About two-way sync: it wouldn't make sense. Since NewsBlur hides stories below your intelligence threshold, many stories would be unread in Reader but simply hidden in NewsBlur. That, and the whole story sync problem would be a huge bear. It comes down to NewsBlur being its own reader. The import from Google Reader is the only time NewsBlur talks to Reader.

I'm thinking about further integration with Google using Google Contacts (for a Email Story feature), but that's about it.

I'd be curious to see confidence intervals and p values (or, heck, even just the number of samples that caused the given data point) for these graphs. "a bit jagged" and "pretty spotty" aren't very informative.
I just finished reading The Clean Coder and it puts into words what I always knew how to do instinctively I think.

I've never worked in the game industry where there may be strong political reasons to submit to such working conditions. I've rarely had to work over-time (mainly writing web applications and servers) and when I did it was usually of my own volition. The problem with doing is that you burn out a lot faster than you think. Being frustrated and unhappy can interfere with doing your job as a programmer. We're paid to think and good thinking can only happen when you have a clear, healthy state of mind.

If I've ever done "crunch time" against my will it's usually because some manager or sales person went above my head and made promises without clearing it with me. That's very unprofessional IMO. It's also unprofessional to avoid taking the initiative to righting that sort of wrong. It's like watching someone walk backwards into traffic and not doing anything to stop them. If you're part of the team, you're going to be hurting yourself too. (And I think it took me a few tries to realize this).

So I dunno... there are probably a lot of pressures in the game industry that help this nasty practice persist... but if it's not worth it, Pachter is right: move on. Life's too short and there's better work to be had.

Your event sounds like a great event and is likely to be interesting to HN readers. That's fantastic! Make a post and have it voted up. The issue I see is that your comment is completely unrelated to the post except for the fact that they both happen to be conferences. There is no comparison to the posted conference, likely, because it would be a difficult comparison. The two events have different topics, currency, culture, and locale. Your post is clearly intended solely to generate interest in your event.

I don't have the ability to downvote but, I would likely have done so with the opportunity. This story is sliding off the front page so, no need to delete it now.

I think Bing's problem from the start has been that it has been in a "Goliath versus Goliath" fight. No one is rooting for an old monopoly to beat a new, cooler monopoly. But an independent Bing, one which was agile enough to create its own fun, quirky and smart user experience, might get a lot interest.
Testing REST web services has never been easy. It requires a running web server, multiple threads, network conection and complex transaction management.

Ideally, REST web service client test should have the following characteristics:

The experience of testing web service API is similar to that of testing a ActiveRecord model
Start up and shut down the web server for the purpose of running REST web services
Rollback test data after each test
Control fixture creation for REST web services

In this article, I demonstrate solutions to each of those mentioned with ActiveResource and Distributed Ruby.

I generally advise against business models that are not sustainable. I use freshbooks but if the max you could make it 5000 * $5 = 25K that is likely not enough to justify the cost of keeping an app current over a short app life of 3-5 years.

If the app saves me an hour a month (or provides a similar time/value savings) I would consider paying more the $5. The $15 app is cheap for a niche app but I wasn't convinced I needed it.
In the United States, penalties for drunk driving vary by state. Wikipedia says that in California first-offense drunk driving is a misdemeanor crime, and one of the penalties can be a four-month driver license suspension. Since public transportation is inadequate in much of the country, many states offer an "occupational license" during a suspension that allows a person to drive to/from work. Likewise due to inadequate alternate transportation options, many drivers with suspended licenses violate the law and drive anyway; the penalties for this are often not very high.

PS: Guardrail is the correct word.
I really wish they hadn't backed down. Yes, it's Apple's store, they can do what they want, but I feel like they get away with ridiculous changes like this because, well, they're Apple.
As a cyclist, I think 99.99% of people drive a lot better than they are made out to. The 0.005% that meander onto the shoulder and swerve back into their lanes, narrowly avoiding you, are scary. The 0.005% that throw empty beer cans, honk as they drive by, swerve towards you intentionally, or otherwise try to run you off the road are the ones that really get me. I can think of three times when 50+MPH vehicles have been within 6 inches or less of me or my bike. If that doesn't count as endangerment, I don't know what does. Two of my friends have been hit (admittedly, both were in 25 MPH zones, survived with minimal injuries, and the drivers were in the first category).
I really think this looks amazing. It would likely function amazingly well, too.

However, for this to work, you have to eliminate the space for ads. To deal with this, Rutledge suggests "Quality news is subscription only. You pay for valuable information. Fluff you get for free."

I somehow don't think it's that simple.

