It would also be interesting to see if the voters are left or right handed (or ambidextrous?); I assume there is some correlation between this and the most used Shift key.
There's also http://www.skyscanner.net, which does not seem to get much love around here, even though it was doing flight search well before hipmunk even got started.

It's especially good if you want to do an open-ended search, as in you know where you are leaving from and which month you might want to leave, but you're flexible as to where you want to go.
Gosu, Ceylon ann Fantom all have really nice designs, from what little I've seen of them. I think the big corporate backer (Red Hat) makes a big difference.
You mean it's missing? Like, flat, instead of gradient? I can see that... Not sure I'd complain much, though.
Is this an OSX only issue? Just tried this on my Windows 7 box using version 13.0.772.0 and everything looks good to me.
That's not true. Google Analytics cookies are injected via JS. When heroku's Varnish is checking for a cached version of the page, it strips any cookie information given by the browser.

We've are running production apps with Varnish caching + Google Analytics without issue.

Set your cookies with JS or on uncached pages (such as POST logins) and you'll be fine.
When I wanted to get better at Python, I started working through the problems at Project Euler[0], because they were novel and interesting. Also, many of them needed non-trivial optimizations to produce an answer in a reasonable amount of time.

After about 20-25 problems, I found myself reaching for the Python docs way less.

There are also new consumer use cases that cannot be achieved on iOS.

An app like Texty (http://goo.gl/P5c0q) is just not technically feasible on the iPhone. An iPhone version is our #2 requested "feature" -- but we just tell people "Go talk to Steve please :)"
>this type of scam doesn't happen in the US

In most of the US, this type of scam doesn't happen because we don't have this kind of parking lot. I think I've seen just one in my life. Most lots have either parking meters or gates and attendants.
http://seaofclouds.com/ worked on that.
What do you suspect it was intended for (keep in mind it is DC at that point)?
I think most people who seem unable are just unwilling. I can do that in my head, but it's a lot of effort without practice. Someone less patient might put "37" and "16" in their mind, start adding, and interpret the block they hit when trying to carry the 1 as "can't do it."

It's hard to imagine not being able to do it if you're practiced, but it's as hard to do as anything else you never have to do when you never do it.
That's a legitimate complaint. The text was anti-aliased in the first image, but it was only done on a whole-pixel basis. Adding a background color apparently convinces chrome to switch to subpixel antialiasing.

Whole pixel anti-aliasing looks bad and is inconsistent: both with other parts of Chrome, and with the rest of the broader operating system.
Holy crap, that was awesome!
Thanks a lot for your comment, callahad. I'll try to respond to your comments.

1. You're right, I hadn't actually noticed that until after I wrote the blog post. I think it's because I hide the Dock by default (still doesn't explain why I didn't notice it in the app switcher)

My point was, there are three places to manage downloads. I have to manually close the Downloads bar. Worst of all (and this is something I forgot to point out in the post) is that closing the downloads bar actually makes the browser window smaller!

2. You're right, there are nice parts of having the preferences be in the tab.

3. I didn't mean the search field covers search results, it covers the website's UI. Here's another example of it blocking the UI, this time in github: http://cl.ly/1t450T1S0s2J2V0I3O1W
How to get shell access with a .htaccess file
High inflation means you can't get loans and have to spend money immediately.

Also, those salaried workers have rights. If you can't pay them, the government shuts you down.
The question suggests that there's a linear answer, but honestly its like most other creative activities: work gets done in fits and spurts.

Some days I will do nothing, some days I will tweak a small piece of a small component, and some days I will completely rebuild parts of the platform.

If you push yourself to do more, you are trying too hard. You can't force the creative process.
Lets be clear, no one isn't saying that you shouldn't struggle with the terms one-by-one. Or to not solve something by hand ever -- but teach it and then find useful engaging (and appropriate) ways to use it. But its the current nostalgia over doing things "mind numbingly" repetitively. And "mind numbing" really is the operative phrase here.

I went through this as a child, where you do the same problem over and over again. Some of the symbols change, but the operations are identical.

