You'd rather a robot hit your frontpage— and by association, your application- than hit your 404 static page? Instead of generating errors from 404s (a lot of noise), try generating errors from the same repeated 404s.

Recovery-Oriented Computing has hit HN before. Instead of surfing the overview page, check out the toplevel with links to a LOT of fantastic and accessible papers and presentations: http://roc.cs.berkeley.edu/ Then, move on to James Hamil

Probably not. The non-repudiable tracing of exchanges make it easy to trace consumers of a piece of data. See their note: In this regard the anonymity guarantees of the Cryptosphere are no different from a system like BitTorrent, aside fro

There's more than one person named Alice, and there's more than one person named Bob. Like others, I'm allergic to DNS for identity. Yes, the UX is atrocious (see: OpenID). But, what about getting away from a global namespace? Let people re

I love the minimalism! If you add sign-in-with-github support, be sure you start hosting the HTML and JS off a different domain.

Is this anecdotal or can you link to numbers? It's been many years since I worked in undergraduate recruiting, but last I heard this was less and less true every year. (Economics, astronomy and biology related fields like biophys and bioche

Android (which no one wants on anything other than phones) Oh? Now Gruber says people want Android on phones? Sorry, we're doing Apple vs. Microsoft here. I'll try to not get distracted.

If you want to discredit theorists who have been critical of scientific practices, you need to put down the Sokal and actually engage with specific works. NB: I'm completely ignorant in this realm. I thought one of the key points of "Impo

Please read the paper and not the HN title. The paper's title is casting doubts on the positive impact of statically typed languages as they had a negative impact on development time. (though not quality)

No, it isn't. Please read the paper and not the HN title. The paper clearly states that static typing slowed development time down .

It's frustrating to see so many disparate efforts. For example, there's the Peer to Peer Streaming Protocol[1] work occurring in the IETF. Really fantastic stuff! (they basically took Bittorrent, stripped the cruft, and used a Merkle Tree t
