Actually, most of those lists are based on PHP4 or older (meaning their opinions are fully eight years out of date; a LOT has changed) or are made irrelevant by changing one or two quite well-documented confit settings. The little that's left over are mostly complains that PHP isnt something that it's not trying to be (strongly typed, most commonly)

The only legitimate complaints I read as someone who uses an up-to-date version tend to revolve around the wildly inconsistent naming conventions, and a couple of extensions with rather poor documentation. The recent releases (5.3, 5.4) really did a lot to make it just as feature rich as other scripting languages.

If you want to use something else, be my guest. But I for one am tired of the misinformation that PHP bashers spread. I happen to like a language that doesn't get in my way, has extremely thorough documentation, and almost any question is answered in the first search result. At the same time, I hate the lack of documentation on the actual source (I have a few things that are a huge pain to do in user land, so writing a native extension is a huge pain), and of course the wacky parameters and return values on the old functions.
AFAIK I think it was fixed with the move to an interoperable quirks mode.

People are going to tell you that it's magical rainbow unicorn world changing stuff.

It's really not -- it's just a calendar UI. And at the end of the day, it's about wether you like their UI vs iCal or whatever.
On a related note, a friend of mine has a lot of what she posts flagged as abuse, both on her personal page and on a religious ministry page she's involved with (the posts are not abusive in any way.) Even though she's pretty much locked down her own account, comments she posts to friends' pages often get flagged, sometimes resulting in month-long bans. It seems obvious somebody out there has a grudge and is abusing the flag system; I'm frankly surprised they haven't used the memorial system yet.

A few of us have gone through this same search process, but haven't been able to find an official answer: is there some sort of appeals process? Is there some way to get a manual review, and perhaps some sort of block put in so that the same people can't keep flagging her?

If there is such a process, how can facebook improve the discoverability? If there isn't such a process, is there a person or department we can contact to intervene directly?
I think the major difference is that Microsoft is able to strongarm 99% of PC manufacturers due to their dependence on Windows, whereas Apple can only control their own hardware.

A more apt comparison would be if Dell decided to enforce UEFI secureboot (with no way of disabling it). The users wanting to run linux would be able to simply not buy from Dell anymore, just as right now you can still choose not to buy an iPad.

But the concern here is that Microsoft will control ALL PCs (minus the small minority of computer manufacturers willing to stand up to them), meaning a Linux user's options are to pay more for "unlocked" hardware or jailbreak a Windows 8 machine.

Thanks for the reply!

Concerning the name, I recently realized I was conflicting with someone else's product. I'm working on changing the name.

The download button works for me, could you screenshot what you see please? Screenshot: http://cl.ly/2r2T212S3A3M1x100Y17

Price: I hadn't thought about that, I'll do some more research on pricing (probably some A/B testing would be helpful)

Differentiate from Clear: Any tips there?

And again, thanks a lot for the help!

Padmapper actually does provide their own listing service (that currently goes to Craigslist, though): http://www.padlister.com/

That said, Craigslist UI is terrible for finding apartments, and Padmapper is a fantastic improvement, so I'm very unhappy with this development.
So we need to save Padmapper which scrapes data from Craigslist.

That is fine with me, but let me asks this: if I start a web site which scrape all Craigslist data would you guys back me up? If not, why not?
Not spam. Neither Jim nor I (Eric) posted this... I'm not sure who did. You need to check your sniffer ;)
I for one, commend Craigslist for their commitment to maintaining a strict, consistent, well-defined UI and moreover, for choosing to maintain a relatively modest operation to the benefit of their core users instead of succumbing to the promises of riches that so often end up ruining great services created by the Tech Community. Many of you are saying this is detrimental to consumers, and it may be in the short term, because services like PadMapper really do provide a better experience. But in the long-term, things seem to be much different. Too many recent startups launch with promises of "changing the world" only to be bought and dismantled a few short years later, setting their community adrift. Craigslist's chief benefit to their users, and to the web community as a whole, is that they have a proven track record of stability. Thus, who can blame them for trying to protect their marketplace from getting eroded by outside interests? If they bowed to the current pressure and allowed outside access to their data, the web would risk losing a long-term standard, and, these days, consistent, trust-worthy standards are in short supply.