It reminds me of when I was in 1st or 2nd grade doing long subtraction. And I had informed the teacher that I wanted to create the problems for the class, so she let me (on the chalkboard). But I snuck in some problems where the result would be negative. The kids struggled with these problems, but not a single student in the class said anything about the structure of the problem. And why would they? They learned nothing about what they were actually doing. It was a sequence of subtractions and carrys and other magic.
Agreed. The author has way too much time on his hands.
This is what you call a HATER!!!!!!! Stop being mad at the guy because he came up with a creative way to attract an employer!!! You could obviously tell your downgrading his skills by your ending comment "BTW, I'm available for work. If anyone from AirBnb is reading this.... etc" Please dude get a hold of yourself and stop HATING!!!!!! If you follow best practices and your so HOTSHOT, then why are you not working for a company right now? Why are you available for work?

Actually some worries are not about DNA damage/cancer, but mostly about demyelinisation due to the simmer cooking of the brain. Last time I checked, there still wasn't any serious public research on the topic.
In terms of the search field, you're terribly wrong. If there's a match under the search box and you hilight it, the bar moves away.
Feel free to let the Chrom(e|ium) authors aware of all of these "bugs" and "issues" here: http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/list

You might help yourself out if you increase your browser window's width beyond 500px. Sure, you did that for screenshot examples, but that's far from real-world usage (this is coming from someone who shuffles dozens of tabs around all day).
Thanks for the comment. I agree with almost everything you said, but I would add that Safari doesn't suffer from most of these issues, though it suffers from other problems.
Yes, that's a single dollar bill note, quickly grabbed from here:

http://www.enchantedlearning.com/math/money/bills/one/

I didn't count the $100 because I don't believe they're printed/circulated/destroyed/reprinted as heavily as the $1. Who knows about the 5, 10, 20 and 50.

I also don't think this $0.042 covers the labor cost of distributing, collecting, securely shredding and tracking the movement of all these bills through the system every 18 months.
This is a very good point, entrepreneurs have a lot to loose and history has taught them to be wary of the Argentinian government. Can't say I blame them. I suppose it's up to the government to "show" them that they can be "trusted" again.
Thanks! I'd be happy to analyze of corpora like reddit or Digg, but I don't want to scrape the sites as that is a great way to have my IP banned. Are there publicly-available datasets that I can download somewhere?
I'm not trying to spook you, but be sure to remind your family members to check for you in your basement nest if they can't find/reach you elsewhere.

It would be awful to experience a stroke or something similar, be unable to call for help, and not have anyone know where you were.
I didn't think you were saying it is a good excuse. I was just offering an example to support your suspicion that mainframes are the (poor) excuse the banks use.
I _have_ been unemployed for a week.
This is mainly because of the type of people that use Reddit. If more of the masses were using HN, you would see the same thing.
These are odd and rather subjective complaints. I see the author acknowledges that in the conclusion. I agree with the good part points, following are my opinions on the 'bad'.

I rather like the downloads UI - I was just wondering why Safari doesn't have a downloads tab like Chrome does. The separate window is a little clunky for me, esp. since OSX doesn't make it easy to cycle through tabs of a window with a keyboard shortcut (that I know of - Cmd-Tab does applications, Ctrl-tab does Safari tabs. How do you get the Download window with a keyboard shortcut?).

Preferences: what? Too many? I see Chrome as minimalistic in that area. IE, Opera, Firefox and Safari all offer just as many preference options or more.

favicons in the tabs: Is a bunch of text or icons a better solution for tiny tab markers? Icons make much more sense to me there.

The search field is superior to modal windows. I don't think it's better in Chrome than Firefox or Safari, but it's not worse. If you don't like it being over the content, close it.

The new tab page: isn't much different than any other browser, except for Firefox which lacks on entirely.

The tab bar: after complaining about favicons, now text in the tabs is labeled a problem: what's better?

Loading UI: Should we put a 64x64 animated icon in the upper right of the browser that cycles when the page is loading?

