Your comment history indicates that this is a troll account, but I'll reply in case a bystander takes your post seriously:

Ember is actually composed of many smaller, independent packages. For example, we built four microlibraries for use in Ember that you can use totally independently: router.js, route-recognizer.js, rsvp.js and metamorph.js.

Additionally, many people use other great projects from the JavaScript ecosystem to do Ember development, like D3, Crossfilter, mocha, Jasmine, etc. Your assertion that it does not work together or integrate with other tools is 100% false.

I'll play around with it, but needs a bit more functionality before I consider making it a regular part of my toolkit.
Interestingly enough, whoever downvoted it didn't bother to counter-argument. Because yeah, why bother?
I've been treating Ember-Data very cautiously, and feeding it carefully prepared data. The biggest irritations involve multi-record commits and validation/error handling. But it's working well enough for my straightforward needs. Still, don't touch it unless you like reading the source, and you're willing to use something that's marked "NOT PRODUCTION READY".

The Ember.js tutorial situation is abominable, but I see two or three new tutorials are out in the last two weeks. And after much head-scratching, I finally figured out what's up with Routes vs. Controllers vs. Views.

Keeping all those caveats very firmly in mind, I'm really happy to be using Ember. My code is lot cleaner than that of my previous web apps, and features are getting done fast.

When it hits 1.0 (including Ember-Data!), I think it's going to be one of several excellent choices.
We had that. "Government cheese" was not always a metaphor. Neither were "food stamps".

As it turns out: it's better to just give people cash and let them make their own determinations and let the free market and substitution do its thing, than maintain a huge parallel infrastructure just to avoid hurt feelings over the idea that someone somewhere may buy a non-necessity with welfare dollars.

It costs the taxpayer less, people get better results, they have a better opportunity to learn and improve, etc. Some will abuse it, but some sold their government cheese and food stamps to buy non-essentials as well.

People complaining about the big screen TVs are flat-out disingenuous. They're either outright ignorant of history and/or of the specifics at hand [1], or they're lying to effect a policy change they couldn't justify with the truth.

[1] Studies have been done. The "welfare queen" and "strapping young bucks buying steak dinners" do not actually exist. Exceptions do, but they've never amounted to significant quantities of waste. And we already do search for, and ferret these people out.
I didn't downvote, but I disagree and I did try to hire someone. Whiteboard questions are next to useless because they are, essentially, a guessing game. The candidates need to guess what behavior the interviewer wants them to exert. Some interviewers simply use it as an idiot filter, while others want the person to explain their reasoning, wile yet another group is stupid enough to think it's representative of real coding habits of the candidate. If the candidates guess incorrectly, they will fail the question, regardless of who they are or how good they know their trade.

In short, interpretation of whiteboard questions is too damn subjective.

Anything really new would be like that. WebGL was also Firefox-only for a while, until Chrome decided to adopt it. To make them a standard across browsers you either need to make them very popular, and make the others have no choice but adopting it, or collaborating.

Cool product! We've been working on this stuff (and a lot more) over at VideoView.com. Right now we're working on an entirely new video interview recording application which is kind of like a very extended version of this.

Our experience has been that one of the biggest challenges is actually in getting the average (non-technical) user to be guided through the webcam and audio setup process. There's nothing as frustrating to a user as thinking they've recorded a video, only to discover that the audio didn't work or the video went wrong.

How do you handle that with CameraTag?

The problem is that recruiters carpet email (bomb) programmers, for many of them it's a numbers game. They aren't interested in taking the time to get to know you and frankly I don't expect that they do.

The best way, in my opinion, to get a new job is to be proactive and search for it yourself. Contact companies directly, use your network and see how you get on.

Recruiters sadly aren't interested making friends.

Thank you! That no recruiting recruiter email is such a buzzkill.

Even if the company itself looks interesting, just the fact that they sent some brocruiter to flood prospects with emails just makes me question the wisdom of the folks behind the company. I can appreciate a lax attitude at work up to a point, but beyond that, there's no real productivity. It's like the days before the dot com bubble when VCs were dumping cash on a potential product sold on hype.

