Nobody really uses the non-blocking channel receive operations. I didn't even know it existed until now. Selecting on multiple channels is, however, is used very often, so this fits that paradigm quite well.

They only seized the DNS. They haven't shut down the site. Try http://88.80.11.29/

This article is old (from 2009). The guy needs to read the first chapter in the Ruby on Rails tutorial where it goes over generating models and creating database migrations. There's a very nice api for it.

The interface is a little overwhelming -- maybe it's more natural on a mobile device, though. From the video I saw there are too many features. I'm not a musician, but I know a couple and they're not the meticulous type that want to track e

It seems Google is deprecating the http resource, though. If you visit http://code.google.com/apis/libraries/devguide.html#jquery , all paths are listed as HTTPS. This seems like a good solution -- just encourage everyone to use HTTPS to a

Yes, browsers do cache SSL resources, so please use Google's CDN(hoisie.com)

From the article: "browsers do not cache files to disk if they’ve been retrieved via SSL" I don't think that's correct at all. Perhaps browsers have more secure defaults with SSL, but if you're explicit and specify Cache-Control headers, it

Right now I have the "shadow" role for the streaming API: see http://dev.twitter.com/pages/streaming_api_methods I requested "birddog", which provides 400k stream follows.

This seems more like a strategic investment. They're obviously partnering with Goldman Sachs for an (eventual) IPO, and the terms were probably good. Why not do it?

Ditto. I ditched Bank of America and switched to Schwab, it's great.

Go does concurrency well, but it's designed for concurrency on a single machine, not so much parallel processing on many different machines.

One of my friends from high school is a freelance dancer in SF. I'm amazing by what those girls are capable of. It takes so much determination to keep going. Most girls can't make a living on dancing itself, so they have to have to find sid

Might be too late but I just forwarded this news item to some people in Google. Hopefully they can shake things up a bit. Also, shoot me an e-mail (in the profile). I know a couple unemployed architects in the SF area that used to work in w

At least the bing text is designed to contrast the background image. The Google homepage looks awful , and there doesn't seem to be a way to turn it off.

Interesting data, but the comment about political polls is a bit misleading. Political polls are a random sample of a target population and are designed to avoid biases. This is a voluntary survey with plenty of response bias, so I'd keep t

This is a really informative talk, thanks for posting. I'm definitely the target audience - I avoid designing stuff until the very end, and it's often a daunting process. The site mentioned at the end, pattertap.com, is great.

When parsing boundaries you know the first character is going to be a hyphen(-), and the last character is going to be a newline. Wouldn't it be easier to search for hyphens, and then read until you see a newline, and then compare to the bo

I'm mostly worried about Flash in the context of network usage. I can't say how the power performance is for graphics and gaming, but I'd guess it's about the same as native phone apps. It's easy to imagine flash apps with network access pa

It's something more fundamental. When writing software for mobile devices, you really need to optimize for power consumption. There was a recent talk at Google IO about the new polling vs pushing for web services, and it's alarming. If your

I hope they get the interface right this time. App Engine has an awkward interface that's not nearly as flexible and powerful as EC2.

I'm glad HTC is doing this. Since the iPhone came out, Apple has developed this smug godlike aura and it's time that someone stood up against them.

Just a couple nitpics: 1. Redbot doesn't like some of the http headers: http://redbot.org/?uri=http://tempalias.com/ Content-type should be "text/html; charset=utf-8 ". Why the keep-alive connection? 2. It feels like the home page is rend

I've been using it a lot. I've built a couple Facebook apps with it and they're running great. Recently the language got exceptions, which makes writing robust services a lot better.
