This is f*cking beautiful.

i really really hope that you didn't know what they just released today...

surprisingly, at least in my observation, very little in the service industry is user-centered.

Your post made me immediately go measure a print I have hanging on my wall by binder clips because I got excited to finally put that print in a frame for a reasonable price...

...and was immediately let down when the price was pretty much just as expensive as a regular framer. Womp.

I joined and posted something and a few things jumped out: no place for a link to the project (if there's a home for it) and no way to edit or update posts. Weird.

IMHO the "Apple logo" is what's going to move product.

well this is awkward...

that's a pretty biased assumption. javascript is a perfectly fine language to learn to code in, especially given its prevalence and penetration. there's some weirdness to it, yes, but every language has its quirks.

I just don't get it, I guess.

I like the idea. I feel like a few seconds are spent trying to figure out what language it's in, but maybe I'm just a dummy.

TinkedIn? :)

This post is spot on. When I was a kid, I got my start when my dad wanted me to sell some stuff in the garage on this new site his buddy's son was using called eBay. I remember looking at all the other posts and wondering how they made the text different colors and put borders on things and found this world called HTML. I still have the notebook I used to write down all the cool things you could do with the various tags. Those were the days of not knowing what I didn't know. Now I definitely know what I don't know, and it's pretty terrifying and exhilarating.

Misleading title? Loops can be really efficient and beneficial, just maybe not in this very specific circumstance. I clicked on the article thinking it was a new programming trick on how to avoid loops to do the same work loops do.

SPOILER ALERT: it's not.

anyone else getting scrollbars distorting the page size when hovering over the "advance" arrow on the right side?

easy integration is cool, obviously, but 2.9% + .30 is the same price as paypal. businesses ultimately don't care about how easy it is to integrate but how much it costs.

and stop signs and traffic lights and people crossing the street whenever they damn well feel like it

this is my favorite quote from this book. thank you for reminding me.

I'm offended it was assumed the commenter was human.

let's be clear: i'm not advocating lazy-loading assets like jquery or your main app codebase. I'm talking about your ancillary files that may not get used on every visit, especially if your site is a single-page app.

That may work for a high-traffic site like Google, but what about sites that aren't in the Alexa top 10 (or even 1000)? ;)

It leads to more requests, but after page load, and only when you need the code. Why load code your app isn't necessarily going to use?

If your main source of energy is from light, and water diffracts light, potentially making it harder or less efficient to use, does it not make sense that the better you're able to keep your energy harvesters clear, the more energy you can create? Evolution at its finest :)

I'm not sure why there are so many negative comments here. This seems like a very well-executed collaborative document editing system, especially with "the button" that allows you to edit anywhere. Sure you can use Git or Word or whatever, but I feel this is super lightweight and easy. Great for small team/startup blog posts where you want to get everyone's feedback.

What's silly to me about the original argument is that the authors think that our ancestors fought in a kind of "put your dukes up" kind of fighting where only punches are thrown. While not an expert in the subject, I feel it's safe to assume that fights for mates and territory where the loser dies would not be fist fights but rather full-on fights to the death using every biological weapon available, including feet and teeth.

...but when a programmer who has gamed the system gets an interview and then is discovered to be a fraud, doesn't that defeat the purpose of using this service in the first place (to save thousands of interview hours, per the article)?

I feel like coding challenges like these are contrived and really prove nothing. Cool, you can create a "palindrome index." Can you effectively lazy load assets in an app on demand? Can you architect your CSS in a way that only the relevant styles show up on a page? Do you know why a standard for loop is faster in most cases than a for in loop? Tests like what this site is trying to do don't really prove anything other than you're good at solving puzzles with code whereas as an employer I'm more interested in the quality of your applicable code and architecting thought processes.

I'm not saying these tests are totally useless. Obviously it demonstrates a dev's ability to code within one or more languages, but they're hardly enough to make a hire off of. When it comes to building actual product, these tests always fall short.

This is really fun. Well done :)

While amazing generalists/full-stack guys are great, having very strong individuals own a particular domain of the code can have its benefits as well. Sure, you miss a bit of oversight, but when you're in the building phase and you just want to Get Shit Done, it helps if you don't have someone else mucking around in your code while you're building it.

While it may be functionally great, it just smells wrong to have a CSS property that you're pretty much only supposed to set via JS that you're supposed to remove after you've set it.

What am I missing? I just got this pre-determined list of links: https://github.com/frantzmiccoli/visited-captcha-history/blo...

I was impressed when this list came up, but suspicious because I hadn't visited reddit or github yet today.
