I would bet the Bingo Card Creator website accomplishes these goals just fine for his core audience of middle-aged schoolteachers.

Also, that site has not gotten a lot of attention for a while. His focus nowadays is on the much more attractive Appointment Reminder.

> A well-made dial is almost always faster and more precise than up-down digital controls.

Eight years ago I bought a microwave oven for my apartment that had a digital knob. It's a physical knob hooked to the timer, but since it's digital, it accelerates. Below one minute, each "notch" increases the time with 5 seconds, but as you go higher, each notch adds more and more time to the total until it starts adding 5 minutes per notch.

It's a fantastic input method for setting a timer since it's tactile - you feel each notch where the time changes, it's deterministic - 30 seconds is always a quarter of a turn, 2 minutes is always a bit more than one turn, 7 minutes is always a bit more than two turns, etc, and it's superior to an analogue timer - it accelerates, you get more precision in the lower ranges and less precision in the higher ranges.

A few years ago I moved and had to buy a new microwave. Except I couldn't find one with a digital dial, all manufacturers had switched back to the shitty input method of +/- buttons again because.. I don't know. Fashion?

It makes me furious when people and companies make interfaces that are clearly inferior existing alternatives for no good reason at all. But most consumers don't care, and here we are. :-/

Tamarin ain't bad, but for me the main advantage of Flash right now is the relatively fast, browser-independent and (unfortunately) closed-source rendering engine.
Hmm,

I seems like the post is saying "The Social Graph" isn't a graph 'cause it is a multi-graph with different kinds of connections. That part seems obvious.

But the "it's not social part" is more saying "it's not something to publicly mess with", ie, take the question of signaling interest seriously. That's true but the thing remains a social graph.

I would put it another way. The social graph exists, touching it can be dynamite, yes, can breach some boundaries, yes, publishing a connect is further social act, yet. But technology is about breaching boundaries. Facebook doesn't allow the touchy, fine-grained quality of real world friendships - and there are advantages to this. It has created a lot of connections which wouldn't exist before it. Sure, further refinements may make things more nuanced as in the real world. But the crude, glad-handing Internet world is now also the real social world and won't be going away. There are ways that this is quite good.

> I'm not offended at the presence of the F-bomb, I'm offended that someone with his talent takes the easy way out.

I think the conversation would be more productive if we considered the language used when people respond to those who use profanity. Typically we're talking about being "offended" or "taken aback" (Scott Hanselman's post). From my trusty Apple dictionary I find that offense means "annoyance or resentment brought about by a perceived insult to or disregard for oneself or one's standards or principles".

So essentially this is a whole argument about annoyance caused by a choice of language. When it's said "I'm offended that someone with his talent takes the easy way out." it's further revealed that the annoyance is not coming from any high moral ground but is purely stylistic. All the talk about "do(ing) better" or cursing being a "crutch" is a red herring.

Further, this offense is caused by "disregard for oneself or one's standards or principles". It's rather arrogant to think that anyone should have any regard for your standards standards or principles at all. It's time to grow up and realize that getting upset by the particular style of another's words is a waste of your time and attention.
Privacy or Public property
On C++ the tests I did two years ago showed that introsort was still the best "all around" algorithm for "uniformly distributed data". I also tested an algorithm called Smoothsort that was supposed to work better for "almost sorted data" but in practice it was slower. Timsort might be a good candidate, although I wonder if the gain will translate to the C++ world.

What was surprising is that in hinting the compiler through template hacking I was able to squeeze a little more speed out of introsort (If you're interested: https://github.com/flexsortea/flex_sort).
Thanks for the heads up. I'll sort that out now :)
Hackers can exploit Vulnerability in ICS and open the Prison door
At Techcrunch when we removed the share buttons average traffic to each post dropped 20-25%. We saw no jump in number of blog links, or tumblr's, or anything else.

The buttons suck - we knew that a lot of users hated them (it adds 4 * 20 additional HTTP requests to the main page), but they were worth too much traffic to do away with. Social network referrals likely surpass search engine referrals for a lot of blogs and web sites. They have steadily become an important web traffic navigator.

If somebody can figure out how to make those share buttons prettier and more efficient there is probably a product in that. I would guess that most blogs would love to drop the grid of share buttons that can be found on every post.

Otherwise I totally agree with not going for subdomains. We setup each property on a separate domain and initially had some on subdomains. The subdomains didn't rank at all and didn't help our PR or SEO. As soon as we switched each property to a separate domain our search referrals rocketed. For eg. you can now find a crunchbase link within the first 5 results for the name of a startup, while similar records for posts that lived on subdomains wouldn't rank at all. We had around a dozen different domains and frequently linked between them (for eg. each post would have multiple crunchbase links), and it worked really well for search ranking (search engines are ~40% of crunchbase traffic, IIRC) It shouldn't be like that, but it is.

Job Analysis

> Google and Bing are pretty good at automatically canonicalizing these, but not perfect

I have been meaning to blog this - this leads to cloaking exploits. For eg. Google will figure out the shorter canonical link for a domain. So if you have www.lakers.com redirect to lakers.nba.com Google will treat 'lakers.com' as the canonical link and rewrite all the search results.

This can be exploited by registering a shorter domain and then pointing it to the real site, then waiting for Google to redirect it. For eg. Fred Wilson noticed that the guy who owns avc.com was redirecting to his blog. He thought the guy was being a good samaritan, until I pointed out that it was a cloak attack and he was trying to jack all of avc.blogs.com's Google juice.

