Sign, maybe it is better apologize later than asking for permissions first. My company hotlist.com was thinking about similar User Interface as "Grils Around Me" for Hotlist.com on 2008, but we think it was too creepy for users to accept it

Ruby community is quite reasonable. I usually avoid discussions in framework communities. At the other hand, programming language communities tend to be more reasonable and nerdy. I feel bad that you missed the chance to know ruby language

Zed, Please don't feel bad or sorry here. Your critic to the code is VALID. Besides, you are not the only one who have understood the problem in K&R. I had a boss who was aware of this since 90's and talked about it when I was quite ign

I am interested. I used an approximation algorithm that have a lot of edge cases. A complete and accurate open source solution is very great.

Sorry, bad grammar. I meant "modern web UI is more advanced than desktop UI". Like what Jeff Atwood said before in 2007. http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/2007/06/who-killed-the-desk...

In east Asia, poaching is viewed as bad taste and disloyal. A person has to leave a job first before looking for next job. A company tries to recruit employees from other companies gets blacklisted for a period. But despite of distaste, peo

Also this falls into the "pie fallacy" of view of wealth. Total wealth in the world is not a static function that doesn't change overtime. If people decide to exchange some of their wealth and "time" to make them feel happy and satisfied an

I feel you confuse cost of a thing/service with worth of a thing/service. For example, your employers knows it costs them much less than your salary for you to survive. You can live on basic food, clothing, and other very low cost means to

All business charge highest possible price for service and product that buyers in the market accept. The cost of making something is practically irrelevant. We all know raw material in a good restaurant costs only a fraction of price on men
