'तीस मौसम… वेबसाइटों की यात्रा नहीं करने के लिए

यहाँ एक वेब डेवलपर के जीवन से एक दिलचस्प tidbit है.

आपको लगता था कि लोग इंटरनेट पर कि चमकदार नया फोन / गोली / टोस्टर वे छुट्टियों के मौसम के लिए मिला के साथ जाना होगा.

जाहिरा, कोई नहीं करता है कि. यहाँ मेरा नवीनतम हिट पर एक नज़र है (बैंड प्रकार नहीं, आगंतुकों की संख्या में मतलब hathix.com):

उत्सव की भावना के रूप में ऊपर चला जाता है, वेबसाइटों का दौरा करने के नीचे जाना.

मैं क्या देखा है, यह बहुत ज्यादा हर वेबसाइट और अनुप्रयोग के साथ मामला लगता है: यात्राओं या डाउनलोड छुट्टियों के मौसम के दौरान तेजी से कमी. क्या इसके लायक है, things return right back to normal once the new year begins.

Why it’s awesome being a developer

जाहिरा, these are a bunch of computer programmers.

Ninjas.

That’s what computer programmers are calling themselves nowadays. The profession (if you can even call it that) goes by a litany of none-too-glamorous names, such as developer, programmer, engineer, technician, and more stuff that doesn’t quite make you the most popular guy in the room. Hence, a lot of, एर, programmers (for lack of a better word) go by ninja or such. Which I find slightly annoying – you’re writing code, not killing enemies of the emperor. But I digress.

A slightly radical proposal for schools

I’ve often been asked the question “If you could be king of the world for a day, what would you do?” First of all, I’d make myself king permanently, but that’s not the point. Here’s my slightly radical proposal that would be the second thing I’d do if I were king for a day.

I’m part of a club that takes out the recycling in our school in the morning. Let me tell you, we collect a lot of paper: if I collect the paper of maybe 15 rooms that haven’t had their paper collected in a few days, I can fill up a whole trash can. Not the small trash cans you have in your house, I mean ones as big as janitors use. That’s a lot.

Yet another rant about Bcc:एस

I just got an email addressed to no less than 78 लोग, and all 78 people’s email addresses were in the To field. You’d think the sender would put all our emails in the Bcc field since, अच्छी तरह से, the recipients don’t really need to know the emails of the other 77 people who got the email. (In its defense, putting all the emails in the To field makes stalking easier, but isn’t that what Facebook’s for?)

I can understand why Cc isn’t that popular: it does the same thing as To, except it carries a different semantic meaning. Most teenagers (and a bunch of adults too) couldn’t care less about the fancy schmancy semantic meaning, so they just use To.
