I didn't realize this technique had a name. I usually start with a name or a piece of dialogue, and grow the story like a crystal, eg: "Things come and go, but Ampere's Law will always be current."

We use a similar method at Facebook. http://www.facebook.com/note.php?note_id=10150212498738920 If I had to guess, I'd say that since route 53 is a dns host for many domains, they might be able to work out the user ip / resolvers map pass

I'm definitely conflicted. OTOH, people commissioning art "in the style" of more expensive artists is as old as art itself. Pixel for pixel replicas is only a difference in degree.

... So instead of paying the original artist for a print, or asking them if they might consider a cheaper run (artists are just guessing too!) you paid someone else to counterfeit you an "original"? You are proud of this?

There are fleets of cable ships all over the world who are paid a retainer to repair breaks. When losses are calculated in tens of thousands of dollars a second (edit thousands per minute) it's worth it. On the off time they pull up and scr

I don't even bother to look at my iTunes sales anymore. I just assume it's 1/10 of my Amazon sales. But what is Amazon doing that is predatory? Genuinely curious. Simply having a monopoly isn't a crime; abusing the advantage is.

For a good nerdy time, check out the first implementations of glob and regexp. 20 years on they still work in modern Pythons. Soon after Guido decided to make globs a special case of regexp, and his elegant recursive code was no more. http

I don't know. I don't think it exists yet. But have you ever seen an expert using etags/search/debugger/etc to bounce around a large codebase? The location of the functions in the file hierarchy doesn't matter at all. The important graph --

I've thought a lot about creativity by watching the people around me in art and science. I suspect that an important, perhaps defining characteristic of highly creative people is their ability to change their mind at will. (Similar to how a

I was amazed at how quickly Facebook's og meta tags were adopted by many sites back in the day; I used to run an archiving/scraping service and it helped me a lot. I can't help but think Pinterest should also offer a meta tag for sites that

You might be surprised. I ran some benchmarks[0] and found a significant parse time, and significant differences between browsers. tldr: a) parsing has a measurable cost, b) the parser is different from the interpreter, and the speed of one

"The others don’t cost much to support." BWAHAHHAHHAHHA. Ha. heh. whee! It's a good product but good luck on that part, Joel. Support costs for massive free products are probably more expensive than you imagine.
