Mostly a pet peeve, I guess. The subject should describe what the message is about, the body is the message. After opening the message, I automatically look down to read or skim the body. When there's nothing there, it annoys me to no end

>If you can fit the entire question into the header, just do it and include #eom at the end, which means 'end of message'. Yes, it feels weird. Do it anyways. This I cannot agree with, however. I receive a fair amount of email, and I

I think this should apply for any kind of email, not just for busy people. Actually, this applies to most kinds of writing too. It'll come off much better if it's well-worded but simple and to-the-point. The more fluffy sentences you add to

Right. Fair enough. But, even then, the requests come from the client browser, rather than our server, which is much less likely to be a problem to CL.

You'd be surprised, but our entire service does not make a single request to the craigslist servers. We get the craigslist postings from the 3taps API, which themselves scrape Google Caches to import that data. The images are typically host

The concept was to rethink the way we browsed Craigslist and shopped online. The main section, the "homepage" is a tree map of recent craigslist posting sorted by popularity using a slightly modified version of Hacker News' ranking algorith

I have been working on a similar project for a while, but for lack of time it's going nowhere. I've been wanting this forever though. Great to see these guys took it seriously and shipped. Woohoo! Excuse me while I go sign up and watch shit

A lot of these high-paying jobs seem a lot less interesting to someone who has the hacker mindset. To me, they certainly do. Also, you're guaranteed a nicely paying job, but there's no opportunity for massive wealth like there is in the ris

No. It's public data. It would actually be illegal for the government not to release it.

These mathematics seem highly dubious to me. It's like they just found a bunch of different ways to describe the same thing, Infinity. Yes 0 is 0. I could also describe it as (5 * 4 * 3 * 0), but how does that help? When you think about it,

DynDNS is a bitch, but I usually just setup an SSH tunnel between my box and one of my cloud servers to show off my localhost over any kind of shitty connection. Even works at Starbucks, which I don't think DynDNS does. This app is really n

We're still at a very early stage and the traffic is definitely not what it's gonna be in the future yet. So far, Mongo has held up beautifully in real-life situations and benchmarking, and we can deploy new boxes infinitely to beef up our

Somewhat different situation, but after having quit one a Silicon Valley startup after its acquisition, I still have access to a lot of its network. I'm sure it's a common occurrence. Shutting people completely out of a network is really ha

I don't know about you, but I don't think $25/mo is worth cheapening my blog by plastering tasteless ads on it. I'd have to be pulling significant income from it before I would even consider putting ads on my blog.

We have 50 years of petroleum left and maybe 100-200 of coal. Compare that to centuries of Uranium, Plutonium and other radioactive minerals. Also, emissions are a big deal, too. Nuclear waste is contained and far less dangerous (when kept

Sun was a large commercial company that owns quite a portfolio of patents. It had the resources to fight back and tell Apple to go fuck itself. Your average open-source project, on the other hand, might not.

The post mentions disappointment in viewer conversion. I think it's fairly obvious that this kind of referral is awful for conversion. Viewers are loyal to Hacker News, not to the site referred. If the post showed a promise for more interes

Performance would be nightmarish. Git is super elegant and great, but not very performant. Imagine having to deltify a terabyte of data? Good luck with that!
