Does Adobe Flash support exporting to SVG? Adobe should capitalize on all this SVG hype and make an advanced animated SVG / javascript editor, because there aren't any right now AFAIK.

Although the top tier candidates may not be applying at many places, they are receiving many more first, second, or even third interviews. Thus, their timing is tight in a two week window near the end of school when they start receiving offers. Near-Bottom-tier candidates may receive less interviews and are incentivized to perform more desperate acts in order to receive interviews, and thus have more time for puzzle-based applications.

But as I said, it's not too big of a deal, if they would only post ahead of time how long puzzles would be active, so one could complete them before this tightly-timed period.

I think most people feel the same way, when people say they want flash to die I believe they are ok with playing webgames in flash. The most common frustration I have is browsing restaurant websites that use flash for their simple menus.

As a side note, I think there is also a subtle common UI pattern to abuse the hover feature on websites which is common in flash. It makes touch-based browsing more difficult and I wish web developers would avoid it. It isn't fair to blame flash for it though, javascript can do it too.

I want flash to die; I just don't want closed platform policies to kill it.

I was about to graduate graduate school, I had finals, final papers, and interviews. I had 2 companies which had hiring puzzles, and interviewed at 5 companies. I was really interested in ITA, unfortunately I couldn't schedule in the time to work on the hiring puzzle within the 2 week window this occurred.

I sort of imagine that these puzzles have an outlier effect: it removes the top and bottom users from a selection pool. Maybe that's okay, personally I was a bit disappointed at the missed opportunity.

One way they could improve this is by giving the puzzles expiration dates, removing the fear of completing one far ahead of the interview process, and having it expire. You'll still miss out on those who haven't heard of ITA until the near-graduation career fairs, but it will at least improve the situation.

I think the question we are all wondering is whether or not the computational engine here can be used to aid the dwarf decision making and increase automation and profit margins?

When trying out a new search engine, who here searches for their blog name to determine the "quality" of the engine? It highly ranks both of my blogs, whereas cuil did not.

At first, I asked myself "why shouldn't I just use the character map application built into every (windows) pc?", this may be organized, better, so I realized that the real question is "why is this branded as 'twitter' symbols?"

Are MPO and JPS mature formats? I'm not sure they are the best choice, but given 3d is getting ready for the mobile space, it seems clear we will want some sort of standard for 3d images, and eventually videos, soon.

You mean... the Issue 9 programming language blog?

Stack (data structure)

Computer science

Internet

Pornography

Bam!

Regardless, the assumption that pornography would be in every book assumes that you don't cluster the data to topics with strong clique behavior and normalize the data to remove overly-linked (aka obvious) topics.

It would actually be kind of cool if it followed the link graph for the article a couple articles deep, so you could get a customized book of concepts clustered around a main topic.

What he is doing isn't amazing so much that it is only one person doing it. He uses the bing link graph, though.

Quick someone make a program to transform this into dwarf fortress worlds.

Some of the reviews of movies were two sentences, unlike this review of your website.

No.... Not at all.

Sorry if I'm misunderstanding your reply due to its brevity, but again, error correction is the primary concern of these barcodes, and given that they are good error correctors, you can put what data you want within them, be it an underlying visual programming language or text.

If by "yet" you mean your proposal is to expand on these visual languages by making a programming language + error correction system, you're not adding any value that didn't exist before, it is the same thing as what already exists.

And besides, it's better to just give the user a URI and then they can download the application from a more robust location.

The idea of those barcodes is to maximize the reliable, storable information, regardless of format. If you make the information bytecode for a programming language, people would be able to get mobile phone apps from soda cans without needing to program in an esoteric programming language.

Using something like piet doesn't maximize reliability (error correction) and thus isn't good for that domain.

Here is my idea for a different direction to go in, but I think it digs at what you are trying to do:

You should change the description from "reusable todo lists WTF?" to "Sharable workflows for your everyday life", that would be a succinct description that markets it better.

You could argue that checklists are helpful: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/lloyd-i-sederer-md/is-your-doc... and that you help enable the creation and sharing of the knowledge required for processes.

You could then enable people to tag their checklists with uses "budget planning checklists", "software design checklist" etc.

But even still, there's not a lot of meat on your "app", it's basically a ReST cookbook application right now.

use case arguments aside, I have discovered a XSS vulnerability for you http://redo.heroku.com/72

subreddits are excellent.

Someone should make a startup and name it John Smith

Looks like the author should be developing his site with web standards ha hah ha ha!!

Wow, this is dangerous, given how dumb these people are, a less nice blog could be stealing passwords.

You make good arguments, but you didn't pull them out of a briefcase and hand them to me, so I'm not convinced.

It seems hardly fair that the waterloo students have already submitted their AI for it while the problem description page ( http://csclub.uwaterloo.ca/contest/problem_description.php ) is empty.

Agreed, yet it is so random and hard to predict who will attempt to enforce patents and which patents are actually valid that it is basically unfair to small companies who seek to compete and innovate.

I point it out because it is useful to always be mindful of their absurdity.