If you slam the digital door shut (much more than it is now at the Times), and only allow subscriber access, you'll do two things:

(1) vastly reduce your readership; if you want to go back to showing ads, you can't, because you no longer can brag about the vast numbers reading your website daily
(2) create a hyper-focused pirating scheme around disseminating NYTimes content for free

I love news. I love good reporting. When I'm no longer a student, I'll pay to get the Times at home. BUT, we've got a serious problem here; this design, while well thought-out, fails to acknowledge that it can't exist (eliminating ads) without changing the industry (changing readership drastically).

I very much look forward to seeing this movie: http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/page_one_inside_the_new_york... which touches on these issues.

There's a few aspects to discuss here.

Firstly, in 2006 (5 years ago), x64 chips were Core2Duos clocked at about 2.2Ghz. This is top of the line, but even a mid-level processor would be something like 1.6Ghz. A PC would probably have about 2GB of RAM.

An iPad2 is a 1GHz, dual core device. Further, it is built for a mobile device, and thus will sacrifice performance for the sake of battery life, at the very least in subtle ways. It has 512MB of RAM. That's not quite equivalent, not yet. Certainly the next round of mobile hardware will be above and beyond the level of said desktops by a good margin.

Second, there is the performance profile characteristics I mentioned before. I don't know much of the details of ARM, but for example: you can only load a 12-bit immediate. Larger constants must be loaded into a constant pool. The iPad's L1 cache is significantly smaller than that of a desktop processor. Both have 16 general purpose registers, but spilling to the stack will take more of a hit on ARM.

Then there is code quality. Current codegen for ARM is not as good as x64--checking the tag and performing a conditional jump in Jaegermonkey currently produces 3 instructions where it could be done in 1 instruction. When an constant is loaded into the constant pool there is no check to see whether it was necessary to load it (was it already loaded in?) There was a lot of focus on code generation quality in x86-land which has only recently been shifting to ARM--I expect those pieces of the puzzle to be solved very quickly.

To address your other point, what information is indicative of Mozilla being "stretched too thin"?

Bing isn't different enough to gain mindshare, and it's search results can't compete with Google (or even Blekko's IMO).

You know what would be disruptive? A search engine for physical spaces. When I'm scouring my apartment for a matching sock or my keys, I'd do a search and the missing item would be located.

I don't know how, but someone should do this.

EDIT: No, I'm not high. Just weird.
I pre-ordered at Amazon quite awhile ago. Three days ago they changed the estimated arrival date from 10/5-8 to 9/7-12. If the book is actually being released tomorrow then hopefully Amazon will update the date again.. it would be sad if I had to wait six more weeks.
Dwolla now issuing cashbacks - reversing earlier policy
While in the short term, Android and iOS are having an impact, RIM's longterm fate is affected by Windows Phone 7 because that is the easiest Mobile OS upon which Enterprise can standardize comfortably - iOS is just too consumer centric [e.g. three year obsolescence] and has a history of sloppy security practices [e.g. lying to Exchange], and Android is somewhat fragmented due to diversity of device capabilities and does not give a high priority to integration with the Microsoft stack.

All the things RIM does well for enterprise, Windows Phone is likely to do better over the long term. And with Nokia getting set to leverage their existing reputation for quality on top of WP7, it is hard to see what RIM can bring to the table when it comes time to convince IT.

I probably would have moved out as well. Who knows what it's like to look for housing there though, let alone finding one that says they will install a lift for you. If that building/location was truly a spot worth waiting for, the person on the first floor should have just switched him apartments. I don't think I even would have though to ask if they would install a lift, does that kind of request usually get fulfilled here in the US?

I know everybody hates ads, but it only reinforces the "naive businessmen" stereotype of designers when people say stuff like this:

"Since news is accessed only via subscription, most of the ads can be eliminated from the pages."

That's like saying because you pay for magazines they also don't need to have ads. That's in no way at all how the content business works.
If only I could have a FireGestures-type interface connected with the Windows desktop environment. I would probably throw out my MacBook.
The iPhone example is funny because Apple themselves used the New York Times as the example in their "it's not the mobile Internet ... it's just the Internet" advertisement.

I think it's smart to take a short-term loss if they can grow their Windows Phone franchise. It is the default search engine on those phones and is tightly integrated into the OS. If the forecasts end up being correct (who knows?) then that will be quite a large part of the world searching through Bing and could drive long-term profitability.
I love Google Reader! For Android users, I highly recommend D7 Reader - https://sites.google.com/site/d7reader/

It's quite a bit better than the official app.

I actually find twitter names to be fairly annoying. I've never actually voiced that opinion though since the facebook sharing model seems useful and the twitter sharing model always seemed useless to me (the only actual use I have ever been aware of is that some publishers use it as a worse RSS feed). The <140 character messages from people I don't really know are a sizable portion of Facebook, and are always by far the worst part of it.

Pseudonym vs actual name is correlated to that spectrum but not a direct relationship. People's stupid names is definitely something that makes interactions on reddit, AIM, video games, twitter, etc feel really immature to me compared to Facebook.

