We certainly do put a lot of care and efforts into producing a high quality software product that is not only open source with a liberal license (MIT) but which is also developed in the open (we're happy to invite anyone to our Slack team at https://appleseedhq.slack.com where all development discussions and decisions take place).
Cool, can you point me to some lawyer bootcamps, this whole time I thought that was a heavily regulated industry that required degrees and a bar exam to be qualified. Really stoked to let my wife know she didn't need to take those CPA exams to practice too.
My understanding is you can actually take the bar exam in several states without having attended law school. Regulations can always be changed, I don't see groups or the government pushing to liberalize training requirements and allow boot camps to train someone to take these tests.
It varies state by state but yes, in some states you can take the BAR exam without attending law school. In California, for example, you have to apprentice for a practicing lawyer for four years and have five years experience practicing (18 hrs per week) before you can take the test
I'm suprised by all this safari love in 2016. Working in front end web development, Safari has become the IE of today. Compatability and support for otherwise common web technologies is just plain broken.
If by "common web technologies" you mean mostly non-standard or experimental technologies then yes.
Lets not forget that it was Google that forked WebKit resulting in duplicated effort to implement various features. Google also loves to ship stuff that isn't actually standardized yet (which is fine) but today's web developers go whine about Safari not supporting it yet. No shit Sherlock, it's your own myopic view.
Only testing in Chrome is as bad as only testing in IE 6 in 2006.
Most of the "experimental" features we whine about are supported by all vendors, save for Apple (Firefox, Chrome, Opera and freaking IE). It's a definite pattern: Safari is last to implement features, if at all.
You may want to avoid that blanket statements around developers who've worked with indexeddb, safari's implementation is famously awful, so much so that caniuse makes special note of it.
Or even I have a CSS issue to look into in Safari soon where a combination of tables, max-width, width and overflow properties is behaving oddly on Safari only (even IE gets it right). This is CSS2 stuff..
Safari is slow to adopt new features, yes, but the features it has work properly and everything runs snappily.
Assuming we’re still talking about mobile Safari on iOS here, unfortunately that isn’t true in all areas. For example, the way iOS Safari handles HTML5 media elements is essentially to play them through a plug-in. We had to implement a whole new authentication mechanism for a site I work on that serves video content to logged in users, because it wasn’t actually Safari requesting the video resource so we weren’t seeing the user’s ID cookie. There are numerous other problems with how iOS Safari handles video content that make it difficult or impossible to implement other functionality or UI behaviour that would make our site better for our users.
I use JetBrains Webstorm, and on that hitting CMD+SHFT+F creates a search local to the selected folder in the directory tree. Seems pretty intuitive to me, but finding files themselves, as opposed to string constants and the like, is actually the more difficult thing Ive yet to figure out.
Ctrl-Shift-N gets you an "open file" dialogue that does slightly fancy filtering/searching (e.g. you can put a substring of the name and it'll find it).
For those in the Bay Area, there's a full sized version of Senet at the Egyptian museum in San Jose. Not sure where they got there rules from. Also saw Senet on Steam recently. Seems like the game is on a comeback.
So true. I've gotten in the habit of writing copious notes during meetings, and write everything down verbatim. When I first started doing this, I was astounded to find how disorganized most individuals train of thought appeared to be.
What's really interesting is our ability to comprehend the jumble that comes out of our mouth. On one hand, it's impressive what our brains can do to process this jumble, on the other, totally depressing how inadequate we are at stringing together oration.
I always feel it's my duty to chime in whenever the subject of original MMORPGS comes up-- anybody remember Meridian 59? Y'know the mmorpg that came out BEFORE Ultima online?
A great many people love UO because it's organic feeling community (and I'm one of em ), but nothing tops the experience of interacting with people in an online game for the first time. Checkout an article I wrote about it awhile back: http://mmocadet.com/being-a-rookie-for-the-100th-time/
I played that... what I loved about it was that we all looked alike. Cracked me up! I think maybe we could have different colored clothes, but the faces were identical. It might just have been that there were few face options.
I loved how negotiable everything was, how organic the relationships were. For example, in the case of dealing with PKers. You could go out and band together to just outright kill the PK--which was dangerous because if you accidentally hit someone else, you would then turn yellow(neutral) and then red (pk) if you hit them to many times. Alternatively, you could gather a posse, corner a PK and "arrest" them (an informal arrangement). You would negotiate the arrest, and escort that person back to the jail. The PKs friends would then organize a rescue attempt on the way, often resulting in a pitched battle on the jailhouse steps. Good times.
You express a level of care, consideration, and diplomacy that is sadly lacking just about everywhere.
The product itself looks amazing; I love seeing this high bar for open source.
