ridiculous. context is king


Unfortunately, 9 times out of 10, people interview for constructs they would like. And when you get int he job - you never use.

It's a lottery....I usually work on the personality fit.

Unemployed now for 13 months and counting.... ;)

(not really)

I've gotten many a mediocre score in the practical tests, but gotten the job based on personality.


funemployed?


Seemed pointless. Did people really need this explained?


I think if you can't do the things you love then you're probably burnt out.

If all you want to do are the things you like then you're probably being lazy.

Not fool proof - but a starting indicator.


I think this is the best answer so far, if the things you used to love don't satisfy you the way they did, you're probably burnt out. If, on the other hand, your not meeting your own expectations stems from screwing up priorities (avoiding what you don't enjoy), you're likely just being lazy.


This describes how I feel about it exactly.

If I spend too long on a project that I just want to finish, I generally find myself looking at other more interesting projects and working a little on them.

Sometimes this is being lazy but sometimes you just need the change to get back on track with your mundane project.


I'm with Zach on this one...


What a heap of shit. A contentious statement that seems to be based on a bad day in the office....


WTF is this shit....was this a joke?


No, just PR material from a company with a horse in the race, targeted at people who are too poorly informed to see through it.


it's all about the marketing and who you know.....


Who is this Hitler to tell other people how to use Twitter? If you don't like it - don't follow it...YOU are taking the decision to follow what I write....eat it or don't..


WTF is that?


Presumably on the google website the script is loaded via an xmlhttp request which then strips the initial text and evals the rest. By added the initial throw 1; they prevent other sites from including the script, since it won't do anything.



Cool site. I've never seen that before. Learn about web security by breaking it.


What about hackthissite.org?


That's extremely smart. XMLHttpRequest protects you via the same origin policy. But there are other ways (such as JSONP) to load JavaScript and bypass the same origin policy. It's not like you cannot opt out of things like JSONP, but this trick adds another layer of protection and is particularly useful in fighting XSSI.


If another site would really want to include the script, it could also strip the initial text. Is the purpose only to avoid people from including the script by mistake?


You can't make a XHR request to another domain. You only can include it via a <script> tag and that is going to fail.


Didn't know that. Thanks!


thanks!



It a XHR response that google search yields on the main page. Just use firebug/google chrome's resource tab to see it.
