Using Internet tool for increasing the popularity of your music album
The tool of internet is very handy and useful one. Internet has entered into every field of our life and the field of music promotion has also not remained unaffected by it. The singers and online music promotion companies are taking help of the internet marketing for increasing the sale and popularity of their music albums.

The act of maintaining an email server and managing your relationship with well-known peers (especially with major mail service providers) is unfortunately nontrivial.

The big dogs often act as if they own the Net, which, in a sense, they do (they account for a very large portion of email). And even as rational actors, they'll prioritize delivery/peer issues with other larger providers and organizations over Joe Part-time-postmaster. This isn't 1996 any more.

Not saying you can't do it, but you may find that you'll want to at least use a larger MSP as a your egress pathway.

I have a lot of gripes over Google (evil or otherwise) myself, but they are among my mail providers.

So social media and it's virality/network effects are great when used for hype/promotion/marketing but "the mob" is "destroying our community" when the feedback is negative?

Nothing here was a "mistake". These weren't bugs that accidentally got shipped. Path was acting as spyware to push growth and Airbnb was ignoring a serious problem with their business model.

I find it funny that his dog analogy works way better another way. Path was the pit bull and "social media" kicked it in the head. Arrington is mad because he likes the pit bull and it was just a "mistake".

The whole things strikes me as "waaah, we can't fuck over users as easily anymore. I want social media to let me push my message to the little people, not have them talk about my product with each other!"
I guess we could call this "Big Iron", eh?
Yes, tcl's `exec` command implements a special syntax for using UNIX pipes, but what I'm referring to is not UNIX pipes, but a language feature - an interactive language needs to implement some kind of pipe/chain/cascade syntax, so you can use the results of a command without having to go back and surround it with parentheses or brackets.

I had a similar reaction as szany. I think part of the problem is that your post has an really shallow example: knowledge of bars and restaurants in Hong Kong. That's not a topic that would ever require very deep study.

There are a range of subjects which really do require deep study before you should be spouting off on them, for instance: compilers. I've got stacks of books on compilers and have spent a decent amount of time studying the details of Lisp implementation, and I'm not sure there's much to be gained from sharing what I know. I would just be regurgitating what I've read in books which present the topic better than I could, so I don't think it would be beneficial, unless I were to specifically seek out feedback from experts, but that's not what you're talking about it seems.

I just think there are shades of gray here and your post might have benefited from some more specific examples rather than presenting the idea that we are in general "smarter" than we think we are. I find it humbling and inspiring to realize how much "smarts" I lack and how much I have to learn, when it comes to deeply technical subjects.
On the other hand, in an application language, (((f .) .) . g) (for a composing a unary function for with a ternary function g) gets confusing as well.

How does this deal with foreign key references? I thought that if you rename a table the FK references from other tables will still point at the renamed table? Discussion here: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/rename-table.html

The Percona pt-online-schema-change tool goes to great lengths to avoid this kind of problem.
"NB: Development of the interface wouldn't have been possible without a stipend from Google Inc. as part of Google Summer of Code 2011, which allowed me to work on it fulltime without worries."

So it's Google's fault.
As a TCL programmer, you are permitted to imagine "everything is a string". In most TCL implementations, though, your "strings" are stored as objects underneath, and converted when necessary. So if you say:

set foo [+ 1 2]
incr foo 3
puts $foo

the variable `$foo` will not be converted into a string until the last line.

You can, but monkey patching is not always ideal (https://www.google.com/search?q=gevent+monkey+patch+issues).
The spacing is off. The gap between the maximum volume icon and the toggles on the lower left is inconsistent with the rest of the spacing in the bottom bar area, as is the spacing on the gaps between the chrome edge and the button groups (left side looks like it has a bigger gap than the right).

The search bar border should not be flush with the border of it's containing view, maybe a 3-4 pixel gap would be pleasing.
Yes, that's when you allow Javascript in your browser

If you don't allow javascript on this domain, the redirect is wrapped on Google server.

I will not trust Google Search running Javascript

Edit: Turns out Google will do a javascript redirect on the first tracked page, then the second page will display every links without wrapped. If this is not evil, I don't know what is.
I'm loving the drop-in effect used for the download form on FullContact. Anyone know if there's a jquery plugin for this?
I've tried it now, and sadly this is not the case. There also appears to be a very annoying two-second delay between using the soundlevel-controller and the level of the sound actually changing. I would love to see both of these things resolved in a release in a not too distant future. If you happen to have had certain reasons for not making an auto-hiding UI by default, please provide it as an option instead.
Would love to hear more in the form of a blog post; perhaps when the world server has shipped.

I tried DDG, I found myself doing queries that I knew worked just fine on Google, but came up a bit short on DDG.

