I'm the author of the post and I wrote the entire site's codebase (syrah.co), and I did all the design, so it's all on me. You're right, we will be fixing this in an update soon. Syrah is still in beta and we weren't quite expecting this to get as widely read as it's becoming, so hopefully you'll forgive the crappy formatting :)

Appreciate the feedback.
You just described Boston. (The traffic can turn into a pain in the rear during peak times, but that's pretty avoidable and on a tech salary you can easily live somewhere you don't need a car for regular stuff.)
Or µVC. No exchange of equity, just debt. Actual debt.
I've used Simplenote in the past, and it definitely lives up to its name -- very simple and smooth, great when all you need is text. And it does support some organization via tags. But for the sort of structured planning I'm doing right now (story outlines, character notes, etc), that doesn't work as well as the hierarchical folders/notebooks model in Evernote or OneNote. And the lack of formatting hurts in my specific case.

Thanks for the suggestion, though!

Assuming you are serious and not here to troll, I would suggest checking out Founder Dating (http://founderdating.com). I don't have any affiliations with the company though I am a member and it's a very active community and the website helps connect people together to build something together.
I'd say the author is pretty directly responsible; he is the CEO and founder of the platform :-)

Personally I just switched to reader mode, but that's not actionable feedback.
Nope, but I have access to the beta.
For me, it's definitely gotten worse. They've gone from a relatively tightly-focused product to one that does a million different things badly.

That, and they lost a bunch of my data, and then waited three goddamn weeks before responding to my ticket. I submitted it on New Year's Eve, so I would have understood if it took a couple of days, but January 20th is completely unacceptable.

The LA nightlife has already seen a huge benefit from the arrival of Uber. Self-driving electric vehicles will do remarkable things to transform it further, including reduce air pollution and traffic congestion. An exciting future indeed.
I agree with your point, but to the user it can feel like a violation of privacy, and at that point it's not particularly important who's doing it.

Whether it's the faceless search engine or the faceless retargeting company, the net result is that something you thought was personal and private feels less so.
Clifford Stoll was right. Read Silicon Snake Oil and marvel at his prescience.
Also "cancer" is not one disease. It's thousands of separate diseases.

Moreover, technology is not a straight line. For example as far as cancer research goes, computer gaming and the incredible investment in graphics card technology (and the consumer market for it) has done more to help in recent years as a general effort then any other specific advance.

But people have definitely sat around saying "we shouldn't spend money on this..."

Came here to say this. Nearly unreadable without changing font-weight:400. Luckily it's not also scrolljacking or fixing headers or share buttons or some other crap.

This is one of my core 'why haven't we fixed this' frustrations with the web. Despite pre-dating social networks, blogging is stuck in its own kind of myspace era where authors have near complete control and proportional ignorance of how to present content, and every article is a surprise for the reader as to how it will look/feel/perform.

For such a simple thing as the written word, the inability to personalize to users basic reading needs is kinda bonkers and exemplary of how different the web has turned out from its intended use. Safari Reader View is alright but unavailable or cuts off on many sites like this one, and the RSS standards are sadly out of favor. Sigh
The post is not about them going out of business; in fact, numerous times I suggest that that is not likely to happen. The post concerns the $1B valuation's validity. It's possible to have a very nice, profitable company making a note taking application and also not be a unicorn.
Re-capcha that identifies this writing would be cool.

This is a pretty informative post about optimizing custom python code to do some image manipulations, but if you just want to make images like in the post, a service like Imgix could do a pretty good job and would work with App Engine, no matter which language you choose.

You're right, I am confused. The concept of there being a central authority that determines what is English, what is a dialect of English, and what is pidgin, is ridiculous. Language is an ever-evolving construction with fuzzy edges that defies anyone's ability to ascribe definite true or false values to it. Words have different meanings to different people. #literally :)

Is d'oh a word? When did it become a word? Which dictionary defines what a proper word is? Yolo? Swag?

As an Australian, swag has a very different meaning to me than the meaning you are probably, in your current state of mind, ascribing to it.
Reader View / RSS also cuts off right before the tweet FYI.

