This would be great library -- only if they begin to support a wide range of commonly used APIs. Idea is good, so should be the execution.
Not only does personalization change things around, but time of day and IP location seem to affect things as well. I think.

So I have a site that was ranking around #18. On weekends, it drops down to around #30. Then at some times of day it might rise as high as #16.

It's like Google is also creating a time/location model of content.

All this stuff with Google is all so much reading the tea leaves, though. Very frustrating. If your marketing consisted of having a few signs around town you could easily go out and count the traffic and observe patterns. With Google, it's much more random and complex.
hey this is cool.... using it right now
Agreed, I think cup is irrelevant outside of US - UK - AUS. Here it's just like saying drink "4 glasses of milk" - how much is this exactly? As usual it's a bit obnoxious to think your only customers / users come from those countries.

I believe deep down Indians being bad in athletics is similar to being a entrepreneur is hard in India. The reason is - individual freedom or individual decision making has never been our strong point. So, the one who walks off the beaten path is always unfairly judged by the society. Sure, those who succeed on this path are worshipped like gods here, but when you are starting small, you are up against huge odds. And it starts from your family. It is hard work.

How many people can write clean, efficient and maintainable JavaScript?

And Erlang is not the only sane option for this kinds of problems, there is also Go. And to a lesser degree you can do the same in many other languages given the right libraries and careful thinking, it takes more effort than with Erlang or Go, but almost anything beats JavaScript in both performance and code clarity (both at the 'low' code-readability level, and at the high 'project organization and design' level).

Yes, I know that's really old, but it's what I'm using on the road (for complicated reasons).

I'll try your app later on a rather more modern system - it looks interesting.

Added in edit: Now had a look - really good. Will investigate more later, but I can see why it won't work on older, less capable browsers. Still a shame, but understandable. Nice work.
This whole thing is a bit of a joke. I especially find it hilarious that they're calling it app.net only because they spent probably a decent sum of money on a 3 letter domain for their (failing?) marketing tools.

App.net as a name makes absolutely no sense (and not like other senseless names like Wii or whatever, but as in it already means something else) and quite frankly I'm shocked that people like Gruber and Marco are on board with this ridiculous bound to fail idea.

Also why on earth they adopted the Kickstarter model instead of the Pinboard.in model is beyond me. Can only imagine they got a lust for instant #swag

There's a rumor site focusing exclusively on Nikon? : o
andybak's point is a good one though, if you get an objective SERP then that's not going to tell you anything very useful as all your potential customers are getting a personalised version.

Looks like an opening: have a group of users sorted across demographics that you can automatically send a query too. The system returns the SERPs from each user and compiles a master SERP showing position based on demographics of the user? So you can, say, run a search for "search engine" across 1000 user machines and then look at average placement (with variance) for Windows 7 users aged 30+ in USA, or whatever.

You could probably do a similar thing with Tor (or a botnet) but the relationship between the SERP data and the demographic of the user is probably the most pertinent information and that would be lost then.

His wife is most probably furious. Women are in general much more averse to risk-taking than men (especially after having kids). At least that is the case with my wife. Every crazy idea I have, I run it first through my wife. She shreds 99% of them ;). "Think of the children", "How will we pay mortgage", "In fall we have to renovate older child's bedroom". Etc.
Nice. i think to use it my django projects.
I'm too skeptical.

This looks like the sort of post you'd write if you wanted lots of people to search for "search engine", normally and with Tor, and click on your result; wide-scale social engineering. Like a pick-pocket putting up a "beware of pick-pocketers" sign.

Would be interested to see if there is a surge in the stats for visits from Google SERPs (over Tor) following this post.
I wonder how far you could push Java with a naive Thread implementation. If you reduce the per-thread stack size you can quite easily get 20K on very modest hardware.
I use Node in production. The main thing I like about it is that looking at system usage graphs while number of users grow, only thing that is going UP is bandwidth ;)

I'd really like to see a story of someone really having 100k connected browsers. My online game currently peaks at about 1000 concurrent connections, and node process rarely lasts longer than 2 hours before it crashes. Of course, using a db like Redis to keep users sessions makes the problem almost invisible to users, as restart is instantaneous. I'm using socket.io, express, crypto module, etc.

I'd really like to see real figures for node process uptime from someone having 5000+ concurrent connections.
Ketchup and Rockets | The Math behind pleated sauce Cups
I got in trouble for a bunch of things. I wrote a utility that was supposed to cover up the "system tray" clock (with an identical one with context menu) so I could run command line apps on school computers, but the system thought it was a virus. (I guess Delphi 3 apps named iexplore.exe are suspicious? :P)

Then I embedded the Game Maker installer in a Powerpoint presentation, since it was one of the few ways to be able to run a foreign exe (along with zip files, but they are more obvious targets and they're more likely to inspect them).

Then I exposed (didn't exploit) a serious XSS issue in the school's VLE, which of course they gave me a final warning for.

Edit: The School's IT policy, previously a single A5 page, became two-and-a-half A4 pages thanks to me.
'School in my opinion is an abstraction that isn't necessary anymore. A relic of the industrial age, when information was sparse and communities were largely illiterate.'

While this may be true for many people, there are plenty of parents out there who would do a much worse job than school would in teaching their children.

Sure, there are parents who are great at homeschooling, and who might even have time to do it (some of them have jobs, I hear), but this is not true for the vast majority.

Schools, in addition to providing some modicum of education, offer children a place to be while their parents are at work, and one where they can interact with others of their age in a controlled environment.
This is probably the best news that can come out of the situation. It's someone already in the community, and familiar with the needs of the platform going forward.
Really great talk. Thanks! You hear a lot of people talking about how to succeed more, faster, etc. but very few people seem to mention all the little side effects of being a die hard entrepreneur, or how to deal with them.

