You forgot to capitalize "Cloud".

Believe it or not, this is actually in an RFC: http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2324

orr94on A 33-Year-Old NPR Story Convinced Me Google Glass Will Stop Looking So Dorky

> the primary negative reaction is the voyeuristic-rejection of having a camera always pointed at you (that may or may not be recording). To which the analogy vs. headphones is not relevant.

That isn't the theme of the article, though. The author was just addressing whether Google Glass would stop looking dorky, not whether we'd be comfortable with the voyeurism. So I think the analogy is valid, and I suspect will be proven true.

Wow, that's a lot of ads.

orr94on How PayPal is being revolutionized by Node.js and Lean UX

I totally agree about the persistent navbars. If they are really slim, I can tolerate it. That one is obnoxious.

orr94on How I Cost the Government $499 Million

tl;dr

I am brilliant, and I could have done a way better job of building healthcare.gov for 0.2% of the cost. Unfortunately, I was too busy working on all my other awesome projects that have nothing to do with big government systems or the healthcare industry.

Also, that stock chart was ridiculous. At any given point on the x axis where the value was higher than the previous point, you could cut it off and say "look, we're at a peak!"

Are all Business Insider articles glorified Buzzfeed articles? Just change the title to "10 Signs That The Tech Sector Is In A Massive Bubble" and it could be on Buzzfeed.

Pretty cool. Audio lags behind video, at least in Super Mario.

Here's why this needs to pass: we need bold changes, and we won't know what works until we try it. So here's a bold plan, which seems to work on paper. I wish Pennsylvania would try something like this, or at least something better than the "slash public education funding" plan.

orr94on For modern development Javascript indeed is a shit language

> In a normal situation this would have been fixed simply by adding a wait primitive to the language which would schedule the events when the result is still being fetched... 80 percent of the programming is about doing one motherfucking thing with another motherfucking thing and you need both of them to complete the action.

I love JavaScript, but I totally agree with this.

orr94on Developers: What do you consider a 'good' interview question?

I get the best results from just asking them to describe something they've worked on that they're particularly proud of, or was particularly difficult. And keep prodding for more details to get a real feel for how the person works. Basically, pretend you have just taken over a project and are trying to get more information on it from one of the developers on your team. You'll find out a lot about the person in a conversation like this, far more than from purely theoretical or "the answer is B" questions.
