HTML 4.01 in Netscape and Explorer: Tables | WebReference

by karlcow

Before we go on to talk about the various features of the HTML 4.0 Table model, it would be useful to note that Netscape supports almost none of it. Netscape only supports the HTML 3.2 Table model in its entirety, so you can read up on that if you want to design for Netscape. The rest of this section applies to Explorer only.

Unlimited Novelty: "Can you solve this problem for me on the whiteboard?"

by night.kame

Le blogueur.

My attitude is if I'm a good Ruby programmer, and you're trying to hire me when the supply for Ruby programmers is low and demand is high, that before you even talk to me you've spent at least 10 minutes Googling for my name, looking at my code, and figuring out who I am, rather than spending an hour subjecting me to a series of ad hoc programming questions in areas I may or may not specialize in. That 10 minutes of Google will tell you a lot more than asking me to come in and scribble stuff on a whiteboard.

Le commentateur.

I take your point about the interviewer asking appropriate questions for the interview. But it sounds to me like you're telling me your skills as a coder don't extend to making your ideas and plans understood without handing someone actual finished Ruby code, written on a laptop. If that's the case, then I can't work with you.

Je suis plutôt de l'avis du commentateur : quand on embauche un développeur, ça n'est pas pour travailler avec un sociopathe qui ne voit la vérité que dans son code. En même temps, c'est un Rubyiste, donc c'était à craindre.

The Way of Least Resistance: The "flinch reflex"

A successful Git branching model » nvie.com

by Spone & 4 others
In this post I present the development model that I’ve introduced for all of my projects (both at work and private) about a year ago, and which has turned out to be very successful. I’ve been meaning to write about it for a while now, but I’ve never really found the time to do so thoroughly, until now. I won’t talk about any of the projects’ details, merely about the branching strategy and release management.

Tough Talk On Emmanuelle Alt, Vogue Paris, Recycled Creativity, & Robo Websites - 2 Anne Enke's Sensuality Blog - AnneofCarversville.com

by sbrothier
I may have been the first fashion and style writer to call out big concerns about Emmanuelle Alt’s visionary capacity to lead Vogue Paris, but I’m no longer alone. It’s fine for Alt to lead the magazine in a new direction, but creative, captivating originality and freshness must rule. Carine Roitfeld is a tough act to follow. If she goes into the magazine business as rumoured, let Vogue Paris pray it’s only a semi-annual or quarterly.

Contact George

by gregg (via)
Are you ready? Meet George, a REAL guy with a really weird connection, a connection that lets you enter his world and interact with him as he tries to go on with his daily activities. What will you do next? You can be nice and just talk to him or tickle him or you can start annoying by poking him, screaming at him, squeezing him, holding your finger on him, shaking his room, making him loose balance and fall to the ground or playing tricks on him using various objects. You get to break his daily routine and mess with his mornings, while he is at the office, relaxing at home and even when he is asleep. He will try his best to make you smile.
