This is absolutely not a simple Q&A transcript being dumped online, I assure you. You have no idea how much work goes into something like this. See the disclaimer at the top where it says the interview was condensed? A lot of informatio

This makes the "Twitter-like" system less "Twitter-like". Don't get me wrong, I see your point, and I can think of a technical solution (point to OPML feed collections instead of feeds), but the further this gets from the original popular t

I was mis-remembering how iTunes work there. It will auto-re-shuffle in some cases -- you don't always have to do it explicitly -- but it looks like it has more to do with whether you switch away from the playlist after the music stops play

Did you read the first (highest rated) answer? This has nothing to do with iTunes trying to be "an algorithmic DJ" rather than truly random, it has do with the confusing intersection of two features: You can pick the first song in the rando

I completely agree about Wondrich. I'm partway through Imbibe and it's fantastic. Not sure about American whisky aging, though that sounds plausible.

You're way off on standard Evan Williams ("black label"). It's very good, even if you don't factor in the remarkably low cost. Calling it "abrasive" or like an "industrial solvent" is way inaccurate. Maybe you're just used to very mellowed

I wonder whether fear of a Twitter crackdown on third-party clients played any role in the timing of this. Having an app, even an alpha app, in users' hands would increase the outcry if Twitter were to move against third-party clients like

I'm very curious about what sort of work was involved in such a project. Presumably there was some sort of relatively low level compatibility layer involved, since Marklar was kept updated to run 10.2, 10.3 and 10.4, apparently with a small

Speculating that the author would be a bad parent, and now additionally speculating she's a page-view whore, is completely orthogonal to your main point about the tone of the article. It's a gratuitous attack that flies in the face of this

Regarding Perl DOM parsing, you might want to check out HTML::Query. Its selectors still fall short of jQuery but when I was evaluating it against pQuery it came out ahead (IIRC).

Do you have anything other than "I believe what changed" - a memory you are uncertain of - to dispute the article? The doc you link does not mention auditors at all. And for what it's worth, this NY Times article would seem to support the o

Any idea why that's pegging the CPU? My naive analysis would be that once the database has sent/stored the data, the server is just doing some light filtering/serialization and sending it off to the client. But obviously there's more going
