One slightly un-orthodox solution to that problem is to find a (porn) site that has what you want, get a 1-year subscription, and consciously force yourself to feed your habit exclusively from that one site and never look at any of the other sites again. (This will be easier than it sounds at first, because you have a bowl of paid-for, high-quality content right in front of you).

Most of the addiction behaviour comes from the inconsistent reward schedule that you get when searching for content and sometimes finding some and sometimes not. If you switch this over to a behaviour where, if you feel like it, you look at some content for an hour and then be done with it, you will find that this is not any more addicting than TV or a netflix subscription.

Note that from a cultural/moral standpoint, you may prefer either of the solutions (including getting a filtered DNS connection) - it's really multiple ways to reach the preferred goal (i.e. getting rid of the addiction behaviour) and a matter of taste which one you like best.

An alternative would be to write a proxy that (i) bans all video content outside a handful of whitelisted domains, and (ii) transforms all images outside a handful of whitelisted domains to grayscale.

This will be minimally disruptive to your web browsing experience when it comes to news etc. (since news is just as good when it has only grayscale images) while it should strongly limit the appeal of any primarily visual content.
When choosing to work with anyone you should look for skills which complement your own / your current teams. Generally when looking to recruit a designer, it would be their design skills your after; not their legal advice or ability to write in marketing jargon. Look for people whose designs you like, preferably who have produced something similar to the look you're after before. Find someone you can build a relationship with, where they can talk you through their subject in your language. If you're a small business with no technical skills, your "web designer" should be someone who describes the whole process of getting a site on-line up front, and who offers ways for you to maintain that site yourself, without having to pay them each time you want a few lines of text added. If you're a larger business, or a developer who lacks graphics skills, you'll probably be focussed on just the design side, and will want someone who uses technologies compatible with what's in your toolkit, people who have experience working alongside programmers, and perhaps those who understand how to optimise their designs for performance.
Everyone's requirements are different, so the designer they're after will also be different. Look at what these designers have done before, and look at their customers' feedback, and pay particular attention to those customers who seem to be the most similar to yourself.
Google+ now verifying accounts.
A look at the section titles of the document reveals that a lot of effort has been made to put the advice in positive (do this) instead of negative (don't do that!), even if the document itself is clearly a catalog of donts. So it ends up sounding as if asking questions were a terribly complex endeavor, when in fact it just requires common sense and politeness.

Problem is that if you're prone to commit those faux-pas, you're not going to read this document before hand anyway. Its purpose seems to be to direct offenders to it to make them aware of their faults.

Okay, they're geeks, but what've they done to deserve that much snark?
I don't want to start (continue?) another static-vs-dynamic-typing war, but I feel like I need to add my 2 cents.

For me the biggest pragmatic gain from using static typing is that your programs contain less bugs right from the start -- simply because many types of errors are detected by the compiler based on type information. Just to clarify, I'm talking real strong, static typing like in Ocaml, Haskell and the likes and not Java-style typing, which is not very powerful and imposes the cost of adding type information on the developer, whereas in the aforementioned languages the type inference pretty much does away with this problem.

This having said, I'd suggest taking a look at the new programming language: Opa (http://opalang.org). It complies with most of the requests of the author of the article. It's compiled (#2) and statically typed (#1). It allows easy interfacing with JS, C and Ocaml (#3). First class XML elements: yup (#4); case sensitivity: check (#7) and JS is automatically generated from Opa sources (#8). I happen to be writing a blog about Opa (http://blog.opalang.org) and would be very interested to hear what you think about it.
Well, if you choose to go with jruby I suppose you'll face some compatibility problems related to libraries. Moreover it's not so widely used as the "standart" ruby. That's why I don't recommend it.

My recommendation is to go with passenger + enterprise-ruby for your servers. I think this is the most stable/tested stack and it is the easiest to setup. Then you can use both ApacheHTTPD or Nginx for http-server. Both work very nice along with passenger. So use the one you fill more comfortable with.
namespaces in combination with how syntax-quote (`) autoqualifies symbols and let disallowing qualified identifiers makes it noticeably more difficult to introduce a name clash.

for example the following macro results in an error when you try to run the expanded code:
(defmacro ex [x] `(let [y 1] (~x y)))

because it expands to (let [namespace/y 1] ...) which is disallowed. When you need to, there is a way to force an unqualified symbol by explicitly quoting and unquoting a symbol, and ` provides autogensyms, so it is very convenient to use.

