Shouldn't SVG be compressed in the same way as other text contents like HTML and JS? Woff opts out of this behavior, but it's standard with all web servers.

Lock8 | Berlin, Germany | ONSITE | FULLTIME

Lock8 (http://lock8.me) is a young Berlin-based startup that brings GPS tracking and Bluetooth connectivity to bicycle locks around the globe. After a successful Kickstarter campaign, Lock8 was declared winner of TechCrunch Disrupt Europe 2013, raised a series A and is now searching to expand the IT team.

* We are currently seeking a Python developer to join our back-end team. Our technology stack on the server involves Python 3, Django, Ngingx, ZeroMQ and SaltStack.

* We are also searching for a JavaScript developer to join our front-end team. The selected candidate will be working with cutting-edge technologies like React, EcmaScript 6, Sass, RWD and gulp.

It's not required that you know all these tools already, but if you lack experience we will ask for a Github or StackOverflow profile to get to know you better.

We are a tightly-knit cross-functional team, so communication skills are vital. We are looking for strong problem-solvers, developers that like what they do and would be a good fit for our company culture. If you think you are a fit, we should definitely talk.

Please contact us at jobs@lock8.me

If this is your case you may want to consider Mozilla Persona, which will default to OAuth for some providers such as GMail.

We do have bizarre situations like people logging in using Twitter or Yahoo accounts bound to GMail, but they are rarely an issue. It's more frequent the case where a user is trying to open their account page using the wrong GMail account.

Anyway, our plan is to detect multiple accounts with the same e-mail address and offer the user to merge them, but we are not sure about how to do this since e-mail addresses are not immutable.

It strikes me as funny the difference in tone between the Shimomura and Mitnick entries in this website. Biased++

I can confirm that Pattern Recognition is (in my memory) even better than Ready Player One, which is also an amazing book. Thanks for the others, didn't know about them.

Sorry about that. We are strongly opinionated, since we have been developing with IE support since version 5.5 (that we don't miss much, truth be told).

The course has an entire module dedicated to make things work in IE: http://html5.instructormatters.com/0.3/browsers-and-seo.html...

You are right that IE10 is a standards-compliant, really good browser (not so much IE9). We were rushing to get the contents out and probably should re-check our browser assumptions.

Thanks for the heads-up.

Also, there is an extra DNS round trip by using an external web service. And I hate seeing JavaScript crawl into my <head> tag - certainly not for a web font.

You can use a title attribute that displays the shortcut. Desktop applications (such as GIMP) do that all the time

These days I still find many general knowledge questions (i.e. non-technical) being redirected from Google to an entry in Y! Answers. These are not strongly affected by time, so I suppose it's still playing a role (even if only as an archive)
