This past weekend my uncle Keith came up from Virginia. He's a Chiropractor, and while he was here he adjusted me. Afterwards, I realized that what he was doing was very similar to software testing!

I have a habit of falling in love with a company as soon as I leave the interview. Unfortunately, I've had a good deal of no's while looking for a new job. It's important to take the bad new gracefully, reflect on it, and prepare for getting that yes next time. Indeed, I heard a "no" today regarding an interview I went on this past Friday. Yes, I am bitter because I really wanted the job, but sometimes it's just not the right fit for whatever reason.
As you may know by now, I've recently been very heavily using JavaScript and Angular to build web applications. Before that I had used loads of other object-oriented languages like C#, C++, Java, ActionScript, Objective-C, Swift... However, I had never learned a "Lisp" language and haven't really done too much with functional programming other than knowing that it's a pretty big buzz word these days. Anyway, I was creeping around on Twitter one day and came across the profile of Tim Baldrige (@timbaldridge), and in his profile description he wrote, "programmer who prefers closure". I thought that was interesting and asked him why he preferred Clojure, and that started the whole spiral to my increasing interest in Closure.
There are tons of different charting types to choose from, so how do you decide what's the best way to visualize your data? Well, I just found this excellent info-graphic while creeping around on Linkedin. Enjoy! :)
I'm a huge fan of keyboard shortcuts, and I use them especially often in Google Chrome. If you didn't know, control + tab (on mac) switches to the next tab, shift + command + tab goes to the previous tab, and cmd + w closes the current tab. In you accidentally close a tab you can always hit cmd + shift + t to bring it back. Cmd + q, however, is an evil command that the chrome developers put in to mess with unsuspecting victims (no, not really). It closes every tab of every chrome window that you have open. There is also no undo function. While some of us might need that at times with the amount of windows we have open, it can be just about devastating to accidentally hit cmd + q and watch all of your tab close in horror (overestimating just a little bit). This post is about preventing this situation for happening.
