Well, I for one don't understand REST. In particular, how to implement it in current HTML with current browsers.

There's all this nice, theoretical stuff about URI design, HTTP verbs and stuff. So I went to actually implement this the other day, only to find that you can't actually do it properly without hacks, because HTML and browsers only support the GET and POST methods for FORMs. WTF?

Can you actually implement a set of CRUD pages for an entity without resorting to hacks like hidden _method fields?

Surely REST is intended to be used for more than AJAXy APIs?
Please consider this library as an invitation for web devs to dive into html-based multimedia. Its main goal is to highlight the ability to do such things.

If you email me (my username at chromium.org) with the bug link, I can make sure that it gets cc'ed to the correct people.

We would also probably want a net-internals dump: restart Chrome, open chrome://net-internals in a tab and leave it open while reproducing the error. Then switch back to the net-internals tab and dump the log to a file and attach to the bug.
Work for my project or join a company?
I want to know that what was your age when you first started earning from this field?

I have been working with Php/MySql/WordPress for a while now, may be like a year. I am an student, so I don't have alot of time, but I have enough free time to do a job too. Do you guys think I should join a company which offers me some money for what I do for them, or should I keep on working on my own as freelancer?
Yeah - that's pretty much it. Except that being lazy I'd have probably not bothered casting the keys and values to Strings and just called toString() on them directly....

It is form over function, it is arguably less readable like this. While I can tell what each part means it takes me longer due to the non standard design.

That said, in form it is highly accomplished. Very shiny.
Hacking Housing: A Low Impact Woodland Home (not for everyone)
You don't need to have lost something to be deprived. You can be deprived of chances that others have.
I'm in Colombia this week to give a talk, and I was asking people about their phones. Turns out that if you've got lots of money to spend on your phone, you get an iPhone, if you've got some money, you get an android, and if you're poor or working class you get a blackberry.

It's fascinating that blackberry has moved from the phone of business, to the phone of the poor and youth.
That source (a blog post by Ilya Grigorik) is not only more informative, but a significant portion of this article seems to have been plagarized from it. While this AlertFox article does link to Grigorik's post, it copies significant parts without proper attribution. The second paragraph even replicates one of Grigorik's article headings, "SPDY in the wild".

The real problem isn't the browser. It's the screen. Large horizontal 16:9 screens are great for video but poor for text and pages.

In similar iOS style, screens should be rotatable and shift their content accordingly.

Watching a video? Great, put the screen to horizontal. Browsing the web? Writing a letter? Coding? Put the screen to vertical.

If you want large amounts of resources in Minecraft, you'll have to mine in a smart and boring fashion (called resource mining) near the bedrock. Mine in a consistent pattern (in three dimensions!) trying to minimize the amount of rock to mine w.r.t. the blocks you reveal.

Mining for resources is quite a boring grind and I don't like to do it a whole lot. Thankfully you don't have to do a whole lot of it to survive if you don't do crazy builds with a lot of iron (like minecarts).

While I agree, there's 2 things happening in Silicon Valley:

1) People are making money, investing money, and generally concerned with money.

2) People are making things, developing things, thinking about things, and generally adding new things to the world.

For #1, I totally agree that the rolemodels are bad.

But for #2, there is no 'right' way to invent something. It takes on many different forms, and works differently for everyone. They aren't so much role models as they are inspiration. And we can all use a little more inspiration.

Is A/B testing a greedy algorithm?

I don't know much about A/B testing, nor have I done any. My first thought is: how do you avoid getting stuck on local maxima?

(The wikipedia article on A/B testing mentions A/B..Z testing and 'multivariant testing', which may be an answer to my question, but they don't seem to get much mention.)
You certainly don't lose the copyright, but you may lose the ability to sue in situations similar to the one you ignored - because by not suing you gave implied consent to what was going on (at least in the US and I think Britain).

EDIT: But IANAL, and on reflection I'm not sure I'm not confusing copyright and trademark here.
Well the first thing that triggered my wondering was that it's different. The second was that I read SPDY holds connections open. And the third was that I couldn't find anyone benchmarking different types of internet connections with it, just a generic '64% faster!' which hardly ever holds true regardless of connection type.

So my general skepticism kicked in and now I want to know.

Edit: To their credit, they said '64% reduction in page load time', which is a lot more quantifiable than '64% faster'.
The Road to Entrepreneurship – An Interview with Dan Shipper
I like this very much. Safari 5.x suddenly feels aged compared to those screenshots. It also goes a long way showing how the iOS tabbed Safari is awful on the iPad.

In Firefox realm there has been Tree Style Tab, which I personally loathe, but for a take strikingly similar to the article description, there's apparently Vertical Tabs[0] available.

