This was an interesting read. It is pretty crazy, and easy to parallel to something like Youtube, how the Manwin empire is built on linking to work that someone else produced and using the ad money to buy the creators of that work out. I wo

Didn't MacBooks come with those connectors before? It's like when iPods and iPhones used to come with the desktop stands https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7357/11147888116_9be011e0b1_n...

> moving a file breaks its relationship with a note How does OS X handle moving files while they're open/in use? One of the first things I stumbled upon when I started using the OS is that it was possible, while Windows would t

My approach, in any language, would be to collect it in an array and sum (or concatenate) it at once. var values = []; values.push(phraseValue( result, queryData )); ... var value = values.reduce(function(prev, next) { ret

Im using Tornado now for a personal project and I find that the async decorators makes things a breeze. Go seems really attractive when it comes to concurrency/async things. I'll probably move there if I ever do make a move.

I'm heavy in the Gremlin camp as it can be used across graph db technologies. Any thoughts on how it compares to Cypher? I haven't played with Cyper since I do most of my querying via Rexster.

Interesting twist in this article. I've seen a lot of praise for his writing style (inverted pyramid) on HN, but that Google portion came out of nowhere. He is understandably upset that Apple is slowing down progress, but doesn't

I was messing around with this the other day and I had a video playing on my computer. It showed up on the iPad pixelated like when tv censors nudity, pointer tracking seemed pretty fluid even with that playing. What would be nice is a dire

Computing is genuinely becoming scary. If I didn't browse tech sites or spend my days on HackerNews, I probably wouldn't know about these things. I'm getting older and more disinterested in the constant maintenance -- I just

The source code is beautiful. Code can be art when you know what you're looking at/looking for, kinda like real art. (I don't like his if/else blocks though)

Call me strange, but I prefer the old maximize. It only took up what space was needed for the window to not scroll horizontally, but did a full vertical. This had a few advantages for me: 1. I can see, and interact with, all of the other wi

Nice, very nice. I remember years ago I thought that I could do gaussian blur by copying the transparent layer in photoshop and repeating the tile in html/css. I think html/css/js would benefit if it just recreated everything

"Android is Android" I don't like the fact that Google's apps, all of them, feel foreign on iOS and OSX. Chrome has its own PDF renderer, settings pane, maximize behavior (before Yosemite), other little things. The iOS a

I'm not a Chrome-by-default user. But when it is closed and I drag a link to its icon, it is very infuriating that it just doesn't open the link that I asked it to, but whatever else it felt like opening alongside it.

One thought that entered my mind, and wouldn't quite leave, while reading this is: "I hope that people like and value my work after I'm gone." This article is good writing, even though most of it is just re-telling of

The react conference videos are great. The technology seems awesome. But there was one quip that caught me off guard, the presenter said something like: "if your application still has urls to back up every action, like it's the 90

Funny how branding works. Having never heard of, or forgotten about, CrunchBang, for a split second I thought "Tech Crunch has a linux bistro? Must be for that tablet that they made a few years ago." I recently encountered this wi

"but he didn’t learn his lesson there" This set me up for a negative article about Go, but, like other Go-related materials, it makes me want to use it. I should use it.

My first thought as well, but aren't there older youtube videos that haven't been converted to html5-friendly formats?

Sports culture is funny. Fans/the system treat these guys like deities and also expect them to be humble. I actually like it when they're assholes. And you said "one of the NBA greats," come on man don't like your d

I tell people all the time that some of my best years were being broke and working 7am - 7pm on my failed startup. We had a preverbal basement in the form of a small business incubator, it was great. I miss those guys. I miss talking about

I haven't had a chance to read through some of the source, but does anyone know how the photo editing is done? Are there libs to handle those effects?

The advantage may just be the way you interface with the data, SQL vs Cypher/Gremlin(Groovy). I know with Gremlin one can easily walk the graph, write lambda functions to evaluate certain points while you traverse, create easy algorith
