Forgive me if I misunderstand, but couldn't you just look at what people click on and assume they had clicked next for all the results before it?

Honestly, I don't want trials to ever be quick. If you're talking about putting someone in jail, you better be really freaking sure the guy is a threat to society and not just having a really bad week. I have threatened bloody murder to man

What would the police do? Break his legs? (Honestly, it seems the kind of circumstance where I can't really think of anything the police should be able to do to anyone who seems dangerous or "suspicious", because both are very much judgemen

If I had to guess, sites targeted at the early-adopter-techy crowd probably do far better after being reported on TechCrunch than things targeted at say recent parents (or your niche market of choice). In any case, yes, threats and violence

I've had three things I've worked on get posted to TC, and it was totally useless. Traffic had minimal stickiness (lots of clicks to the frontpage and nothing else), and when I think about my behavior when I read TC, it definitely makes sen

I got credit at Berkeley for some pretty silly things let me tell you ;) Sure, you have to have reasonable content, but for example, I had a friend who led a decal on Asian Soap Operas. Any professor can sign off on pretty much any decal, a

Mind you this is a "decal", which are kind of like clubs in a sense, with student instructors that teach classes more for personal edification purposes than "omg legitimate course of study!"

I presume that in most cases FactoryFactories exist for testability, and aren't created just to check that off on the enterprise checklist ;)

Also, I think with Gmail its a bit harder to decide how much to store on your local drive. I believe Reader just stores your unread stuff, but with email you often want to search or reference old messages, so its a substantially more compli

Sorry, I want to clarify: He doesn't mean Obama had to take his oath of office three times, but instead that Obama is the third president to have messed up when saying the oath of office.

Both. If you do anything in Java, people will ask for Eclipse integration. Clearly the market has spoken in Java-world ;) Emacs is good because people who are "good at Emacs" are good at text-editing in general. The tool is more general, bu

I got internship and full time SWE jobs at Google. They're competitive. About the same as Microsoft (though, they have better insurance and different tax situation), I'd say pay is comparable (I am getting quite a bit of income out of the f

I use eclipse when I need the debugger, and for certain code editing tasks (it understands Java code in a way that emacs doesn't... though I'm sure someone could write elisp to solve it) and emacs when I want to impress my friends. The wa

I actually use MySQL ;) Its pretty web two point oh-y. Honestly, when I say something like "single table inheritance" I wish people would use say a search engine and type it in and see what comes out. Its a pretty unique phrase that gets yo

Single table inheritance?

One argument against doing both is that Prototype alters many built in classes directly. This is often risky and dangerous, and makes interactions between the two code bases possible.

Based on the use of "this.columns" I assume this is bound to something . Probably not the anonymous function though.

I will say this, use of this is very scary and requires me to look at the docs more often (need to know where in the scope chain this is being set). In fact, I'd argue that in general seeing uses of this outside of object oriented code make

Google is a pretty strong proponent of net neutrality. The router will probably be preferential to Google packets, though, in the sense I assume these routers are for Google datacenters and not for other people to buy and stick in their hou

I wonder if the dalvik VM is optimized for regular computer architectures or only for the G1. Either way, I remember reading that Dalvik (or, well, Java) was chosen for the constraints it places on the programmer and access to verification

Honestly theres much more to web search than page rank. Stemming (run vs running), synonyms, and other linguistic hackery as well as integration/extension with say Maps (its really convenient to be able to search for say "Starbucks Cupertin

(Actually, I just realized, JS has == semantics that are... kind of crazy. Do you write equals calls as a call to an equal method or just kind of keep it in mind?)

Thanks, I meant that but got distracted by "oh! optimization opportunity!"

To be sure, the closer the two languages are, the less impedance mismatch there is. But no matter what, you brush up against the fact that when the languages are just plain different, you have to be careful. And if you know Javascript is di