Prioritize school, especially since you are freelancing and not doing a startup.

People generally choose freelance work over employment because it means (1) more freedom, empowerment and power over their work and life (2) more money. If you get a job that offers you equal or acceptable levels of (1) and (2), go for the job. If you get the same amount of money, you need to decide how importance (1) is for you. If you by any chance happen to get the amount of (1) but less money, you need to think about how passionate you are about your work and how less money will affect your daily life.

Now, maybe you're really ambitious and still want some of the benefits of employment. If that's the case, get the job but make it clear that you will continue to do freelance work on the side, maybe during nights and weekends. The nice thing about this is that you keep building your portfolio, incredibly important for freelancers, and can pick projects and technology stacks that interests you.
> Lots of college courses, especially of the Java school variety simply do not cover anything remotely near low level code.

That's probably true for CS courses, but a lot of courses in my computer engineering undergrad years touched low-level stuff. The most relevant are the real-time systems, microprocessor architecture, and configurable processors courses. We had to unroll loops, reorder instructions according to data dependencies, and otherwise optimize assembly routines on paper during exams (based on a description of the architecture and the number of cycles for each instruction). Having learned that it's rather easy to pick up a book on whatever processor interests you and start writing.
I love it. You spark an (imho) much more interesting debate: that of raw smartness vs pragmatic productivity.

A colleague of mine (now hired) was asked to code a string compare during her interview for a .NET function. She said "String.Compare()". This puzzled the interviewers for a while. They asked her whether she could write it out, she said she didn't see the point.

They ended up hiring her for other reasons (notably, references from trusted colleagues who had worked with her), but I still wonder whether that attitude worked for her or against her.
Which are what exactly?

Unless I'm mistaken the people of Tottenham get free educations to the age of 18 same as everyone else in the UK. They also have as good a public transport infrastructure as anywhere else and can work anywhere in London.
I think you may be taking this a little too seriously and I'm also considering you're being sarcastic though I'm not sure.

As far as I'm aware no one is making great claims of this being some UX masterpiece or it's purpose of being functional and from a cursory look it seems as if the purpose was for 'neat-o' or even 'pretty' factor. Also, have you considered it's intended audience? Not everything created has it's intended audience as, well, everyone. Myself and I imagine most people on HN understand it fine and actually enjoy it being presented that way (Therefore it does have function) as opposed to the standard way we've seen it for who knows how many years.

So, your prayer looks like it was answered before you even uttered it though going by www.phurix.net . . .
Heh, no, that demographic gets BlackBerrys because rappers like Jay-Z rap about them, they are an accessory, the same demographic buys Rolexes while people who actually have money to spend on a watch get a Patek Phillippe.
I don't agree with the author's premise that founding service companies are somehow anymore noble than building a product companies or whatever else. A dollar from a local business is as good as a dollar from an advertiser.

The image of the Silicon Valley douchebag doesn't seem to ring true. My friends who've met Mark have nothing but good things to say about him.

I've had the fortune of meeting some fellow college students who have passed through YC and fit the mold of "young hotshot." Rather than arrogant and brash divas, they've all struck me as thoughtful and responsible adults. They were mature beyond their years. Their respective businesses are well on the way to success.

To each his own.
PVS-Studio vs Clang
Well that's what we're trying to find the answer to: what's different about this group of people?
PHP: if (realpath($argv[0]) == __FILE__) main();

(Presuming you've gone and defined the main() function somewhere. No module conventions like with Python here.)
So what's the mindset called where any behaviour, no matter how egoistical and anti-social, is excused and blamed on something else (often a government entity is implied)? And when can we drop that?

I'm not saying that being jobless in this economy and being politically disenfranchised is exactly a recipe for success, but where do we draw the line between criminal behaviour and legitimate grievances. There are a lot of people with undesirable job situations who feel politically disenfranchised, but who somehow manage to live inside the law. I wonder what will happen to their feeling of disenfranchisement if looters are given a pass?
As a designer I only speak for myself because I know my view is quite different from other designers.

Imagine this scenario: you bring four aliens to a table, you give them a deck of cards, and you explain the mechanics of poker (but not the actual rules). You get them to play, remain silent throughout the game, and at the end you announce the winner.

On the first game, an alien wins with a pair of sevens. So the aliens think "hey, it's the sevens that have value!", and pretty soon the aliens are fighting over the sevens, and they call it the game of sevens.

A|B testing gives you a tiny glimpse of a wicked system that happens to work under certain circumstances. I love A|B testing, but I know you can't make all encompassing announcements that state that buttons should always be beveled (as Jakob Nielsen says) because it depends on the specific circumstances of the design. Just look at gmail's new design, I'm sure it's pretty well tested and there's no trace of beveled buttons.