Hint: The people who run the government make their living by taking bribes and other acts of corruption that are a result of their regulations.

In the US, corruption on the transactional level (ie. lobbying congress, etc is out of scope here) is an exception that ultimately results in a government official going to jail. In a place like Argentina, corruption is a hidden tax that is reflected on nearly every transaction.

This programmer design fallacy got started by the Mormon church (not kidding): http://portal.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=169163

Gregg "Skip" Bailey, Manager of Human Factors, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

Iterative methodology and designer training in human-computer interface design, Proceedings CHI '93

This pseudo-scientific study pitted Skip and his team of highly trained designers versus old mainframe programmers (two of whom graduated college). They used an interface design tool--Skip and his design team had prior experience with it--to create interfaces for retired Mormon volunteers. The retirees made more errors with the programmer's interface and presto.. the myth of poor programmer designers is born with all the statistical significance generally found in CHI papers.

The one feature that Chrome doesn't have that Safari does (which therefore keeps me a satisfied Safari user) is one big difference he doesn't mention -- the Cmd-1 through Cmd-9 automatic key commands for one-off bookmarks in the Bookmarks Bar. If I want to resize my browser window to the size and location I like, I hit Cmd-1. For my local traffic map, I hit Cmd-9. (And so on.) This is so convenient for me, and I've devoted so much muscle memory to these commands, that switching to Chrome is a non-starter.

Some types of IUD do not use hormones, at all. Copper IUDs actually operate on the sperm, similarly to the procedure we're discussing.

IUDs, unfortunately, got a bad rap in the 70s, because of a dangerous design flaw, but they're quite safe now, and in use all over the world because of their low cost and ease of use (nothing to remember, no pills to take, nothing to put on).
Sure, that was my initial thought too. But something like this becomes useful for things like IDE settings across machines.

Version control solves the problem of sharing code across people and time, yes. This is more for sharing your development environment across different machines. Without needing to set up any kind of SSH on your own. And it's only clumsy because it's still so new.

I do think it'll be interesting to see this technology mix with version control and source code hosts. You could quickly tweak a few code files and commit a single change on GitHub. On a friends computer. Without sacrificing your editor of choice. Or perhaps further in the future, you could edit a view on on Heroku and see the changes happen immediately on a test server they'd be hosting with absolutely no local setup. Cool things can happen as this technology matures.
Defense contractor: "aggressive action" kept cyberattackers at bay
As long as you're fighting against yourself—effectively first trapping yourself and then hacking yourself out of your own trap—you're not making actual progress. However, it's likely that you're either doing the wrong thing, doing it for the wrong reasons, or doing it at the wrong time.

My productivity just happens with the right task, project, or job. I don't care how many browser windows I have open or what's happening on IRC. I just have my emacs open and I probably flip it back and forth with a terminal window or wherever I can see my program running, and watch it grow.

But it's a terrifying thought to accept that you're not doing the right thing. It's much easier to try to remove all distractions.
All this speculation about iCloud being Apple's answer to the Amazon Cloud Drive / Cloud Player is missing the forest for the trees. If iCloud is about iTunes, why isn't it being announced in September with the iPod family updates, instead of at WWDC?

The logical answer is that it's not a consumer service, but a developer-focused service. iCloud will no doubt be the platform for the Lala-derived service unveiled in September, but the platform is the big deal here: Think Amazon Web Services, but built specifically for integrating with iOS and MacOS, complete with a new Core Data Cloud API that makes adding sync to any app barely more challenging than writing for Core Data in the first place. And the basic tier (more than enough unless you're a top-100 app) is included in the $99/year membership.

That would be a game-changer.
My biggest complaint about Chrome: it's the year 2011 and it still doesn't support color profiles.

I mean, shit, Safari does, Firefox does, even IE does. As someone who loves photography and graphics, as Chrome usage takes over, the ability for people to view these works drops.

