It seems like everything you're talking about seems very specific to the kind of web work you do.

Not being able to draw rounded corners properly is unique to "the kind of web work I do"? Yanking an entire video codec -- and probably the most popular one in the industry -- is unique to "the kind of web work I do"? Screwing up the browser if someone loads a page containing a Flash or Java applet is unique to "the kind of web work I do"?

I'm honestly not sure at this point what it is you think I do or why you think it's somehow unique. I'm drawing on several projects and more than one client I've worked with here, and just about the only thing they have in common is that they involve building a web app rather than just designing a static page. There must be many thousands if not millions of guys doing similar jobs, and I'm far from the only person to report any of the issues I mentioned.

And the specific case you mention here is also something that could happen in a longer-term release; rapid-release lets you fix it faster.

Except that if your rapid release cycle doesn't allow enough time for adequate QA then it is far more likely that you will ship broken code, and in the plug-in case the breakage was so severe that they pushed an out-of-band patch to correct it anyway. The rapid release cycle may well have contributed to causing the problem and certainly did nothing to help fix it in that case.
If you want to make it unique, it syould be simple to cover it wit QR codes. If you know the location, size and orientation of each (which can be encoded in the QR itself), you should be able to calculate the position of the cameea pretty accurately by meassuring the perspective distortion.

The difference is I agree that both funding and profiting are milestones on the success journey. Whereas the person I responded to apparently does not. And it's not clear that you do either.
I don't know if they'd be liable, but they could take action that would reduce the possibility of this kind of thing happening.

One very helpful tool would be setting a community expectation of weekly updates from funding time to shipping time. They can't really enforce a rule like that since they have no leverage over the project people once the money is released, but they can certainly set the expectation that frequent updates are the rule, not the exception.

There are some cases where frequent updates may not make sense, but for the vast majority of projects, there's got to be some sort of news to share on a weekly basis. It's surely not too much to ask of project people that they spend a few minutes every week updating those who made their project possible.

If there's literally not any news to share, then maybe that project is in trouble, and that too would be communicated if the standard was for weekly updates and the project wasn't following that guideline.

Setting a standard along those lines is certainly better than the current state of affairs.

"Smaller hosts" like this are imho companies that sell a service they are fundamentally unable of actually maintaining. And they are usually not very transparent about it.
The more likely explanation is the slotting fees retailers charge to have the products in the store in the first place. It is easier to sell a bunch of space and have that space occupied by the manufacturer.

Depending on the product, the manufacturer can be responsible for filling the shelves and maintaining the display. As an example this is usually the case for Frito Lay products.

Apologies for the brief response; I have to get to work shortly.

For the Chrome/dialog bugs, if you search for things like "chrome bug repaint" you'll probably find quite a few similar issues.

For the rounded corners bugs, this looks relevant:

As far as video goes, Flash is not the de facto standard any more if you're working with mobile. Apple won that one. And H.264 is technically superior to the other useful formats for HTML5 video and the only format supported and/or supported with hardware acceleration on several platforms, so dropping it isn't much of an option.

Finally, on the subject of testing, it wasn't really me personally who got burned by the Firefox screw-up, it was one of my clients. Their technical people understand that there isn't much I can do about it, but that doesn't help their customer support people who have to deal with irate customers.

In any case, we actually recommend that their customers use IE rather than Firefox or Chrome these days, because for all its sins, it is a stable platform to build on and we can test against it with some confidence that end users will see similar behaviour for a useful period of time to come. No-one connected with this project likes rapid browser release cycles: not the developers, not the users, and certainly not the guys paying my invoices, who are on the wrong side of both.
For which part? That photos take most of the space? Or that they're virtually un-de-dupable?

I'm fairly sure about the former (having seen some private numbers that I'm not allowed to share) -- although you can think through it yourself. What other kind of data is as easily and commonly produced as photos/videos and takes up so much space?

The latter is definitely true since it's a hard research problem that I've spent some time thinking about myself. There are approaches to lossy-de-duplication of photos that can achieve some significant savings, but the quality loss is too great to be useful at the moment.

