Most women I know who use dating sites don't pay much attention to the unsolicited messages they get. Instead, they browse the available men and send the ones they like PMs.

To be honest, its a lot like recruiting - the people sending their resumes to every company on monster rarely get hired for the best jobs. Those jobs instead go to the "good looking" people on LinkedIn, who are approached directly.

No reason this app can't work the same way.

And don't forget, Hot Or Not was an insanely successful dating site.

> If you asked people on HN who the most famous Dane is David Heinemmeir Hansson might be mentioned. Or maybe Bjarne Stroustrup who invented C++, or Rasmus Lerdorrf who invented PHP, or maybe Anders Hejlsberg who invented turbo pascal, Delphi and C#, or Lars Bak who developled the Chrome V8 javascript engine and was developer lead on Googles Dart language

One of those might be the most famous Dane known to people on HN in the sense that if they made an ordered list of all the famous people they know of and then went down the list checking nationalities, one of those would be the first Dane.

However, if you actually asked them to name the most famous Dane they can think of, I think there's a good chance none of those would be named. Until your post, I had no idea any of them were Danes. Most of those names are common in several countries, and I'd have guessed most of them were from Germany, Sweden, or Norway.

I've taught the labs for my university's Intro OS and Advanced OS courses, and I've heard this question many times. Here's the short answer: everything you do will eventually interact with the abstractions that your OS provides you; sometimes (often?), that abstraction leaks out implementation details. When you're confronted with an otherwise confusing problem (e.g. Why do I get shit performance when I read one byte at a time from disk?), understanding what the operating system is doing is going to be the quick way to figure it out.

Elm is extremely cool and I hope he expands on it.

Doesn't it seem like Elm could become HyperCard for the WWW, but with more powerful programming concepts?

I had a similar idea, but with a few more variations:

* Syntax more like HyperTalk.
* OOP/FP inspired from Factor.
(Which was inspired by a bunch of different languages.)
* have it also run code on the server-side with
several data-store architectures to choose from.

Putting the burden of proof solely on the journalist leaves the press open to legal harassment, having to constantly prove in court every statement that a public figure doesn't like. That kind of law probably wouldn't pass a constitutional test, especially in front of a Supreme Court that has upheld the right of news organizations to lie on air.

Wikipedia is not to blame any more than MTV is to blame for Jersey Shore - they are both simply catering content that reflects how their audience wants to expend attention.

Looking at the numbers for perez hilton, farmville, facebook, television, porn, etc - paints a picture that the average mass consumer does not consider scientific knowledge to be notable.. or the inventors of this knowledge.

I blame Edward Bernays. Watch the BBC documentary 'The Century of Self' which provides a historical context for why the amygdala of the typical consumer suckles all the attention, while the neo-cortex sits waiting like the runt of the litter with only a vague notion of scientific knowledge present in daily life.

For those wondering, the real power comes when you use the support for functional indices in combination with XML. You can create indexes on fragments of the XML and perform some very nice queries against large sets of XML documents. Hey, I'm not advocating this, but if you've got a ton of XML data and also an existing swath of relational, it's hard to map them onto each other without this level of in-database support.

It's also nice because it supports partial updates of the XML documents do that concurrent updates don't clobber each other during some kind of horrible read-then-write dance.

It would be really great to have first class JSON support at the level of this XML support built-in though. Certainly could convince some potential MongoDB converts to stay put.

I think it depends on who you are and where you're looking.

Aspiring Ruby programmers, who are usually web developers, go looking for these hip resources like codecademy and screencasts and whimsical online books. Aspiring Python programmers, who are often scientists just trying to do machine vision or numerical computing research, might be more likely to use the Python mailing lists and old-school resources--which are just as useful.
Ways to Save Money on Christmas Jewelry Gifts
This actually occurred to me and kinda bothered me as well. I saw an example during the FBI raid outage when the site was down in the morning on the east coast and there were no updates because he was still asleep on the west coast.

I just saw a post on Twitter from him about this: http://twitter.com/Pinboard/status/144174085629427714: "pals of mine have agreed to wind down the site in an orderly way and open-source the code if something happens to me"

That being said, I would still keep fairly regularly back-ups. With export this great, there's no excuse (short of maybe getting monthly back-up dumps delivered by email).