You can avoid this by not letting Google or Bing setting the canonical and by specifying it with a rel='canonical' link or using Webmaster Tools. Do you know anything else about this Rand or have you seen it in the wild?
FXCC Blog Updated: Daily Market Round Up - November 9 am
Good tips, some quibbles and additional points.

I'm a very regular sleeper and have been for about a decade (I'm now 41). Fixing sleeping routines I think is the most important part of that; getting a decent bedroom has also been important. Three most important things: no light, no noise, and good air. Move away from a noisy street; heavy blackout curtains over an open window will help with the rest. Blackout curtains seem to be less common in the States than in Europe: do track them down if you haven't got them.

Caffeine: I'm quite happy drinking tea as my bedtime drink. Coffe, though, keeps me awake. I have no idea why, since the caffeine levels are about the same. I try to minimise my coffee consumption over the week.

Artificial lighting is a good point, artificial heating and air circulation I also find to be bad for your body's self-regulation. Up to a point, I think these things matter more than diet. I like to work in a cold office with warm clothes.

Polyphasic sleep: It's interesting, but I think that Dustin Curtis only find it works better than normal sleep because he is unable to establish a routine that works for him. otherwise.

Why the sadness ?
Flash for mobile browser was a PITA from the start. The lite version was limited not only in power but in the APIs, was too sandboxed, and there was no practical use I can think of.
I don't see Flash on android for anything serious (serious as complex webapps).

Adobe AIR is a much more adapted and competent environnement, and it's getting more traction that ever.
Seems a pretty sunny landscape for AS to me.

The AIR runtime is there for serious applications, and I would expect it to be much funnier than webapps.

Edit: About Flash on android, there's the free, open submission process for full featured apps on android. An app would obviously be a better match for complex applications than Flash on the browser.

Third Party Evolv Health Review? Everything You Need To Know
the choice for EU was a simple one, since I live in Belgium I wanted either a .be or something more international. I choose .eu since I'm in Europe and not .com since it is not my commercial activity (I have other domains for that), .org on the other hand seems more for organisations and my blog is a one man operation :-) As an additional factor I have to admit to work for the .eu registry so of course I want to promote the .tld a bit but that was more a happy side effect, my business domain for example is a .be since I target small companies within my region.

Yes, they put some effort into mobile Flash (specifically flash lite) development when they could justify the cost with the revenue they were receiving from handset manufacturers that licensed it. Then the iPhone came out without Flash. Then Steve Jobs slammed Flash (approximately half of which was true) and told Adobe to go back to making tools to help people make shit.

And Adobe actually listened to jobs. I feel like Flash was an end in itself for Macromedia. It was, in part, Macromedia's great tilt at the "write once, run anywhere" windmill, and Adobe just carried that on (and I would say it's the public that loses out now that that's over). In the end, it doesn't matter to Adobe that the Flash runtime isn't in the iOS browser. Or in any browser from here on out.

Adobe sells tools to make shit. Jobs gave them a way to sell a new tool (Edge) and reminded them what they're actually in the business of doing.

That being said, I greatly appreciate everything the devs that worked on the Player have accomplished over the last few years (particularly Jim Corbett, Lee Thomason, and Matt Kaufman). Thanks for tilting at the windmill.

I get your point and I'm all for calm, dispassionate, intellectual discussions about theoretical things that don't exist yet.

But when there are real things being done right now by your government in your name causing innocent people to suffer, I cannot fathom a middle-ground on that.

First, stop the process and THEN we can have a calm, intellectual discussion about if it's right or wrong. But not while someone is aggressively doing something against another without public approval.

It's easy to call for dispassion when one isn't directly affected by an issue, how would you react if was your neighbor, family or yourself?

True, there's friction there. The problem I have is more with the lack of accountability, even to see who authorized it after the fact. All it takes is one stalker type with access to these and they can follow their ex around all day, every day.

I think someone else hit the nail on the head elsewhere when they said that they wouldn't be comfortable with their neighbors doing this. I think that's relevant, because it exposes that normal people do see a privacy interest in having someone follow you around, whatever the law may currently say about the existence or non-existence thereof. Maybe it's not a reasonable expectation, but that doesn't seem right to me, even if our privacy is steadily decreasing.

In a [1991] memo to his senior executives, Bill Gates wrote, “If people had understood how patents would be granted when most of today’s ideas were invented, and had taken out patents, the industry would be at a complete standstill today.” Mr. Gates worried that “some large company will patent some obvious thing” and use the patent to “take as much of our profits as they want.”

Why don't the shareholders fire these guys out of simple self-interest to protect the value of the stock they're holding?

Because malignity is obvious in hindsight, not so much though when you're chasing short term profits and looking at various incentive schemes (bonuses) to make people perform. Which is what they end up doing, in a narrow sighted kind of way, focusing on fulfilling the bonus criteria by gaming the system rather than protecting the interests of their shareholders. Incentives of this kind lead to inward rather than outward focus; Barry Schwartz and Kenneth Sharpe discuss this matter at length in "Practical Wisdom".

I don't have any experience with AIR for mobile, but on the desktop it's a sad second-class citizen, only slightly more featured than wrapping your website in a site-specific browser like Prism, and no longer fully cross-platform since Adobe decided to stop releasing updates on Linux. I really wanted it to be awesome, but it's not.

I do agree though, that complex browser apps just don't work on mobile Flash. I had been hoping that maybe somehow Adobe would get it to work, but obviously they haven't. And now, officially, they won't keep trying.

Inaccurate headline. The case under review involved a man suspected of being a major (>$1m) drug dealer, who was subsequently convicted.
