   1. does anyone know the ratio of pollution from all-the-consumer-planes-in-the-world to all-the-cars-in-the-world? (i feel like military planes and tanks should be excluded, or rather included in a separate ratio for comparison.) 2. how doe

   good reminder. i've used slicehost to help setup servers before, even though i happen to use linode (early recommendation from a friend who got me into web dev to begin with). i really like the slicehost community.

   haha. this is so true. i have no doubts the biggest problems we'll face with early product iterations are our own bugs rather than malicious third parties :-) we'll do the best we can to get both fronts up to snuff before the general public

   thanks for all the advice. i've chosen to make the entire site HTTPS and redirect HTTP to HTTPS. the reason being that performance doesn't seem to take a big hit, and while things like caching and moving to multiple servers will be harder,

   one question that if ind particularly perplexing: what is supposed to be secured over HTTPS v HHTP? should the entire site be HTTPS? including media? why do some folks talk about hybrids? is it for performance?

    YES. in particular, i'd pay someone to do some real IT work for me. i've set up our server to serve our website, but i'm just a programmer. i've tried to learn about how to prevent our server from getting hacked, but i'd MUCH rather pay an

    interesting. women rate men much more harshly on looks, yet a woman's attractiveness is much more important for whether they receive messages. sounds like attractiveness is rated poorly for women partly because it doesn't speak to women.

    sure. my first thought was: maybe the average guys on the site are worse looking than average. who knows? the statistics here are ridiculous.

    i wondered the same thing. i've heard of last.fm, but i have no idea what it is other than something about music (.fm domains still confuse me). whereas, who doesn't know about facebook or linkedin? i don't use those two, either, but i've l

    i think there are salient advantages to preferring to fail over documentation---which is about getting the implementation right before time-consuming bugs or poor code are introduced--and preferring to "fail fast"---which is about not inves

    ha, that's not bad, though it still has the problem of not accounting for: - non-computer time - conceptual activities (eg, tabbing between Eclipse, Terminal, Emacs and FF is all part of project A for these hours, and project B for thos

    ok, but once you start using closures everywhere someone has the bright idea to abstract most of that code into a utility function. before you know it, you're back to bind. function _bind(o, m) { var bound_arguments = Array.prototyp

    i totally agree, though i'd phrase it as: RescueTime is too granular, whereas i want something with low but abstract resolution. i manually track every hour of my day into categories such as startup, sleep, professional-fun, social, sports

    at first i thought this would be good. data munging is definitely a time of programming that occurs. but then the list just gets ridiculous, almost poking fun at the different jobs one might do. more importantly, real tasks are left off. i

    this feels ethically wrong, though i can't exactly state why. calling out who you're going to punish doesn't feel right, though the fact that it is a prioritization not a direct singling-out makes it a little bit better. what if the enforce

    would it have been awkward to write down the equation and then solve it? keeping a legible notebook and writing documentation are even better than doing things in your head and spewing magic numbers. i frequently have reason to do back of t