This is a very good point. Ideally, one should be able to explicitly override personalization-related input as much as possible, so that one can freely explore what kind of results other groups of people get. I suspect that Google are reluctant to provide such an interface as it might make it easier to game the system.
I'm not so sure about the promotion part. I doubt if anybody realistically expected India's medal tally to be too different from what was achieved. I personally am quite happy with this, compared to what we got earlier and the kind of importance that sports (except cricket) get in mainstream Indian life.

"German comments removal" sounds like a lot of work. It is always very annoying when programmers comment (or even name their variables/functions/whatever) using another language than English.

Most APIs are based on English so this makes a very messy combination. And yet people do it often, hindering the possibility of foreigners to contribute.

A recent example I've run into is the WYSIWYG editing extension for ShareJS, with all comments in Russian. I'd love to reuse it, but this just keeps me away:

I think it also has to do with where your IP is geolocated. I was testing search results for my site, Scribophile, which is a writing community. When searched from a fresh US IP, it ranked 3rd in the results. When searched from a fresh EU IP, it ranks 4th, with a UK-only writing website taking the 3rd spot.

I'd say you should use black sparsly. As the article says, most things you think of as black are not really black, and when you have used black somewhere, you can no longer make anything even darker.

Why do so many people care about the layout of their Facebook profile?
Yes, it's a flaw that you can get into someone's account. I was just saying that the credit card information being that available is not a big problem in my mind. Amazon clearly think the credit card should be kept more secure than the account, otherwise the whole number could be shown rather than just the last four digits, and I agree.

Ideally, there should be a feature that lets you see the personalized (that is, real) search results of others. Maybe divided into target groups ("programmers", "male users under 20", etc.). Of course, everyone's real search results will be slightly different, incorporating "+1"s of Google+ friends for example.

But, I assume, the bulk of the search ranks will be the same for people in the same (advertising) target group. (I have nothing to back up that assumption - it just would be the most sensible thing to do, I think.)

When someone says they had an idea first, it's almost always not true. I didn't know any similar technology but I was sure that statement was bullshit. Comments here proved me right. Just say "before them" instead of "first" and you won't end up looking like a douche (well, a smaller douche because it's still bad to cry about things like this).

PS: It might be that the writer came up with the word "first" as it is not cited.

Nice blog post, looking forward to more details about how you leveraged AngularJS. Though I think the service isn't for me, I'd value more the reviews of a million people over the Internet than those of my friends. Just because we're friends it doesn't mean we have the same tastes for movies.
So, I ordered a Google Nexus 7 from a seller in the UK (not available in Germany). I really, really wanted to have that thing in my hands.

Unfortunately the guy used the Royal Mail and their daughter TNT for shipping, so no 'PackStation' for me.

Due to the totally useless tracking information I couldn't be at home, the thing was delivered to a nearby (just 200m!) shop. This shop opened at 10 and - due to summer holidays and reduced staff - closed at 15 again during that week. How braindead is this concept? Even a post office is more reliable and I've come to expect the PackStation service. The packet arrives as soon as possible (no 'customer not present' loops, no 'delivered to a neighbor' crap where I need to hunt that guy down and hope that he's home/available/opens the door, no trip to a weird shop (an antique furniture shop in my case), relying on their opening hours), I'll be notified instantly (SMS as soon as they close the door of that locker) and can pick it up whenever I want (like, drunk on a Sunday morning at 4 am - given I remember my PIN).

If you consider that these boxes are available ~everywhere~ in larger cities, you usually can schedule the delivery to a place that is on your way to work, home, the gym or near your favorite restaurant.

tl/dr:
The service is worlds apart from 'You can pick up your thing in a shop at this address'.
I sniffed the traffic of my schools network, performing an ARP-poisoning attack, and then redirecting all traffic to https://internal.schoolwebadmin.thing.com to http://internal.schoolwebadmin.thing.com and caught the person attempting to login to update the internal web site of the school. Then I updated internal website-info, changing the https://accessitfromoutside.com link to http and started sniffing that server again. Over-night I got around 400 passwords from both teachers and students one of which was the administrators password for the local domain, where I could do many more things. But then it stopped being fun and I played counter strike again.
Serious question. Is that Dave Grohl playing the senator?

Tapestry is hands-down the worst framework I've ever used. It destroys your ability to reason about your code, because what you write looks like java but no longer follows java semantics (Want to initialize your page objects? You can't, you're expected to null-check your fields and reinitialize them every time you want to access them. Want to pass a parameter into a page you're linking to? Put an annotated field in your page that's typed to the other page, and call a magically-named method on it. I wish I was making this up). And it forces you to spread your flow logic between your pages and your templates; standard practice for repeater components is to have the logic for displaying the repeated component read the data it needs from a field on the outer component object, which is populated by the loop in the template. To get any sense of where data is coming from you have to flick back and forth between two files (actually usually more like six, because when you have multiple components on a page they're not isolated from each other in any way).

If you want a good web framework for Java, try Wicket. Components are real objects written in standard java, and proper separation between logic and presentation is enforced (because wicket markup files can't contain any logic).

Thanks for responding. I'm afraid my question was unclear. This was supposed to be an answer to how could contributing to an open source project be a zero sum game?

I find it interesting that you prefer the broader "aggregate of the internet" ratings, rather than ratings based on your friends. The longer we run the site, the more we find it's a bit polarising. Some people like the average of the internet, some people like what's essentially a systematic word of mouth setup.
