Well, there is a pretty big incentive. Who wouldn't want their SERP real estate to have more attractive, more valuable information? Seems like a new kind of SEO opportunity for companies and freelance developers.

Sure, there's probably a point of diminishing returns. But at what age and volume of reading is it reached? Probably varies by person and profession. Mark Cuban seems to attribute a lot of his early success to voracious reading habits (t

Peronally I've gotten a lot more utility out of Friendfeed so far. Twitter is neat though -- I'm building a site that will scrape replies to a Twitter user called @rating and put them in a database of ratings. The reply just has to look li

The thing that strikes me as genuine about them is that they also respond, in pretty well-thought out detail, to attacking commenters who are clearly dumb and whom they could simply ignore at no cost. They follow several principles from "H

You can try ruby with one of the great online interactive tutorials of all time here: http://tryruby.hobix.com/ And from there you can start playing with Rails, which is a joy to use. I recommend starting with "Agile Web Development with

But why would that matter if they're just graphing the number of searches for the term? Is Trends displaying the result of an algorithm for term popularity and not just number of searches? I know these are also skewed because of other reas

Fun to play with, even if it means nothing. Interesting how San Francisco is the only U.S. city in the top 10 for these searches. Check out India's huge lead -- they love them some Java! If you add Ruby, Python, or Lisp, they just show up

You're in denial. One or two a month? Have you been to the site in the past 5 days? The "how to save HN" posts and comments are coming at a rapid pace because it's an immediate problem.

While I agree, I'm surprised that there was more defense of the Castro post than this one. I know there are some fans of the visual display of quantitative information among us here . . .

Guilty as charged. Anyone know of a good Rails editor for Windows? I like the eclipse-based RadRails, but I heard they stopped supporting and updating it. I don't care about tons of IDE features, just would like something simple and shiny

+1 - My school (Ga Tech) used Scheme as its intro language when I was there and I could've benefited from being sold on it a little more (too bad there was no Hacker News then). I wasn't alone in being annoyed that I had to mess around wi