Exactly – as I said, if you're looking for anything approaching a 100% "protection", then it's my contention that it will long since crossed that line into obnoxiousness.

Your point about trivial DRM working well exemplifies just makes my point –- "does it become painful to deal with your product because of all of the DRM? Do you treat consumers like criminals? Is it significantly less hassle to pirate than it is to buy/rent/view legally (and likely pay for)? If any of those are true, you will tip the balance away from a completely successful business model."

If the DRM is minimal and unobtrusive, then it doesn't meet my stipulations, above, and it's probably found some sort of happy-medium. (FWIW, I think most of Apple's DRM approaches in the iTunes store have gotten close, except for the device lock-in)
Conversation about semicolons? During a job interview? I'm sorry, but this is a waste of time. Why don't you talk about, you know, algorithms? Concurrency? Databases? Testing? Or anything that is more than remotely relevant to the job?

I think the assumption generally is that some women will feel uncomfortable with a sex jokes in an audience where they tend to be a small minority. My experience as a man is that women in groups are at least as prone to telling dirty jokes as men, but I can understand that if you're one of a handful of women in a room full of men it might feel quite different.
> 7% (or whatever -- pick your favorite metric)

If you add 4.8% people on well-fare, 2% convicts, some percentage of people that sustain themselves via petty crimes, and large number of government employees that don't do anything actually useful and also employees that are employed by private sector and their employer would like to fire them because they cost more then they are worth, but can't fire them due to various mass agreement, union restrictions and general PR ..... you end up with pretty high number number.
Emailed reports are usually project-specific, like "Projects X and Y are done, I'm stalled on project Z with this issue...".

In person it's usually a 2-minute meeting where we clarify which projects are done, which are priorities, etc.

...and sometimes the 2-minute update meetings turn into 2-hour planning meetings.
What I meant was that the large number of currently Windows-only Chinese desktop applications will not be the biggest obstacle to Chinese users adobting Ubuntu, because they can be ported, and Canonical is working with the Chinese government to port the most popular ones ahead of time.

The number of Chinese websites out there with ActiveX dependencies is probably much greater, and you can't really "port" a website. Good luck getting all those Chinese web developers to fix their sites.

If Canonical bundled a web browser that supported ActiveX, that would temporarily resolve the problem (while enabling it to perpetuate), but I'm not sure if Microsoft's licenses even allow a non-IE browser to re-implement ActiveX.

So, I think that not being able to browse many Chinese websites on other platforms is the main thing that keeps Chinese users locked into IE/Windows right now.

Perhaps, though, my knowledge is outdated and ActiveX plugins aren't as ubiquitous in China as they used to be.

Not just false positives in a confirm/deny scenario. It can also lead to overfitting in a modeling scenario.

I once created a model that showed very strongly that US/China exchange rates were a driver of revenue. This model was intuitive based on the market dynamics as we understood them, and they helped provide a strong predictive power which helped reduce operational costs. Over time, this model began to be taken as irrefutable truth among quite a few people in the org. Then when the economy collapsed, we very quickly learned that it wasn't US/China exchange rates that was the strong predictor, but rather something else which correlated with those rates.

Not only was the model broken, but it had now breeched trust in the ability of model based forecasts. In other words, if I were a business, I would be bankrupt.

I think the best value-add that you can possibly provide with your service is a way of helping your customers understand what is meaningful and what isn't.

Interesting that Shark Tank can take 5% equity or 2% royalty regardless. More than a handful of companies did extremely well after appearing on the show despite no investment. They did well due to the exposure, and cashed in on it. Clearly Shark Tank understands this and wants a piece of the action.

I've played around with Bootstrap and didn't like the idea of trying to replicate MVC on the client. Like the article said, I'm not yet ready to move away from server side frameworks for the most part. However, I like the data binding style of programming a rich client UI and I've actually found that Knockout.js is really nice for just doing that part. Does this seem reasonable? Would I gain anything by moving to Ember to do the same thing?
There were some legal copying fights in fashion just like there were some in music... but that's not my field, so i will lack concrete examples.

Also, product design has very much copyright protection and you also find utilitarian design elevated to the form of art.

Yeah, with MySQL. You've probably got a pretty good point there. If I were to start a site myself one of the first things I'd do is never use MySQL, though it does improve ever so slowly.

In the latest version(beta?) you can actually have a column with 'default current_timestamp' and a column with 'on update current_timestamp' in the same table after years of only being able to have 1 column per table auto that way.

I don't remember the details, but I think I had to fill a column with zeros all the way down just to drop the whole column in the migration anyway or something along those lines.

I don't think that's true, given how Backbone and Angular are designed.
I agree with you. I took notice of how the backlash was disproportionate as you mentioned, and I believe its because of what I've heard people describe as "racial fatigue" (in this case it's gender). The media is constantly bombarding us with racial issues, and at times even finds ways to racially charge stories that have nothing to do with race. I'm sure the accused party (white people, or Men in general) gets tired of being portrayed as the proverbial villain, so when someone attempts to blow something out of proportion under the banner of sexism(and it turns out to be bullshit), you get this colossal shit storm.
With the current model, your charges would spike. Which is bad.

So has there been a recent change to the Apple.com homepage? I ask this before going on an unfounded rant here...but it is *king aggravating trying to figure out where you're supposed to even login to your account on the Apple home page. I wanted to see if this exploit worked on my account but literally could not find the login area...I had to randomly click through the help docs until it took me to the "iforgot.apple.com". The only time I saw an evident "My Account" link is by clicking on the Store tab, and even then you have to notice that the top-right corner nav has changed to include an "Account" link.

I recently had to report my iPod stolen to the cops. It's a testament to both how often cops have to deal with stolen iDevices and how confusing the Apple homepage is, that I had to have the cop walk me through how to login to my account on the Apple homepage to get to the device information he needed.

The domains apple.com, store.apple.com, secure2.store.apple.com (which you go to after you've logged in), and iforgot.apple.com all seem to use different templates, sometimes even different metrics and external code files. I wonder how much of what seems to be a unified storefront is actually a bunch of balkanized subdomains?
The thing is that ruby is actually easier to install than php - on your own computer. Having a rails hosting environment as ubiquitous as php is a completely different story. I don't see how any single person would be able to do that.
That's bad interviewing, not bad practice. Get rid of the guessing. Make sure you explain to the candidate exactly what you're looking for.

I use whiteboard coding .. and it's not to catch you out on semi colons. I even tell my candidates that they can use any language they want or even mix them together or make up their own.

What I want to see on the whiteboard is a logical, working solution to a simple problem. And if your brain freezes up because it's an "interview", I'm going to push you in the right direction.

Once you have an initial working solution, we're going to chat about how it works. If there are cases where it would fail. What assumptions we've made about input. Maybe we'll (both) even jump over to another whiteboard and write a new version based on our discussion. (Do your eyes light up when we've found a cool optimization??)

The only language caveat I use: you can't have a call a function called doitforme()

No argument about the parasites at the top of society, but the ones at the bottom do incur far more than just a rounding error.

I've always thought the basic income idea is interesting, but I'm not sure how it could be made to work. If everyone receives a basic income, then those who earn more must pay back enough in taxes to cover their own basic income and then some. How this is really different than what we have today? People who receive government benefits get them mostly in the form of discretionary income. The argument goes back to "who" and "how much."

You're talking about startup time, which is bad in this case because of the overhead Rubygems introduces by adding loads of directories to the require load path. Pre-rubygems, everything lived in a traditional $PREFIX/lib/ruby/{,site-ruby/}$VERSION/ directory just like Perl and Python, and startup times were much more comparable.

Atwood is talking about general runtime performance, and comparing it with the fast, mature JITed VMs that drive CLR languages. Python (and indeed other languages in its class) compare just as badly there.
