Like other's have said, this is not the developer's decision. In fact it was things like this that made me quit my job to go freelance.

Me and the other developers would spend literally hours explaining and re-explaining why links to external sites should not be opened in a new window. But because some marketing douchebag once said it was a good idea, our pleas went un-heard.

In short, don't blame the developers, admittedly a small portion of the blame is with them for not fighting hard enough, or being prepared to walk away. But the vast majority of the blame lies higher up the food chain.
And full of lambdas.

Some time ago I've read an IAmA on reddit with staff member of some big porn portal. It was quite interesting but I don't remember what porn site it was and don't want to blindly trying to google it as I'm at work. Writing this in case anyone knows and would post it here :)
It also makes me throw controllers across the room.

It seems like a neat project, but I don't really hate Interface Builder that much.

Getting rid of all the glue code is a really nice part of interface builder and this makes it so every UI element I want to use requires at least a couple lines of code.

I also don't like the idea of randomly tweaking numbers and rebuilding to see my whole interface.
How would you handle internationalisation with that approach?
An ex-PornHub developer did an AMA a few months ago; they were using Redis as well: http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/kf4be/nsfw_iama_former...
Basic rule true, but the guy did it 7 years ago on his first site.
If we are to believe him, he wasn't doing anything against Google rules currently.

As he mentions, it is like being sentenced to life for shoplifting a candy bar when you were a teenager. There is no appeal nothing(unless you can somehow bring attention to public).
I don't know much about your defences, but a good way of making your site less attractive to phishers might be to put an artificial delay inbetween when a form is submitted and when the owner can get access to the submitted data.

If that delay is longer than it usually takes for an abuse report to come in, and for it to be acted on, then it would prevent phishers from getting any data before the page is taken down. Maybe just do this for free users?

First off, I am not saying that youporn guys are not decent but IMHO, people shouldn't get too excited about this.

Youporn is somewhat quite a simple site I'd imagine. It's just categorized videos with a bunch of stats (views, related video...), and users. There's almost no social interaction between users (i've just registered an account just to confirm that).

That's a very clear (and good) reason why 100% redis suits for this website, apart from the goodness of redis like sorted sets are perfect for the "top rated" or "being watched" sections

Imagine the site now wants to add a little bit of social interaction, like allowing users to post video, follow each others... I'd say 100% redis wouldn't work any more
I've been temp banned from Google Groups just by opening a bunch of posts in tabs before going through and reading them all. So it isn't just what you do, it's the amount. I've seen ad networks complain when ads just strangely get too many clicks before compared to what their ads usually get. Saw one demand the ad be placed further away from any buttons in the UI due to this, etc..

If Google was more specific, fraudsters could probably figure out how many fake clicks per day per IP are allowed, etc.. While innocent people like the author will get banned once or twice, fraudsters will probably go through tons of accounts, maybe one for each family member, for example. So the fraudsters are going to be picking up data due to experiencing many more bans than innocents.

Heck, if the innocents all blog about it afterwards like this one, they are just acting like an extra data point for the fraudsters anyway, and most of them have so little traffic that banning them or not and telling them details or not will never make a difference to Google. So hiding details from them hides them from fraudsters too, although treating them this way is probably due to the expense of dedicating resources to worthless customers more than that. Let's say you have a million users and 10 customer support reps. Which users are you going to support and tailor your polices to? The ones with appreciable traffic who make most of your money.
Yep, i've been a Redis lobbyist for over a year at this company (i use to be the Lead Software Engineer on Youporn/Pornhub), and i'm really happy to see them using it and using it properly.

There is another concern besides screen space -- bandwidth. Since a mobile device can be accessing the site over 3G as well as WiFi, where bandwidth is at a premium, it is better to serve up the smaller mobile version.
When Apple launched the first iPhone it was sold for $500 without contract. Within months Apple had cut the low end model and dropped the price by a third to $400. For the iPhone 3G Apple would jump in bed with AT&T, introduce subsidized models, sales would explode and the rest is history. The Apple and AT&T partnership would lead to the Google Voice fiasco and delayed tethering feature rollout and the (still ongoing) download restrictions and low quality videos over youtube. It would be another 3 years before Apple released another iPhone model priced below $500 (the 8GB iPhone 3GS in fall of 2011).

The obvious point is that the cell phone industry is hard to break into and the most successful players adapt the realities of the marketplace. It's no surprise to anyone that Google changed Android to make it succeed. (Unless you're MG Siegler; I'm still waiting for the blog post on how he hates iOS because Apple sold out).
The funny thing is, if James Bond would do something similar in a movie, everybody would fall in love with the technique. But if somebody really breaks this down for you, it's wrong and "attention-seeking".
As he says in the last part of the post, this is just another tactic of being scrappy and wanting to learn from other people. Why not use it for your advantage?

Developer of Pegasus here:

I hear what you say. The idea is not to necessary replace IB, but to provide an alternative.

