I've looked into it, but went with Python instead, since it allows easier access to get through proprietary single-sign-on stuff that sits in the way of getting data. Plus I don't need to worry about when I need to drop down to screen scraping, or build up into a web interface—much nicer to just share modules between everything.
Horrible investment. You're buying what people haven't picked up in 27 years. If you want to see what happens when people mass buy based on patterns lookup what happened to 4 letter .coms. There was quite a bubble that's been long since burst. I think a lot are available again (the garbage). This would be similar to buying up all the garbage. There could be a few winners but I highly doubt you could make enough money to carry the rest.

That's true, but even the most benign of pharma drugs like aspirin, ibuprofen, and tylenol kill around 7,500 people per year combined. Whereas no one is dying from marijuana, aloe, cranberry juice, etc. Virtually all of the plant deaths in the US are from people eating poisonous plants, either accidentally or to commit suicide. Despite the tens of millions of Americans using plant medicines each year, I doubt there are more than a few dozen adverse drug events from all of them combined.

Uh, I haven't seen PHP-ers go to conventions with pornographic slide decks, unlike some users of some more fashionable language.

There are some real problems in the PHP community, like the terrible mismatch between the PHP core and PEAR developers, and the fact that nobody's got the guts to declare PEAR a failure, put it down, and start something new. However, other than that, the people I know involved with PHP are reasonable people.

For me the trouble w/ PHP is that it works too well.

I've got a small project w/ 40 hours budgeted for it, 20 of those are software dev, and 20 are corporate identity and marketing.

I have libraries that smooth over the worst flaws of PHP and answers to error handling, sysadmin, and all that. I know the odds are very good I can slap this thing onto one of my production servers, push the 'go' button, and have it work for 2 or 3 years before I need to look at it again.

Ruby may be nicer, and Java is better for computationally complex and intensive stuff (not this) but adding a new language to the mix probably means more hosting costs (maybe abother $60-120 a month) and probably turns that 20 hours to 60. It will take me a long time to have faith in the stability of another hosting system too.

The reality is I nail out quite a few of these mini projects, some of which succeed, and many of which just smoulder. With PHP I can get them done quick and done well and have low hosting costs and little maintenance burden.

To get me to switch you need to quit complaining about the faults of PHP and build my faith that your hosting system is a 'wooden round' that won't cause my 20-hour project to cost me 50+ hours a year in maintenance costs.

Virtual reality vs. PTSD: Helping combat vets heal
Having been in this situation before (albeit never missing something as monumental as the birth of my child), I would add another reason for this type of faulty prioritization : vanity.

It's so easy to be tempted by the notion that I am in fact so crucial and important to the business at hand that I have to attend. Flaunting the notion of my own importance was even bizarrely empowering. It's of course completely hollow and meaningless, and ultimately self-defeating.

I, on the other hand, hand a completely different experience with my provider (Mediacom). Their rules (at the time - about 5 years ago) seem to be:

3. We do access control, and service level determination based on MAC. Fill out the silly web form with your account number and CM MAC.

Who wants to be the Jeremy Ashkenas of PHP?

There, a perfect opportunity for language designers to shine. Nothing fancy, just fork and fix. No need to come up with new paradigms. Nothing to make you sweat. Just fork the damn thing and fix the warts with a scalpel.

It is and will be the most used language for web development. If that is not a shiny medal in your chest and a place in history books, I don't know what is.

Any takers?

>All employees are so loyal to this company that you can't even imagine one speaking about such insights.

I think it is more of fear about losing their job rather than loyalty. It is not uncommon to find that any leak will be tracked down and the leaker summarily fired.
I can attest to having previously gone through and purchased some of these. I had que9.com (why9, lol) as well as a-fk.com which I thought was quite clever...

It really just ends up being a waste unless it's easily to both memorize and type. That coupled with a great idea, execution, and marketing, of course :)

Loyalty? More like fear. I'm not saying that we should be privy to the inner-workings of every company, but a lack of transparency is hardly a culture worthy of praise.
I'm not surprised. It has a very slow processor, and for this kind of processing you need a lot of power. In fact, I think the (original?) developer of Word Lens said he first made it in Assembly to make it fast enough even for an iPhone 4.

Plus, your phone is also on the ARMv6 architecture, and for the kind of optimization they need to do, they didn't want to bother with that older architecture.

For the record right now I have a phone with a similar processor as well, but planning on switching to a Nexus this fall.

It's a fun exercise. I've tried a lot of similar stuff before (http://www.kevinohashi.com/17/04/2011/other-24000-available-...). The biggest problem I ran into with n-grams was trying to evaluate what was good in an automated way. Using stuff like Norvig's data to try and weight became futile. Stuff like ededed.com would rank exceptionally high if you weight by frequency. That's a bad name. I tried not counting dupes, giving dupes decreasing value as they increased, etc. Nothing really produced results that weighted nicely when I looked at them. This strategy did find the crap names at the bottom though. The problem was the 75% or so that was left was mixed.

