Is anyone using QuickCheck as the testing part of a TDD process? Does it work? There are quickcheck-derived libraries for Javascript, one of them by Douglas Crockford.

Sync deadlines help with at least two things: - motivation (helps with procrastination) - discussion (others are on the same stage)

It would be nice if someone installed e4rat on Ubuntu (with ureadahead) and reported the performance.

I would have expected Gmail to have machine learning based filters by now, where you give some examples and it just works.

So, how did Intuit manage to sell their product? What is their distribution strategy?

So these seem to be low stress situations for him, unlike public speaking. YC interviews are obviously high-stress for the founders though.

It's "principle", "principal" means something else.

There is also cpulimit if you want to set hard limits.

Apparently these primitives haven't found their way to the Node.js land yet... and sendfile is still undocumented.

Google Docs storage is $0.25 / GB * year. A random 1TB drive on Newegg was $0.17 / GB. Depending on you utilization and amortization schedule, it may be worth it.

I don't think there were price decreases of the hourly prices for EC2 instances - previous decreases were for traffic, or introducing reserved instances where you get lower price in exchange for commitment. I think trying to factor in futur

Like Instapaper, Readability doesn't have an android app, so any other advantage it may have is meaningless for me.

I've tried that. Unfortunately it burned through the battery of my Android phone so quickly that it's unusable unless the phone is plugged in.

I hoped to see a comparison of expressiveness: e.g. a minimal todo list app implemented in several frameworks. I guess this is too much work...

Actually, Google Prediction API is very simple and it covers supervised learning (regression and classification) already. I can imagine very simple extensions (of the API itself, the algorithms would be completely different) to cover a lot

OOP has nothing to do with the Disruptor pattern achieving that performance. I agree the concept is elegant, but I don't think the Java framework implementing it is. You can see a less general benchmark done in far less code in Go and C++:

Can you measure this aspect of code quality automatically? Perhaps it's not that much about code redundancy and how much does the execution jump around; it's more about making changes on multiple places to implement a single "thing" (like a

Debugging is almost always about uncovering wrong assumptions, but I don't see how you can do without assumptions. Every line of code assumes certain state of the program that it operates on.

AdWords come from google.com. You'd think this service is not limited to adsense... They could enforce it by technical means, by just blocking your IP.

If you start doing automated requests to their search engine, very soon they start serving captchas. They detect it using machine learning on features like number of requests coming from an IP, etc.

MixRank’s search engine for AdSense crawls pages running Google ads, indexing effectiveness data and estimating ad performance. That's strange. Crawling Google's ads is prohibited by robots.txt and their terms of service. And Google tends

What is this talk about "ripping off my iOS app’s private API"? Is there a reason it shouldn't be available for Android, and Android apps should use an inferior API? I understand people would not make some API public until they are ready to

The comparison to Google is incorrect, as I said elsewhere. Google ads are displayed in the right column by default, and you can't simply buy your way to the search results column. Google displays the ad there only when it considers the ad
