   I was going to leave a comment that this guy obviously doesn't read the blog. Then I noticed that the Trends blog (blog.okcupid.com) hasn't been updated in well over a year. What happened? It was an incredibly fascinating read.

   First it was Carsabi and now Padmapper. While I'm not surprised, as the Craigslist ToS explicitly prohibits crawling their site, it is incredibly frustrating that the website with all the data is unwilling to innovate and unwilling to help

   It is a huge market, there is plenty of room for even mediocre competition.

   Any chance for iPhone support? I am kind of tired of my weird znc + colloquy setup.

   Django+tastypie works with backbone.js with very little configuration.

   I would do the exact same thing. As the author points out, unsuccessful projects can't have any action taken on them. All they serve to do is get people less enthused about the website. As DanBC points out, it is definitely possible to find

    I could be wrong, but I believe a Schulze method would solve that. The compromises could remain independent pieces which pass or don't pass depending on a preference matrix.

    I find it more interesting that this publication of names is part of HIPPA. I really wish each piece of legislation was restricted to small units of scope.

    Let's also keep in mind that if true, this is personalization done poorly (for the consumer). Presumably, was no correction in Yahoo's model to consider whether the user liked the content after reading it. The first question here is whethe

    The real insult here is that other people seem to think they can speak for these particular homeless. I see no reference in the article to the people working this job that they were insulted by it, felt demeaned, or interviews from other ho

    Is the idea to get a kind of github style project management that you can host on your own server?

    Last time I checked, Gecko and all the other browsers still had a long way to go before being fully HTML5 compliant. Chunks of the File API, postMessage, and a variety of other specs are incomplete and underdocumented. Sites like caniuse.co

    Even if someone has already executed the idea well, the question is whether or not the market is big enough for you to share it. You can always find a niche or a value add that separates you from established competitors.

    Welcome to KDE plasma. I actually kind of like it, but really it just needs some good theming.

    This already exists. You could use ustream or a few different services for instant streaming + archiving. However, this is going to depend on a reliable data connection.

    I think those job postings are seriously skewed. "Python" is by itself not a web framework, whereas "Ruby" is often short for when people are referring to Ruby on Rails. Do a search for Django and I bet the numbers start looking very differ

    I think maybe you read the first part of my statement and not the second. Please read my original statement. Of course I think this still happens. I'm not shocked, just frustrated. I'm wondering what we can do as individuals to change this.

    What I find interesting is that "tech jargon" is listed as the number one reason these women feared getting involved in the technical side of there businesses. It is not as though men are born knowing this jargon; they spend both work and f

    What do you mean? Obviously that are paying for various Microsoft licenses. Although it works differently, it's just like any other virtualized service.
