More evidence of Apple's amazing ability to distort reality. Even when they break almost every rule, folks still love them to death. Definitely an enviable position.

Or maybe the goodness of their website wasn't an important facet of their business a decade ago...

The .doc is actually a more widely readable format. Why care how hackable a document format is if all you want to do is view and edit it?

Not sure what business sense Rick Rubin has, but as a music producer, he's beyond comparison. Kinda wish I worked at MOG just for the possibility of access to him...

Don't forget to protect all of your AJAX calls, too, if they modify any backend state.

Yo. If you give me your email address, I can give you an invite. As for your questions, the short answer is that we're holding back on going public until we're sure our infrastructure is able to scale, the data-loss-causing bugs are wiped o

Good read, if only for the opening story about quicksort.

Funny, I assumed Larry = Ellison, not Page. Either way, can't believe Zuckerberg is being compared to those guys... Let's at least wait until Facebook IPO's or makes a billion dollars.

I prefer SWFUpload [ http://swfupload.org ]. Flash is great about reporting back how much has uploaded, and the Javascript API means you can still use jQuery (or your favorite framework) to do all of the status display.

Har har, but Vista actually changed a number of fundamental things about XP, including a totally new security model, an overhaul of the graphics system to move it out of the kernel, and a ton of new performance optimizations like SuperFetch

The price, of course, was $999.99, which isn't deceiving at all.

Didn't hear anything about anything until now. Also, surprised to see you here... Long time no see. Do you run into Luc at all?

A bit surprised seeing Luc Castera on that list (with ShareMeme). I have to assume it's the same guy as luccastera, though? edit: After some research, what I meant to say was, congrats luccastera for launching!

Ted, I don't know if you read news.yc anymore, but pressflip's front page could really use a tag cloud or something. One of the best usability tips I ever got was "recognition, not recall." People are much better at pointing to what they

What's your definition of "nothing bad happens"? And how do you recover if it does happen?

Not sure this is even possible with compiled code. Even so, you don't really change the buffer overrun attack vector at all by moving variables around.

by aston 18y ago
For homogenous variables (like two "int"s), I don't think you could make a strong argument for the compiler reordering them.

We just talked about this problem in the office yesterday. My officemate got asked this for the job he got at Google, and solved it the same way. His boss pointed out only after he accepted the offer that there's no need to make a function

Only thing this visualization is missing is the ability to highlight a given movie's trajectory by name.

Very cool. Interesting is seeing just how few movies sit on the top of the box office charts for more than their launch weekend.

I dunno how quickly they adapted here. Better would've been to release the alternative before being sued...
