Whoops. Thanks for pointing that out. Funny it came up just recently. I just happened upon it randomly today.

zsync uses the rsync algorithm, but runs it on the client side, thus avoiding the high server load associated with rsync...All that is needed is an HTTP/1.1-compliant web server. although it does require one thing on the server side it se

It's interesting (if not terribly surprising) how most of these Etsy businesses simply don't scale. The thought of making the same thing over and over again is really quite foreign. I sometimes forget how much leverage we have as coders.

First, New York has become much more interesting in the tech world. I spent just two days hopping from rock to rock, and didn't land on most of them, but wow, there's something going on there. That was an interesting bit. I'm a New York

I second the recommendation. A Pattern Language outlined a lot of the actual patterns (which was neat), but Notes on the Synthesis of Form did a better job of illuminating a broad conceptual foundation for designing systems. I think I

It's not that I don't love newspapers or sympathize with their current plight, it's just that Murdoch seems so fully disconnected from reality that he's becoming dangerous. With all of his power and money he is perhaps dangerous even to th

It's the new domain squatting (kinda). Content producers are laying claim to keywords/searches that are under served but provide questionable value to those that they seek to reach. Maybe eHow articles could serve as a flag to better conte

Thumbs up to the New Yorker and the Economist. For daily news I find that the New York Times does an excellent job. You'll never see something like 'All-male college cracks down on cross-dressing' there (I pulled that from CNN's "latest n

I'm guessing the most you can hope for is a bit of publicity and perhaps getting on the radar of a couple of NYC tech players. I don't think you lose any IP rights so you can always continue to develop your idea if there is some level of s

This is so familiar. Smart economists tell us that something which seems so unsustainable is in fact sustainable. Remember when we heard that home prices had never declined on a year over year basis and that the extreme price appreciation
