Are they hits to the front page? Direct would suggest something like a Twitter client or email. But I don't see much mention of your url on Twitter. Perhaps it's been shortened. Really annoying that there's probably no way to figure out wha

High unlikely your app is going "viral". It's probably on the front page of something big. Uhh, can't you look at the referrer logs to find out where?

Who here thinks that Zuck has always known about this contract? And has been praying every day that Ceglia had forgotten about it / died / etc. And the stress and stakes rose day after day, Zuck dying on the inside like w/ the tell-tale hea

Amazon reaching out is the opportunity. Not the droid/berry/nokia you have sitting on your desk that will be sitting there next month.

What's going to happen is that they will disappear in the middle of the night some day, probably whenever some cop they've paid off let's them know they're about to get raided.

It's definitely killing Wikipedia in the area of random text generation. Reading Cpedia is like dropping acid and having William S. Burroughs read you search results.

I'd upvote you twice if I could for pointing out this amazing resource. I'm amazed I never knew about it.

Interesting ideas. I think I agree with trafficlight's reply. Without domain knowledge, it's hard to tell whether these are real pain points or not. Like - which of these are actually costing people money right now? Which of them need the h

Please explain this site... I don't get it! Especially the part about how it gets traffic! :)

by famfam 16y ago
Even if you assume all the traffic comes in during just an 8 hour window of a 24 hour day, that's still barely over 1TPS. It's nothing. You didn't say how big your dataset was in mysql. If you were at 100x data to RAM ratio I would definite

Are blocks available in the iOS version of Objective-C? (Not trying to refute your point, just curious, since that would be exciting news for me if I do another iPhone app...

It's the same as in C. va_list, va_start, va_arg, va_end, etc.

Didn't see a single explanation of why the language deserves my love. Let's see. * The language is verbose. * Practically speaking, it's only used to developer for two platforms (OSX and iOS). * The frameworks for those platforms are MEGA v

A lot of people have done a lot worse things than Jason. I don't know why people feel the need to piss down his throat on a daily basis. I do wish he'd put his energies into something better than Mahalo though.

Can't say for a variety of lame reasons. But it's a game.

Nice game. I logged in to play it a bit. I'd love to hear how the game is doing for you (e.g. paying for itself, ramen profitable, ferrari profitable). I'm actually in the middle of developing a browser based "MMO" myself right now. (Nothin

You don't get paid anything until you make >$150 month in one particular financial region. In my case, been going on near a year and I still haven't made $150. whimper

Why don't you save me the capital outlay and just tell me what will happen?

Don't understand why you can't imagine someone wanting these jobs. Are you suggesting that this is most menial form of labor on the planet? There are far worse jobs to have. There are far worse jobs that are performed in abundance everyday

Are you suggesting that everyone in the US has their pick of jobs right now? Do you really think with how desperate times are people wouldn't be willing to work in a nice air conditioned factory for $8/hr? And how about the supervisor posit
