The insult may be in that it implies the person to be married is being swayed purely by money basically.

Apparently they researched it, probably by asking some sample of the users: http://blog.xmarks.com/?page_id=1883#premium

On an opportunistic note, I do wish they'd everyone access to their "1 billion bookmark corpus", in anonymized form of course.

If you put up a few photos of a good looking girl for the profile pic and a random album, it's quite easy to get over a hundred friends, and not too hard to get many hundreds if you post on a few of those friending groups.

Though graphic design surely includes all those things you've mentioned, I was using it in the sense that most "web designers" might use it, as in the ability to make pretty stuff in photoshop. I'm not sure that someone who can, for instanc

Well, there's also the fact that some "UX" guys don't have any great ability in graphic design, but are great when designing the use and flow of an interface. It's not necessary that an ability in the latter implies similar ability in the f

I can't help but say that I think that there were more deserving demos, in terms of how impressive/fun they were compared to the winner, though I'm glad to see the chess one up there. Not to knock the winner though, it's also a good demo an

That was a mistake, meant to be a direct (private) message to someone on twitter, probably a fellow "super angel".

This is a great idea, and I've been thinking of something similar. Some people, including me, work better when there's someone waiting for the work with some deadline. This works out badly if you're working on your own thing, but people lik

Very nice, thanks for both.

What I'd love is for the L2ARC system built on top of ZFS to be ported as well. That's a killer feature for web applications. Basically, it can extend your cache to include an SSD, but manage that all internally, so you just use your databa

Well, it's compiled using XeLaTeX, which really is necessary for the template. It also requires a bunch of LaTeX packages I had to track down through Google I think, so you'd have to do the same. Also you should get the Fontin font, or anot

So say you want a single video on your the home page of your website to demo your application. What would be the advantage of using this over just embedding a Vimeo video or something?

I forgot whose online LaTeX CV template I used to create my own resume, but it was very nice and helpful for a TeX noob like myself, better looking than this one. This is what mine looks like, with very minimal changes in layout/design comp

According to Gabriel, he filters out spam aggressively. So the answer is probably "yes".

I agree, there aren't enough people on techstartu.ps, but there were even fewer earlier and it seems to be picking up. I'd guess that this one is here to stay, especially since it's run by DuckDuckGo founder Gabriel Weinberg.

It is not unlikely that many of those would end up as failed endeavors whether or not MS existed. We can only speculate though.

However, the fact that it's based on Centos 5 doesn't seem great too me. Granted, I've only started using Centos recently, but it seems like most packages are not kept up to date in the default repositories, and you end up having to add a f

The YouTube Instant implementation did have predictions, though I believe it was just a hack using Google's own API.

Well, all you really need to know is how coordinates work, and how rotation about the x, y and z axes work, which corresponds to the rx, ry and rz parameters. You also need to be able to follow the control flow of the rules, which can somet

I'm amazed at how much it looks like modern video game graphics, particularly the video of the man. If there was a way to go from the HDR to a "normal" image, perhaps that would let video games look slightly more realistic too.

I have a lot of "darkness" around me concerning threading, but isn't it a net win even with the GIL if the threads are mostly waiting for IO to finish?
