This is great, thanks Matt. After using this for less that 12 hours and I think it's fantastic. I also think it could be vastly improved upon. What if you added reddit style "up" and "down" votes to my results? Maybe it sounds silly at fir

thank you so much. I was interested in the article, but couldn't continue reading past the labels. I'm surprised that forbes.com (ostensibly a reputable magazine) has gone with a "2leep" style layout. Adsense "clickbombs" everywhere and c

I've read all of Vinge's work and it really is phenomenal. It's been years since I read it and can only remember vague concepts now... the singularities, the 'focus' drug that makes his programmers super-human. I really must read them agai

I got a LOT out of 4HWW, I haven't quit my job and gone freelancing yet - but now that you mention it, it sounds like a good idea. 4HB I can say that I don't feel like I've gotten anything of value from it. I felt really disappointed and

I would almost be ready to hazard a guess that it's exactly as big as Netflix' library. Many recent articles from Netflix has talked about how they have dealt with moving everything to AWS. Wouldn't it make sense if some company like Ama

As much as I'm NOT here to stick up for Nic and his site, he is telling the truth that this is a 3rd party service. http://www.intellichat.com/demo is one of a number of services like that. You put a tiny fake-ai-chatbot on the page to

I met my Girlfriend (of a year this Thursday) on OKCupid. I've always been impressed by the extremely high quality of the matching on OKC. They're by far the best online dating I've seen.

Looks good at first glance. It's late at night so I've also not tried it yet. There's something "missing" on the landing page but I can't quite tell what it is. Just a feeling I have. I've been messing around with Corona since we all read

ebay? Theirs is the worst I've ever experienced. Think I eventually had to close my ebay account entirely to get rid of all mail (which was after 4 support tickets).

Despite your downvote, I agree with this. Two things came to my mind when I landed on the page with links to 256 articles. 1) this isn't a "summary" of articles this is a "list of" articles. There's no time savings to be had by going throu

The short answer: Syntax Error. -- I spend a lot of time working with different languages and frameworks. Though my day job is PHP, I've got an itch to make a mobile game. Since they're not actually written in PHP, I've got to switch to a

Ben, this is really interesting. I was under the impression that Playtomic was a one man operation, but the idea that you're managing 300 million requests a day boggles my mind. (at my office we've got a team to handle that). I'll have to

Honestly, I really quite like 4HWW - it changed my point of view on a lot of things. I felt really ripped off by 4HB and still think there is a dangerous 'signal to noise' ratio in there. With just over a week to have calmed down though -

I once wrote a letter to the publisher of a scientific journal asking him why his information wasn't free. I was in Uni. at the time a bit idealistic and I spent a long time explaining how if it was free he'd get money from people 'in than

Perhaps it's because the definition of "rich" that they would need to feel is one where they'd never have to work again if they didn't want to. The article points out an annual income of $172,000 as being rich, but by implication, these peo

Unrelated to your blog post, but that sounds like a fantastically interesting technology you've got there. It harkens to the sort of testing that Hollywood movies and television studios go through to see what the audience responds to. Digit

I've read 4 Hour Body and think it was terrible. Self indlugent, misleading (at best) and dangerous (at worst). There were numerous 1 star reviews on Amazon.com that summed up my thoughts pretty well, so I'll not drone on here about it...

Perhaps rewriting the database to use MongoDB? Their http://www.mongodb.org/ tutorial took about 10 minutes and is really easy to get to know. As a DB they say it's designed for SPEED and SCALE. It might be worth looking at. (who's got

I don't know, I think it reads like bad advertising copy. Cliche'd metaphor made on a tenuous link but without any of the added wit and je-ne-sais-quois that makes (good) copy fun to read. I strongly disliked a number of things about it.

I don't know why this is voted down. I'll go on record as someone who's currently working primarily in PHP and though the phrase "when all you've got is a hammer, everything looks like a nail" is certainly true ... PHP has a lot of advanta

In my spare time I've been working on an apache weblog rollup for piwik. I wonder if this one has something like that... or even if it'd be a little easier in OWA? Piwik has made a number of choices that prevents the rollup of logfiles (

The duplicate detection is based on the URL. Also not quite sure why I've been downvoted - but - as I said above, in my opinion, the whole thread has a nasty tone to it. So I probably shouldn't be shocked. (Was it in retaliation for somethi
