For anyone wondering, there is indeed a solution to this puzzle. Be persistent!

For reference, the ranking used by the author is from US News & World Report[1]. While it's far from objective, it certainly holds enough merit such that UC Davis being the last school you would attend for CS sounds ridiculous.

The idea is that no single company or entity will be able to predict in the future what users need. Email is old, but it's far from perfect. I think a platform that lets developers today leverage their expertise on modern protocol technologies and practices is an excellent idea.

Is this factual? Or just conjecture? I can't tell from the content of the post itself, but a quick Google search revealed nothing.

What version of Chrome? The Speech libraries only work on v33 and up

Then perhaps it would be helpful to point out why you don't find the resources useful or relevant. Downvoting should be reserved for low-substance comments, not for hiding (it literally has the effect of hiding things from other people) information which you think is useless to you.

I'd say a man placing her hand in his unzipped pants counts as criminal behavior.

To anyone wondering, this is relevant to Jeff Atwood's recent blog post (http://blog.codinghorror.com/what-can-men-do/) where he quotes Sara's article.

Url dispatchers are important insofar as they allow an application developer to worry about just writing an application and defining its resources. If they had to configure url routes in the web server, that adds an additional layer of error and requires expertise at yet another level of the stack that they shouldn't need to have.

Likewise, a deployment engineer should not have to worry about the particular resources being served by an application. In other words, the interface between application and server should be as simple as possible, and url routing just makes more sense in the web framework because the application developer wants control over the resources and how to reach them.

Edit: The SF Chronicle is currently reaching out to the witnesses to get a better feel for the story. I'd expect something to come out in the mainstream news real soon.

Has this actually happened? I can't find any other news source confirming this.

Edit: Yeah, this actually did happen. Picture of the broken window: https://twitter.com/craigsfrost/status/414121201754468352/ph...

For anyone wondering why the author felt compelled to write this article, there is no answer.

This should hopefully save some Googling. There is no official talk of an Apple purchase of Nintendo.

Do you have a link for this? I can't find any information on it.

"So they basically made a machine the size of a room to do calculations any fourth grader could do? Probably loads of fun, but honestly I'm having trouble seeing the use. Find the sum of 2 + 2 isn't exactly a day-to-day event, and is probably better accomplished with pen and paper."

Technology this nascent probably aren't the best subjects of this type of argument. I think we should wait and see what this can become.

Pretty much everyone is guilty of using outside resources. She explains in her blog post that she used a lot of Google, SO, etc. Maybe she doesn't give exact citations for every piece of code she uses/takes inspiration from, but no one really does.

I don't think it's helpful to speculate as to whether she had someone in particular helping her throughout the lifetime of her project.

I suspect that if a similar project were done by a male, no one would question if it was a solo venture or not. I think the fact that Jennifer is a woman makes people suspicious enough to inspect the code and say things like, "it just seems like there was some outside help".

Maybe there was, maybe there wasn't. It's as disprovable as it would be if Jennifer was a man instead of a woman, yet only a woman would get called out on it.

Just make sure you don't live in those cities proper :P

She said that it -has not- given her a comprehensive understanding of software development, not that it has.

Also agree with the other comments, this is pretty elitist. There's just no reason to comment and say, "well I'm not impressed".

Is it possible to cut out some of the explanatory comments in the examples or to consolidate them somehow? It's difficult to see at a glance how the code looks, especially without any syntax highlighting at this stage