Quite honestly, I don't see a need to switch now.
Yup, exactly. This is the exact question I had last time I saw a ddg thread here. (Also works with Firefox, Opera, etc)

(And again, the same thing I said last time, the added benefit of using browser shortcuts instead of ddg is that you can map them to intranet results that can't be indexed (by an external search engine))
There is another problem unmentioned in this article with his simple table modification example... When you modify a table the DB needs to write the entire table to disk, locking it all the time. Depending on how much data is in the table and how fast your IO is this can be hours and hours of downtime on the live database, for a migration that only took a few seconds locally on your test database.

Running migrations on live databases with lots of data in them is hard. There are many strategies to work around this problem, but generally running an 'alter table' on your primary db server on a huge table while it is in use should be your very last option.
I do agree with the main thrust of article, but also think he and Michael are big hypocrites for complaining about it. TC is and was the Fox News of tech - all controversy and sensationalism, zero real discourse or educated insights.

HTML validation: is it worth it?
> Am I right in making my judgement call? Or is this NDA practice quite widespread?

It is not widespread, but it is very much possible that the NDA was in fact required if you were discussing certain sensitive subjects that were vital to their business plan / product development / marketing / etc. It is also quite possible that they do discuss such subjects with other interviewees, and the VP didn't really know if you'd be included or not, so he made you sign it as a precaution. Just imagine yourself in VP's shoes.

In any case, it's not a big deal assuming the NDA was reasonable, and you are likely off in your negativity.

VLC needs quicker access to subtitles, and they need to search for subtitles on the web, like BSPlayer does it (if they already do this, then it must be hidden very well, and I'm not aware of it).
MG loves calling bullshit on people, but someone needs to call bullshit on him this time.

If this were Android instead of iOS, MG would be condemning Google for exposing the API. And if this were some obscure startup he didn't have a stake in, he'd be lambasting them for being irresponsible and calling for an app store ban. I would expect nothing less from him.

Clearly there's a conflict of interest here since MG is an investor in Path. Either way, his defense of Path's behavior is itself completely asinine; so much so that I'm surprise he was able to physically type the words.

They needed the data to "ease the connection building process." Bullshit. The whole point of Path is that it's the anti-Facebook. That is, you only share your Path with intimately close friends and family. If I can’t pick them out of my address book myself, I've got problems a social app can’t solve. And, by the way, how the hell is Path going to look at my address book and distinguish my best friend from my plumber?

SSL? Bullshit. Just because Path was using SSL doesn't make up for the fact that they were storing a copy of the data without telling the user. A server breach is far more damaging than a man-in-the-middle attack. At the very least, they should have informed the users of the risk they were taking.

"Other apps do it, too." Bullshit. That doesn't make it okay. There are plenty of developers who could copy all sorts of data without you knowing. I'm sure some do, but lots don't. It's a choice. You can choose whether or not to be creepy.

I love MG's writing and I usually agree with what he says, but I think he's letting his loyalties get in the way here, so much so that he’s willing to be hypocritical.
I've never used Gmail for personal mail.

I talked myself into using Gmail as the IMAP server for my business for a while, but then migrated that to Fastmail.

My company uses Gmail and Google Docs, extensively. It's been fun using Gmail, at least before they "updated" the interface. (The new interface has not been my friend, thus far.) I can definitely understand why everyone fell in love with Gmail when it was new.

Giving up Gmail is easy; there are many alternatives. Even Google Search has alternatives. A bigger frustration is Google Reader, which is harder to replace. And I can't give up Docs or Groups cold-turkey, because I belong to groups that use them; fortunately I haven't used them for anything especially private.
I went to journalism school and spent a little time afterwards writing for money before taking an entrepreneurial tack.

A year or so into that, I realized it was really hard to take seriously any business reporting that wasn't coming from someone who had actually run a business or startup reporting from someone who had actually started a company. My journalist friends would cry foul, but unless you've been the person faced with the daunting task of "finding a market" for a new product or "scaling a sales channel" after one's been discovered, I'm not going to pay too much heed to your criticisms of others efforts to do so.

I think that's what Mr. Siegler is getting at when he says he now realizes all the tech writing out there is full of crap. Some of the bloggers out there own their operations and have built real businesses out of it and so have a lot of authority when it comes to writing about other companies. This does not describe many of the contributors I see on major blogs though, so I take their posts with a grain of salt.

You are welcome to do with your privacy whatever you damn well please. It is yours.

When someone else decides what to do with it without bothering to ask for permission, it is called an "invasion of privacy." For many people this is a bad thing. Bad enough that there are very severe legal repercussions for it dependent upon the jurisdiction and severity.

I am getting really tired of the argument that the facebook lot are being "brave" on my behalf. Or that "privacy is dead" like it was a fad to be discarded when the taste went sour.

Privacy is a right and it is to be abrogated with explicit consent only. While it is a right that is often abrogated by the actions of its possessor (wittingly or no), that is their option and choice. It is not for anyone else to decide.
It's very clear it has all been with the intention of deception.

Excellent observation.

Other than the three types you mentioned, I come across another type. They don't learn new stuffs that quickly. They might look dumb when they are introduced to new things. However, given more time, they are able to think and dig really deep.

