The biggest pain for me was the uploading process. Once they're on a website (like flickr) viewing and selecting good ones is easy and relatively quick. If you can become a target for an EyeFi uploads (I think they have 20-30 built in so t

My parents (my children's grandparents) are moving away from physical photos. The thing that pushed them over the edge was us starting to use an EyeFi card ( http://www.eye.fi/ ). It's an SD card that can wirelessly transmit pictures and u

I disagree with password schemes like this. Every website should have a unique password. Sharing a password across websites based on their "tier", opens you up to an entire tier getting cracked if any website is compromised. That's inexc

Am I missing something or shouldn't it be 30/10/1? 30% use it monthly, 10% use it daily, and 1% is the max number of concurrent users. In the article the last number is 10%, but it's stated as "the max number of concurrent users of a real-

I hadn't seen that one before so I came up with a similar script that updates both git and mercurial repositories: https://bitbucket.org/tednaleid/vimrc/src/tip/install.sh Tammer's has some nice things in it that I might crib, thanks for

I leverage Google Reader, but never go to the website. It stores my subscriptions and current read state. A variety of clients synchronize the latest results. NetNewsWire on the desktop, Reeder on the iPad and NewsRob on my NexusOne Andr

It feels like yak-shaving, but when you're learning a new language, that yak-shaving helps you dig into areas of the language (and it's infrastrucutre) that you wouldn't otherwise know about. It will pay off in the long run. Your productiv

I'm not saying $200k is a low salary, just that the top end is higher than $200k. You're not anywhere near the top end of the scale, but it's a relatively normally distributed curve and you're probably starting to move down the downslope of

Title is kind of linkbait. The article talks about how to pay equitably and transparently compared to co-workers, but doesn't actually say how _much_ you should pay. No real dollar numbers are discussed other than a range that "top-notch"

From what I've seen, they haven't been able to even manage the technologies that they've got now. Python on appengine is still at 2.5, something I voted to get updated (to at least 2.6) back in 2008. http://code.google.com/p/googleappengi

I switched to terminal from iTerm 1. I switched to iTerm 2 from terminal because of: - true split windows (cmd-d horizontal, cmd-shift-d vertical), as many as you can fit - good split window navigation (cmd-opt-arrow) - "save" window split

Agreed, the people that have their vanity domains backed by Google Apps are the hard core user base with lots of influence over other people. The kind of taste-makers that google desperately wants to get on Google+.

Annoyed that people with a Google Apps account can't join google+, when trying to join the error message is: "Oops... you need a Google profile to use this feature." "Google Profiles is not available for your organization." This is apparent

Yes, you can tell it to either make a copy to disk ever N seconds or use an AOF mechanism, but that doesn't mean it's in sync with your database. Depending on how your DB can get updated, you'll want to think about how the cache can get st

In most systems, you're probably already doing it. Any ORM that has a level 1/2 cache built in (like Hibernate and EHCache/terracotta/etc or SQL caching in Rails) is storing the data in more than one place. If the data is in the cache (or

Thanks, I think that'll release a lot of the pressure that it sounds like you're getting from your other comments here. I think that trying new things is good, and I support that, but without an escape hatch some people are going to feel t

I think OnSwipe is in for a lot of acrimony without this, especially from tech savvy users who might otherwise be promoters in some spaces. They'd have an easy defense of "if you don't like it, click this button and you're done". As it i

I hadn't run across OnSwipe yet on my iPad, but I went to slate.com and saw it. Not impressed and definitely not the browsing experience I want on my iPad. At least they put a link on the bottom to go to the normal desktop version. That

How does this compare to Tower? It's not obvious from the website, but I'm guessing is less fully featured. Anyone with experience with both who can comment?

I agree that this is an awful technology, if implemented, but could it be that the patent actually works in favor of freedom? The fact that this kind of technology "could" be created has nothing to do with whether or not there is a patent.

I had a phone screen with Amazon where the interviewer asked me a coding problem (don't remember the problem). He had a text editor open and wanted me to tell him exactly what to type, not pseudocode, the actual characters. If the program

Are you saying that you can get HBO Go without cable? From what I can see of the signup, I need to pick my cable provider to sign up (something I don't have). I'd be willing to pay for HBO, but I'm not willing to pay for other cable as ne

I think that this is showing a correlation between those programmers that enjoy programming and want to share their knowledge with others, and those programmers that stick with it for more than a decade. I bet that if you could separate out

It's not just tidiness. There's also a valid privacy concern. These parameters have nothing to do with serving the content the user wants and are only there to track users and behavior and are metadata about the real url that's attached li

I disagree with the OP. When you're actually reading newspapers, books, and magazines, they're open and are wider than they are tall. All other media, TV, movies, etc are also wider than tall, and tablets are not about consuming totally

I use shell history all the time, but I don't personally find it useful to use for really common operations. I agree with the OP that commands that you execute 10's or 100's of times a day should be made as short as possible and they'll be
