   For those of you who aren't aware, that Canabalt game that was posted on HN earlier was written with Flixel.

   Interesting, I'll have to check out the keyboard. I use wmii, but same idea. ;)

   Yeah. I'm actually completely in love with my AAO (and I even store my music on it, since I got a HD). There's nothing I need a full blown computer for, and if I really need the screen estate and keyboard, then I just use external ones. I'v

   It's a cleaner syntax for writing jQuery functions. As you can see, it's translated into jQuery code.

   I find this a fascinating area of research, however a prediction of my dad's always comes to mind. "A computer as intelligent as a human will take 18 years to 'program.'"

   Yes, but Google seems to spend more time acquiring startups, so I think his expertise isn't wasted there.

   Thanks for posting this. Along with the article posted here it clarified a lot of question I had.

    I'm continually surprised by the number of people who haven't figured out the recipe for a well-spent life only has two ingredients: passion and hard work.

    This article brought back haunting memories of Cuil. Pity, because I wouldn't mind more competition in the search market, particularly since Google has gotten less relevant for programming related queries.

    I find the "go back to reddit" or "go back to digg" posts particularly ironic. If you are going to criticize those sites, then perhaps you shouldn't contribute to the degradation of this site in the same post. That said, I was recently guil

    Honestly though, she'll probably take it better if you tell her yourself. Otherwise it'll look like you were hiding this from her, and that'll start to bring up uncomfortable questions. :P

    You had to create an account just to express that sentiment? I find that more pathetic.

    Actually, that seems like a pretty good argument that people should use italics or bolding for emphasis more often. They are used to modify the meaning of the phrase, as he demonstrated, just like our tone of voice. The exact mechanisms are

    I rather did read the article. If you can get traffic from Twitter, why would you cut off getting traffic from Google? "he doesn't make money from Google's indexing of his content" How does he make money from Twitter users posting his conte

    Right, because you couldn't have users both post news stories on Twitter and have the pages be indexed by Google. That's simply not possible.

    This has been said before, but bears repeating. I like reading articles on Google News more than on most "non-aggregator" news sites just because Google News makes the news readable. What a lot of content creators don't seem to understand i

    After a quick look through this seems like a good resource. The most important things are simply to 1) be part of the community, 2) listen to the community, 3) give the community responsibility.

    Thanks for the insight into the process. That sounds a lot more useful than an actual interview, because it seems like you are learning something from the meeting through the brainstorming.

    This might be true for learning mechanical and motion related tasks, which seems to be all they've tested here. For cognitive learning I doubt this is true, however. If I tried to teach someone arithmetic by giving them problems where the a

    Yes. I was just doing my college applications and thinking this exact thing. The Common Application would look like a piddly idea if the college application process just had an API.

    For a Rails newbie like me this was very, very helpful. I still haven't used the framework enough to know what a complex code base looks like, so this is a useful reference. I hope this will be republished as a text article sometime, becaus

    You are right that it isn't exactly the Dunbar number. In a forum with a normal participation curve (what percentages of users have what activity level) the breakdown is around 300. In forums where everyone participates actively it breaks d

    Forums break down after they the number of users passes the Dunbar Number. It's only when you have so many users that the community loses cohesion that this happens. In many of the communities I participate in, forums simply split every tim
