I do the same so I aliased it to just "chrome", "firefox", etc.

Well .org is pretty much the standard TLD for open source projects. While it would be "cool" to use .io it might confuse some people.

It's very common for example that projects have an .org for their Open Source software and .com or other for their business behind it (see wordpress.org vs wordpress.com)

It's not your connection, they don't load for me as well.

I'd say so too. Many languages say that everything NOT false or null is true.

My question to other android developers and especially people in hiring positions:

Do you think such a certificate would be a deciding factor in the hiring process? (Especially for entry-level positions, but also generally)

It's free if you don't want/need the certificate and personal coaching.

Hm... for me it's there

What are the main disadvantages of using python for SICP?

I think Apple has the potential to change the way we handle information in both schools and hospitals (and of course private practices). Both of these are usually still using outdated Hardware/Software from ~2000 so they will have to be replaced in the near future.

I just don't know if it's good for a school to buy into a closed environment, like the one Apple provides.

I'm currently deploying to Heroku during development and will switch to a VPS again as soon as the Heroku free plan isn't sufficient anymore or I go into production.

I don't use dedicated servers. Too much work for too little reward.

My choices for the german readers here:

https://www.jiffybox.de/ - cheap scalable(!) VPS, nice UI, easy cloning of existing "boxes", backups, etc.

https://www.hetzner.de/ - cheap dedicated, low-end VPS, etc.

Well it was an anecdote but there are many people out there experiencing the same. (Google) Probably some problems with the drivers for AMD graphic cards. Even after disabling all the 3D effects, etc. the UI has a significant response delay. Same on my Asus EEE PC which features a whole different configuration.

Ubuntu/Unity doesn't even manage to run smoothly on my 8GB RAM, 6 core machine. I don't want to imagine how it would run on a TV.

could you elaborate on that thought a bit?

SOPA and the people who wrote it don't give a shit about creative people making more money out of it. This is all a move organized by the agencies, corporations, etc. who used to be essential for every creative to market himself and reach his target audience. The internet made them more or less obsolete and now they're fighting against it.

There are numerous examples of "creative people" making good money out of their work on the internet, without worrying about piracy too much.

SOPA is severely limiting creative people. I mean how many of those started out editing some other youtube-video, performing a well-known song and putting it on the internet, just googling some images and throwing them together in a new way, etc...

I think there is insufficient information on the pages on what to do, since you require very specific commands and there are no hints whatsoever.

I love the idea though. If someone would be interested on working(for fun and as a learning experience) on something like this with html5 canvas and some graphics and all with a Ruby or Python back-end, tell me :D

AWS is a way better solution. Especially if combined with CloudFront, since some people are targeting outside of the US :)

I personally don't like the default theme that Octopress comes with, so after I tried rolling with Octopress I digged deeper and made a custom Jekyll Site. Awesome learning experience and dead-simple deploy

Wow. Just two days ago I wondered how the world would look like without being plastered with every kind of advertisment. I have to say I am so sick of going through my city and being bombarded with attention suckers from every direction. Same thing on the internet when I'm trying to read an article that is left aligned, makes up 20% of my monitor width and has blinking ads all around it.

I AM SICK OF IT. I would love to see a new movement to lower the amount of ads we are faced with each day and give us back our ability to concentrate on what's really important.

Anyone know what happend to Google Drive? Was really looking forward to it...

Same here. I think the return to "do whatever you want and we try to interpret it correctly" was wrong. Code in XHTML is way more readable, maintainable and easier to learn (IMO).

I still write my HTML5 in correct XHTML Syntax.

Kroes called for "tracking technologies, to permit a totally transparent process for artists and intermediaries to find out who is looking at what artwork when and to distribute revenues accordingly”.

I think we all know where this is going.

Same here. I'm really trying hard to get into freelancing but since I'm not really good in networking I haven't come around to get a decent project yet. My current plan is building a strong online portfolio, which is hard to do without find any gigs.

If anyone is looking for a jr. front-end Dev., Wordpress Dev. or beginning Rails Dev. drop me a line. I'd appreciate it :) Languages: JS, Python, Ruby, PHP

BTW: It would be awesome if someone could start a site with projects for BEGINNING Freelancers or for people with less experience than usual.

It could make sense for smaller projects and could even feature something like more experienced "buddys" who watch over the process? Just some ideas :)

I think the online classes with ready-to-go coding insie the browser are something to be really excited about. They lower the barrier into programming by so many levels...

True. It's important to know when to stop something. Sometimes the project just isn't worth your time anymore

It's kind of funny how a summer project of 3 students lets the effort of a backed SV startup look like a project from a 13 year old child.

I mean what are "knowlabs" even contributing here? The Videos are hosted on Youtube and recorded using... PAPER???

Ok you might say: but there are quizzes!! Those quizzes are the least userfriendly quizzed I've seen in my life. ML & DB-class are way ahead on this front.

"A new Android application will follow soon."

The first point is actually the best thing that has come from Mobile Design thus far. It significantly reduced the amount of unnecessary distracting Ads on the page. Since, as you've said, they are usually used to fill the space larger Environments offer.

I've used the mobile first approach for my last project and I think a site isn't truly responsive if it hasn't a liquid(%) layout. Building those layouts is a pretty messy thing though :(

I'm really not happy with the current situation of web design. Especially the "looks great on every screen AND device" part. To create a truly responsive Design you have to incorporate Orientation, Width, Height, Pixel density and much more. (which usually nobody bothers with since this would be way to complicated) People are using only subsets of these, so the sites often break on different devices, etc.

Then there's the problem with the content. Mobile users won't necessarily need all the things Desktop users do, since they usually have a very clear picture of what they want to do on the site. There needs to be an easy server-side implementation for such things. (would love to hear about it if someone knows any related projects)

PS: Please allow your users do "default" to a standard-version. I've seen so many sites break on mobile phones, making them completely useless...
