I'll get into more detail with a blog post tomorrow, but I just used Yahoo/Bing. It was a 3 hr project, figured I didn't need to reinvent the wheel :)

Hi, since there seems to be a lot of interest, I figured I could answer all of them at once in a blog post which I'll post sometime tomorrow. To answer your question though, the backend is running on Python. There's no particular reason. I

My site does not SEO well. If it's really confident about a result, it'll only give 1 or 2 results. i.e. http://foobub.com/?s=cats If it's kinda confused, it gives multiple results and ranks the site by most likely: http://foobub.com/?s=

I replied to this above. Just: 'Wikipedia, Yahoo Answers, Google Answers (lawl), Quora, Stackoverflow.' Stackoverflow comes up when you do coding questions, yahoo answers when you do just random questions. Although, Quora doesn't appear as

Wikipedia, Yahoo Answers, Google Answers (lawl), Quora, Stackoverflow. Try putting in a coding question and Stackoverflow will show: http://foobub.com/?s=python+xrange+vs+range If you put in a random question, yahoo answers will probably

The website isn't meant to be used for any real utility. What I wanted to demonstrate was just an alternate way to look at search. I think we've just gotten so used to Google and its millions of results; I wondered, what would happen if I t

The Zuck is sort of right though. There is no doubt that the iOS / Android FB app is pretty slow and buggy due to their dependence on HTML5. They've gotten grilled by their users in the past -- although props to them for really improving it

3D maps looks promising. I haven't read through the iOS 6 dev manual, but I wonder what implication it has on MKMapKit and developers.

Am I the only one that thought their comment was in good humor? Maybe my sense of humor is twisted, but having attended many hackathons, I got a good chuckle as it was obvious that many of them turn out to be sausage fests. I felt this comm

Just as an FYI, I've kept the sheet unchanged. For the most, this is what the users put in and this is the order they inputed them. If you guys would like me to organize the chart better, i.e. by salary, or something, let me know please.

I want stock because I know the work I"m doing is adding tremendous value to the company. I also know that right now, I am underpaid. I do more than 40 hours a week and what to do more than 40 hours a week. I want that work to translate to

I'm ready to leave. I know that if I leave, the company will be in shambles. I know that if I dont' approach it right, I will strain my relationship with the general manager and that is not a good position to be in when you want a potential

That's really low. After this survey is done, I can give you access to the excel sheet. If I were you, I'd print it out, show it to my boss and ask for a raise. If not, I'd walk away and find another job. Frankly, 42k in SoCal does not cut

I agree. But you know what they say, the grass is greener on the other side. I love my job. I love my boss, my coworkers, my commute, the culture, everything. The only thing I don't like is my salary. Now if I were to get 110k at Microsoft
