Sure, that's fine mine.
As a fanatical user of calendaraboutnothing in the past, I'm stoked to see the streak graph on the profile page. As others have mentioned, it can be extremely motivating!

However, I really don't care for most of my popular repos or some of the external ones I've contributed to. My ideal would be to hide repos that I don't care about and to highlight the ones that I want to showcase.

The "Contribution Activity" stuff is totally fine, but given how much the public repos reflect the "personality" of an individual, I am a little saddened that it's being lost in the sea of popularity. It'd be nice to be able to reclaim some control over that.

Edit: To clarify, two of my popular repos with a few hundred watchers between them are efforts I spent all of a few evenings on. I am as proud of them as some notes I scribbled last week. In contrast, I have repos which I've poured months of effort into which I would rather highlight.

Likewise, one of the repos to which I recently contributed is of such subpar quality that I'd rather not be publicly associated with it so prominently. Whilst I'm happy to help others out, knowing that it'd be displayed in such a prominent manner acts as an anti-incentive to partake in low quality projects.

So, if any GitHubbers are listening... please replace "Popular Repositories" with "Highlighted Repositories" and give us more control over what gets displayed with regards repos we've contributed to. And, oh, whilst I'm at it, perhaps "Most Recent Streak" would be more motivating than "Current Streak" which I imagine would be at an awe-inspiring 0 for many of us way too often.
In chrome, the "Email" label is pushed down, below the checkbox.
The thing is that the RFCs use MAY and SHOULD for these things. Not MUST or SHALL. So it's implementation-defined from the get-go.

I presume that the people writing HTTP servers and clients usually found it easier to allocate a fixed-length char array.
The Autodesk creative tools (Maya, Inferno, Smoke, etc.) probably fit the 'more complex and used in big creative industry, super expensive' ticket that you're looking for.

Don't think there's really a replacement for photoshop though. The autodesk tools are more to replace the After Effects / Premier / etc. parts of the creative suite.

Nice! A link to your gists (e.g. https://gist.github.com/username) would also be nice to have on your profile page.
Having competition, even free competitors, doesn't have to be a deal breaker. If you have a superior product you can still make sales.

Even if you don't have a better product, you can still make sales by being more visible, being the first product people find/try when they begin searching. If they like the product, they might buy without even knowing there was a free competitor. It's a less noble strategy than having the best product, but more profitable than having a perfect product no-one ever finds. (Ideally you should have a great product and high visibility, of course.)

Landing Page: changed on me while I was reading the first slide, suggestion: on hover pause slideshow

Contact Form: Major pop in due to the form element shifting in place when animating, suggestion: avoid the .toggle and use CSS3 transitions, specifically I would use a linear 350ms transition on the top property and move from -400px to 0px. (fallback to JS animation if the browser doesn't support CSS3 transitions).

Vic Gundotra is a master of bullshit, in the Frankfurt sense: when he speaks, he shares nothing of his own beliefs or opinions. Rather, his words are the party line, and nothing more than the party line; he doesn't say the things he says because he believes they are true, but because he wants you to behave as though they are true.

In this he is hardly alone, as a spokesman for a major corporation: but Google used to be better than that, and Google especially used to be a place where the top brass would tell the truth internally. It was a place where any Googler could speak up on a Friday company meeting and ask pointed questions and expect to get a real answer. Not so with Vic Gundotra: he bullshits internally just as hard as he does externally. You can't crack him; no matter how obvious his boosterism for G+, he never stops grinning and blustering and insisting that everything is awesome. It is severely off-putting.
I'm Australian. I insure with BUPA, who have gobbled up the insurer who gobbled up my original insurer (Community Mutual). Because we have a public health system as a backstop, private health cover is a no-brainer in this country. I'm paying about $550 per quarter.

That said: one thing that annoys me about the Australian private health market is how dumb shit I get bundled in my payment.

I don't want a bloody reiki rebate. I'd rather you refunded my MRIs, thanks ("not an outpatient service").
This could easily go both ways, though. After enough time settled down, you may no longer be capable of the nomadic lifestyle, but decide you want it badly. Seems to me that either way is a risk. Is there any reason to think that the conventional path is less of a risk, other than the fact that nearly everybody takes it?

My earlier point was a narrow one about an analogy to driving laws. In general, I'm inclined to agree with you.

