I would miss a world without Word. Word is how I know whether to apply for a job or not.

If you only accept resumes in Word format, you're not the dinosaur I want to work for.

This is an interesting question. I wish this question was put forth to the Supreme Court.

That's a really great idea! It would be a solid step in the right direction.

I'm tempted to notify all my friends, delete my account, recreate it under a pseudonym, and re-add my friends, while being much more careful this time around with what I share and my privacy settings.

Seems like they hitched their wagon to the wrong horse going with WP7 over Android.

If you're not looking for a game industry job (Gamasutra), where do you suggest someone should look for a low-level job?

Another issue that wasn't covered is duplication of effort.

Imagine working on a feature for weeks, only to realize that other people with more experience and knowledge of the project are doing the same work.

What's the incentive from the maintainer's point of view to reduce duplication of effort? The maintainer's not paying either developers, and they have a backup if one of them doesn't come thru.

But from a developer's perspective, it's frustrating to put efforts into a patch that doesn't end up being used.

You're correct, but the parent brings up a valid (if a bit off topic) point.

Eye candy is great, but Javascript has often been a vector for privacy issues. Hence the popularity of Noscript and most browsers having an option to disable Javascript.

The problem is that people are attracted to (real) infographics. Using a more accurate word means fewer visitors. So, sadly, I doubt it'll ever happen.

I have the impression that new grads aren't attracted to low-level programming because of the greater proportion of higher level programming jobs.

I think low level jobs need more visibility. Perhaps a monthly "Who's Hiring" thread for low-level jobs would help.

(Not to get too meta, but..) I really like the domain name. It looked like "0x10 code" when I first saw it.