Sometimes, as is the case regarding 646 Pokemon, Wikipedia articles are suitable based upon completeness rather than notability.

I haven't trusted Paypal for a long time, since they repeatedly froze my account just for accessing it from a foreign IP. That wouldn't be so bad, except for their demands of things like faxes of utility bills and bank account statements just to get it unfrozen. Ridiculous.

I recently had to receive a significant payment from a client of mine. It would have been convenient--and worth the fees--for me to use Paypal to receive that money. But after all the stories of frozen accounts and my own experiences, I'm scared to use Paypal for more than a few hundred dollars. I had the client send a check instead.
Exactly! So you are going to store data as XML blob, and then use XPath to query it. You get to use XPath, how cool is that! I'm sure there are cases when storing XML documents in DB is useful -- e.g. if you need to store a complex document structure of which you don't know ahead of time. But the example they provided -- storing beer info is exactly the wrong case do it.
Great great great post!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You really need to think about how to make your website more consumer friendly. I read through the entire front page and couldn't figure out what exactly this product is and how it works to achieve all the liberation you're talking about. If your front page fail to pinpoint the core value to a non tech-savvy customer, it's unlikely to be picked up by mainstream attention.
That is a very succinct summary, thank you for that.

I was actually asking about this from the opposite person's perspective. I didn't catch the "in sales" part -- did I just miss that, or am I missing a larger context of his theory? Having missed that piece of info, I was wondering what this theory says about my own motivations (I would categorize myself in the 3rd category, where I try to help my friends. But shouldn't I question my own motivations, given this outlook?)

I suppose it's reasonable to question one's own motivations pretty regularly, anyhow.

The bar for "actual malice" is significantly higher than "has a grudge against". The plaintiff has to prove that the defendant made statements knowing that they were false, or made statements with reckless disregard for the truth. In other words, being mean was more important that being right.

If you are right or have good reason to believe that you are right, then it's not defamation to be mad and try to make your thoughts known.

Additionally, the fact that someone has not yet been charged or indicted can never be used as evidence that they are innocent or not guilty.
Google would not make their products perform poorly in someone else's browser; that would only tarnish the image of Google itself.

Browser crashes almost always happen when I'm loading a page that was already being slow or unresponsive. By the time everything falls apart, I'm definitely ready to blame the site and not my browser; usually I never go back to sites that want to serve me ten megabytes of script in exchange for a paragraph of text.

Blockbuster wasn't damaged by all the ill-will they created by charging absurd, usurious late fees. They were the king of their realm, as PayPal is now.

But, making your customers loathe you turns out to be a bad idea in the long term. The very moment reasonable alternatives present themselves, those customers are gone for good.

PayPal has done a lot of legwork, especially for international commerce. But this legwork can and will be done again one day – or, someone will discover an interesting workaround that makes this legwork unnecessary for some specific but perhaps very common cases. Human ingenuity is inevitable, especially with such rich rewards waiting.

Either way, PayPal won't enjoy its position forever. Unless they turn these perceptions around, it'll be hard fall.

This is similar to some of the effects of entanglement in quantum mechanics, where you can't affect the probability of a single event, but you can guarantee the events are not independent.

Once you figure the guesses have to be based on the coin flip you can see, it's pretty straightforward because there just aren't that many possible strategies. Sam always guesses that the coin he can't see is the same as the one he can see, whereas Dirk always guesses they are different. If they are the same, Sam is right and Dirk is wrong. Otherwise, Dirk is right and Sam are wrong. Each is right 50% of the time, they just ensure they are never right at the same time.

The biggest takeaway from Death March for me was that politics can dominate everything else in a project. Learning the skills to identify political nonsense, understanding how it got that way and what options you have (and sometimes that meansno options at all) is something programmers should learn as soon as possible.

I'm really amused by the fact that not only do you make visible modifications to a popular site you own as a talking point, but as other comments suggest, you seem to make a habit of it.
In other words, "popular". And thus the inevitable problem with using notability as a guideline.

Once that becomes the principle inclusion/exclusion criteria (as it tends to be in most of the discussion in AfD), exclude lots of junk, but you also only include things that are so common that everybody already knows about them anyway -- thus making an encyclopedia as the "place you go to look up stuff you don't know" moot.

This creates an irrational fear of including non-notable "false positives" (when bits are effectively free), and excluding perfectly good information that falls beneath some particular editor's personal interest radar.

