Accessing maps and directions through a web search, though? That hasn't made sense for years on mobile. Sad to say, they need an independent DDG Maps app to make this viable on mobile.

I have some experience in that area. If I'm reading this correctly, they don't know race, only ZIP code. They are extrapolating race from zip code. They also seem to be deriving results for extrapolated black/hispanic populat

This rings so true to me. I got engaged during the last 6 months of my PhD student tenure, and lo and behold, I defended my thesis in the same month we got married. In the same vein as above, the added perspective and fire under me resulted

That's an awesome idea, great work! I'm curious, any legal/copyright issues with making replacement products for existing IP?

That is the distinction that makes a 401k not a pension, in the traditional sense. The term "pension" implies something that is paid our after a worker leaves the company, rather than during their tenure. The problem here is pensi

Looks good! I've had DroidParts on my Stack O' Potential Coolness (TM) for a while, and it keeps sliding down - I think I'll bump it back to the top of the stack. Even on the first intro page, I saw a bunch of crud I've written a dozen time

That only half solves the problem. A lot of shops that want self-hosted literally want to host it themselves, to keep data in their datacenters. if you built something deployable to EC2, you could make sure it works on a local Eucalyptus/Op

I'd love to see your framework optimization index. Honestly, all of this would be a wonderful thing to automate and put in a web app - a readily-accessible, up-to-date measure of the current performance of the state of the art in languages

Geddy ( http://geddyjs.org/ ) also looks promising. MVC, generators, etc - RoR-ish. Haven't done more than play around with it, but it seems fairly comfortable. That said, also young and light on docs right now (though they have a decent in

Ya, I thought that was interesting too. You can basically tell which benchmarks are used as internal metrics by each dev team (which makes sense, since Google and Mozilla created their own benchmarks), but I wonder how much they look at per

This is a very good point, just beyond the level I have gone to with these tutorials thus far. When I first considered an example app, to do it "right" was a fairly large project that wasn't easily digestible in tutorial form. This is a lim
