I'd like to hide the comments on questions, at least until after I've answered them. I found them to be a distraction.

he said if (competitive) { requires perfection from human opponent } you brought up a game where the condition does not apply. "competitive" in an understood word: can a computer tie consistently against what we agree is a moderately skille

The important part of the quote there is "where computers can compete". Go-bots have a long way to go before they'll be considered competitive.

Some functions of your site appear to be explicitly manual ("bubbling" polls into more general categories, linking congressional bills to news stories), but I was unable to find a clear breakdown of what is automatic and what require human

This article is fluff. There is a superficial exploration of the development process, punctuated with non-descriptions of the actual coding. Screenshots of nested items is not news. The entire content is that FogBugz has met a routine featu

"This site normally works even when JavaScript is disabled, but we temporarily switched off that functionality for performance reasons. Please come back in a couple of hours." Riiight.

I recently did a project with naive bayesian classification, and it was a blast. If you haven't gotten your feet wet with artificial intelligence yet, I recommend document classification as a starting point. O'Reilly's "Collective Intellige

I have the same problem as the parent comment. ( http://news.ycombinator.com/news doesn't work while http://news.ycombinator.com does). If it doesn't break anything for you to add the wildcard, you should tack it on. edit: you also seem

I visited this article twice this evening, and it appears to have been edited to address your point about separate domains vs. subdomains. The author failed to indicate an edit occurred, which I consider a bad Reader Confidence Optimization

gedit didn't make the list yet? for shame! syntax highlighting, auto-indentation, line numbers, multi-line tab, multi-line comments (with a plugin), installed whether you want it or not with ubuntu.

seconded. even flash would be poisonous here--algorithms want to live in a pre tag!

From bizarre reactions to imaginary CPU use problems, to hacking in to their client's servers, this article presented some good reasons not to use Rimuhosting.

The post you replied to appears to be referencing FogBugz specifically.

The author mentions his project PXtoEM.com a little too often in this post.

It's funny--I was going to post that exact phrase and link.

Google Insights is a fun toy, but this sort of story is annoyingly unscientific. Finding a cycle and an off-the-cuff explanation is easy. Where's the fun part--the search, the proof, the extension into other ideas? As a reminder that Insigh

I'm pretty sure the header should read "Crippled" instead of "Cippled." Hilarious typo aside, bravo.

The comments on the linked page say it, but it bears repeating: why blatantly rip off the features of your competition that are bad?

Indeed.com's results for today (for me, at least) are all from this site. I spotted a job I wanted, jumped through 30 minutes of hoops setting up a mandatory profile, only to get bounced to a removed dice.com listing. Awesome.

It's not that I need all information in list form--I just expect "list of" articles to follow a certain form. This article is amusing (if rambling), but a title like "Ricky Jay and Errol Morris wax poetic about lying" might work better.

The tone is overly-bombastic, but there's the seed of a good idea in here. Getting the a consistent look in FF3 and IE6 is Sisyphean; making a IE6-only layout much easier. The author recommends dropping the whole "one app, one look" conceit

It seems like there's a different between "content originating from urbandictionary.com" and "urban slang." The latter phrase has an understood (read: charged) meaning which predates urbandictionary.com

While Github differs from the social networking sites mentioned above, your employees must be allowed to keep their after-hours, legal programming private. Requiring the submission of internet profiles is intrusive.

Reminds me or a story I read a few weeks back: http://github.com/raganwald/homoiconic/blob/master/2009-06-2... . Asking for profile information as part of an interview process is not popular around here; I'd suggest scrubbing your earlier
