?

My other issue is the size. It seems that every flagship device (that is, one with specs worth buying at all) on the Android platform is engaged in this arms race for bigger and bigger screens. Frankly I think the old Nexus One and the iPhone are the perfect size.

Apple seems to have no problem selling 3.5" screen phones like hotcakes, so I don't know why the Android manufacturers think that the only way to sell phones is to have giant devices.

I don't necessarily expect candidates to have perfect syntax for a given language. (there's a presumption that they would be able to look up correct syntax in practice) At the same time, if you're unable to express your ideas in something close to real code, it is a signal that you're not sufficiently familiar with the language you chose.
So many details to love about this. The little angle control at bottom middle is beautifully interactive. Also the transitions between clouds as you change parameters or choose new words.
The cap is based on the maximum income that is subject to the payroll tax (up to $106,800). Income over that amount does not incur payroll tax and also doesn't contribute to payable social security benefits.
Wow 7 years of graphic design, 5 years of piano, and 10 years of study as an oral surgeon and you're only 25!

Sounds like you should pick up some skills in Mobile Development and solve a problem that you've encountered through out your extremely diverse life experiences. I recommend mobile because the distribution mechanisms are straight forward and more accessible.

Don't worry so much about whether some of these problems have already been tackled by others, but think about how you could solve them better.
I'm with you on this one. I don't get the whole whiteboard code thing and I have no idea why you're getting downvoted. :/
Then it is closed. Whatever.

And I am all for letting MS back in, at such time that they:

1) Decouple their browser updates from their OS.
2) Make it automatically update to the latest version, just like Firefox and Chrome. It should be possible to turn this of, just like Chrome, but not on a group basis.
Yes, I've seen FOI'd files before with whole sections redacted for various reasons, including national security.
Maybe, but the whole point of these interviews are to try to determine how susceptible a person is to being "turned", that is, blackmailed/bribed/forced against their will to working against US interests.

Maybe the FBI is being stodgy, but if someone has been addicted to certain illegal drugs (I know, I know, use doesn't mean addiction) that's one additional angle an "enemy" could use to exploit this person.
The browser makers should always be compatible with the standard, the new features shouldn't break the expectations of web page creators which they get after reading the standard. http://www.quirksmode.org/
Friends don't let friends use snake oil encryption, like the kind offered by "on-disk" solutions. That thing even has key escrow - either cheaply-implemented 'trusted' hardware, or a second 'secret' key known by every copy of the unlocking software! There's little impetus for widespread analysis of any of these proprietary solutions, as there's too many models to focus on. If you actually want to protect your data, stick with the standard software FDE for your OS - it should be a one-click option (and hopefully the default) at installation time.
Thanks!

Yes, I've thought about using invisible silhouettes, which presumably is how http://www.tagxedo.com/ works. The placement algorithm might be a bit different though, perhaps starting at the centroid of available areas and so on. I think it would work better to have a smaller pool of words and allow reuse, or alternatively they could be sized randomly (perhaps with some weighting).

The sprite collision code could certainly be reused for this, though!

Yep. Looks like he's the man for the position.

I've interviewed for small companies that want an NDA at the front door too.
One of my favorite tidbits from "The Best And The Brightest" is that Dean Rusk, President Kennedy's nominee for Secretary of State, had to fill out a security questionnaire like this one, and to the question, "Have any of your relatives been part of an organization whose purpose was to subvert the government of the United States?" he answered "yes" because both his grandfathers had fought for the Confederacy in the Civil War.
Is it possible to single out a specific browser to provide an enhanced experience? Yes. Is it possible to deliver a lowest common denominator experience to mobile browsers and IE? Yes. Are these options mutually exclusive? No.

Your perspectives are not incompatible.
do employers really expect candidates to right syntax accurate code on a whiteboard?

Yes they do. I've still got my Google 'Hire Squad' t-shirt somewhere (when you get trained on how to do interviews at Google you used to get a t-shirt) And they expect the interviewer to transcribe what you write on the white board into your feedback so that the hiring committee can read your notes and know what you're talking about.

