But the dividing instruction is still O(1).
One of the problems with replying to every piece of feedback is that a link on Google's search page--even a link that many people don't notice--gets a huge volume of feedback. And the resulting feedback can be pretty unhelpful ("I lost my cat. I think you should build a search for lost cats.") So we don't have the resources to reply to all of those. Personally, I would like if we offered a lower-volume feedback method with a higher hit rate of good feedback. Hacker News is acting as the prequalifier in this instance, but I find that people annoyed enough to blog often provide good feedback too.

Overall I agree with you, but even if we had that channel, many times the feedback would be: "Yup, that's a bad set of search results. We'll try to come up with a way to make it better, but it might be a while. Getting an algorithm to do better on this search will be hard."
Yes, that is actually what I meant to convey. I should have said that methods should be verbs, and that they should be methods of the subject (not direct object). And that parameters should be linguistic objects, direct or otherwise.

PS. Cases, I hadn't even considered that. My feeling is that methods should be imperatives. They tend to be anyway. I haven't given much thought though.
Hmmm... 6 out of 7 of those fit Foursquare. I'm not so sure that this is 7 megatrends and not just one or two.
Wehn I was into anime (about 5-15 years ago), it was a very, very common question from any "outsiders" who came into contact with the (then much less mainstream) medium.
I'm from Spain (though I live in Chicago) and I have to agree. If you get mad at every Spaniard who is late to meetings... well maybe you should stop dealing with Spaniards at all. It's what it is, and it's going to be difficult to change it.
Yup, I've used the Flashblock Firefox plug-in for quite a while. It replaces any Flash items with an icon that you can click to run the Flash. There's also a right-click option to always enable flash for a site (whitelist).

Flashblock is a simple and effective way to manage Flash.
The problem with fast food is not the food, it's the way people use it. Once in a while - no problem. Every day - big problems.

The problem with RSS is not RSS, it's the way people use it. Add a few sites whose content is enough interest to you that you read everything they publish - RSS is awesome. Add every site you come across that might produce something you're interested in between stuff you don't care about - big problem. You've invented yourself a new daily chore, and, worse still, you think you've done yourself a favour by doing it.

Same with twitter, too. Follow crap-spouters and you'll think that twitter is nothing more than the what-I-had-for-lunch stereotype. Follow people who 'get it', and you'll be annoyed at that stereotype.
Think of some Angels as potential partners. Select those which advice, help, network can help you and start the conversation. Seeing that you do not need their money will make them more interested in your business in the future.
Yes, I'm Filipino and light skinned, and the first thing people notice about me when I'm there is how light skinned I look. They associate this with beauty. People over there have this obsession with being white, with all the heart throb celebrities looking light skinned and "mestizo," and all the comedians and funny characters looking dark and more malay.
Novice question--wouldn't getting exploited require that I visit a site of ill-repute?

Or, alternatively, is there some cross-domain element that makes this a threat even if I'm just seeing Flash-based ads on CNN.com?
Do you have evidence? (Correlation != causation)
It probably does not, but probably could: JDownloader (http://jdownloader.org/home/index?s=lng_en) claims allow access to the content on those type sites.

However, having said that, there are probably clear legal lines between merely making a torrent file for any given content and actively circumventing interstitials. IANAL.
"You're a prick" is not a threat. If we can limit it to proportional consequences, I'd agree with you. Do you think calling someone a prick merits a ban from a country? (let alone a country that holds freedom of speech as a fundamental principle).

I'm not complaining about the type of racism, but the general trend of presupposing that all arguments against you will be of a certain misguided type and therefore illegitimate.

Like if I said "Mac is better than PC, and if anyone disagrees with me, it can only because that person is a pedophile". Obviously that example is unrealistic, but you see the issue.
No it doesn't.

In java any kind of minimal assignment can explode behind the scenes into a a whole pile of function calls, that would never happen in C, what you see is what you get.
I had initially assumed that whitening creams were used to create a caucasian look - an idea which I found quite repulsive. When a friend explained that it was to mimic the appearance of the upperclass, whose skin colour contrasted with a labourer's, it began to make sense. When thought of as a status enhancer, it doesn't seem that disimilar to tanning..
If for any reason you've got safe search off, you've been warned.
Ha! I wasn't trying to quote anyone
Up to about 100 years ago, this was common in Europe (and probably America) as well: when 90%+ of the populace were poor agriculture workers, white skin was a status symbol. This eventually reversed when most work moved indoors, and a tan became something acquired on vacations.

The open question is why Japan, as dominated by clerical work as any other fully industrialized country, still retains the ideal of white skin. OTOH, it's a generational thing there as well: deep, fake tans are quite popular among school-age girls (and guys).
I run a sports news aggregation site. Before RSS existed it was very difficult to manage all of my sources because they would change so often. I now aggregate several thousand sources by myself and this wouldn't be doable without RSS.

I'm curious about the author's opinion of Liar's Poker, especially the line I got on a plane to New York within the week. I packed my copy of Liar’s Poker for reference.

