taralx··on What Twitter Earns Each Time You Look at Your Feed
To be fair, this is CPM, not CPC. So the click vs view thing is already accounted for.
taralx··on Fylr lets you share any file of any size for free
This makes me feel like the creators think that all sharing is on Facebook. I know it's not true, but it's still irritating to see useful products locked up in Facebook's walled garden.
taralx··on The best start-up perk? A 40-hr workweek
I will say that the main reason I never applied to any startup was the fear that I'd end up working 60, 80, or more hours a week. I value my free time far too highly.

Not to mention the very well-established productivity declines that are associated with prolonged overwork like that.

taralx··on Numonic - a CLI tool for memorizing long number sequences
Neat idea. I was expecting the tool to search the dictionary and insert vowels for me though. Feature request?

That's almost certainly because Google searches are significantly more likely to indicate purchasing intent. That means advertisers will pay more per search than per timeline view.
taralx··on Melatonin
The cloudy headed thing is almost certainly due to a too-large dose. gwern recommends somewhere around 1/10th of the dose you are taking. I've been splitting 1mg pills in half.
taralx··on Show HN: Introducing Harp – A static web server with built in preprocessing
This actually can be done safely with Object.defineProperty, using non-enumerable properties.
taralx··on Uber challenges
Yet another site that requires Facebook login to use. Makes me sad...
taralx··on Modifying a DOCSIS 3.0 cable modem for high performance
This. So much this. Cheap connectors are a huge source of loss in these systems, and eliminating them can be a much bigger win than expensive capacitors.
taralx··on Tarsnap – Online backups for the truly paranoid
I imagine that if you want an API you could ask nicely... :-)
taralx··on Some dark corners of C
Works if you add this line:

char main[] __attribute__((section(".text")));

(You get a warning from the assembler.)