Those look nice, but I still prefer Google News' two-column layout. I can't stand when news organizations try to force everything into a single Twitter-like stream (Google News included).
They've got 100 million. That's enough to do amazing things.

Honestly, for all the money Google has, Google+ isn't very impressive.

Interestingly, about half of that 100 million comes from Google to secure their spot as the homepage and default search.

Confusing criticism for sour grapes shuts down discussion of externalities like this. Ignoble words can argue for noble ends, but won't when people shoot the messenger.

Improving the rules of the game should make it easier for the meritocracy, if that is what you value then you should pay extra attention to those who look like they should be winning but aren't rather than the opposite.

Man, don't you just hate those oddball privacy laws?
The one thing I dislike (on the main page at least) is the separation of news and opinion/analysis. I can't think of many times where I've visited a news site and wanted to read only opinion or only news, but I can think of times where I've visited a site to read about a particular story - and read related articles that happen to be opinions/analysis.
Thank you for taking the time to explain that. I can see now why it wouldn't be simple.

This poses a problem for me, and possibly others though. I like to attempt to read almost all of what comes down my funnel. I have built a priority system already inside of google reader. I have folders basicaly 1 - 10, that ranks the importance of things. For example, I can usually read my folder 1 everyday, 100% of it. As I have time I will read through lower folders.

So, with this system I have done part of what newsblur does which is to help me seek the good stuff. This even works across clients. So I can use the google reader web UI, and Reeder.

I would love to be able to use the newsblur web UI in place of the google reader API, but without the sync it wouldn't fit into my system.

I know that my system may not be something you want to cater to, but hopefully you can understand how for some people google reader sync is very important.

If you look at Android phones from 2007 (to me the one in the link looks very similar to a Blackberry) and if you look at them now you cannot miss how much they have changed to look like the iPhone.

You can't even tell it's the same OS.

So when you copy you are sued. (If the copying/taking inspiration was reasonable or not is a different issue.) Samsung was sued to copy "look and feel".

Btw it's illegal to make an employee pay the USCIS H-1B visa fees (USCIS website clearly mentions that the visa fees strictly has to be borne by the employer). I'm surprised that small company made you pay the visa fees. Now if they made you pay only the legal fees for the immigration attorney, that might still be legal.
The final result looks nice, but I hate these exercises, because if you are not fitting the same number of ads in the page, then you are not actually solving the same problem. You are solving a much easier problem, as almost all sites look better without ads.

Also, there's a major divide between what people seem to think looks nice and what seems to succeed. The Huffington Post is the biggest example of recent success in the news realm. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/

Is that despite of its design or because of it? I don't know. It's hard to separate out the effect of the editorial content from presentation.
It would be additive -- I'm sure any sale would include a multiyear agreement for Microsoft to leave it as the default search engine in IE. Otherwise what value Bing has today would largely evaporate.

That isn't to say that the article isn't complete crap. Bing was developed as a strategic asset. MSFT certainly isn't hurting for cash flow. They have no compelling motivation to part with it any time soon.
I suspect most decent-sized organizations would have a fit over this. Almost every company I do work for has a fairly uniform IT setup. Most places have a standard policy:

- You can't install software of any kind on your system (unless it's pushed out through whatever group policy they enable).

- USB ports are disabled (either physically in the case of government clients, or just by disabling mass storage drivers through group policy), and optical drives are read-only.

- Non work-issued systems aren't allowed on the network, and may not even be allowed in the building.

- Most importantly, you can't perform work from a non-work provided machine. In extreme cases, this includes things like email, but it almost always includes having company information on a machine that isn't your IT-issued one.

Most of these policies are created around the idea of limiting exposure of company-sensitive data (you can insert a joke about going through all this effort while exposing all your company data through an insecure web application).

Now, there are I'm sure, lots of smaller companies who don't enforce policies like that (I work for a really large company that has especially draconian IT policies, and most of my clients are rather large as well).

Even in the scenario where it wasn't explicitly forbidden, I'd be really hesitant about buying hardware for use in my job if for no other reason than it'd make for a potentially awkward situation if I left ("Sure, here's my laptop, but first you have to let me take out this hard drive that I've been using, as I bought it myself.")
For starters, as evidenced by this post, your thought processes are confusing. You might want to try and bring some focus and clarity to your tasks.

In the beginning, it would be surprising if you already had so much data that it is the amount of data that is causing the performance issues instead of your code or db decision.

For what you are doing, I would give a slight edge to Mongo.
Funny, that's exactly what I do. Eclipse for building and debugging; Vim for coding. It's a pretty happy combination especially considering that the switch between perspectives is, for me, much more disorienting than the switching between two applications [I feel lame saying this, but the perspective change is really disorienting for me...].
