I'll oblige your curiosity. Here's what comes to mind right now... The sin that takes the cake was Facebook's attempted smear campaign against Google: http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2011/05/12/facebook-bu... I can't currently reme

If things are as you say, then we may have jumped to conclusions and judged Facebook unfairly on this particular matter. However, I'd say jumping to conclusions is to be expected, given Facebook's track record. I long ago stopped giving F

In a sense, whatever we build is always built upon someone else's platform. The Internet itself is someone else's platform. The legal framework in our respective countries is someone else's platform. These two platforms are harder to con

Thank you for your feedback. Is the timeline-toolbar you envision kind of like the one on Hacker Slide?

by domador 15y ago
That would be neat, too. I can't say when or if I'd get around to it :( I imagine something similar must happen with Hacker News itself. We ask the owners for features, but not all of them are adopted (or implemented as soon as we wish).

hckr news is pretty cool. I ran across it a few weeks ago, and saw that it embodied very similar goals to what I had in mind. However, since I had already collected snapshots for a long time, I thought, "Might as well give others access t

I'm not immune to geeky name choices myself. I chose "Debonware" as a website name a few years back. (It was a lame play on words on "debonair" and "software".) I later abandoned it and switched to "Domador Software". That's still a bit

We geeks seem to have a fixation on clever names. I loved the name "Froogle", but Google made a wise move in changing it to "Google Product Search" (much friendlier to its target users). Speaking of which, Google's own name was a particula

It's funny, since Ninite ran a very elaborate process to find that very name: http://blog.ninite.com/post/620277259/how-ninite-was-named-b... To me it seems like nailing the perfect 2nd level .com domain isn't as important as before. How

Please, please, share the long answer! (or one of them, at least...) I would think that using bcrypt for authentication would not only consume more server CPU power, but would also open the door to denial-of-service attacks (if crackers att

lzm, You're absolutely right! The bcrypted hash effectively become a plaintext password. This is obviously a problem. However, it also creates an interesting opportunity... SecureR could be designed so that every so often it rehashes a u

Robin, Yes, if an attacker obtained the password database, they could use the password hashes to log in with any particular user's account. They wouldn't need to know that user's plaintext password. Like you, I'd also thought about storing

Improving lives? What a lofty goal! It's strange whenever I think of my company's product in such terms, since my product doesn't reduce global warming, improve international relations, or anything like that. However, it DOES accomplish the

I utterly detest software patents and the inaccurate view of innovation they embody. In theory, software patents should encourage innovation. In practice, it looks like they hinder it, and instead enable a legalized form of extortion and pa

I'm glad Paul Graham doesn't write new essays very often. Constantly checking his website for new ones is a bad enough addiction as it is. Reading and discussing a new one every day would keep me from getting much work done. So far, thou