I've added it to marketJS. I hope I did it right. Great website by the way!
And if the crash is a non-null access violation in IE, please report to MSRC. These do get fixed in the next security update.
Paying for music: my 2 cents (pun intended)
Here's mine:

Jim and Craig,

Padmapper saved me dozens of hours looking for apartments vs. using the Craigslist UI. If you extrapolate this to your entire user base, padmapper can save your users millions of hours each year. That's the equivalent of several human lifetimes saved that can be spent on other pursuits.

Padmapper saves lives. Please unblock them and open your data API.

(Of course, Craigslist is an evil monopoly despite their happy granola reputation, so I don't expect them to listen)

hey moe, let me know when you ship a product rather than spending your entire day trolling on hacker news and tearing down the people who are actually doing something with their lives.

It's not that you criticize or critique other people's work, it's that you're consistently a dick about it.

Nearly all your comments are sarcastic and mean-spirited. IMO you're a liability to the Hacker News community.

One of the great things about hacker news is that we can have an open dialogue with the founders of startups. If you're acting like a jerk, they'll stop being so open.

If people like you keep acting like jerks, you're destroying the spirit of HN and the dialogue this community depends upon.
"At one point in the discussion, Sussman told Minsky that he was using a certain randomizing technique in his program because he didn't want the machine to have any preconceived notions. Minsky said, "Well, it has them, it's just that you don't know what they are." It was the most profound thing Gerry Sussman had ever heard. "
i meant it not as a way of solving the current problem so much as a way of preventing it from happening again. indeed, i haven't any great ideas about how to redirect the massive momentum that craigslist has right now.
You're all the way down the bottom here, but there's a lot of truth behind your snark. :)
There are, for example, real estate websites that are eating the CL for-rent category's lunch right now. Craigslist isn't doing much in response to these competitors, despite the fact that in some markets (particularly SF and NYC where I have experience) Craigslist is now very firmly in second place (or worse).

I've been apartment hunting in NYC lately, and it's mind-boggling what proportion of Craigslist posts are scams compared to other sites like StreetEasy or NYBits.

IMO if Craigslist was run more like a scrappy startup looking for their big exit, they'd have more than responded to these competitors by now. The network effect exists, but IMO is an insufficient explanation of their lack of action.

I agree that the fragmentation is, all things being equal, a bad thing for users - but considering how utterly useless Craigslist's moderation systems are (many categories are full of duplicate posts, spammers, and scammers), and how poor the UX is otherwise (search? hah!), I welcome it. Fragmented sites like PadMapper, StreetEasy, etc, have done way more to ease the life of renters than Craigslist in the last decade.
For the name, think about Clear. They didn't choose "Task" anything because that's not their target; instead, their customers want to be clear about what to do, and clear it off their list. Very smart name IMHO. (On the other hand, the Task app chose "Task" so YMMV).

In the download email address area, don't worry about it yet -- I'm not the typical UI case because I'm on Chrome Ubuntu KDE.

Price: A/B testing is good. Bandit testing is better.

Differentiate from Clear tips: download Clear, use it, then write what your app does that's different. Or ask some friends to use Clear, then ask what they'd pay for you to change, then build that.
My startup is a cargo cult startup
Overtime? What planet are you people from?
Wow, not to come off the wrong way, but this is the most hilarious thing I've read in a long time.
as someone typing this in the apartment they found via a Craigslist ad on PadMapper (and as someone who has recommended it to several people because of the feature). time for a mobile PadMapper with a proper license for the data? :/
Try to put it in an infinite loop!
> Craigslist is in major need of disruption.

