If people are looking for something similar without RFID tags, there are sites like
http://chronograph.io. It synchronizes stopwatches and timers between anyone viewing the same session.

That's the direction consumer desktop apps should move. Cheaper to develop, maintain, update, etc.

on: Login Forms Over HTTPS, Please
Still happens. I pay rent through RentPayment.com, but their homepage (which contains a login form) is served over HTTP.

on: How I got a CS degree with pen and paper and why I'm doing it again
Thanks for the downvote - I was referring to actual coding. And with regard to note taking, I never had the problem of transcribing instead of summarizing because I was typing.

Along with all the other reasons why this is terrible, I would despise this because I just can't write as fast as I type. Having to use paper/pencil for the SAT was troublesome enough.

on: So You Think You Can Program an Elevator
Over a phone interview with Segment.io, I was asked to program an elevator controller. It was described to perform like an HTTP server would handle requests... They were getting confused when I started writing code for a state machine. Glad I got a job offer somewhere else.

on: The “Chad” bug
When I was setting up an account on Comcast's website, I was consistently getting an nondescript internal server error when submitting the form.
Took me quite awhile and many failed attempts to find that Comcast will throw an error when your requested username contains "comcast".