Namespace-qualifying also means that post-expansion changes to your local namespace won't change the meaning of symbols that referred to things in an external namespace when the macro was expanded.
Slide 6: "[Disk] throughput: 768 MB/sec on SATA 3" is misleading, consumer-grade rotating disks barely fill SATA 1 with ~70 MB/sec. SSD are faster in raw transfer, and if you have a RAID you are not limited by a single SATA channel any more.

Slide 13: "Laugh at MongoDB" is pretty stupid, mongo makes certain trade-offs that are not for everyone, but they are still meaningful.

The presentation doesn't explore the RAID options, which is a shame.
Like where? In cursive, at best what changes is that some ending curse goes up or down a bit more. The existence of cursive computer fonts shows that even in cursive writing, the shape of letters can be the same across a text. Minor changes are caused by the speed of writing the cursive.

On the contrary, and as I understand it, in Arabic there are rules on how to change the shape of letters in certain contexts. In Arabic it's part of the writing system, in Western European languages it's not.
I don't know anything about US three-letter agencies' hiring practices, but wouldn't living in e.g. China for 6 to 12 months make it harder to get hired there? Wouldn't attending a 'regular' school make you look more hire-worthy, even if you know less of the language?

(similar to how people with papers from a degree mill be looked upon more favorably by certain companies than those who learned programming on their own)

Somehow, I still don't get Google's logic behind it. Too often I get thrown back to google.nl from .com. When I am certain that I need an American/English/Int result, I want to use google.com immediately, not .nl, but it takes me two or three times correcting the url before I get where I want to go.

My solution for this is !g in duckduckgo: This brings me to the international Google.com, no matter what locales in the browser, what computer and what google-account is active. For local searches I just type in google.com and somehow 90% of the time end up with the .nl version. Works for me.

No.

But it helps if people show interest. It is one of the many directional metric that you can use to gauge to understand what of your 10 ideas you have every week should you invest more time in.

And no, it does not mean you have a sign up page for 10 of them. :) Highly recommend Eric Ries' Lean Startup Video/Book.
Bookmarked for later, thanks. But seems like an awful lot of trouble just to get asking right lol. From the comments seems like mixed feelings about this one.
>If we could build a robust fully-reusable space plane that can go Mach 15, and we could also find a way to rendezvous it with a rotating tether, we could free ourselves from the nastiness of the rocket equation and achieve inexpensive space access.

If we could build a robust fully-reusable space plane that can go Mach 15 free from the nastiness of the rocket equation then we already practically achieved inexpensive space access :). If you look at the rocket equation - it is the first 15 Mach that require to burn almost all this mass of fuel through all these big engines pumped from all these big tanks. Once you're going 15 Mach - to get to the 30 Mach for the payload of N kg, you'd need to burn only ~N kg of LH2+LOX (4.5km/s nozzle speed) - so not much gain would come by replacing rocket propulsion with anything else on the second half of the acceleration. The first half is the problem.
No, it was not a Low German dialect. It was what is called an Ingvaeonic dialect, most closely related to Old Saxon and Old Frisian. Old High German is what is sometimes called Istvaeonic (and the Franconian dialects that were to become Dutch is also part of that group). There is a bunch of important differences between Ingvaeonic and Istvaeonic, and both are quite, quite different from North Germanic.
Sure, but with Clojure you still have to use Maven, package imports and so on. Maybe I am just too highly allergic against Java now, it's a personal thing. As soon as you want to use one of the Java libraries, your code starts getting ugly.

Also there seem to be non-JVM environments that come with a sufficient amount of libraries (Python?). I suppose most of them simply interface with C libraries.
no, it really is a terrible analogy :)

the menu contains almost every word in almost every language that's online (plus many misspellings and made up words and lists of meaningless character permutations and...), so if you are going to automatically correct a query, some set of words that are on the menu are going to have to be excluded.

On the other hand, if we accept that this case was suboptimal, the solution seems to be one of:

1) never autocorrect, only offer a "did you mean." I would bet this would result in more people having to click than the current situation (in spite of the annoyances reported in this thread).

2) be more conservative with corrections and offer a "did you mean" more often. 500,000 results for "uncollege" and the fact that correcting it to "college" repeats a word in the query string is a good argument for this particular case, at least. On the other hand, testing for "[some random word] and uncollege" never seems to correct for uncollege unless the other word is education related, which is interesting. While the autocorrect isn't smart enough to notice that it's correcting to a repeated word, it is doing some kind of clustering and deciding you probably meant college in this case.

While the author suggests some points about creating value that at face are silly to disagree with, I would warn away readers and suggest that as a whole, this post contains some very bad advice. It's a "the enemy of your enemy is not necessarily your friend" scenario; he's not wrong, but he's also totally full of shit.