The business model is that free is on a shared and limited infrastructure so our costs are low. We also limit the number and resources for free. We have found that we had some room to offer even more without cutting into our margins significantly which is what drives this decision.

Thanks for all your great questions!
Similar story I can't help share.

I went into Home Depot and asked for a piece of two by four to be cut to 38 7/8" length. The guy doing the cutting had to come and ask me what exactly 7/8ths of an inch looked like on a tape measure. It's the really small tick marks, right? I told him the really small ones are 16ths, and pointed to where the tape needed to go for 38 7/8". You can bet I measured that piece of wood after he'd cut it.
It seems pretty neat, certainly a cool senior thesis!

One suggestion if you take this further is to add a "dictionary" or "hash table" type. For practical programming problems, that is pretty necessary.

But a really neat project - it's cool to see a functional programming take on the CoffeeScript-style compiling-to-javascript.
to be clear, traditional cardio activities DO NOT build muscle. In fact, they do the exact opposite.

I didn't say exercises, I said activities. Sprinting will actually build muscle, jogging 20 miles will not. It is a difference in how your body adapts to the stimulus.

So, with that in mind, no, cardio typically is not a good choice for people with what 80% of people are hoping to achieve. Put plainly, the time/reward tradeoff is just too low. Sprint, bike sprint, row, swimming, they are all better than the elliptical, typical running and the like.

http://www.drkehres.com/2009/06/sprinters-versus-marathon-ru...

If you are a world class marathoner and are running 6 minute miles for a marathon, you will probably have some muscle and look pretty lean. That being said, 99% of the world is not this and are basically working out for hours with very, very little benefit to the time. However, even a recreational sprinter is going to see huge benefits from sprinting in both muscle building and fat reduction.

Verizon Planning Netflix Competitor For 2012 Debut
Full disclosure: I am founder and CEO of PHP Fog

Joe hit it right on the nail here. We examined our costs very carefully and found some room to give back to our community.

The right blend that we were going for was give enough to do dev/test for free, and be reasonably priced (https://phpfog.com/pricing) when you are ready for production.

When Linode gives away more RAM or AWS makes inbound traffic free, it is not a sign these companies are less trustworthy, but that they love their users. We love developers and are trying to do right by them.

This surprised me: link has type (String -> String -> String), taking URL and label as arguments, and returning HTML code as a string (instead of as an Element).

Then you need to use the text function (String -> Element)
to make that link appear properly on the screen.

This means that the text function (intentionally?) does not HTML-escape strings, even though examples suggest that it is the recommended way to put some unformatted text on the screen.

text seems very poorly named, especially if the goal is for HTML/CSS/Javascript to be treated like assembly. Maybe create a function called html that does what text does now, and let the text function be equivalent to (html . htmlEscape).

Looks nice overall, and I look forward to seeing how it develops. Is Elm available for download?
These aren't myths. This is the author attempting to redefine the meaning of the word "introvert". For example:

Myth #2 – Introverts are shy.

From dictionary.com:

noun: 1. a shy person.

http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/introvert

If you want to use the word "introvert" to support some psychological theory, that's fine. Just don't act like everyone else has been misusing the word all along.
Alternative answer: "Our business model is freemium-based, as shown here: https://phpfog.com/pricing "
Just wanted to say thank you for doing this. It was a rather fortuitous coincidence because I'm starting on a Drupal project and was evaluating hosting options to use for development. I am exactly the demographic you mentioned: use for dev, with a strong consideration of upgrading for production.

So thank you.
Are there any high quality freelance project boards?
Not for $500 - $1,000 freelance jobs that are a dime-a-dozen.

But high quality, $20,000+ projects.

Ideally, I am talking about web app development jobs - but I am curious about other types too.
How, precisely, does your service interact with my code? What does an error report look like? This should be on the front page.

Also, "How can I pay for errorception?
I'm working hard on getting a simple enough payment mechanism in place, that plays well with the laws of my land. As you can imagine, I need to start making money soon enough, and this is my top priority right now." doesn't inspire confidence in your product's reliability or half-life.
Any books to recommend? I might need a few of them. Probably will need one that explains their products so I can get familiar with the field first.

How about best practices and agility? Testing, automation, build/deploy strategy, etc...

Btw, thank you for the explanation. Greatly appreciated.
