Who else will be participating in this massive virtual hackathon coming weekend?

I plan to work on the Hyper keyboards, if that matters.

I'm sorry, but creating your own keyboard is not within the available themes!

was is jetz daran lame? weil da Facebook steht?

[7bit]

Weil da eine noscript-section ist und das nur ein facebook-link auf eine 1x1 GIF-Grafik enthält.


In 2014 we don't do JavaScript-only/best viewed with IE 5.0 websites anymore!

[Halvar]

Unfortunately, my impression is that JS-only is coming back lately...

Including a facebook beacon is much more despicable. That means they're either lame or evil ...

It has a bunch of different trackers. Looking at the jury, why would anyone capable want to be the pet of incapable hackers but capable of monetizing pets. Hackers should organize their own hackathons, feck the suits.

Naja, dieses Pixel-GIF richtet ja nichts schlimmes an. Aber du hast recht, ich habe von Javascript schon nix gehalten, als es damals noch im Trend war.

The point is they can't do their own website. How are they able to host a hacking event?


Then, facebook!


Seriously!

These gif files have only one purpose: to notify Facebook of the fact that you visited this site so facebook can trace your interests. How is that Facebook's business? Why do the Koding web designers include that notification without asking you?

Javascript is not a fad, and certainly not a thing of the past. Basically every web site uses it, and there's nothing wrong with that. Nevertheless, web sites should still be browsable if the client doesn't support it.

I was thinking about organizing the World's First Virtual Suitathon. To celebrate CEO's, investors, hrm and consultants. The tagline would be: Suits of the world, let's manage together.

This event is intended to connect suits across the globe and get them to manage together irrespective of their locations. They will problem solve and build with old or new team members and try to win!

We would explore themes such as "Problems facing our planet", "Introducing business management to a beginner (games!)", "Investment bank games that are educational and learning oriented" and "How to collaborate with the NSA while appearing to be anti-snooping to your paying customers".

The jury would consist of only developers.

We'd track the hell out of them too.
