    Good point. But I would like to know other side of the story too, not just from the CEO. Although, while I'm not an expert on France's labor laws, I agree laws in most EU countries…

    I know it's fun to hack things together but wouldn't a smartphone with evernote be a better solution? You can use phone's speech to text feature and access your list anywhere onlin…

    If I'm not mistaken: Altering a table can be costly and may cause a performance issues, specially if you have millions of records. Rows will be most likely locked and get updated a…

    I wonder why they didn't allow to work on network folders. It looks like all files must be local, otherwise it can open the folder and list files in sidebar but can not open indivi…

    One thing is not clear: What happens if I want some people (friends of friends etc) find me on facebook but they or others don't see my information on their hello app when I called…

    One possible downside of this technique would be searching in previous "pages" would be difficult / impossible. Since element is removed once its out of view port, browsers' search…

    I've checked their examples on http://t3js.org/examples/ and I appreciate the effort they put in but in general there is one thing I never understood with these examples : Why most…

    My 2 cents : * I would add more screenshots * I would avoid using narrow fonts. It might be personal thing but it's really difficult to read when font is too narrow http://i.imgur.…

    Have you asked them why they are started to writing a code in first place? Maybe, since it's a programming interview, they thought you are trying to measure their theoretical knowl…

    It looks like they have html5 player too, which plays the following file http://embed.wistia.com/deliveries/05b7d508543a1e8f7de01e27b... (900Mb, HD) edit: Although, I don't know if…

    Nice work. But I wonder how they handle table alterations, I couldn't see they mentioned on the docs. Is it possible at all? If it is, since pg_shard doesn't support transactions, …

    Yes they are actual issues : I had to renew one of my domains today and I'm really frustrated with the UI. I also realized I didn't checked namecheap for a while because I had same…

    NOT related with their ssl campaign but : What are the other trust able alternatives to Namecheap? I love them but after they "updated" their design, every time i try to buy/renew …

    Why people wants to believe it works ? Well, it has nothing to do with religion. Reason is same as using robots for manufacturing : It's cheap, fast and could be 7/24 on duty. Why …

    * Any folder in your project can have index.html and indeed it should have. * Parent talks about static pages, not about rails-ruby/php/python project. But i get your point : If so…

    There is too much options [0] and it's more flexible than it should be. I know , it sounds weird but with bootstrap all you have is 12 columns and when you have less options it's e…

    Ok, i'll play devil's advocate : Windcatcher works as same principle as evacuation slides on planes and even if it's about physics i think it's somehow ( design ? ) patented. So, w…

    I understand the advantages of using these tools but isn't it too much ? Node, Npm,Yeoman, Grunt, Bower just to bootstrap some font-end code, if you don't use node.js for back-end …
