Should Web App's Blog be on “brand” domain or more “SEO-Friendly” domain?
I know this question gets answered and asked a lot but this is a bit different. thanks in advance for reading and helping!<p>-my web app is an online resume tool with a custom (read: unknown) brand. We are planning on building a career advice blog to help drive traffic to the App. We are planning on building it on a domain that is different from the "brand" that is a direct match to a VERY often (Like hundreds of millions time a month often)searched phrase on google (although it is long... like 17 chars long)... we would just have a "this blog is sponsored by...'our brand'.." written all over the site.<p>I know google is discounting "exact match" URLs in their new SEO algorithms, but I still think it would help drive users from search engines to our unknown brand.<p>What do you think? Opinions input is very helpful! Try to build it on a new SEO friendly domain or build up our current brand?
THANKS!

I give my customers rewards points for using Dwolla which they don't get when paying with other methods. I'm more of a small business and have to micromanage this all though. (I didn't know this is supposedly against CC terms too haha)

I don't see why my average (online) customer is going to pay $3/mo for this, but then I am probably the only place they are using Dwolla. Also, I am very hands on with them and just take "their word" or fill an order when I get the notice that the 2-3 day travel of funds from their bank to Dwolla is good.

Again, I think this Instant thing all ties back to the CU Exchange feature I discussed before. Dwolla tries to forge a sort of deal where this bank's customers get Instant without the $3/mo fee and Dwolla + the bank chop the other half of money made in "transit time interest".

Long term, I see the success of Instant tied to this, banks being able to offer free Instant as a perk with an account with them, versus Instant used as a cheaper overdraft or standalone feature.
Holy F___ what a bunch of idiots. Chaffetz , Lofgren and Polis seem to be the only ones who gets this. We are totally screwed if this moves forward. DMCA made worse.

I agree. If the industry had spent all that money in rethinking and reshaping their business model to something the consumers actually desired, maybe we'd be in a much nicer state right now.
There are indirect ways of rewarding someone for not using a credit card - like providing a coupon for their next purchase (I saw that at Ikea before). Although if these loopholes gain in popularity the credit card companies could always revise their terms.

That's not really a correct comparison. The criteria for legal abortions were not introduced to the constitution after the X case. You're thinking of the eighth amendment, a decade earlier. The thirteenth and fourteenth amendments which resulted from the X case were in relation to allowing women are free to travel abroad and get information while still in Ireland as a result.

> running outdated software the rest of us have to support.

Why would you support outdated software only used by pirates? Just don't support it to force the pirates to update.
Many of them think they care, and believe they have some reason to not upgrade. When you're running IE 6 or 7 MS frequently directs you to a 'time to upgrade, here's IE 8/9' page so they've been reminded plenty already.

The reasons I've heard from users include that they:

- fear it will make their computer unstable

- believe their hardware can't handle it

- are comfortable with IE 6/7 and fear change

- don't understand the extent to which the newer versions are faster/more secure/more capable

- 'son/daughter/hubby/wife/computer tech told me not to change anything'

I'm sorry, my friend, but robots are a solution in search of a problem....why not simply use people?

Let's take a specific example. Washing dishes. Why do most people have dishwashers instead of washing dishes by hand?

Two easy responses are that it's both more convenient and more efficient to have a dishwasher wash the dishes. So you have both a time and resource savings. Sure, a dishwasher might not be humanoid, or even what we think of when we here the term "robot", but it's still a machine performing a function in place of what we would do manually.

With just that as a starting point, you can think up nearly unlimited examples for where this type of automation can improve our lives. Automated cars would be safer (and by extension, you could have things like automated trash pickup and automated street cleaners). How about a bathroom that kept itself clean (runs a regular self-wash cycle)?

It's interesting that you bring up Javascript. I've just started working in Python full-time recently and have noticed the OOP stuff "feels" a little like working with objects in Javascript. Specifically around how the built in super works and more generally how methods are defined on classes to begin with. In Javascript you can do interesting things with call and apply on function objects to share functionality between two objects that work the same. Similarly in Python, since the methods defined in a class are also available on the class object itself, you can use them outside of an instance and simply give them a self to operate on. The class object almost acts like the prototype object on the function object you're using as a constructor. I know the two systems are different, but they do "feel" real similar. Most people I mention this to seem a bit surprised and have that "never thought of that" look on their face. Anyone else witness this?
I've recently been keen to find an answer to this also. Let us know if you find anything.
In some cases this can take longer:

"Six Waltons Have More Wealth Than the Bottom 30% of Americans" (http://finance.yahoo.com/news/six-waltons-more-wealth-bottom...)
The above doesn't really work as the builtin object class doesn't allow extra attributes. Still any pure Python class does by default:

class Foo(object):
pass
foo = Foo()
foo.name = ...
def hello(self):
...
foo.hello = hello
It's all relative to your environment. A senior developer in one shop might be one of the more junior guys in the next shop. Salaries also vary depending on the market rates for the stack.

To me, deciding on whether someone's a Senior Developer depends on few things:

1) How much experience do they have in a stack similar to mine?

2) How much of their time would be spent learning versus doing?

3) How much of their time would be spent doing versus teaching?

Juniors learn a lot, Mid levels do a lot, Seniors teach a lot. Everyone's a doer, but the difference between a senior and a mid level is that the senior takes on the additional responsibility of teaching.

The next level is Lead, which is doing, teaching, and being held accountable for others' success.

It's great to have a washing machine that works for 10-20 years, but why couldn't the government and corporations pick a _good_ washing machine. Why IE6 instead of some sane browser?

Anyway, there's enough non-IE6 work to do that I generally refuse to write any IE6 code (and when I do, I don't spend more than a minute or two copy-pasting some conditional comment found via Google.)

