Interesting that communications lines are underneath water lines. The engineer in me wonders if that's a good idea, and also wonders if there's a good reason for it. Anyone have an…

Which theater? I'll start seeing films there :)

I don't think this problem is limited to just kids. This is something that annoys me about a lot of adults, lately. It often seems like conversations lately are devolving into peop…

No, we do some client-side prefiltering to ignore non-products, and we also do some more extensive server-side filtering. We also allow you to cancel snap processing, as well as go…

We do our own searching and wrote our own crawlers. Does that answer your question?

Good question- with Safari, we use the visible domain to help score the confidence for mobile websites. For native apps, we don't have any such "easy" confidence boost. So we have …

No, it detects the screenshots as you take them. (I helped build the app)

Nice, it's like Spy Party, but with an actual release. Nice job.

And a general lack of links throughout. Who doesn't hyperlink their table of contents? Or call a table of contents a glossary, for that matter...

It seems like this article is saying "H1B workers are not LITERALLY indentured servants, but here's a ton of reasons they are at a huge disadvantage." So basically the article is r…

Actually, a good code smell / architecture smell in a Rails app is if any given controller method is over 10-15 lines (And even that is on the large side IMHO). For example, I beli…

I think the font is decent, but I won't use it in its current iteration for the following reasons: 1. The lowercase 'm' is muddled and looks bad without anti-aliasing, downright ho…

It's telling that they don't know (or do know, but don't see the benefit in) RESTful interfaces. Which isn't a dead-end for the interview, it just leads to more questions to see wh…

Personally, I like using HTTP principles when interviewing web developer candidates. I'm not expecting people to know every detail of every RFC, or trivia type stuff in general. I …

There are a few TED talks, including from the 2012 Life Hacks series, that partly address the issue of happiness.
