I'll write up an article on the backend in a few days. I put a lot of thought and time into making it as fast as possible. We're working on a mobile site and app. Both should be out in a few weeks.

A month or so ago 7hundredand77 posted nuesbyte here, and many of you liked it but it had some significant problems. I offered to help him with it, and today we'd like to show it to you all again. Since then we've rewritten the entire thin

Do you need any help with this project, specifically with the backend and scaling? My email is in my profile if so.

If it was an issue of ad views all they'd have to do is add an ad bar at the top ala gmail.

My guess is that the city size has a lot to do with the CPU cost of running an AI for so many agents so until hardware improves or their algorithms improve they won't allow larger sized cities.

Yeah, this is EXACTLY the problem web intents was designed to solve.

That's my favorite library! I think people who write in node must just see threads like this and laugh.

With commonJS javascript is a perfectly good language to write real, large code base apps in. With coffeescript, it's a pleasure.

I thought that too until I read your post actually. Smells like a likely trademark issue.

That's one advantage of foursquare: after you've checked in at a number of restaurants, it does a good job of suggesting places based on where you and similarly minded people have checked in.

This looks really useful. Do you have plans to monetize it?

Won't be much of an issue when we have self-driving cars.

Seems to me it would be easy for the android console to go into standby while the car is off. Basically turn off all the radios and just keep ram alive so it can come up instantly when the car turns on again, using minimal battery. You kn

Care to explain how, say in linux?

Very cool. But you need to fix it for transparent gifs; they just stack on top of each other and need to clear the previous.

Agreed. I think the italics of "The Simple & Snappy Email Ticketing Software that doesn't kill Your Human Face" isn't extremely legible, causing my eyes to jump right over it, so I didn't pick up on what was being sold right away.

I think it really depends on the company you are hiring for. At my present one, personality is absolutely as important as skill, so if you sound like a pretentious snob we probably won't be interested in you. At my last company (a fortune

its not quite that bad really. unless you are scaling amazingly fast, like say twitter did, usually you get site slowness that you can troubleshoot and fix, not a completely busted website. my suggestion is to read some books/websites on t

Text input in horizontal mode is pretty comfortable, IMO, but then the screen you are inputting into usually isnt visible. I'd like to see a phone with a popup screen for horizontal mode. :P edit: oh yeah, they make slide out keyboards for
