BadCRC

but then it's crappy

it's not because of hardware acceleration at all. It's actively preventing the window to be captured (I believe iTunes does some similar). It uses a private API and an example is here:

isn't this how Steam (the platform gamers love) already works?

what do the AT&T vans connect to? I assume that there is no landline available for them to hook into, so how are they providing service?

my guess is satellites or communicating with other cell towers but the latter seems counterproductive as it would push a high load to a different cell tower. but if they used satellites, wouldn't there by high latency and bandwidth limits?

but the linked page doesn't prove that it is.

he's still listed on LinkedIn as working there..

did they isolate correlation from causation yet though..?

where does it say that the phone will retail for $50? The author implies it and refers to the phone as though he was actually able to obtain one for about $50..

couldn't they be using this to prevent/detect spam?

edit: the article claims this can't be so because the page only does a HEAD request, though a HEAD request could be useful if you wanted to detect an HTTPS domain with ephemeral pages (which perhaps, could be a good feature in detecting spam domains)

how would you watch the new season of Arrested Development?

one I was given in an interview:

You're working on the front-end development for a chatting website. Each conversation gets it's own 100x200px div and they are placed on the screen such that two conversation windows are never intersecting.

We want to display a new conversation window, write an algorithm to determine where a conversation can be placed such that it does not overlap with any current conversations. Assume that the website is being displayed at 1024x1280px.

two spaces after every period.

> Strictly speaking, the supply is inflating continuously

what about Bitcoins being lost? perhaps we should also consider coins that are not used in the past five years also "lost".

why not have a dynamic multiplier based on the weights? rather than just 100x

so it's like Facebook but with less users and a less developed API?

like worrying about twice as many hits to stylesheets (which are typically static content)

> Everyone knows if you save starting in your early 20s compounding interest it will be worth a ton more in 10 years, 20 years, etc.

How are you expecting to get a ton more after 20 years? Even with a ridiculous constant real interest rate of 5%, you'll get only 2.6x your original investment after 20 years.

I was able to find a FURNISHED bedroom from $1450/mth in the heart of the Mission.

Prices has gone up but it seems like people have gotten worse at finding places or switched to using airbnb more (which is way more expensive).

it's actually better this way, it's harder to aim when you're double tapping but easy to swipe one area to the center.

a red checkmark is bad to indicate failing, you should use a red X instead..

These guidelines won't save you from some bullshit PHP "rules", such as: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5810168/php-foreach-by-re...

The 30 minutes bit may be true but in this case, the cab driver would not be rushing as there would be no way the driver could return to the airport in time to beat the queue.

The article does not state that the driver was aware of any mechanical problem but only that "he had smelled smoke".

The case you cited does not match what you claim.

The round time from SFO to Mark Hopkins San Francisco hotel (where the couple was travelling) is at least 40 minutes and the cab driver was driving from SFO, not to it.

I really hope Haskell/Snap starts getting picked up by everyday web developers so someone can start exposing ridiculous things like:
