At my company, we_almost_ fit that bill. We're not small, but we're not a large team either. The company was started as a PHP development shop 15 years ago but has switched tech an…

It's certainly something you could do, but don't be discouraged when you realise that your potential clients aren't too fond of being told their current online presence sucks. Perh…

Yes, that would be cool. I am curious as to how such a search would be performed by the user. Perhaps entering a duration in minutes and seconds and using arrow keys to shift the b…

I know that you only have one controller, but I don't think it's wise to reference each and every controller in one single angular.module(...).controller() declaration... Perhaps r…

The factorial example is used in many programming tutorials, not to teach you that you need to understand complicated mathematical theory to become a programmer (you don't, so don'…

The reasons we don't are pretty good ones. The first, and most important reason, is that native implementations of methods like `.forEach` are extremely slower than their native-fo…

Agreed. Plus, underscore's implementations are not as fast as their native equivalents. At least use lodash if you're going to be using an entire library, as it is faster. Otherwis…

That all depends on what you want to do, which direction you wish to go in. Do you want to start your own company? Do you want to settle for a stable job? Do you want to study? Ask…

He could apply for an H-1B visa - this is a work permit. Getting one is a challenge, as only 65,000 are awarded each year (and they disappear fast, 63,000 of the 65,000 for 2013 we…

I am in no way a proponent of racist culture, no matter who propagated this ad, it is still wrong and it is still gaining traction among the uneducated. Fake or not, it is becoming…

Fake or not, it is gaining traction and I've seen over a thousand comments agreeing with it, all from the lower class uneducated ethnic population. The ANC is currently under threa…

Captured this from my news feed on Facebook. This is the party responsible for a corrupt policing system, uneducated masses and one of the highest rape and murder rates per capita …

Hah, I wish. I'm barely in the $100K group. Soon, though. Soon. evil smirk >:)

They're there, you're just not looking hard enough. I commented on the author's post - what I spoke about might be of use to you too. Also, remember that as a person with internet …

This article is pretty old (2009) but as a born 'n bred South African I can definitely tell you this: The pigeon is _still_ faster.

It's an interesting idea, but I'm not sure how the gender inequality expressed in the introduction will fare. Ladies cheat too.

Remember that any websites styles are easily overwritten with a browser extension, GreaseMonkey/TamperMonkey user script or Stylish stylesheet, and the chances of someone already h…

In the meantime why not create a Chrome extension or Userscript to do this for you?

Less than 50, unfortunately charging anything more in this country (South Africa) as a freelancer is tough unless it's a PHP/CMS system project. But that's sublocation dependent. I…

I am heavily of the opinion that they are a blight on society. My father started a market research company years ago, and business was booming. Then there was a divorce and a crazy…

Node.js is not a framework for developing web applications. Express.js is a framework for developing web applications on the Node.js platform. As per the question, I tend to go tow…

I wish I had the time to write cleaner code at work - the company ethos is to strive for progress and not perfection, as that could come later... Buncha nitwits. At least there's t…

It's worth noting that Sun Micro-systems is pretty far up the corporate ladder and likely had the resources to prove the candidate was irreplaceable during that time. This might no…

I'm not a criminal attorney (which is who this question should be directed to) but my opinion is that the sentence is too short to validate such a program.