A big factor for me here is that you can book and pay through AirBnB. That does make it different from the classifieds or craigslist style ads.

Just a quick note to say that I did not mean to encourage replies to this comment by e-mail instead of using the comment system -- It's plenty useable enough for me to engage, and it's not until I reread my comment after the edit window had closed that I realized I gave that impression.
There are quite a few CSS bugs in chrome/windows. You see it a lot with the titles overlapping themselves and with the link hovers.
Compare these two searches from a mathematics & CS related area of philosophy:

http://scholr.ly/results/?q=bayesian+epistemology&x=0...
http://scholar.google.com.au/scholar?q=bayesian+epistemology...

Scholrly omits big names like Hartmann and Talbott. Most of the author section is actually filled with non-people.

The publications section doesn't show me citation count or any reason why it might be relevant such as keyword highlights or score. I'd have a very hard time trusting these results that have such clear omissions.

'Causal Inference' at least includes Judea Pearl as a top hit but clicking the link http://scholr.ly/paper/1147771/the-mathematics-of-causal-inf... sends me to a page that is 80% white space and not very informative.

Then compare http://scholar.google.com.au/citations?user=bAipNH8AAAAJ&... with http://scholr.ly/person/5080037/judea-pearl

Why do I want to look at an empty page with a picture of an owl? (Pearl by the way is a rockstar CS professor with 400+ papers and nearly 50k citations - you list a single paper of his)

My biggest pain point of academic search is knowing where I should spend my limited time researching. GS does an OK job of pointing me in the right direction but scholrly wastes my time with numerous dead ends.
Your contact form doesn't look right for me in Chrome (the "email" and "pm" options are pushed down a line). Also at 1024x768, the page wiggles when I scroll down by dragging the middle mouse button, but the extra horizontal content is just unintentional-looking whitespace.
I'm in that boat.

In your headings, my eyes were immediately drawn to the block letter text. It was only after I processed it and realized that your message couldn't be "we do mundane things" that it occurred to me to re-read it. Then I found the strikeout and scribblings.

You might consider beefing up the strikeout line and using a stencil font with a more fetching shade of red. Perhaps laid over the revoked text.

Or just drop the idea altogether -- I mean, what's the message there? "We were going to tell you how ordinary we are, but at the last minute we decided we're actually pretty extraordinary after all."

Libertarians often claim that laissez-faire will always do better than intervention. From the above, it should be relatively obvious that depending on the government and depending on how non-stationary the economy is, laissez-faire could work either quite well or exceptionally poorly.

It's the possibility that laissez-faire could do a much worse job than regulations that libertarians refuse to accept.
If you could be so kind, could you clarify exactly who could expect these salaries? Are these entry/mid/senior level? 1, 5, 10 years experience? Top-tier developers only?

I ask because there are plenty of companies hiring at sub-$70k salaries and they're having no trouble filling their positions with decent programmers. Are the programmers I know selling themselves short, or is $140k for extraordinarily experienced and talented programmers only?

An ordinary suburban accountant can give you good advice about the basics of cash control.

That the director of the board had access to the accounts boggles my mind. Board members are not management, they shouldn't have this kind of access.

Also, if you've kicked someone out in a dispute over cash ... get on the phone at 8am and lock them out of your accounts. Or get onto the internet banking admin screen (you know where that is, right?) and lock them out of your accounts.

When I bought some bitcoins, I did it with cash. I took money to a bank teller, and wired it to an account; then the service sent me the bitcoin via email. I never showed ID, so there was no way to track it to me. I suppose if someone cared enough to track a cash withdrawal they could do that, but in no way was my bank account connected with a bitcoin transaction at any time.

Two answers:

- Theoretical discussions about UX are often meaningless. Create wireframes and UX test them.

- Look in UX pattern databases to help you decide what to test. Sometimes your design choices will have previous significance to your users that are different from what you intended.

True, though it's interesting that you can purchase UVerse at an AT&T Mobility store. (I have a friend who's an AT&T store manager) While it has the appearance of being one company, I guess it's the rough equivalent of an "affiliate" sale.

Am I correct in assuming you're all under 25-years old? Hey, there's nothing wrong with that. But I would suggest a little bit more gravitas for the website.

And the stock photographs make the website look like a travel guide.

