No reason to be hostile. We investigated months back when we got reports from our users, who are professional videographers, that videos were showing up much worse in some browser situations than others. They sent us screen shots, and upon

Last I checked Chrome's h264 had less accurate color presentation than most off the shelf flash decoders. I can't seem to recall how Firefox's webm decoding stood up when the file was comparatively accurate to the h264 the fl

It should be noted that the native browser decoders for h264 still produce worse color presentation than flash players. Also, the flash runtime's pseudo-streaming is faster than Chrome's http pseudo-streaming (it takes longer for

Inbox is pretty darn minimalistic, and it's batching 'done' action makes inbox 0 pretty easy.

Inbox has essentially these features. What are the advantages here?

This looks fantastic, I can't wait to try this.

Wouldn't commercializing these tools reduce his own potential earnings?

This is such a non-issue. All you have to do is look at how successful RESTful APIs have been this decade. It's easy to consume, which is really the number one priority if you actually want anyone to use your API. Anyone who has built

They don't get the job offer if their answers to questions lack depth and personality. In other words, optimizing for not being disqualified is not the same for optimizing for first choice for a position.

What you're saying is true, a boring answer probably won't disqualify an applicant outright. However, the three or four people that gave answers like "looking for a new challenge" this week certainly didn't make a g

I'm going to give you conflicting data. When applicants tell me they are looking for a new challenge, or some other non-answer, I wonder if they are just going to flake out and leave our company after 6months or a year. When I ask why

I would tell them what you just told us. If you're afraid of what the hiring manager might think, then maybe the company you're interviewing at is just as bad. It is an applicant's market right now and if you are decent at wh

The real challenge is how to compete with a storage platform when online storage is turning into a sort of commodity. Companies like Google and Amazon are racing to the bottom on cloud storage pricing, so competing in this space completely

One of my main takeaways from this article is that there is no such thing as easy analytics. In particular, you have to put though and energy into designing your analytics data stores and your ETL process. It's a bit of a relief to see

Amazing that you can raise that kind of seed money without a working prototype. They must have been claiming some serious IP assets. Also, $25 million seems like a lot for convertible notes. Each one probably didn't exceed a few hundre

I lived in Saipan for a few months, part of the CNMI. A couple decades ago they attempted assigning road names and addresses, but what you find is that almost no one uses them. They don't have a postal delivery infrastructure, so those

We took a look at ujson about a year ago and found that it failed loading even json structures that went 3 layers deep. I also recall issues handling unicode data. It was a big disappointment after seeing these kinds of performance improvem

Please consider a way to "prefund" amounts in escrow. Or at least existing Balanced escrow accounts. You'll see it all over the comments here. Using a CC to load money into Stripe is much too expensive, when you are paying ou

The testing "birds of a feather" is not to be missed. In general, don't be afraid to step out of your shell and introduce yourself to other pythonistas. One of the friendliest conferences there is. Your talk sounds fantastic.