Why this hasn't been implemented (actually it has, it's been there in the dev branch since forever but has never made it into the regular release), is beyond me.
I'm suggesting that if you believe in the model, and even the most obvious ramifications of such an economy, the value of participating in the system is to be as far upstream as possible. I don't believe in the model, so, I'm not suggesting it has real value now or going forward.

You're also actually assuming something that runs counter to the stated bitcoin model, as described in the FAQ (which seems to be down at the moment). That is that there's an investment in making bitcoins, which they would say is not so. The intent in burning cycles and power is simply to ensure security, while the value comes from faith in the currency. Hence, there is no investment in creation: the investment would instead be in accepting bitcoins in transactions, which iterates the pyramidal nature of the system.

I think the title bar issue is actually more of a window manager issue: I always use Alt+mouse movement[1] which has the added benefit that I don't have to move the pointer over to a special dragging area. I realize this is more of a Unix thing and not necessarily available on OSX.

Same goes for resizing in Awesome WM, which is well... awesome: WM key[2] + right mouse button + mouse move to resize. Written down it looks cumbersome, but it actually works really well.

In my opinion, there are only three times when patents are useful to startups:

1. There is a hard computer science (or other) problem at the very core of your product or service -- one that you have solved, that competitors have not, and that gives you an advantage. Further, the answer to this problem, once known, is easily replicable. The canonical example of this is Google/PageRank, and the closest non-software analogue is drug research. This is what software patents are designed to protect and they usually do an ok job of it.

2. You are growing into a large business and you have reached the point that you are attracting attention from patent trolls and other large, patent-holding entities. At this level, the quality of the patents usually doesn't matter nearly as much as the quantity. It becomes a "my stack is bigger than your stack" type of negotiation, and having a very large pile of manure is useful because people are forced to assume there is a pony or two in there. If you want to see an example of a company that has recently had this realization, look at Huawei and compare their total number of issued patents with their total number of patent applications.

3. You are inventing a completely new type of hardware device and you also file for patent on the software that interacts and enables it.

Thus, if you are a startup, then (IMO) it rarely pays to file for patents unless you a) expect to get really big, or b) want to sell out to a big company. This is a special case of #2. Otherwise, execution trumps IP. Startups are just not big enough to worry about (or be targets).

It also may pay if you are creating a completely new market - think RSA. This is just a special case of #1.
Please tell me that is a joke...

Why? Is the phrase "copyrighted"?
In economic terms what you're describing is called deflation.

During deflation prices keep falling, which causes consumers to post-pone their purchases (tomorrow they'll be able to get that TV at a lower price so there's no point in buying it today) and investors sit on the money since they'll be more valuable tomorrow.

This is the exact opposite of inflation, which causes people to convert 'today' money into goods since tomorrow they'll buy less with it; it also causes investors to put money to good use or in interest-bearing accounts since otherwise they lose the value).

Therefore some economists argue that deflation might be even more dangerous than inflation because it discourages consumption and tends to have down-spiralling effects. (see http://krugman.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/08/02/why-is-deflation... ).
Its not the only way to do it. Twitter doesn't do it that way, neither does LinkedIn. They have their own Search Engines as well build around Lucene. I haven't looked at them in a while, but I don't think they were commiting every document. They also get their content from their users.

Pernicious browser caching. (Just when will you update that edited favicon?)

Continuing assault on the address bar. (First they came for "http", then they came for me.)

Crappy session management, restoration. (Is there a clear leader in the extensions that add better support? I find myself much less able to rank Chrome extensions that Firefox extensions, based on community signals.)

EDIT: To be fair, a relative's 10 year old laptop still runs acceptably (sans video), due in good part to Chrome's dramatic performance improvements.

The caravan thing is not an option for me but the chess clock is pure genius. Sure, there are tons of timer apps for the desktop and the phone and pushing a button on a physical object is much better.

However, the clock that's shown in his photo is kind of expense ~$70+ on eBay + $10 shipping. The cheapest wooden clock I could find was from the Chess Store (http://www.amazon.com/TCS-Standard-Wood-Chess-Clock/dp/B003Z...) for $25 but it has no reviews.
