This looks cool. Once I create some tests how do I execute them? The video shows a pretty slick plugin for Chrome, but can I execute the tests in all browsers? Under the covers is this using Webdriver? Also, how are you…
What's his email address?
Yeah, because body count is the only comparator that matters. Extremism is extremism. RMS is an extremist. I want nothing to do with someone who is incapable of empathizing with the other side.
Edit: Fuck you HN. RMS is an extremist. I should hope that most of you have the critical thinking skills to realize that his extremism is just as dangerous as Timothy McVeigh's. Edit 2: Honest question, how can I delete…
Dude is so strange. I mean seriously, who knows that much about that many kinds of esoteric music? It's like he wants to be contrary to the rest of the population on purpose.
As an independent contractor, one thing I feel I need to point out is that the hourly rate that the consultant gets, and the hourly rate the company gets charged for the consultant's time, are two VERY different things.…
+1 for Minneapolis. I pay pretty close attention to the start up scene here and things are starting to move. The Minne* Organization (http://minnestar.org/) does some nice events.
It's always interesting to hear how people go about solving math problems. You mention a pie chart visualization and then the much more labor intensive (but maybe "correct"?) method. I used a third way, which was…
Hippy :) I kid of course. I've never been able to get in to the jam bands. Many of my friends love Phish, the Dead, Umphrey's McGee, The Big Wu etc etc. I've tried to get in to their music, but every time they do those…
I'm genuinely curious, how are standups not status meetings? From the article: - Make sure everyone is working on the right thing - Help out other team members by taking work off their plate or helping them by sharing…
This is somewhat meta, sorry. What concerns me is that even in the face blistering internet rage, she dug in her heels and stood by her actions. Just apologize. Why is it so bloody hard for people these days to just…
Sure, she didn't need to apologize (and hasn't). Look how good that's worked out for her and SendGrid.
Yes, thank you very much! I constantly make this mistake. I've edited :)
Totally agree. The employer owns absolutely all responsibility for terminating the employee. However, I do not believe it would have been out of line for Adria to have said something like "I heard one of the guys in the…
One of the reasons I've taken an interest in this whole fiasco is that I occasionally make "colorful" jokes. Not dissimilar from the two guys at PyCon. I make every attempt to keep these jokes private between my friends…
Yes! This is my overarching goal currently. I'm trying to make as much money as possible building line of business apps so I can work on something I think is more important. I would still write software, even if I was…

On the plus side, if they're willing to share, I bet this will be a very interesting postmortem. Presumably Amazon.com is one of the more bulletproof web properties in the world. Whatever could have occurred to take it…
So a component subscribes to some event somewhere. Who's triggering the event? When you're debugging in Firebug or someplace, what does your call stack look like? How hard is it to find the source of the event? All you…

Wouldn't whitelisting conforming input be a better approach? I realize it may be more difficult, but wouldn't that be more secure? Edit: I'm genuinely interested - I always try and whitelist things when I'm building…
Client side rendering and single page applications are not the best solution for most applications. I posit that a partial page refresh approach using PJAX (or something like it) where the server always sends back HTML…
I agree with you to an extent. It's why I would choose different problems to solve than what Mr. Gates feels are important. However, I don't think the Gates Foundation and its efforts are in any way a net negative.…
I don't get the negativity in this thread. Bill Gates is trying to solve hard problems and people here are complaining. Sure, they may not be the problems that you think are most important, and I'm sure the foundation…
