   I don't agree with the parent comment that I'm replying to, but I think this is a healthy skepticism to have. I don't think it deserves a downvote...

    Thoughtful sharding is not an optimization, it's a requirement at scale.

    Good hackers don't need your services as badly as bad hackers do. If you focus on quality hackers, I think you'll need to drop your price. Ten percent is reasonable if you provide a steady stream of work for hackers who don't have a clientb

    These are not Java-specific data structures. If you already know these concepts -- and I don't see how you could write code without inevitably bumping into them -- the Java implementations should be intuitive and trivial to learn. Not to me

    First, it seems like unnecessary overheard - memory, and potentially network - to store a Bloomfilter in Redis. A modern machine can pretty easily fit a BF containing hundreds of millions of items with a very, very low false positive rate i

    This series really got me thinking about the programmer as a craftsman or an artist. I know pg has written about this before, but I felt the connection for the first time as I watched these videos. I really empathized with these guys: the o

    Thanks! We'll probably disable the autoplaying soon... it's been pretty contentious :-)

    Makes sense. We've considered something like this. We also considered showing a cloud of tags, artists, and/or genres and asking the user to select a few. What do you think of something like that?

    Thanks for the feedback! I think you're right. Our recommendation system has seemed a bit weak, especially for new users - I think we're going to bury this somewhere as a Custom option rather than emphasizing it as one of the four major str

    We'll build proper search functionality (and display it prominently) soon. As for the tags/streams metaphors...it's good to know that this is the problem we've suspected it is. We have some ideas on how to fix it. Just need to make more hou

    Mike, this is an awesome gesture. I just filled out your survey. If you have a few spare moments, I'd love UI feedback on http://flock.fm (no big deal if you're overwhelmed with requests and don't have time)

    I can't agree more. Social music is the future of music, but it's struggling. The variety of online music sites/services is a strange double edged sword - I'm really happy that so many diverse music products exist, but the fragmentation of

    Flawed results can correlate with flawed results. If we measure Monday incorrectly, and we have the same flaw in how we measure Tuesday, is it a surprise that the results for both days might look similar? All we've proven is that people use

    Interesting, but this is a really naive (and outdated) NLP technique for analyzing sentiment. The researchers are injecting an enormous amount of bias by choosing apriori what words are considered positive and negative - they'll also miss b
