8/16    I just left my employer. They didn't ask to get their HW back.
        Is is common for employers to contact me a few months/years later
        and ask for their HW back?
        \_ Is it an iPhone 9 prototype? :-)
           \_ as a matter of fact, it is just a 2 year old laptop
              and they don't seem to keep track of inventor

4/30    So I've done lots of C, C++, Java, Perl, and Python and may need
        to learn Ruby on Rails soon to build a prototype without any
        consideration for scalability. Which language is RoR most similar
        to and why is it such a big hype these days?
        \_ Is Ruby on Rails even a programming language? -clueless sysadmin
           \_ there's ruby on rails.  java on rails.  python on rails.

4/2     Is there an interpreted version of C or C++ that can be used for
        educational purposes? It doesn't have to be full-featured or
        strictly adhere to the standards, but it's painful for students
        to change a variable in a for loop and then wait for a compile
        to see how it changes the result. Something really lightweight
        would encourage them to play around a lot more and learn more in

        - Next Gen Console
        -- If we have $1800 in our accounts, should we buy a console:
           4 votes passes.
        -- Console voting: 2 votes each, neither passes

4/13    Why I wouldn't use prototype.js -- it makes your javascript
        program 3-4X slower due to Array hogs and other bloated stuff.

3/8     Say you have a javascript object, how do you list all the elements
        in the object?
        \_ If memory serves: for (var prop in object) { ... object[prop] ... }
           - ciyer
           \_ I think that's basically correct, but you should verify in a
              book.  One gotcha to be aware of with this: you can use this to

3/27    Howdy, I just released the first beta of iGMonkey, a powerful
        javascript framework designed to make it easy to query, retrieve,
        manipulate, transform, and compare HTML and XML documents.  Right now
        iGMonkey targets the Google Homepage API
        platform (http://www.google.com/apis/homepage but I plan to extend
        it to support others, such as Firefox's Greasemonkey