I rarely hear anyone mention Craigslist in Canada. We have Kijiji [1] but its UI isn't significantly different than that of Craigslist. The home page is essentially just another long list of categories, etc. Maybe there's something about that design that works exceptionally well for this type of site.

[1] http://www.kijiji.ca
Do you think they're shutting you down in preparation of creating their own version of pad paper an releasing that without your competition?
I had never heard of bandit testing before, googled it and wow thanks for the tip!

Concerning everything, I'll definitely work more on that! Great tips, thanks!
If you don't think Craigslist has an insanely strong network effect, you haven't been thinking about this long/hard enough. Why do you think it's one of the very few websites those people interact with? It's not just because it's simple (though that helps a lot). It's that a) everyone uses it and b) it has everything you could want. It means you don't have to remember 50 random websites, one for each vertical.

I may be in the minority in Silicon Valley, but I'm honestly a really big fan of Craigslist, even despite their C&D'ing me, and I don't think it could or should be "disrupted". I think it's perfect for most of the things on there: lightning fast, few restrictions, community driven. I think it's massively better than that other alternative of having a ton of small websites that each do one thing well, but differently. I shop for new stuff almost exclusively via Amazon for the same reason that I shop exclusively on CL for used stuff.
This is not the equivalent of selling pickaxes in a gold rush - it's more like selling plastic gold nuggets in a gift shop after the gold mines have long since been depleted.
My interpretation is that Nvidia caused the Chinese to lose face, and this what will doom them to lose future contracts. I've been living here in China for 6 months now, and the social aspects of business, like face, are really nuanced, but so so important. I don't really understand them yet.
One of the intended uses of this site is to exchange best practices and learn from the mistakes of other startups. I think that this blog post falls in the second category. And I don't think that there's anything wrong with me pointing it out.

I'm glad it worked out for the folks at Cue, but I think they could have avoided a lot of headaches with some better planning. I'm not suggesting some radical technique I just made up; I'm pointing out that there exist practices that would have prevented a needless scramble.

The circumstances of this story should not serve as an example to other startups, but rather a cautionary tale of what can happen to a shop without the proper release cycle and adequate project management in place. My tone may have been a little rough, sure. I probably wouldn't have even commented if the post had addressed what went wrong and what they learned from it.

I guess heroic last-minute efforts amount to a more entertaining story than adequate planning, but I think we can all agree on which method is a more reliable way to run a successful software shop.
Will this work fine with AutoLayout and constraints?
>Is there ever a concern that the apps will try to create their own network and push Twitter out?

Yes, there is. http://ubermedia.com/
The immediately following text in the CL ToS reads:

As a limited exception, general purpose Internet search engines and noncommercial public archives will be entitled to access craigslist without individual written agreements executed with CL that specifically authorize an exception to this prohibition if, in all cases and individual instances: (a) they provide a direct hyperlink to the relevant craigslist website, service, forum or content; (b) they access craigslist from a stable IP address using an easily identifiable agent; and (c) they comply with CL's robots.txt file ...

Here's what I think: there is no "top ten" things that will guarantee a successful blog. It's mostly about the content, but every blog is different, and will attract a community of followers (or not) based on a number of hard-to-quantify attributes. I would just say, be yourself, and write about interesting things.

Oh and if you think I'm going to follow, friend, like, or recommend a blog that mostly about hawking a product, you're in dreamland.
I don't think it's possible to celebrate Turing's life without mentioning how his life ended. Turing was without a doubt a war hero. His work allowed the Allies to crack the Nazi's enigma code, without which the war could have gone very differently. Nonetheless, a few years after the war the UK government, upon discovering that Turing was gay, prosecuted him for homosexual activities and treated him horrifically. His security clearance was revoked, and it's not hard to imagine that this had something to do with his suicide at age 42. Just something to keep in mind on this gay pride weekend.

It seems the barbarians of medievalism and quackery are always there just outside the gates, ready to drag us back into the dark ages if those who value science over superstition don't proactively keep the light burning.