I wonder if this is actually a serendipitous bug, rather than an intentional feature? If there's a hit-test heuristic associated with the general keyboard area, then the edge keys might be passing off the key event to their logical neighbor, which happens to be physically further away.
Upvoted for the common sense.

I've spent my life listening to people talk about scary scenarios of uninhabitable wastelands full of radioactive waste.

I don't know if the misunderstanding comes from intentional propaganda from the anti-nuclear folk, or a misunderstanding of what 'half life' means.

Either way, I routinely used to ask people : if nuclear bombs make a place uninhabitable, how come Mazdas are still made in Hiroshima?

Study after study has shown the biggest hurdle is getting someone to go from paying $0 to $1. After that, the actual price seems to matter much less (ie. if someone is willing to pay $1, they're probably willing to pay $10).

Since you're not trying to game any ranking lists (e.g. Amazon bestsellers, App Store), there doesn't seem to be any reason to sell at a "bargain basement" price. A quick glance at the preview recipe shows that your ebook does have valuable content for its target audience.

As others have suggested, $9.99 or so is probably going to be a sweet spot for you. Low enough for impulse buys, high enough to make decent money.

(The only other explanation for low sales might be the plethora of free recipe websites out there. But you're selling to a captive audience that's already on your website and likes your content, so it's probably going to be less of a factor.)

I have been looking at deployment possibilities for django on a number of platforms such as heroku, gondor, and openshift. I follow how to get a site set up, but I am wondering how much your costs rise as you scale. For example, I am interested to know rough answers to these two questions, for any of the above-mentioned platforms:

- About how much traffic can the free tier on these platforms handle? I ask, because I am wondering how soon you outgrow the free tier when you are demoing an MVP.

- When you outgrow the free tier, what is the next price level? For bootstrapping, it would be nice if it didn't have to go from free to ~$200/month. (I am just thinking of the cost of having a dedicated db on heroku.)

I know the exact answers depend on things like db size, but considering a small db (not a photo sharing site), can someone offer rough answers to these questions?

I don't think there's anything really to be said here other than wow and thanks.

Honestly, it's nice to have the biggest web company just reach out and lend a hand to random projects around the net. From JQuery to Linux. That's pretty impressive. People will post about ulterior motives and incentives, but at the end of the day, it's just a good thing (TM).

I use the split keyboard all the time and for some reason my fingers seem programmed for the y key on the left hand, almost always.

I'd agree it "smells" more like a bug than a feature, since there is no graphical cue that you are actually pressing a key, also, holding the key doesn't cause a popup of letter variants like the ÿ.

>but statements like this,

>"Whether you like it or not, whitespace is significant in JavaScript. A linebreak indicates, in most cases, the end of a statement; a semicolon is automatically inserted for you."

>Are just flat out absurd. Like it or not, automatic semicolon insertion is NOT significant whitespace and the second sentence completely contradicts the first by pointing out that ASI happens in MOST cases--but not all. If whitespace were truly significant, it would apply in ALL cases.

I don't mean to gang up on you, but that just isn't right. Will you agree that newlines are significant in both Ruby and Python? Because both of those have cases where newlines are not terminal. So I think this absolutist stance is quite unreasonable.

Automatic semicolon insertion is ipso facto indistinguishable from significant newlines in a language where semicolons are statement terminators — both mean that you can end statements with newlines. The fact that JavaScript's ASI rules have awkward holes just means that its ASI rules have awkward holes. Have a look at Go for an ASI language whose creators take the opposite stance of Eich's — even though semicolons are canonically there at the end of statements, you're encouraged to omit them in your code.