I'm surprised that anyone would read Liar's Poker and think of it as a reference to Wall Street on an inspiration to work there. The "gorilla" culture described by Michael Lewis at Salomon Brothers in the 80s sounds very close to what the author experienced at GS in the mid-2000s. At the end of the book, Lewis leaves the firm after slightly more than a year, regarding his pay as obscene for the work he did and wondering about the utility and usefulness of the trading he did.

So, how could anyone read Liar's Poker and come away from it wanting to work on Wall Street? Or does obscene bonus pay blind people to all the negatives?

I don't think Michael Lewis ever intended the book to inspire people to work on Wall Street.
Or maybe the companies worked together on it and they each get to release it as a product.

On one hand-side - yes, you're right. On the other - right now you have a choice of not seeing the movie at all, or maybe seeing it correctly in the next month thanks to this key.

One step at a time.

Also, there's a whole industry around copy-protection which won't go away in one day. Pretty much the best we can do right now, is make is obsolete by proving DRM is useless, while they will try to prove otherwise. DVD-s right now are a nice compromise where they did their job™, and we get the content as if it was not locked. (of course you still cannot skip the intros on "official players", but that's just an education issue - for example mplayer can play the movie itself without the added marketing crap)

"the solution to being able to handle emergencies quickly is the same as the solution to being able to see patients on time"

That's exactly what I said; just with slightly different words.
I did a quick check, and that website has some issues. Here's a wget on bmtcinfo.com:

$ wget http://bmtcinfo.com/
--2010-09-14 09:01:43-- http://bmtcinfo.com/
Resolving bmtcinfo.com... failed: Name or service not known.
wget: unable to resolve host address `bmtcinfo.com'

The url http://bmtcinfo.com/ just doesn't work in a browser or with wget. And trying to fetch the "www" version of the website, it does a 302 redirect to a deeper url. 302 redirects are the ones that don't pass PageRank. The last time we tried to crawl the page, we got an error--probably from the non-www version. I'll see what we can do to find this site better, but returning errors instead of content to Googlebot really hurts that effort.

By the way, we provide a free webmaster console that would let the owner of this domain self-diagnose these issues. The "Fetch as Googlebot" feature lets the owner send Googlebot to fetch a url on their site and see what Googlebot saw, including errors and redirects. If the owner of bmtcinfo.com were to use that tool, they'd probably notice the errors pretty quickly.

Reading the top ranked comment, perhaps there is a need for a post that emphasises the value of learning from failure as a way of learning better. Propaganda is not always a good way of viewing things.
Perhaps you missed the articles where Bloglines is shutting their doors?

I agree, I don't think that the technology is going anywhere, as it's pretty much saturated with support on almost every blog / publishing platform, etc. I think that the idea of an 'RSS Reader' is dying might hold more weight, as there are a number of issues with RSS that nobody is really working to tackle (that I know of -- I personally am, but that's another conversation.)

You may consider switching to Google Reader in the interim, as I don't think it's going anywhere.

I believe this was true in India for a long time too. I used to work in financial services and we outsourced a lot of work to groups in India. While I worked for this company, we would bring the brightest and best across the pond to work with us in the corporate hq. I was told multiple stories about how people returning from companies that had shrunk, and consequently laid off employees, would face social stigmas and even have trouble finding new work. "laid off" == "fired and thus not good" to cultures that were unfamiliar with the risk taking nature of US business.
>For example, C won't implement the "raise to nth power" >operator (in Python, 210 means 2 to the power of 10, for >example), because it can't be done with one assembly >instruction, only with a loop.

Not a great example of your point. Here is Analog devices Assembly for the ADSP-2100 Family.
Assuming Ar is loaded with 2:

sr=LSHIFT ar by 10;

Even without the assumption, no loop is needed for raising 2 to some power.
Another great trick I read in a reddit comment is to use <C-r>+ to paste right from the OS paste board. Of course, this only works when running Vim locally (i.e. not over an SSH connection).

[Edited from one of my comments ( http://thesocietypages.org/socimages/2010/08/30/guest-post-w... ) at the article]

Many people want to show that they have the financial means to enjoy leisure - whether that be because you’re well paid enough to take holidays, or because you employ others.
Most of the westernised world aims to get a tan - it shows that we have the means to go to far away sunny places and laze in the sun.
Conversely, in Asia, a tanned skin is what you get from labouring outdoors (farming, for example), and so light skin is a sign of a leisurely life.

And if you can’t afford a leisure lifestyle, you can buy the appearance of one in a bottle: fake tan, or skin bleacher.

What's wrong with 9am?
I spend my life rushing to things. Probably some internal overestimation of quite how much can be done for some length of time.
Sure, it would be nice to be on time for everything, but I was late every day to school (not for want of trying to be on time). I try to be on time, and often can be (altho arriving sweaty from running for the tube or bus). Other times it just doesn't happen. We have mobile phones these days so it's no big deal.. having to arrive for a hard and fast deadline is a lot less common than it used to be.
true... beyond a certain level however, I haven't been able to decipher yet.
I agree, manga characters are as white as Bambi is.
Haystack project responds to 'security concerns', looks like it's falling apart
That is a spiffy trick, thank you. I'll pay that forward when I see someone else gripe about WSj. :)
Yeah - surely there were other things happening during that day, to do?