Look at a site like Vimeo and tell me that beauty and passion aren't critical aspects of this design. Then head on over to AirBnB or Kickstarter or Etsy and tell me that they didn't put a huge amount of design thinking into making a clean, modern site that makes the visitor feel like they are making a difference by participating in a consumer revolution.

Good design extends far beyond logos and colour swatches. To have good design means that you've thought through every interaction path so that you can manipulate how your visitor feels when they use your site or product. You need to connect with their limbic brains first, and only then are you in the best position to really understand how to maximize their ROI.

TL:DR; this is bad advice. Don't hire a designer that only cares about “business objectives”, “return on investment (ROI)”, “your revenue goals”, “lead generation”, “increase sales" because chances are they are also busy with real estate and network marketing. The author knows who not to hire, not who to hire.
Ways to Use Wii Replacement Parts for Drum to Entertain Your Child

The people who most need to read this document will never read it.
Assumption #1: he has an internet connection of his own, using the typical cable/dsl modem => home router => his computer(s) setup.

Assumption #2: there is porn that is not to his taste and he really would prefer not to see.

Fun solution: convince him to give you unsupervised access to his computer and network so you can (you tell him) install filtering software. Tell him you want unsupervised access so that he won't see exactly what you install, so it will be harder for him to disable it.

You then in fact install filtering software on his computer. No doubt he'll find this and easily bypass it. That's OK, because during your unsupervised access you ALSO install custom firmware on his router.

This custom firmware looks for porn, but does not block it. Instead, it randomly replaces a small fraction of the images with images of porn your friend finds disgusting. For instance, if his interest is straight porn with no kinks, get images from some fetish site that features naked fat men defecting on masturbating barely legal boys, or something worse. Go wild here.

This should greatly reduce his interest in porn sites (or greatly broaden his tastes...so I guess there is some risk!).
Am I interpreting you correctly when I think that you're saying that Chinese isn't hard to learn? What's your native tongue? In my experience, and I found that interesting, Chinese seem to really derive pride out of stating that Chinese is such a hard language that us white people shouldn't even try.

This reply is a bit late but...

You're not supposed to do work on the same feature after a merge. I'm not advocating pulling master (or whatever the base branch is) often and merging whenever, so that you end up with loads of pointless merges. Once your feature is done, you merge once. This makes point 3 pretty much moot, since bisect handles merges just fine.

Sometimes you need to update your code on top of a new base because of some important bugfix or something, and then it's fine to rebase, but I don't think it should be the default.

I'll accept point 2, though I think git's merging is good enough that it's not noticeable in most cases. If you rebase you also lose information about the conflicts which may be undesirable. Someone might want to review your merge to see if you have solved the conflicts correctly.
So you don’t miss it, http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2911794
Varnish / Frontline server sends static media to nginx, and other request to uwsgi cluster.
Nginx / static media servign
UWSGI / app servers
Django / Web Framework
PGSQL / Relational Database
Redis / NoSQL / cache / sessions
*RabbitMQ / messaging queue

we use varnosh as a frontend server it handles the load balancing betwen our UWSGI servers, and if the request is a static file its send to our nginx server. we them use redis to store all of our cache and sessions, we cache everything so everytime there is a read from our database via the django ORM our api grabs the whole object returned and stores it in redis so next time we need to retrieve it we just hit redis.
Within my friend group there are quite a few that have not yet moved to Google+, but many of them have (most tech guys). I have actually found that engagement and interaction on Google+ is way better than on Twitter or Facebook. Discussions come easier, there is in general a lot more activity and there is always something interesting going on.

Looking at my Facebook vs Google+ posts my Google+ posts already have an average reply count that is two times that of my Facebook average.

The hangout feature is also absolutely fantastic. It really does feel like I am hanging out with friends, it has brought me closer together with various friends that I hadn't seen in a while and allowed me to reconnect with people in a more useful way.

Skype, Facetime, and iChat's video messaging just don't come close in terms of ease of use and how many people you can have in a single hangout. Google+ also makes it simple to create very long, long-form entries, something I absolutely love.

Tennant's point about the use of these words, "branding”, “beautiful”, “passion”, “making a difference”, “modern”, “clean”, is totally valid. These are qualities that web designers either want to achieve on a professional level or have seen mentioned most design blogs and rockstar designer portfolios.

These are qualities that any web designer worth their salt will have demonstrated in their portfolio. They will show, not tell, how good they are.

As for the rest of the article, I think it demonstrates the author's skill more as an online marketer rather than a graphic designer. He did get to the front page of HN after all.