I am curious if you tried to algorithmically sort the lists by any sort of nice/value/brand factor?
I believe this article is missing the point. When you're physically present at the office, you get plenty of opportunities to have conversations with different people and voice your opinion, revealing your thought patterns, values and abilities. These often complement and boost people's observations of you during actual assigned work.

This effect is not about "passive face time" or merely people seeing that you're there from a distance. It is about plugging into the whole environment in the office - which is what you need your leaders to be good at.

Taking it further, a bunch of great happenstance opportunities really come up by being in the right place at the right time talking to the right people hitting the right chords. You will never stumble upon these opportunities if you're constantly away, chucking away at your "assigned" duties.

Exactly. Not so much like Avatar as, say, Willard.
I'm not American and although I've just read the Wikipedia article on that case I don't think I fully understand it or it's relevance as it seems only to apply when they conflict with the constitution which I don't believe is the case here and is a different matter entirely in my view.

If party A has a valid patent party B must license or work around. I don't understand why it would be just for party A to have to prove actual damages. That they have been denied license fees OR elected not to license to retain exclusivity is surely evidence it self of damage.

Had the judge taken one look at the patents and declared them obvious and lacking novelty And given the Patent Office an earful I would fully have approved but to me he seems to have said even valid patents are only enforceable in limited conditions which should be set out in law.
There's nothing magical about proximity. It's all just a question of sufficiently high-bandwidth, low-friction communication.

There's no getting around our monkey brains' desire to see other people's faces and bond with them. But that's just a technical problem: high quality video that starts instantly, or that is always on, provides the same stimulus. The fact that most remote workers don't have that kind of setup just shows why we're not quite there yet.

So the problems with remote work that people discuss endless are not problems with remote work per se. They're problems with our nascent, not-quite-good-enough-yet tools for remote work. But the tools are getting better really fast.
To be honest I don't personally think the traffic that some of the accounts running under the free/$20 plans are sustainable. I know for my part we've been running several very large sites through their service which cut our bandwidth usage approximately in half. That's the level of bandwidth that was costing about $3k+ all by itself per month.

Doing the math, I think regardless of Cloudflare and their economies of scale, they will start having to charge more at some point for traffic. I know we'd pay it but I have to imagine for large traffic, but small income sites (which 4chan counts among them I think?) this could present an issue.
Would totally make sense given it works best in the two browsers most closely tied to the underlying OS.
That was not immediately clear, wish that had been in the title. I was curious how you were scraping private PDFs and open sourcing such a thing.
Inasmuch as this post is about encouraging people to follow Wheaton's law and give a little more benefit-of-the-doubt to those actually in the trenches, I concur.

But I read it as dipping toward "defer to consensus" and I'm not sure that's necessarily desirable.

Haven't we seen that pressing forward with your own pet theory, in relative ignorance to the size of the challenge being undertaken, is a key driver of innovation?

So, yes to improving tone, presentation and not immediately assuming everyone else is an idiot. But, no to actually deferring to their research, their solutions, or even their statement of the problem.
This happened back in March. https://blogs.oracle.com/R/entry/r_execution_in_oracle_datab.... It's a desperate attempt to co-opt the Red Hat approach to riches via open source support. Revolution R has been doing pretty well in this game, so Oracle is replicating. The only contribution back to the community so far has been to do a few mild updates to ROracle, the R to Oracle connector.

Oracle has basically wrapped up R and made it embedded in the Database. One nice touch is that they have made overloaded versions of most of R's base and stat functions, and let them handle the "ore" dataframes; these overloaded versons are basically wrappers on the "big-data" functions inside the DB.

If this is really interesting to you, here are a set of PDFs describing Oracles approach: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/options/advanced-...

Bad news is: you are limited to Oracle approaches to scale and growth; while there's some to love, there's also lots to hate.

I worry that some of this commercialization of R is going to cause trouble, as we start having non-compatible forks of R creating non-replicable analyses. If I build a great model that can only be replicated via some vendor's proprietary approach, then it may be great for my business, but it doesn't move the field forward.

A drag-and-drop system would severely limit your options and creativity. Compare coding in HTML/JS/CSS to using Frontpage or Dreamweaver.

Furthermore, you are posting on a site full of engineers and developers. If you are really interested in building something, drop me a line. My email is in my profile.
> either call one of your columns "modified" or "created" and hack it in like that.

Hack it in like that? CakePHP is convention over configuration, and the framework manages "modified" and "created" for you which is pretty nice. Not something I expected somebody to complain about, but perhaps I'm misunderstanding the issue.

The barrier to entry is that they have the largest marketplace. Anyone entering this space needs to acquire both buyers and sellers, and convince them that their network is more valuable.