Anyone know of any Turing events going on in the Bay Area?
According to Wappalyzer 60% of sites that use a JavaScript framework use jQuery:

The Wire as a case study of failed corporate strategy
Dunno, I guess my servers are accessing theirs? There are other ways to get the data, but yeah, I don't really want to piss them off. Was much nicer when I thought they were OK with this kind of thing from Craig's quora comments.

I read all of the copy twice.

The first time through, I was convinced this was a mildly funny parody.

The second time, I was only half-convinced.

This is a real product, and he's marketing it like a Ginsu knife to be absurdist/ironic, right? Those guys sold a lot of knives...!
Yeah, I really don't think Craigslist needs disruption, it's mostly perfect for what it does. It's just for really complex/rare/non-commodity things like housing and cars where I think it needs some help.
Whew, glad I'm not the only one who remembered that. I saw the title and flashed back to 1999, where I was surrounded by lime green and bondi blue plastic clamshells.
Craigslist is free to choose who can consume their data.

That much is completely obvious; I don't think anyone is arguing that Craigslist don't have that right.

People are annoyed because shutting down PadMapper (without any effort to provide similar functionality) is a shitty thing to do. PadMapper was a useful service; now it is not useful. That is unfortunate.

Personally, it also seems hypocritical for Craigslist to claim that they just build what their users' want. I think it is hard to argue that shutting down PadMapper is consistent with that goal.
> It's a small team and that means each person has a lot of responsibility. Don't like ever having to pull an all-nighter? Never want to work a minute past 5? That's OK, but it means you have no real responsibility, and you will be compensated accordingly. Others choose more responsibility, and they man up when the shit occasionally hits the fan.

No, that means you work for mature people who have planning and organizational skills. Having to come in at 3am is not a sign of responsibility, it's a sign of immaturity and failure of management.

Yes, it happens. No, you shouldn't laud it. If they were building bridges, people would be dying - but this isn't bridge building, so it's somehow more okay?
Look... I support trans rights. I live in San Francisco. I have trans friends. But call me old fashioned, we already have a word for "cis-woman," the word is "woman". A lot of people really like that word and don't want it changed, and that doesn't make them a bigot.

EDIT: And from a practical perspective, I think the use of "cis-woman" is harmful to the trans community. It makes them seem kind of like they have an extreme agenda, when they really don't. If trans people really hate being labeled as "different," just co-opt the word woman. Stop labeling yourself AND "cis-women" differently.

Why Product Recalls Make You Less Safe
A startup is not building a bridge. You don't meticulously plan your every move for 3 years before you start.

A startup is jumping off a cliff and figuring out how to build a plane on your way down.

Putting up with that shit is fine when you have founders shares. If you don't, then get ready to clock out and iron the hawaiian shirt. Expecting the engineers to just deal with this is prebuscent.

I don't think we need a slogan to promote Clojure, we need more killer platforms. We need problem-spaces where when someone asks "What's the highest quality implementation of X?" people say, well, clojure has XYZ, it's way ahead of the pack.

Datomic (http://www.infoq.com/presentations/The-Design-of-Datomic) is going to be one of Clojure's killer apps -- it adds durability to Clojure's immutable, persistent data structures, and it rethinks datastore design, from the ground up, to take advantage of modern storage services.

I was using Padmapper this morning to look at listings in the Boston area (I was actually on the phone with a friend at the time extolling the virtues of Padmapper), and went back to look at it again now -- tons of stuff gone.
Nooooo!

I was going to start looking at places in Padmapper next month, for my upcoming move!

Is there any other similar service?
This really sucks. Moving is extremely stressful. Apartment hunting is very difficult and time consuming. I was elated when I stumbled on padmapper. I'm really disappointed that it won't be available next time I move.
I have no idea what drives this extreme negativity on HN, but it's gotten completely out of hand.

Occam's razor says it's just the standard symptom of decline-- i.e. the same thing that afflicts Youtube comments, just on a much smaller scale.