I remember an interesting piece you wrote on changing the logo for Bingo Card Creator, and you announced that logos are worth nothing. But then comes GAP with their horrendous logo and the internet goes batshit over it.

I think we are in the alchemy ages of design, and there is a lot of resistance in adopting scientific methods for validating our work. But we must understand that every test is a tiny glimpse of the overall rules of the game. Every little piece of evidence is precious in understanding the whole system.
This was actually going to be my solution as well. Regex engines are optimised for exactly this sort of problem, why duplicate the work manually?
Oracle, other companies hacked by Social Engineering attack in #DefCon 19
There's something to be said for NOT reinventing the wheel. Standard libraries are standard for a reason - the "String.Compare()" function is likely faster for just about every case, in addition to being already there.
Pixel precision means that we can send a standard PSD to a client and they can style it and send it back so that we can slice it up and deliver the finished app.

This is meaningless when you have variable screen sizes to deal with (or at least a large enough number of fixed screen sizes to make this impractical). You can get away with essentially making a UI out of images on iOS, but not on Android.

Android's layout containers are far more flexible than iOS's springs and struts system. I've found this to be true of MacOS desktop programming as well, in the face of something like Gtk or Qt. Maybe my brain is just wired to prefer fluid, auto-adjusting layouts, but I find the Apple way of UI layout to be very primitive and limiting.

Rome had to avoid rioting because Rome didn't have tear gas.

China does not have to avoid rioting. They are comfortable with using tanks to kill thousands of unarmed protestors.

The circumstances have changed since Rome. Technology has changed them.
Hi... me here: At no point it was my intention to claim ownership of this discovery. I simply wanted to share it with our users. I thought (and still think) quoting the author in the first line of the article makes the original source very clear: "I was googling for some Google Chrome documentation today, and discovered a fascinating post by Ilya Grigorik: ". Will now set the Ilya's text in cursive to make it 100% clear.
Hey, maybe some even have FDD?
Additionally, the premise of the article is despicable : the solution to social problems is not to take communication away from the protestors.

It has now become publicly agreed that censorship of channels is allowable if they're suspected to be used for riots.

TALKING is the main source of riots ... Poverty and hopelessness.

Let's see what we can do about those first, no ?

Mechanical turks, AI now grading student essays
That's my point. At work, I'd prefer someone using String.Compare() over some nasty hand-crafted for-loop with switches and things for all kinds of collation issues. Why would I ask something else during the interview?

I love the GGP's solution for the same reason. If the regex is compiled only once, it may be only marginally slower (if at all), and it significantly improves readability and maintainability, and tremendously reduces the chances for bugs.

I'd hire the him. I have the impression most Google-interviewers (and similar dudes/dudettes) wouldn't. I wonder why.
And I told you. They've been given so much they can't now see why they can't just take anything they want.

Seriously, you don't fight for freedom/education/"a chance" by nicking a 50" plasma TV. And doing so is an insult to people like, for example, the Libyans and Egyptians who really did - and do - fight for something worthwhile.
Data Visualization: Journalism's Voyage West

It really shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone that money can be made on just about anything. It's what makes the world go 'round, after all.

My anecdote: I had a girlfriend that I met while playing a MUD. I wasn't earning enough money to cover my own rent and food, and I let her move in with me to get her out of a bad situation. Long story short, she didn't (couldn't?) get a job, I couldn't afford to support us both, and I soon told her she had to leave. She managed to earn enough money from selling MUD items to buy her bus tickets and leave.

(I sound like a heartless SOB above because I am. I still can't figure out how I could have made it work, and I still feel bad for doing what I did. So no need to tell me how heartless I am. I get it.)
The article actually includes a solution that uses memoization, which is equivalent to DP.
I'm pretty sure that the number of patents you could get revoked with $2.5 billion in legal effort is much smaller than the total number of potentially problematic patents. Unfortunatly fighting bad patents is a classic public good [1] which means its hard to coordinate people on making them.

If your feeling altruistic, however, the EFF is working to help get some particularly egregious examples revoked. [2] I've donated to them and I encourage others to do the same.

The new site looks great, gorgeous but I think you should do an A/B test, I wouldn't be surprise if you find out, the old site convert better than the new one, I'm almost sure the old sure convert by far better than the new one, so the question will be: Are you trying to get a nice looking site or get new users? The new site has too much distraction: Don't make me think! Don't make me ask myself what all those nice looking icons are for! Credit to the designer for the creativity/talent but, I'll really do an A/B test here to find out if it's really an improvement.