Okay, I was making the assumption of using standard x86-style hardware. :-)
Everyone finds fade-ins to be annoying. There is so much work done by front-end engineers to get pages to load as quickly as possible. The idea that content should not be shown immediately is contrary to numerous studies by companies like Google, Microsoft, and Amazon.
Was just commenting on how I'm currently using it, feel free to replace work with anything you like. I guess like you, I'm baffled too, as comments like "Work isn't everything" baffle me as it's based entirely on assumption and failure to see beyond your scope of understanding.

Whilst I agree critical analysis is great, general discussion can be somewhat impressionable on newcomers. Whether you realize it or not, PHP bashing / over praising will been seen by newcomers and they won't know where the foundation lies.

Why must we push ideas and concepts onto people, why can't we give our points and let people make up their own mind. Personally I don't want to drift through life with people telling me what to use or what not to use, I'd prefer to see the points and make up my own mind without being preached to.
This is a nice, gentle introduction, but if you're going to start using modules you might as well go slightly farther and use something like RequireJS (http://requirejs.org/) or Browserify (https://github.com/substack/node-browserify).
What's with the CakePHP FUD the last couple days on HN?
They have a competitor in HomeAway already. They are a public company with an IPO last year (NDAQ:AWAY). Airbnb is the new entrant and doing a good job at growing more quickly right now and based on these estimates could pass them in revenue in 2013. AWAY has reported 242M in revenue (TTM ending Q112) with ~35-40% YoY growth.
For quick scan lists like this I'd either want to have small result lists above the fold so I can keep pressing 'Next' without scrolling down or huge lists (like leandomainsearch has) where I don't need to press 'Next'.
I think there is a place for productive criticism, and asking questions like "Why is it so hard to scale 4chan?" or "Why couldn't Amazon keep their cloud service online?"

But the key is you must be asking the question to learn, not just to ridicule. The intent can't be just to say "I could do a better job if I was doing it" but to discuss what shortcomings are there or improvements could be made with the goal of learning.
It really doesn't matter where you host the static/image files, as long as it's completely separate from the application server and doesn't eat into it's resources.
I get it, tks Greg. I originally did not hardcode the js function in the href bookmarklet attribute to ease development process. Since it's effectively a good concern, I will hardcode it.

EDIT:
Updating the code to escape parentheses is pain. I will leave it like that for the moment. Like greg said, your best option for now is to copy http://fontbomb.ilex.ca/js/main.js . Sry!
You might consider trying an "accel" alias modifier, so that you don't have to specify both Ctrl and Cmd. That's what Mozilla does: https://developer.mozilla.org/en/XUL_Tutorial/Keyboard_Short...

If you really do want fine-grained control, for example, so that Cmd works on OS X, but it maps to something else entirely on other platforms, you can still use Ctrl and Cmd.
What's not to understand? It's so simplistic it can't be simplier.

You just have a thread with no hierarchy (except for the opening post). You can "reply" on some post in some thread, but the "reply" is just marked by post ID.

This was one of my first thoughts as well, sort of. Alternatively, is it possible to model each neuron when there are only around 8k? Maybe estimate the visual, audio, and tactile bandwidth of the wasp and feed the simulated neurons a stream of simulated environmental data and just let the connections evolve.
I'm aware of HomeAway. That company has a different business model which is more of an online classifieds site. Pay $300 per year and post your home. Potential renters can browse for free. All transactions are person-to-person, whereas Airbnb takes a more active approach and handles money collection, complaints, etc.

Per my research, I think HomeAway does better in the traditional week-long vacation rental market whereas Airbnb is more geared up for the shorter duration stays in urban areas.
Just a heads up. I'm currently running through a list of 32,488 possible 5-char combinations using a combination of high frequency bigrams, trigrams, and high frequency beginning and ending letters. When I'm done and get a new DB table I'll put up a new link for you :-P

It'll take a number of hours to complete (ew), but I'll post something when I can. I'm actually off on vacation to get married tomorrow morning, so if it doesn't finish before 5 today I won't have it up for over a week...

As someone who lived in the Bay area and moved away, I can affirm to that. There is a vibe in the Bay area that you don't get in other places. I sort of felt it in a few areas of Manhattan (near NYU and DUMBO). But outside of these parts, I don't feel it. I moved out of NYC ... I'm less than an hour away. The scene feels DEAD.

That said, I'm not planning on moving to SF/SV any time soon. I'm a bit older now ... getting ready to nest, buy a house, etc. I have friends who have bought starter homes in the Bay for the price of mansions in other parts of the US. I might be making a mistake but that's my plan too.
Tim O’Reilly: Google’s got problems
Perhaps this is good for trademarkable names that will impress investors.

There are still many names of the form

XY.com

where X and Y are two keywords relevant to your business. Very little is certain in SEO, but I've never met an SEO who didn't believe that keywords in the domain name will help you get traffic from people looking for "X", "Y" and "X Y".

The cost effectiveness of finding a good domain name with keywords is excellent for a "free" name and even fair in some cases if you spend $1k for a domain name. Compare that to the high costs and risks of link building and content creation.