Having said that, I think the website is very well done, if somewhat "busy", and I predict you'll soon have more work then you can handle.
They apply so far as we willingly ignore the distinction between moving and copying.
Under your scenario they would probably even have a good idea of which machine was the customer's, but without confirmation they can't risk giving away another customer's machine.
Just say "He worked here. I do not recommend his services".

That's not a particular statement about the person, it gives no version of events. If pressed, explain that this all you can say. You simply don't recommend him.

Inventing a Component Data Model for D3
It's a wonderfully designed site; I love how the splash page draws your eyes to where they belong, without being overly obtrusive. One criticism: on http://redstamp.ca/development/, you may want to change the menu that changes position as you scroll. Maybe keep it fixed to the top of the screen as you scroll down, but when you scroll up, it should stay in position until it hits the bottom of the screen, and then begin to move up once it's out of the viewable area. When you're at the top of the page, it can move back to its home. That's just a suggestion on top of what's already very nice work.

Great looking site, and I love the strike-through approach you used in your marketing copy.

However, I did notice a couple issues:

1. There seems to be a few problems with the font you are using, as some of the words seem to run into each other, at least on Chrome. Some of the sub-headings on this page are borked, for example: http://redstamp.ca/design/

2. I like the carousel, but found it fairly annoying when it would continue to auto-scroll after I had clicked on one of the Design, Development, or Marketing links. I eventually noticed the pause button, but I think it would be far more intuitive if you automatically paused the auto-scroll when a user clicks one of those links, as with that action they are showing an interest in that particular service, and probably need time to read the content on that carousel panel.

:)
This page is proof you can make pretty websites. Sadly, it might also evidence that you may stink at marketing. Its way to busy for me to follow a distinct line, and there is abosolutely no structured copy for me to read. Plus you put the very little copy you have in a carrousel and made it hard to read with some weird color choices.

Now, luckily for you, I'm not your target market ( I think, there is no way for me to know ). Which makes me ask the following question:

Who is your target market? If you answer with every business in Vancourver who wants/needs a website done, then you are taking the wrong route here.

Note: I'm not trying to rain on your parade. So dont take it as an insult, but as real feedback from someone who does copywriting/marketing.

Indeed, "one in a billion" might mean that our civilization is the civilization one among among a billion life supporting planets.

How does civilization last after it acquires the ability to transmit and receive radio waves? Human certainly seems to be at least threatening portions of earth ecology. Suppose alien ecologies are, on average, more fragile and easily disrupted by the unintended consequences of transformation. Civilizations might exist but be a quite transient phenomena over the galaxy. It is very hard to predict, naturally but interesting to speculate.

You originally wrote:

The only point anyone is trying to make is that this is incorrect; retrieving multiple records is a perfectly good use case for having a URL that is more than 1KB (though there may be pragmatic reasons to avoid it).

As a former military spouse, I find it sort of amusing that people think a nomadic lifestyle is somehow inherently in conflict with having a family. If you also have a good income and scads of freetime, I can't see what the problem is. It sounds like an ideal family situation, where you can be a good provider and also have time for both the wife and the kids. What's not to love about that?

Surely I can't be the only woman on the planet who ever viewed my husband's "nomadic" career choice as a feature not a bug.
The separation makes sense to me because of screen real-estate. On a tiny screen, there's only so much functionality that I want to offer in one single view. To your other point, Eto and Xwt ride on top of .NET/Mono which is stable and current, so you only need to learn one language and then you can address native widgets, even a WebBrowser component. Think of the possibilities...the whole embedding a browser in a native window has been done many times, but how many of those kits let you render native elements too?

Neither of these kits have a complete mobile story yet (I don't even think Xwt team is working on one). So, I'm not saying that any of this is useful for anyone with a same-view-code-for-mobile requirement, but I think it could be really soon. The Eto guys are working on the iOS backing and they already have some impressive demos running on each of the major target desktop platforms from a single code-base. Anyway, I just like them sorry for hijacking :)

To lower the friction for new users to take up Parley, it'd be handy to allow the "import" of an existing email account.

This has little security benefit, since the emails will exist on other servers already (although when I switch mail services, at least my mail will now be stored encrypted). But it would allow me to just use Parley, including for searching or categorising my old messages. I could then delete my current webmail account and there'd be one less insecure node in the system.

IMAP import would bring in old messages as well as category (label / folder) structure. Perhaps there's even a way to pull in Gmail / Thunnderbird / other message filter rules(?). It's all time saved by not having to set things up again.