Also, mobile phones .. the person being late will generally call (and maybe during 3 hours (!!) the person waiting might ring and find out whats going on).

Waiting, doing nothing for 3 hours and then complaining about it seems a bit passive aggressive, I think I would wait an hour tops.
Sorry Firefox. It's not you, it's me. Actually, it's you.

Yeah, in fact, Steven Jay Gould wrote a great article on how "As Mickey became increasingly well behaved over the years, his appearance became more youthful. Measurements of three stages in his development revealed a larger relative head size, larger eyes, and an enlarged cranium--all traits of juvenility." As he puts it, "Humans feel affection for animals with juvenile features."

Ask HN: How do you measure the success of your web app?
I have been working on a small app lately (http://onlineqrlab.com). I'm giving it few hours a week and monitoring Google and back links traffic with Google Adsense.

I would like to know how people interact with my app, are they really happy using it, what other features they might be looking for....

I have found delicious to be useful, it provides data on who saved my app and thus was satisfied/happy using it (http://www.delicious.com/url/abbd7844f4b1fc741e29ab2707c69f4f)

Any other tools/techniques/methods?
Sadly I saw that today too :-( As it happens, I have been thinking about developing a simple RSS reader for mobiles (my favourite bits of Bloglines + my favourite bits of Google Reader written to support the 'old skool' Blackberry browser) for a few months, so Bloglines' death gives me a kick to get started. If nothing else, it'll be an interesting little side project.
Sounds like a great basis for friendship and personal relationships (although maybe these are "productivity obstacles" too?)
This is one of the worst 'features' I have been fighting recently (along with most of the other beefs around here). I am trying to find an appliance review for a stove prone to breaking so I search:

"Brand Model 1234 broken control panel"

And get an aggregate review page with a mention of broken control panels for another model and brand on which my model and brand are not listed....

I'm glad that my search term is in a link pointing to this page, but that is worth less than nothing to me...
I'm pretty sure. Flash has been acting very weird lately (random UAC popups) and it's the first time I get malware from the web in over 5 years. Flash is the only plugin I use so unless there is also a 0-day in Chrome, Flash is the most likely suspect.
I've always said that Twitter brought RSS to the masses. Try explaining RSS to any non-technical person and watch their eyes gloss over. Twitter is fast becoming a source of news - you "subscribe" to people's Twitter accounts and get interesting links and thoughts pushed to your Twitter account and favorite Twitter client. Couldn't be more simple. Parsing links from Twitter and Facebook is going to become the next big thing (and something my startup is has been focused on for the last year, too).

I don't think when your making the appointment you know that you'll be late... otherwise you would schedule for another time - it's not a big conspiracy by the tardy after all.

If I didn't make appointments when I knew there'd be a 20-30% chance of me turning up late I'd make no appointments at all.
"After catching flack from developers over Rhapsody, Apple realized it needed a dramatically different approach to win converts to OS X, and Aqua was a key part of that. 'Aqua became a visible selling point for people to move to the new OS,' Tevanian recalled. 'If you just said, "Well, it kinda works a little better underneath," not many people would care.'"
Is the overall argument about is you shot with your blind eyes and miss the target, then you move the target and say you hit it, so you are a great master and never miss a shot.
Hah, that's great. That's exactly what I was saying :)
You should really automate this feedback process by mining the web for examples where people complain about Google quality AND they mention the search queries themselves :-)
Absolutely there are, despite our efforts. See the bmtcinfo.com example mentioned elsewhere on this page. But normally there's a good reason if we don't have a page, e.g. bmtcinfo.com returns an error unless you add a "www" in front of it.
Dude, Linus Torvalds is not a low-wage foreign worker. He has done more to provide you with a job than you have done to get yourself a job.

Opensource softwares have helped the US economy because lots of today's internet giants like Google benefitted from the use of opensource tools. They are paying taxes and employing Americans, ain't they. Linus Torvalds is synomymous with opensource.

Mr America, if i might ask, what have you done to provide a job for yourself, because if you can't even provide a job for yourself, how do you provide for others.

Make yourself competitive, read more and stay away from TV etc and you will soon land a job.

2 or 3 is a common multiplier when buying a site. For plain forums, it's often just 1, or less (which does beg the question why sell at all). For fast growing sites with potential, where there may be strategic reasons to buy it, it may be 5 to 6.

in a corporate situation, once a team starts working at any degree of efficiency at all, the real problem is getting the rest of the business to understand and agree on what the team is supposed to be getting paid for.

This happens in the consulting agency I work for, and we're only five or six programmers strong! There's far more situations, for us, that would be solved with more communication and not less.
using the information for feedback and iterating to improve your business model is not enough. When you are learning cycling you iterate and use the feedback but you fail, then you get some sense of equilibrium and maturity, but these are human capabilities that are not so common in business, perhaps a missing capability is needed to succeed in business.
