What about adding it to http://news.ycombinator.com/jobs ?

The license should cover patents. If a company adds to the code using patented algorithms, they could perhaps block further development since nobody could use the code? I'm not a lawyer, so perhaps it's not a problem anyway.

Ir wouldn't make a difference to most examples, but he could save a few lines by not putting { on a separate line.

isBig(50) is more readable than yo::isBig(50) in my opinion.

And there are several don'ts in the slides too. Never give variables the same name as functions or other parts of the language. They named their variables $int, $string and $bool...

I agree. The UI is terrible. It was pure luck that I tried the arrow keys to navigate. And just blocking IE users like that is pure arrogance.

Storage is just a small part of the problem. Formats change all the time, and who knows if it's readable in 50 years?

I think it's a bit unfair to compare google.com to yahoo.com. google.com is clearly intended for search, while yahoo.com is so much more. Perhaps Yahoo should have made http://search.yahoo.com/ the default front page, but then search wou

Could it be that the women behave differently when they are most fertile? It would make sense that they would try their hardest to get pregnant at that time of the month.

What about a "Windows Update" service that works with 3rd party software. Like apt-get for Windows? For the software developers who won't change to the new installer, you should at least provide a feature that notifies the user when an upda

And it doesn't support IE7, and probably not IE6.

This just means that someone will buy their "patents" cheap and start another lawsuit.

I like to write clean and readable code when I program, so I also try to do the same with the HTML output. It's a matter of "pride". Another thing, is that you could reduce the HTML code a bit by using CSS more. The following example shows

I would probably make Wikipedia a front end to a Subversion repository. Then I would get all the data handling for free. I would of course add caching, to limit the number of reads to the Subversion server.

I'm going for the most obvious answer: USA is a single large market, over 5 times the population of UK. Most understand English and it is also geographically large, so there's lots of room for local competition. You have a much greater chan

Most of the "marketing" is done by tech people blogging about the new product, and other tech people read it and thinks that everyone uses it. I would think that Gmail is the perfect example of this. I read about it all the time, but that's

I agree. The "threat" from Google is highly overrated. Gmail didn't kill their competitors. Nerds use it, but most users still uses Hotmail or Yahoo mail. The same can be said for "Froogle". This is a search engine from the world's most po
