The lack of comment searching is pretty bad though. I'd say that when I want to search reddit it's for comments more than 50% of the time. For example, if you're looking for product information the answer is more likely to be

Arizona Iced Tea (used to?) have a prominent $0.99 price on the label and I occasionally saw it for sale at gas stations for substantially above that price, on a percentage basis, e.g. $1.69.

This definitely exists under the name "media monitoring." For example http://www.mediamonitors.com/ but there are a bunch of different providers.

Even though it was at one point a physical book, I think, it's really a regularly updated documentation for the library. Sometimes it's not fully updated because it's written by one guy (Michael Snoyman, who also leads Yesod)

This is interesting as an art piece, but I think it is easy to intuit from the presentation that the authors are not being very careful thinkers. The truth is that the question of austerity is a fairly complex one. The reason it seems so cu

This isn't a heuristic search, it's guaranteed to find an optimal path the same as A*. More generally, this isn't a talk for theoreticians, this is another tool in the toolbox for game AI engineers, and personally I find it v

I have used a Firefox extension called Dust-Me Selectors[1] which does this. It breaks your css into used and unused selectors, it can spider the site for you, or you can leave it running as you browse the site and it will work automaticall

I had never heard of voat.co until just now, but their site appears to be down, which is some evidence that they probably are receiving a ton of traffic from somewhere. Edit: For the record, I don't think voat.co will become more popul

That guy's response makes no sense to me. I worked in finance and banking for five years and didn't even once see M used to represent thousand. Perhaps times have changed and that used to be common. k (thousand) and M, m or MM (mi

The scheme R5RS standard is 50 pages, and is considered quite small for any real language. The Haskell 2010 Language Report is 239 pages. The Forth ANSI standard is 220 pages and is a seemingly simple language.

This is almost unrelated to the post, but the question on the MD5 checksum was the inspiration. It seems like we could have a DoS mitigation strategy with a protocol extension that required the packets to be checksummed with a key stretchin

I like General Biotics[1]. It has 115 strains which is an order of magnitude more than any other supplement. One of the founders is a researcher in the field published in all the big name journals. They don't make claims that can'

When it was leaked a few years ago, it was widely reported to be an actual document. All of the articles from the period said that Arnell Group wouldn't comment on its authenticity. I think it was definitely created by Arnell Group, bu

Yeah, I think in isolation stuff like that can be useful, but I feel like there should be a better abstraction. I'm not enough of a designer to know what that abstraction would be, and it seems like unexplored territory in CSS framewor

One thing I've noticed about Material Design is that most of the examples of "best designs" have elements that are overlapping to some extent, but none of the frameworks that I see make it easy to have overlapping elements wi

The S&P 500 total return index has gone from 1330 to 2081 in the same time frame. So if Microsoft had paid you $31 dollars a share and you had reinvested it in the market, it would be worth $48.5 or thereabouts. Even if it does catch up

Qik had Marc Benioff, Marc Andreesen and Ben Horowitz as early investors, before the latter two started their fund as I recall. They didn't have a big VC firm backing them, but they did have notable investors.

The author of this article did a follow-up post in which he compared individual players before, during and after playing for the Patriots, and found very suspicious trends. On average the players were only good at fumbles when they were pla