IIRC, you're specifically not allowed (under credit card TOS) to charge MORE for accepting a credit card, but you can offer a discount for another payment method. This is how, e.g., gas stations can charge one price for cash and another for credit.

Do we really, though? If the boxes running IE6 are in Asia and elsewhere in the developing world, how many of us really need to develop for them? I can't think of many websites that need to cater to Chinese pirates.

My son is 9, and loves building things and is very patient in doing so. but I'm tired of buying legos and other 'toys,' and instead am looking for something like a robotics kit, or something he can build that's real and takes a bit of skill to finish.

I disagree that's a best practice for all cases.

For a commerce site that you will not use or necessarily maintain for years, a system where you don't ever get passwords that other people give you can certainly serve better than one where you do, as the logins are only useful for the content.

This could be more useful to him as his security matters less, as he has less valuable things stored in his site. It may also work better to lower support costs (as many people are pretty bad about keeping track of passwords), and this approach means they can just look at their email to start.

I agree for many cases (say, HN), that it is a good practice, but it's not gold in all cases.
The gas stations near me all list only the cash price, then when you pull in you'll see that "not using cash" costs 5-10c more per gallon. It's pure semantics, people are "charging more" for credit cards all the time.

Ok, after few days I can say that I find it EXTREMELY useful. The tagging feature is great for having everything neatly organized, and I'm already full of great reference materials for pretty much anything I'd like to write about on blog, Twitter, forums, Stack Overflow, etc. :)

As for more suggestions, a pretty obvious one is a browser plugin. While bookmarklet is nice, a plugin would likely allow to offer more features (like list of recently added links as popup menu, search mechanism, etc.). I guess it's not hard to turn bookmarklet into Chrome plugin, but please don't forget about Firefox users too :)
I couldn't agree more. I'm building my first app and still learning my way around linux, apache, etc. Working with webfaction has been like having a sysadmin on the team. Customer support is amazing.
I've never heard anyone say Java is slow when compared with Ruby or Python. In fact I'm looking at some benchmarks that show the complete opposite. And as for PHP, Facebook is a completely different company with traffic very few startups will ever see.

I also don't think the argument that Java or C# is somehow a worse fit for agile development is valid. Sure, I might be able to get my app out more quickly with Python or Ruby, but long term it's not like I'm adding thousands of lines of code a week. A startup takes a long time to build, if you are still writing a ton of code half a year out and you aren't making revenue, I think you should take a step back from coding and focus on business development.

I think agile development is hindered or bolstered by your tools (using git instead of svn, for example) more than the language you write your program in.
Also, i forgot to add, your code snippet doesn't work. Some magic goes into the self binding.

My thought exactly. We should all just agree that using "they" in that context is grammatically correct, and just call it a day.
I've been sitting in a hotel lobby for literally 24 hours over the last two days. There have been two different news stations playing this entire time. I have heard news coverage of all sorts of topics, but nothing discussing SOPA.

In fact, the only thing I've seen was an ad (presumably by the MPAA or RIAA) saying that piracy costs jobs, concluding with the phrase "Stop Online Piracy." How is it possible that neither of these stations even mentioned SOPA? Is there really that little public interest in the topic? They're talking about apple cider recipes right now.
I don't understand why not much has been said about Android on exactly this topic.

The article complains mainly about two issues both of which are solved by the Android platform:

1) The keeping-applications-up-to-date problem has been addressed by the auto-update mechanism introduced by a market update for some time now. The apps are updated silently in the background without any user-interaction whatsoever. That's exactly what Chrome does for the web. If you keep Chrome open for decades then you web app will not upgrade either, at least not in the way you think it will.

2) The every-app-is-an-island problem is symptomatic of iOS since you are only allowed access as Apple sees fit. However, this is a solved problem on the Android platform through the use of Intents and the Back button which works as good as any web linking would.

Interestingly (or perhaps ironically), this probably means that the IE chrome won't get updated lest it alarm the users.
Rvalue references allow you to "steal" the resources from an object when it's safe to do so. One use for this is to optimize functions returning large complicated data structures, but that's just because memory is a particular type of resource.

With rvalue references, you can move around objects that should be moveable but not copyable. Consider an object representing a database connection - copying it isn't meaningful, but moving it ought to be.

I upvoted you because it is the first thing I think of when I think of this question, but in Cobol's defense, self-modifying code (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-modifying_code) was fairly normal at the time COBOL was conceived.

For a nice example from a later date, look at the GetChar subroutine on Commodore Basic. It loaded a byte from a hard-coded address, and then updated that address (hm, probably in the reverse order, since, IIRC, it shared code with GotChar, which returned the last value GetChar returned)
> ... sometimes a discussion isn't just about the

That is exactly my point. I'd like to have a way of linking together the different discussions as related to the different ways the topic has been reported. I'd like to see the ability to create a "link node" of some description that allows the different submissions to be found from each other. Perhaps just a meta-submission that has the different submissions of the same story linked in, by hand, as children. Then we can go to the parent of a submission to find other submissions of the same story, each possibly with a different slant, each possibly with a different discussion.

Some people - llambda particularly in my experience - think that HN is fine as it is and should be left alone - nothing can improve it. My engineering and entrepreneurial instincts are, however, screaming at me that the experience can be significantly improved, and information made easier to find.

I think there's a simpler answer they might not have considered. Whatever job I have, I am alway most productive at night. That's because I am nocturnal. I always have been. And the fact is that while I can be at an office early, my mind doesn't function at it's highest capacity until after midnight. Again, this might be an isolated case, but I have a feeling a good percentage of programmers are night owls.