EDIT: I was under the presumption that reader view used RSS, which it turns out it may not. Anyway, very good article with a lot of good facts, forgot to mention that in my slight rant about styling on the web above :)

What bothers me the most about all these fertile sources for spam and ads to thrive (junk snail mail, telephone marketers, email spam, internet ads) is not just the malicious intent of most of it, but also the inefficiency of it all. A majority of Internet traffic is bots[1] costing electricity and time sorting through spam. Most of my snail mail by weight and size is trash every single day, waisting effort of an already underfunded and non-profitable USPS. Internet ads clutter up web interfaces and take up cycles in our browsers wasting time and making the delivery of information much less efficient. I feel as though in time, with all the physical and digital public services we have, 60% of infrastructure resources will go toward wasteful and nefarious services, 30% will go toward blocking and mitigating said services, and the remaining 10% will be human activity wondering why everything is so damn slow and expensive.

So, 15 years ago I traveled to Senegal to help evaluate how the Internet could be useful to them, economically speaking. Before my trip, I was imagining things much like you're describing here. What I saw on my trip was fairly eye-opening.

First of all, in much of the country basic services like electricity and running water cannot be taken for granted. Phone service is available -- for a price paid by the minute to some equivalent of a local entrepreneur who has invested money into getting a mobile phone plan and has some means of charging / powering the equipment (solar was the typical method, although I saw more primitive techniques as well). Internet access was generally many miles away in a regional capital, which is probably an all day trip for someone walking or on a horse (cars are for the wealthy). When you get there, access is very expensive.

I'm assuming things have gotten better in the last 15 years. For instance mobile phone penetration was already dramatic when I visited and can only have improved since then. However literacy was a serious problem -- you have to be able to read in order to make sense of almost anything on a computer, and in Senegal at least just knowing French is an elite signifier since most speak Wolof. Very few people were fluent English speakers -- I effectively had to learn pidgin French just to have conversations with the local telecom employees, although thankfully most Internet-specific technical terms were just directly taken from English.

In Dakar (the capital city) things were very different. It was pretty much what I imagined a typical city in Africa to be like -- and Internet access there was still expensive but in the realm of affordable. University students got some sort of access that was reasonable, although the pipe out of the country was pitifully small at the time (we had more bandwidth for our office than the whole country had in 2001).

The really interesting thing was that no one could figure out how to make money off Internet access other than Internet cafes and connecting people to the very large number of Senegalese who live outside the country. I imagine the remittance market is huge now. However things have changed, it almost certainly hinges on the extreme motivation people there have to better their lives. They will move heaven and earth to make a buck -- SV entrepreneurs could learn a lot from the drive on display everywhere I went. If you can imagine a way to make money from a situation, they were way ahead of you.

One last thing -- Senegal is considered one of the African success stories, generally speaking. It is relatively democratic, has a growing economy (without all the problems that come with having oil deposits) and has been the recipient of decades of development funding. Many countries in Africa are worse off than Senegal, and I would imagine the snapshot I got in 2001 looks like utopia to them now.

Hmm... It looks like you already submitted that.
I have... mixed feelings about Arch :-). It certainly doesn't appease me in any way; I don't use Gentoo because I like speed or especially DIY. I've done a lot of DIY crap on my Linux machines in the 90s and 00s. I don't enjoy doing it again. The only reason I use Gentoo is that, via the thickest web of USE flags I've ever woven, I can keep freedesktop.org's EverythingKit, most of Gnome's crap, pulseaudio and systemd out of my system. I can't really do that on Arch.

I think Arch is good in terms of "learning experience" for someone who wants to learn more about how a distribution is put together, but that's about it. I used it for a while, back in 2005 or so, but our later contacts have been... less than fortunate. I tried it again two or three years ago and my system regularly broke after every update. I eventually ragequit when I ended up with a system that wouldn't boot because, in The Great Move of Everything to /bin, it somehow managed to screw up the bootloader. I figured my data was going to be next, wondered what the fuck they were thinking even in the context of a rolling release, shrugged and wiped it out.

The Arch Wiki is a great repository of information though. It's even better than the Gentoo wiki was, back before it got (disastrously) wiped out.

> I'm curious how the more hardcore *nix users view it.

They probably think lowly of the whole Linux thing, but what do they know :-)

> But I was turned off by the culty vibe of the users and it seemed like a backwaters in terms of software versions, as everything outside of the core seemed severely outdated.

I found the culty vibe of the OpenBSD community to be far less obnoxious than that around... pretty much any major Linux distribution.