You see the part you've missed here is that at Google, the person doing the interviewing has nothing at all with the person deciding if you should be hired. They interview you, using the techniques they were trained to use, they transcribe the whole thing like a court reporter, adding what color they can and a float between 0 and 4 (0 is 'run way', 4 is 'walks on water') And the then that goes into a 'packet' which gets sent to a hiring commitee where a different bunch of people read it (and the notes of everyone else) and they they decide if you are going to move forward in the process.

Writing syntax accurate code on the white board is always a plus. Although one candidate on seeing the dozen different color markers, wrote both syntax accurate and colorized code. That was good for a chuckle (and strangely I think it got them points in the committee).

OR you can hand the applicants a laptop and allow them to write code, which is what they are going to be doing on the job presumably. or does Google develop their applications on whiteboards now? I'm thinking a Minority Report-esque digital screen that programmers drag/drop with voice activation to "code".

In all seriousness, I really don't get whiteboarding in interviews.
> Jaroslav Flegr is no kook. And yet, for years, he suspected his mind had been taken over by parasites that had invaded his brain. So the prolific biologist took his science-fiction hunch into the lab. What he’s now discovering will startle you. Could tiny organisms carried by house cats be creeping into our brains, causing everything from car wrecks to schizophrenia? A biologist’s science- fiction hunch is gaining credence and shaping the emerging science of mind- controlling parasites.

Pretty out there. Specifically, Flegr describes the changes to his personality:

> For example, he says, he thought nothing of crossing the street in the middle of dense traffic, “and if cars honked at me, I didn’t jump out of the way.” He also made no effort to hide his scorn for the Communists who ruled Czechoslovakia for most of his early adulthood. “It was very risky to openly speak your mind at that time,” he says. “I was lucky I wasn’t imprisoned.” And during a research stint in eastern Turkey, when the strife-torn region frequently erupted in gunfire, he recalls being “very calm.” In contrast, he says, “my colleagues were terrified. I wondered what was wrong with myself.”
To expand on liber8's point, the "red scare" and such seems funny and unreasonable now, but it's important to remember that during the cold war, the USA and the Soviet Union were very much enemies.

To put it in another way, would we think the FBI was out-of-bounds today if background checks today included determining if the person being vetted (or their family members) were associated with a terrorist organization? As much as most of us would consider the "terrorism" threat overblown, we'd accuse the FBI of gross negligence if an Al-Qaeda operative made it into a position in the US government.

Invest in a way to help people maintain their teeth better. Any improvement in technology in this field would benefit a very large amount of people, and reduce pain and discomfort for people. This is something people would be very willing to pay for. Perhaps you can imagine some areas within dentistry where you could improve things? If you have a good idea to improve people's oral health, then I would be interested in investing the same amount as you in your idea.

This is science and engineering not statistics. It is not a numbers game or "monkeys on typewriters" or how many bug reports we can file on the same issue to get said issue fixed!

At the end of the day, if even ONE person demonstrates scientific or engineering knowledge that shows a serious safety concern, then why would you actively choose to ignore it. Period.

I work at Google. We write (diagrams and code) on whiteboards on a regular basis. We don't ask you to do it during an interview because we're sadists, we ask you to do it during an interview because working here, you will be doing it in the course of your ordinary work.

Beyond that, someone who's able to code on a whiteboard will a fortiori be able to code with a keyboard and editor, and will typically code better with a keyboard and editor than someone who relies on the keyboard and editor to be able to code.

It's a problem only in that other vendors want the sites to work with their browser. For really popular sites Mozilla hardcodes workarounds, it's very unfortunate. There's a fine line between sticking to spec and bad user experience so sometimes the vendors are forced to do things they'd prefer not to.

From my perspective the market should work things out. If a transition doesn't work in Firefox, those users will complain and the developers will fix it; or they won't and people will stop using the services.