Then it occurred to me that they were already thinking wider and deeper from the beginning. Because the knowledges conveyed in an introductory scenario is so limited, they have more questions and they get confused. They have no intention to hide their confusion. Once they acquire more knowledges in the field and organize the pieces into a system, they start showing how deep their thoughts have gone to.

True. However, the years between childhood and adolescent are blurry. This is the reason you have the term "Jailbait" in the first place. Some people are "late bloomers" and look like children well into their teens. Others end up looking like they've reached the age of consent, but haven't; the "Jailbait". I think that in general sexualizing the under 18 crowd should be avoided. (Even if the age of consent is lower than that.) Just because of how blurry these lines are.
Fair enough, but my wife made the appointment a month or two in advance and the venture financing was 4 months away and I don't think that I'd mentioned the possibility to her (we're a cash-flow shop). But other than missing the point entirely, you were spot on (by which I mean: totally wrong). [<--That Mitchell And Webb Look anyone?].

Also, as my original comment noted, I think psychics are BS. My point was that value may be be extracted from them.
Clearly part of the reason related to the substantial downsizing of the auto industry, which was the major industry in Detroit (and still is to a lesser degree).
PDF Creator 1.2.3 ~ Share Anything
> Its success, like most languages, will depend on library support.

By that measure Go's standard library is very extensive: http://weekly.golang.org/pkg/

There are also a lot of 3rd party packages (e.g., http://godashboard.appspot.com/package) most of which can be installed in a single command.

For my purposes, Go's standard library has proved as complete as Python's (http://docs.python.org/library/index.html) and includes some things that the Python standard library doesn't (e.g., crypto, graphics), all the more impressive IMO considering how relatively young Go is.

This type of romanticization of military production is obscene.

One of my worst fears is that we might see the current military campaigns surrounding Iran and the area around it develop into another "great" war.

There is nothing stopping us from using this manufacturing equipment to build tools of creation rather than destruction.

I remember reading something in my history textbooks many years ago that suggested that although war meant massive loss of life and destruction, it wasn't all bad, because it was "very good for the economy". That line of thinking only holds water if you believe that humans are disposable or buy into a sort of 19th century Social Darwinism.

There is so much money to be made in war. Please, everyone look at a map. http://binged.it/A6U96Z These activities in Afghanistan, Iraq, Egypt, Libya, Syria, Yemen, Saudi Arabia, etc. are not isolated instances.

This is an aggressive war of domination, resource acquisition and territorial control. It is completely insane and inexcusable.

Agreed. Was disheartened to read that the machine's primary use in the coming years will be to build JSF planes instead of infrastructure for new light rail networks.
I tried using DuckDuckGo for a few days. Here's what I found, YYMV:

• Google's results are much better. A handful of times I searched for something I would think, "Wait, that can't be all there is," and Google would give me back what I was looking for above the fold.

• Google is much, much faster in returning results for my regular searches, which are usually programming related or an esoteric Wikipedia topic.

• DuckDuckGo's bang syntax (!jquery, etc) isn't any better than search keywords built into Firefox and Chrome.

• DuckDuckGo's settings page is like Skyrim -- epic and freeform.

• DuckDuckGo is a very well-executed product. The UI is clean, browser integration is smart ("You're using Chrome! Click this!" or something), and it's tailored for my savvy search users.
Not mentioned in the article is that forging delivers a stronger part than casting or machining, since the grain of the metal remains continuous. Hence its use in turbine blades and so on.

If you ever want to see a true craftsman in action, it's a master blacksmith in charge of a steam hammer. He can go from literally cracking an egg to delivering a blow whose resonance nearly brings the building down. Combined with with the way he manipulates the workpiece, it is poetry in motion.

The area to watch right now if you want central location, access to Bart, and an up coming startup scene is around Civic Center, between 6th and 10th and market / mission. It's still VERY sketchy there, but not for long - Twitter is coming soon, and this should start to gentrify / startupify things. Lots of classic, old SF office buildings there too.
Horrible syntax.

Manual labor to write them that a build system could automate for you.

Not convenient enough for large projects, so people write makefile-making tools anyway.

It turns out a mess.
Yet DDG will never be as fast as a real search engine since it relies on external APIs (Yahoo BOSS, etc).
I loved DDG because it was a one person champion fighting a giant. And the attempt was very sincere and determined.

I tried switching to DDG for a week. But went back to Google.

Reasons:

- Relevance: Google gives me high relevance, very high. Restaurant:Food-Quality::Search-Engine:Relevance.

- Speed: Google works in milliseconds. Instant search + search intents also add value.

- Gives me rich map results. Also switching to Maps/Image searches with same search term help. DDG doesn't.

Positives of DDG which are actually not:

- Not bubbling up. I WANT the search engine to know that I'm a hacker. When I search for ruby, it is a programming language. I see value in bubbling up.

- Keyboard shortcuts - Good value. But I don't go for more than 3 results in Google. So just a single tab and enter works.

- Bang syntax - Chrome's search keyword replaces it.

Definite plus:

- User experience : DDG is much cleaner than Google.