Next step is to include layout managers (similar to Android/Swing) which will automatically lay out views based on some pre-defined templates (e.g. i*j grid, horizontal, vertical, etc.) which will remove the need for randomly tweaking numbers as you say ;-)

(Said so, this is how a lot of developers tend to work already...)

I agree that the scrolling is pretty smooth. It's not quite as smooth as I think it could be but it's far beyond acceptable. I think when people say that scrolling doesn't "feel right" on a Galaxy Nexus is because of the distance you have to physically move your finger before it responds and actually starts scrolling. I think this is deliberate to prevent people from accidentally scrolling, but nevertheless, I think this is what people are seeing.
Creating content yourself to attract visitors (fake content from other users' perspective) has been common practice to get user generated content websites off the ground.

Perhaps you are referring to 'bussiness tactics' vs. shady tactics like using a botnet to distribute ads/sign up users.

One shady tactic I know of is some time-sharing network I saw where they created accounts for celebrities where users bought their time - and they never signed up.

Best shady tactic is being passionate about what you do and examine how it would benefit someone else - and then approach those people and talk about your idea (including strangers).

Usually targetting popular minds/people tends to get more attention.
Many people wonder why Google never provides a reason for cancelling an account like this. The answer is that any reason they provide would also be seen as their opening argument. They're not interested in arguing whether their reasons are valid, so they don't even give a reason.

If you give people a reason, the implication is that there is a deficiency which can be improved, a fault which can perhaps be forgiven, or a set of circumstances which can be seen another way. It gives people a place to begin an argument, and this is clearly a case where people are eager to do so.

Google doesn't want to start a conversation, they want to remove the participant from the program. Not having a reason makes that clear, and providing reasons makes that less clear.

It's the same dynamic when salespeople want to know why you don't want to buy — they're hoping they can persuade you to set aside those concerns and leave you with no rational reason not to make the purchase.

It's also the reason why, if you dump a needy romantic partner, you're better off not providing concrete reasons — the reason is just that you want the relationship to be over! You don't want them running after you screaming, "But I can change!"

In this case with AdSense, sifting out the accounts who "sometimes" break the rules from complete scammers is probably just deemed to be not worth the trouble. Doing things this way also helps establish that they are tough on fraud.

Also, as Google themselves say, they don't want to help give those who are gaming the system to get any more information than necessary about what sets off their alarms or trips the trigger to deactivate an account. But even so, there are good reasons to not give reasons.
Agreed. My only point was that, contrary to your original assertion, domain names do not look anything like property owned by the registrant.

That said, I do not support the confiscation, and I hope Jotform sues and wins. I'm not holding my breath, though.

Apple moves to stop Facebook and Twitter accessing iPhone address books
Absolutely... Sucks right..
You're talking about the percentage of consumers who use price as a signal for quality. I'd agree this happens, but for the signal to exist in the first place the quality must usually be there. If Apple hadn't focused on the quality of their products first, no amount of branding would have put them in this position.

I'm not going to defend google on their practices, I also think it's too harsh, but they probably just don't separate accidental offenders with full-time scammers (just like with panda algo, etc.).

Most surprising part: he's a journalist, and he uses TextEdit. (Although he uses something else for longer pieces, he mentioned TextEdit first).
Obviously for your work to be validated it must go through the process of peer review. However, I am suggesting that even after they become published in a scientific journal that the researchers should go about publishing their articles online themselves or through a third party site. I just don't see how the data can be easily locked away behind a pay wall if researchers can do whatever they please with their work. If they want to make their work available to the public there are many ways to do so.

Alright then, my UX-nerd-rage having subsided, I agree with that. However I think there still is room for a custom crafted experience. Just reading both Gaffigan's and CK's pitches you can feel the difference in polish. Gaffigan is funny, but his message just isn't as on-point.
For me it was probably hanging out on HN for the last two years that changed my mindset. I used to like spending time building (as in, building forever, not shipping) things with interesting technologies and great attention to code style, etc. Right now I try to focus on making something useful for me or others[1]. Programming is now more of a tool (one of many) than an art for me (though I still love to play around with technologies and concepts).

I blame this mindshift on the prevailing focus on shipping something useful ASAP that can be seen here :).

[1] - to the point that yesterday, after spending few hours researching available software and technologies, I decided to pay few bucks for a solution that I would normally strive to code myself.

There is a variant of this which is to auto-detect mobile browsers and redirect from "desktop" urls to the mobile homepage. This behavior is so massively brain dead it's ridiculous. If you're not going to do a smart redirect to the proper mobile version of the actual individual page then in most cases it's best to just serve up the desktop page.

Yeah, I don't know; Linux distributions bundle GPL software with non-GPL software. That doesn't make the non-GPL parts suddenly fall under GPL. In practice you're probably fine if you offer the GPL parts for free separately as well. Certainly, if the copyright holders of the original work openly state they don't consider third-party images and CSS to be included in the license, then I think they would have a hard time arguing the opposite in court.
