If you stick to standards, it should work on Firefox. How nice it would be if some other browsers also played by the rules coughchromecough

I switched to FF when Quantum came out and have not looked back. Chrome is bloatware. Plus using it is just encouraging its mission to obliterate any semblance of browser standards.

I've been in this industry for over 15 years. I don't have a single certification. I learnt everything by reading and doing. With your method, I would still know nothing.

Tinfoil Hat = paranoid, as in people who believe govt is sending mind control waves, and wear tinfoil hats so as to block them.

I like Chrome, it is my go-to browser as a user. As a developer, though, I hate how it spits on the face of standards, like not expiring cookies when the HTTP response says, and instead turning them into session cookies instead.

EDIT: Just saw this is from 2001, so may be a tad bit justified in the MS context. I still stand by the "goes against the community spirit" thing though.

Doesn't this sort of closed-mindedness fly in the face of the spirit of FOSS and community? Plus, today's MS is not the evil empire of yesterday. I'd rather be in bed with them than, say, Oracle. Long time Java hating .NET guy here- so I am probably biased though.

This is so Black Mirror.

I get your point, but I do have to point out that the title is misleading in that it mentions that "the internet crushed Clinton's book" but does not quite mention "how".

Good riddance?

The ridiculous idea aside, I'm still amazed by how you managed to double-post this and get away with it - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7918862

Link is dead.

This would be the exact opposite of "buy one get one free" as in "buy two to get one to work". Them geniuses at Coke.

The article says he "invented JavaScript." Anyone know if this is accurate?

Really? Of all things, this is what we need?

Cleaning?

I know this is beside the point, but I'm just curious. What did Horvath do at GitHub? Design UI or write code?

Annoying hipster alert.

Tyson is generally well received and seems genuine as well. I wonder what people think about Michio Kaku. I can't shake the feeling that Kaku is a bit phony.

I don't care if this comes off as trolling, but here it is: as I read through this, I thought to myself, much like the author, "how appaling!" - then I saw the word "PHP" - and went "oh, well, that figures".

Yep, that is the best description!

Oh yes, and we can all gather around and sing kumbaya and hug each other. Get real and give me a break!

Extremely linkbaity title, and apologising for it in the beginning doesn't give you an excuse to use it. Nice concept, but poor execution.

It has mostly been startups. But the figure of $135K I got from a large company (Symantec). I know they're a Java shop, but they do have .NET teams, and again - this figure is not "official" - it was suggested to me by my friend who works in Symantec when I asked him how much I should ask for.

I would have thought so too. But when I applied with a floor of $160K, a lot of the responses I got claimed they don't pay that high. Then I was quite floored when a friend of mine who works in the area told me to ask for $135K. Also, how much does technology matter as long it's mainstream? I'm looking for .NET openings, but my general impression is .NET is not that popular in the Bay Area as I see a lot more Java openings. Do Java folks stand to make more money in the same positions?
