A lot of users make very valuable comments which are often overlooked for various reasons. I was hoping this would give them some deserved attention. Also, having spent a bit of time looking at various users' comment streams, I've found mys

Nice! I really like how the different interface elements are packed onto the same page. Makes it extremely easy to make an assessment. It would be super awesome to have a CSS Zen Garden-like effort for Web App themes based around that HTML.

Anyone know the origins of "What is Air?". It seems to be yet another meme that's passed me by, but Googling doesn't yield much in the way of an explanation — just lots of people on Tumblr saying it and finding it seemingly funny... http:/

The linked slides are a lot more informative than the summary on that page: http://mvdirona.com/jrh/TalksAndPapers/KushagraVaidMicrosoft... It's interesting that in contrast to the likes of Google and HP who have been stating that the cos

Oooh, Scoble is on HN. Welcome Scoble! Is it just me or have the major bloggers taken an interest in HN recently? I noticed that Dave Winer started engaging about two months ago and now Scoble. Did something major happen to prompt this or i

Am I the only person who found Reddit generally quite unpleasant? It really is heart-warming to hear of all the good that those on Reddit have done. But I can't help feel that it's the exact same mob mentality which made me want to leave Re

Quite frankly, the anti-NoSQL-as-a-term is getting a bit tiring. As someone who has been working on "NoSQL" systems since 2000, I have been extremely thankful that there is finally a broad-based movement exploring alternative datastore arch

I can only really see this coming to an end after a Facebook IPO hits the market. Until then, it does feel like a period of "irrational exuberance" all over again.

Nice! Here's the description: What I did was rig it to track contours on the depth image, and attempt to pick out a rectangular object. Then, by using the detected location of the corners, I can apply it as a perspective transform to my la

Totally agreed that the world outside Google has mostly caught up . An equivalent for BigTable and associated libraries is still missing though. Hypertable, HBase, KDI and even Cassandra are extremely poor substitutes. I often end up resor

Awesome list. I'd also recommend adding one more: - Never stop learning. The tech platforms and even underlying practices (Web, NoSQL, etc.) move so damned fast that even skipping a few years could leave one feeling quite daunted.

Great article, but I'd like to contest a few points. 4. Google forces its developers to use its infrastructure, which wasn’t developed for small social projects One of the advantages of working for Google is that you get access to this

Here's a much better approach: use IRC. I've successfully recruited dozens of exceptional individuals through IRC and am surprised that it's not often used for recruitment. Networks like freenode are filled with amazing individuals who are

It's interesting that they seem to believe that they need to have iPad-like apps in order to compete in the consumer market. I certainly like my apps. However, I also can't see how "native" apps could ever hope to compete against RESTful We
