many employers request that employees provide a disclosure when discussing their products on social media

It gets elaborate but you can essentially buy email address -> cookie mappings or make your own. You then sync those cookies with the ad exchange and then they're returned to you w…

Successful spammers are absolutely targeting their emails. It's similar to when you search for something on Amazon and then see ads for it on Facebook -- the goal is to put an ad i…

Google runs display ads, which are bid on by third parties who can use that data to target emails.

gunicorn + meinheld is even better than gevent in my experience. meinheld is written in C and offers a monkey patch option, and is a little bit faster than gevent. i'm using it wit…

forget about the $3k you have left, what about the money you've already put in? it doesn't look like I can sign up anywhere to get any sort of service, so you have no way to genera…

your library has no tests! it's a good effort but I honestly wouldn't use it yet. a few nit picks: i can't imagine a scenario where i'd want my logger to close stdout (or any other…

please don't do that. part of what makes using jquery plugins so horrific is that every new version is a "total rewrite" and/or drastically changes the API. the API might use hunga…

why? college is not a job training facility and shouldn't be treated like one. high school's goal is to provide a broad education so a graduate can have the basic knowledge necessa…

i've found scrum to be the worst possible "methodology" on the planet and can't stand pair programming. i've also been known to get things done on occasion. nothing about making so…

couldn't agree more. if i had to come up with a permutation algorithm as part of writing code, you'd better believe i'd look one up so that i'm sure i'm doing things optimally. i w…

that question is a bit of a turn-off to me. obviously "benchmark it, see what's slowest, and make it faster" is a correct answer, and so is a 40 page essay about browser rendering,…

it's very common for people to be as compliant as possible during the hiring process so as not to jeopardize the job, especially their first job out of school. that tends to be the…

they don't expect the work to be done solely by volunteers, and are going to ask for donations on their website. it's laid out in the first paragraphs: The task is huge and it's un…

your kernel is already thin and light. if you're using a modular kernel, as most distros default to, you're only loading the modules you need and can use. as for apps and packages,…

the economics might not work out. if it brings in $30k a year, it's not worth the long days and exhaustion of keeping the service running. i'd be comfortable paying about $10/yr fo…

they'd do much better with twisted (python) than tornado. using Deferreds is nothing like opening keys with a beer bottle -- it makes a lot of sense. and as a former ITA Software e…

have any tips for applying? i sent in a resume the other day, but is there anything i can do/write/show to get a leg up on the process?

i'm pushing to github. reason i ask is that it segfaults -- see https://github.com/schacon/hg-git/issues/216

if hg-git uses dulwich, and it's all pure python, how come i see it running git-index-pack amongst other git (what i assume are shell) commands?

not mentioned in the article is that apparently Moose is a really good OO system for perl, but (in my opinion) about 10 years too late.