Basically, I think you're taking a far stronger stance than is warranted. I don't agree with a lot of what Thomas Fuchs said in the OP, but let's not try to outdo him in absurdity. You can feel that including semicolons is the right choice without ignoring the plain fact that ASI does mean you can end statements with newlines most of the time (and that the inability to do so in a few edge cases does not prove otherwise).
So was the Tour de France, for that matter.
Indeed; why not just draw those keys like a sensible person would?
This is exactly the problem with hiring. No one can take their ego out of the equation. Every single one of these 'hiring hacks' stems from our deep-seated desire to see ourselves as one of the "10x programmers". So we look for the same thing on other people to validate ourselves. When we're in a position to hire, we hire people who match our own particular quirks, re-enforcing the idea that we're one of the best. All of these subjective hiring hacks mean absolutely bullocks.
I went to a high school of >2500 in New Zealand and I found that with so many other people it was easy to find others that were like-minded. I'm sure some people were bullied but to me it barely registered - nothing at all like it's depicted in American TV shows or movies.
I agree, Google moves the kernel to a bigger bandwidth capacity and that is something to be thankful.
Twitter has certain ideas about how their product should be used, and try to enforce those. Unfollowing everyone who doesn't follow you puts some pressure on people to follow people who they would not otherwise follow, which makes them less happy with Twitter.

I think you (and your mom) have done a great job building a site with quality content. From the headline, I was afraid it was going to be a made-for-AdSense type of site, but that doesn't seem to be the case at all.

Also, I can't tell you how much I love the design. I'm far from the target audience, but even I think it's great. Simple, colorful, memorable.

Regarding the redesign - I think you made great choices there too. The old sidebar was definitely cluttered and not as useful. I did like the personal touch in the "letter" from your Mom, but I can see why you removed it. The only thing I might suggest adding is some sort of "social proof" - the old sidebar had the Facebook widget showing 3,000 fans which was good. A FeedBurner widget is probably out of place, but even a blurb about the 200,000+ pins on Pinterest would be an excellent way to demonstrate the quality of the site.

The only other thing I might suggest changing is the date-based part of the archives. A simple list of every post title would probably be more interesting and get more clicks. I don't have any data to back it up, but personally I never look through date-based archives (but I'll always skim a list of titles on a blog's archives). You could also include a short curated list of the "best" or most popular recipes (like what's already on the homepage sidebar, but longer or a text-based list).

EDIT: Just noticed the permalinks - you should really clean those up. Maybe teach your mom how to customize the post slug?

Current URL: http://www.theyummylife.com/blog/2012/03/293/Overnight%2C+No...!

The /blog/ and date parts also feel bloated and entirely unnecessary. I don't usually like blogs that omit the date in the permalink, but recipes in particular are the perfect "evergreen" content that wouldn't need it. Heck, you could probably even kill the post ID.

Suggested improved URL: http://www.theyummylife.com/overnight-no-cook-refrigerator-o...

I think it's as simple as /%post%/ on WordPress's permalinks options page.

(If you're worried about breaking existing links on Pinterest, there are many WordPress plugins that help you redirect the old URLs.)

I don't even know/care about the SEO of it, I just think shorter, cleaner URLs would help with remembering, bookmarking, and sharing links.

EDIT2: Just checked the source and realized it's not WordPress. What CMS is the site running? Movable Type?

As a counterpoint, I don't like the same movies Roger Ebert likes. But his opinions are consistent, and I know well enough where we are different, that I can usually estimate from the text of his reviews how well I'd like a given movie.

Reviewers may prefer attentive staff, but the good reviewers (which exist) know that not everyone shares their preferences. That's the difference between a good review and a bad review: you can translate a good review into your own viewpoint and decide for yourself.

When I think of noisy one star reviews, I mostly think of the one star review for a microprocessor where the guy didn't use a heatsink and the motherboard melted. There are plenty of folk who come across well in writing but are monstrous in person, I'd never expect to trust their restaurant reviews, and I might not be able to identify them either.
I would love such a device. But how does your screen expand? Does it fold or slide out? How bulky is the device in phone mode?

The question is, are you going to find that one reviewer who is like you in the sea of 4-star-giving morons?

I love reading Ebert's movie reviews. I often disagree with him, but he is a mostly fixed point. I can tell if I'm going to like something because, over time, I have developed an understanding of where his tastes and mine align and where they differ. This kind of thing is a lot harder to do online—it requires real work and attention.

In a way, we're disagreeing about where we want to have our statistical anomalies. Do we want the reliable reviewer caught on a bad day, or perhaps recognized by the staff? Or do we want the sea of one-time reviewers, a few of whom had a statistically unlikely bad or amazing experience?
