I've noticed that too, now that my posts are mirrored to Medium. It's a lot of work to read comments.

You just need access to subscriber data and a friends network. You could get enough data from volunteers, i.e. no recommendations until you give us the name of your five favorite podcasts. I tried an informal experiment with this among my f

Seems like the same question to me. An API is an API. Google is part of the W3C, probably a very important part of it. I used to be a W3C member, and remember how this worked. The big companies drove the process. They met privately and hash

You have to factor in whether or not you want developers to use your APIs in the future. If you do, and they have to guess whether or not other developers will build on it, they might decide not to go for it. So maybe you don't really

It wasn't written for the janitor at Twitter, rather it was for people outside Twitter who want to think about what might be coming next. Yes, it is obvious. The idea was taken straight out of Facebook. I thought people would benefit f

Glad you like mlbriver.com. I can't believe how it's expanded my knowledge of baseball in just a few days. It's been a long time since I got caught up. Too busy with other things I guess.

Facebook should beat them to it. Announce their Instant Articles technology, based on an already-open format -- RSS. And at the same time open it up to blogging tools so it isn't just for the elite. Let's really do this open. Why

Without a doubt RSS is worth the time. Think of RSS as an advertisement for the stuff on your news site or blog. If you don't publish RSS, how will people find your stuff? By visiting the home page of your site and looking for stuff th

Your money, properly invested, should grow, even if you invest conservatively. So you don't need to draw down your principal to pay your living costs. Let's say you spend $100K per year, and you can earn 10 percent per year, then

I have words and phrases I say at all stages of programming. I've never made a list of them, but I should. They repeat, a lot.

Thank you for this story. I'm going for a bike ride right now.

Yes, everything. I put so much value in achieving all the goals my family set for me. I figured everyone would love me when I was a success. So I checked off everything on the list, and I mean everything. Nothing changed. Of course. I know

Don't do it. Start now, because what you'll find out if you're successful and rich is that what's standing in the way of a happy life have nothing to do with success or money. People use the chase for success in various

And when it comes to security, paranoid is the right approach. As for how it "reads" to you -- that has more to do with you than me. ;-)

I am the OP -- never happened here. I don't use Safari for email, btw.

I am the OP. In some cases the messages they've deleted have been important real emails. Not spam. Also you're being a little dramatic in characterizing my comments. You might want to temper that, esp when you're accusing som

Basically when I don't have an example in my own codebase that I can use as prior art. I always want to find out what obstacles other people have found, as a way of making the process go more smoothly. Nine times out of ten I end up at

new Date () returns creates a JavaScript date object. When coerced to a number, it's the number of milliseconds since January 1, 1970. If you wanted to know the number of seconds since January 1, 1970, you could divide by 1000. Since J
