Re:Will serving real HTML content make a website faster? on Wednesday September 21, 2022 @08:46PM (#32933533)
While it does leave out server rendering time, that could not possibly account for several seconds of difference. TTFB could maybe be increased by 300-500ms… 1/10th of what gains are happening here
Re:Being a “dumb” girl in Computer Science on Tuesday April 05, 2016 @12:47AM (#11427886)
I did and many of my classmates did as well (graduated in 2010).
This is a great move. Thank you.
If you wanted to keep the same informality, "guys and gals" would be the appropriate way to do this. As stated above, girl is a female child.
Re:How to Get a Job as a Developer in Less Than Six Months on Tuesday August 21, 2012 @11:16AM (#4413039)
I used to hire in a shop that did a lot of Ruby and if we were hiring for a junior position, Python was perfectly acceptable as a language to know. Knowing a dynamic language, being the type of person who teaches themselves, and being able to have visible code was what really mattered.

We found that we could drop capable juniors in a project that has some senior leadership and they were able to pick it up quickly.

Re:I will not learn Rails on Saturday March 17, 2012 @11:39AM (#3717289)
Yeah, I won't learn something because somebody might think that I'm a jerk for knowing it. This is mostly due to an uninformed, judgmental, and very specific piece of the populace who won't let something go from several years ago.

This is really great stuff. Kudos to the Edgecase/New Context teams.
Re:JQuery Mobile 1.1.0 RC1 on Tuesday February 28, 2012 @03:24PM (#3644811)
Sencha and jQuery Mobile seem to be solving two very different problems. jQM delivers something that works across a variety of browsers that Sencha is not capable of serving to. Doing this will limit some of the solutions that can be put into place, for certain.
Re:Waking up at 5am to code on Tuesday January 24, 2012 @01:45AM (#3503757)
I find that with the insane amount of meetings and interruptions I might face in any given day that don't contribute to "coding time," this works really well to ensure that I'm getting things done and to keep my mind fresh. I can then engage on the business side of things later without having that nagging feeling in the back of my head that something needs to get done.

Congratulations on another release!
Re:Signs that you are a bad programmer on Thursday October 20, 2011 @07:47PM (#3137663)
I think that if somebody just skips over programming-related things that they don't understand, it might be indicative that they are destined to be bad at programming.
Re:Four months with Android (An iOS user's exploration) on Monday October 17, 2011 @05:37PM (#3122578)
As a web developer, the Android web browser is now a constant nemesis for me. It's painfully slow and it doesn't adhere to HTML5 standards worth a damn.

iOS5's mobile safari works just like regular Safari, Android's browser, I don't know what it works like, but it certainly is the first thing I'd replace when I got an Android phone.