There are quite a few outdated packages in ports though, yes. That's often because of a lack of maintainers, but there are programs where that's just because of compatibility problems. There are very few broken packages, if any, in the ports tree -- and sometimes the broken status is very paranoidly assigned (i.e. I've had packages that were marked as broken but it turned out they ran just fine).
Green lock = EV cert. People are trained to look for the green, not for the lock - few people other than techies even look for a grey lock. EV certs generally have much more stringent requirements than "hey, give me a cert!".

I suppose the reason why it "doesn't have too much written about it online" is because almost no one seems to call it "relaxation" - as someone who has been working in Asm for decades, this is the first time I've heard of that term. Everyone usually calls this "jump offset optimisation", "instruction encoding selection/optimisation", or some other variant of those words. Incidentally, the article doesn't mention the terms "near" and "short" jumps (16/32 and 8-bit displacement, respectively), which places it in a bit of an island with respect to others looking for related information on this topic. Instead I was expecting a post about how relaxing it is to read/write assembly language...

This goes all the way back to OPTASM in the 80s, if not earlier:

http://archives.scovetta.com/pub/walnut-creek/JSAGE/ZNODE3/I...

https://books.google.com/books?id=FC-L2faxEVkC&pg=PA43&lpg=P...

FASM is well known for this too:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FASM#Design

Essentially, the byte array holding the instruction has to be re-allocated because it has to grow larger

No it doesn't - just do one pass to figure out the maximum size (i.e. all instructions are the longest variant), and allocate a buffer of that size. You can be somewhat more intelligent by not increasing the size for the jumps that won't ever grow - e.g. backward ones ones whose target has been resolved already, and there aren't enough possibly-growing jumps between it and the current position to overflow the offset. Now iterate the code generation, moving the necessary bytes in the buffer forward when you hit a forward reference that's too far, until you reach the end. All done and ready to output, without any excess copying or messing around with linked lists. That's what the older assemblers which had this optimisation did, and they were plenty fast. (Rule of thumb: pointer chasing and small allocations are bad. Arrays and big blocks are good.)

I've made some changes to Typekit to thicken things up. Is it better? If not, can you provide details of your OS?

It looks this this here in Firefox (http://imgur.com/WRWYzBx) and this in Chrome (http://imgur.com/6dFeQhG) on OS X, testing across multiple Macs here. I'd really like to fix it though! Thanks for the heads up!

We moved from Google Fonts to TypeKit recently, so I suspect it may have happened then.
> what was it about the CRU emails that caused you to find
> climate scientists to be untrustworthy?

I haven't really looked at the emails since they came out, and at this point the details blur, and I'm not eager to dive back into them. It's more that they lowered the level of trust I had in the good faith of some of the participants. I'm sure there was a fair amount of confirmation bias, because I'd been immersed in the details of some of the papers for many years and already disliked a number of the participants because of (what I judge to be) the questionable quality of their scientific work.

While there were a few minor players who came off looking great (in my mind) several members of the leadership (in my mind) looked more like truth-twisting politicians than truth-seeking scientists. It wasn't a matter of smoking guns, rather lack of honorable exoneration for things that already concerned me. I agree that there were no findings of academic misconduct, but I don't think that shows the conduct was "becoming" of a good scientist.
I've primarily moved to a combination of Google Apps and Dropbox (for pure file storage). I can pretty much use Google Docs for the note taking I did with Evernote or I can use other apps that sync or export to Google Docs.
The other thing for me is that git is inherently very very stateful. There's tons of detail to keep in mind as you execute commands - your branch, what's staged or isn't, the state of the remotes, whether you have anything stashed, etc. To me that's a recipe for a tool that should be used through a GUI.
Good idea, I was looking forward to find something like this.

I always kind of figured that the first pass would emit the most general form of a jump, then shorten it if possible, but I guess it works the other way around too.

Porsche expect it to be a production car within 5 years.

So this shouldn't be compared with Tesla's current offering. This is going to have to compete with the products Tesla are making in ~5 years time. Statements like "It charges in 15 minutes, faster than Tesla's superchargers" are effectively meaningless unless Tesla make absolutely no improvements to their charging technology over the next half decade. I think Tesla have the edge here.

I'm pretty sure "People are trained to look for the green, not for the lock" is newer and not nearly as widely known advice as "look for the lock". And it's pretty obvious just looking around non-tech-related sites that even the "look for the lock" advice isn't all that well received - so many sites use images of padlocks on the page to imply "banking grade security!!!", surely not _all_ of them are incompetent - I have a strong suspicion that at least some of those people are doing it as part of high statistical significance validated A?B tested funnel optimisations...
