Re:Google Optimize: Google’s New A/B Testing Product

If you want to integrate GTM with your internal source control system, they have a programmatic API that you can tie into your build process:
https://developers.google.com/tag-manager/api/v1/
And if you want to lock down what kinds tags can run on your site, they have a nice whitelisting/blacklisting system that lets you block capabilities (e.g. customScripts to block arbitrary JS):

Tagging is friction on Ad campaigns. Remove that friction and marketers can run more/better campaigns, thus spending more money with Google.

How do you know that Chrome and Safari are supported? Is there some documentation of this? A list somewhere? If so, Facebook should at least link to that page from here.

Re:Ask HN: Cache Invalidation API in browsers?

I don't know how well this works in practice, but it appears HTTP clients can force a check with the origin server if needed:
http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec13.html
"...request with a "Cache-Control: max-age=0" directive (see section 14.9), to force a check with the origin server."

The document.cookie API has to be the worst API ever invented. I'd fix that and resolve the differences between JS and HTTP cookies.

Re:Preparing CS students for programming interviews from day one
on Monday February 21, 2011 @03:24PM (#2246996)
Whenever a candidate can't get it on their own, I give progressively better hints until they come close. This helps you gauge how many hints they need in comparison to other candidates and it moves the process forward.
Then move onto a different topic or skill. No one is good at everything or experienced in all fields. Plenty of candidates will do poorly on one question and then nail the next.

"If we are to use a medical analogy, imagine interviewing an experienced surgeon...'What is a scalpel?...show how you'd cut in that case'...such a situation is unimaginable."
I don't think this analogy tells us anything (other than that's not how the medical field works). Why is this situation unimaginable? What exactly would be wrong with this approach?
I do a couple tech interviews a week and I regularly see people with very impressive resumes that can't code fizzbuzz. The job largely consists of writing software; I see no problem with requiring candidates to demonstrate that they can, in fact, write software. I don't want to work with people that think they're too good to demonstrate their skills.

Pretty sensationalist headline. "Google exploring ways to increase screen space for content" would be more accurate, but I guess that doesn't get clicks.

It would have been very easy for Google to cave to criticism about Chrome OS and Android. Instead, they're letting things play out. Having used both, I think it's going to turn out to be a pretty smart bet. At the very least, you have to applaud that they're willing to take risks like this.

While, I don't really like that these "offenses" are stored permanently, I would like a way to anonymously notify a driver they're doing something wrong.
I can't stand smokers that throw their (sometimes still lit) butts out the window. It would be nice to have some way to vent other than road rage.
