A while ago I made this bookmarklet to easily geocitize a webpage: https://gist.github.com/2141034 The code is quite dumb but it works rather well.

In Firebug, I see that just opening that page makes my browser do 281 requests for scripts and what not. That's insane, users don't like to wait.

One problem with a service like this is: how do I know if I can trust it with people's email addresses? How do I know that this site doesn't store the emails tested and sell them to spammers?

Just because it is within the rights of Twitter to be a dick doesn't mean that it _should_ be a dick, and from where I am standing, Twitter is currently acting like a dick.

Do you have a source on that? I live in Sweden, have an average wage, and we have pretty high taxes, yet I could potentially buy a lot of movies and CDs if I wanted to, and I gather Denmark doesn't have that much higher taxes than Sweden, s

If you are a people-pleaser (and this doesn't necessarily carry a negative connotation), then it's a good tactic for any employer to play the victim card by talking crap about previous "walkers" in order to instill loyalty. You don't want t

Sounds like a great "plan to skip jail and fine". Well, I didn't say it was a good plan. ;) I was merely pointing out that I thought they were anticipating that this was how things would turn out. I would like to add: The statute of limit

AFAIK, every one of them lives in Thailand/Cambodia except for Carl Lundström. I think they were all aware (except Carl Lundström) that luck would run out sooner or later, and from what I've seen, they had the plans all laid out on how to s

Nope. I'm saying that the models should fit the past data. I think I misunderstood lzw. :)

Are you saying that the projections for the future should fit the past? I'm sorry.

You don't understand it correctly. Models are supposed to fit the evidence, otherwise they're incorrect. That's how science works. Say you've gathered evidence of the big bang. You create a model for it. Then, suddenly, for some reason obse

This should be implemented as a bookmarklet, or more preferably a userscript.

To those downvoting, please specify why. Personally, I can see that parent post shouldn't be here, but a suggestion on where to post it would be helpful so that others don't repeat the same mistake.

I see it like this: Success is relative, yet you can measure success. The more projects you've done, the more successful they ought to become (although some variance on that graph is perfectly normal, I presume). If you don't improve in pul

Nice! One thing I like about this service is that I can pretty rapidly wrap up a prototype of the layout of a site I'm about make a design for, and then try out different colors, fonts, paddings and margins etc. Excellent tool to get a roug

You mean like putting the methods into the native classes' prototypes? That's a bad idea. The reason why it is a bad idea is that you cannot extend a prototype only within a scope, i.e if you change the prototype, it'll be changed regardles

Ah, this one. Say you have a sample group with the size of 10000 people (all randomly picked). The prevalence of autism is calculated to be around 1% of an typical population. This would mean that the group consists of about 100 people who
