tiquorsj··on Beautiful faces are average faces...but...
How did they control for whether the hyper-attractive group was "average" for a real world sample, but not their sample?
tiquorsj··on Apple likes our name and so do we
Trademark rgistration does not grant the mark, use in commerce does.
tiquorsj··on ZFS Gotchas
Titles are called linkbait by people too boring to write titles that people care to click. If the title is generally accurate its a good title.
tiquorsj··on The abject failure of weak typing
News flash!! Strong typing has benefits!
tiquorsj··on Wikipedia: We’ve won. Now what?
If Wikipedia becomes/is the source. How do you get around the 3rd party primary source requirement?
tiquorsj··on Life360 CEO calls patent troll "Piece of Shit"
Grats on the raise. Your response was childish and inappropriate. If your goal is to get PR then that might be a good strategy except now in the Media you still look childish and only a certain portion will think it was appropriate. If your goal is to win this case then little things like that name calling can hurt you and do nothing more than stroke your ego.
tiquorsj··on Why HTML5 is superior to native for mobile apps
I haven't used a desktop app in months. Except to open PDFs and an occasional excel spreadsheet.
tiquorsj··on Ask PG: Can you do it again?
I think you just have a negative view of humanity.
tiquorsj··on Parallax Demo
How "right" can it be with zero Mobile support?
tiquorsj··on Poll: What database does your company/you use?
This is good advice. I've scaled multiple sites to +3 million registered users and more than 1 million unique visitors with heavy DB usage. This is excellent advice for starting out. Along the way we found areas that could be improved and we were able to move quickly to them because our underlying DB was standard stuff. We knew what areas were breaking down and then fixed them with targeted moves to other DBs and things like memcache. Yes, each DB has a specialty but a good general DB gets you a lot of mileage because those specialty DBs do very little a general DB can't but that is often not true the other way.

You would never start a journey with cloudy destination and of a million miles by asking for a moon rover as your vehicle. As your journey develops you would start looking at other options or options for certain segments. Apps follow similar patterns.

tiquorsj··on The Financial Future of Game Developers
Importantly, the posted version would let you play the game until your software (in the game) was ready to sell and then it would put up a shamer message about how you couldn't make money because everyone was pirating your game.
tiquorsj··on APIs are Copyrightable
What is "Supreme Court Law" exactly?
tiquorsj··on New e-mail verify growth hack
Or, I am a user who clicks the first link no matter what so long as it doesn't look like the link to say "I didn't request this"
tiquorsj··on This AI tells you if your website is too cluttered
Sounds neat. Looks pretty cool. Trial is 3 tests? Is there so little long term value they won't let you play with it for a couple of days unlimited?
tiquorsj··on RadiumOne’s Board Is Now Deciding Whether to Dump the CEO
Even without a payout this is very common in domestic abuse cases.
tiquorsj··on RadiumOne’s Board Is Now Deciding Whether to Dump the CEO
The burden of proof for being a human piece of sh$t is lower than the legal bar for conviction. Items like "procedural" errors related to evidence that turn heinous crimes into misdemeanors can and should still be considered. This is not a situation where there is subtly to the crime. There is video. That video just couldn't be used in a court. It still happened. It still exists.
tiquorsj··on Marvel Comics API
Its nice but strict non commercial license means if you built something cool you would have no way to support it.
tiquorsj··on The Myth of Massed Practice
The author misses Gladwells premise from go. He said deliberate, not obsessive. His discussion was specifically focused on variance of experience and learning over that time.
tiquorsj··on Ask HN: Our Kickstarter project is failing
Marketing focuses on your sales goals. Community building focuses on the community's goals. They are related but that subtlety is important.
tiquorsj··on Chrome Remote Desktop for Android
An interesting app. I tried using it and it is a far cry from windows remote desktop but it would be fine if you forgot to hit send on something or just needed to look at a doc on a comouter. It handles multi monitor pretty poorly.
tiquorsj··on Delphi – why won't it die? (2013)
Delphi was one of the greatest development environment ever created when you just "needed to get shit done".
tiquorsj··on All software sucks
I love that flat files are considered less complex, but SQL DBs are bad.... I would love to know under which criteria that is true for the author. Is it "music I listened to last week"?
tiquorsj··on Reddit uses Adzerk API to improve native ad system
I spoke to Jay I believe and had our account reenabled. It was pretty easy.
tiquorsj··on OpenBSD has started a massive strip-down and cleanup of OpenSSL
Yay! Now OpenBSD can introduce a massive security bug. /s
tiquorsj··on Ask HN: Our Kickstarter project is failing
I didn't say market. I said you need to build a community. You need to find people who want a game like this but can't build it. Then get them to talk to you and you talk to them. They will help spread your idea. Until you get some like minded people you have no idea if you have a market. Once you know you do have some people (and your mom and friends dont count) kick starter will help you reach more people, but kickstarter cant be your first move.
tiquorsj··on Ask HN: Our Kickstarter project is failing
I own gameskinny.com and we cover a lot of kick starters. I will just give you my opinion straight up. Based on your pledges you did not build a community ahead of your kick starter. You have 800 pounds or so which is 10% of your goal.

This kickstarter is done. That doesn't mean you can't have a successful one again. Build a community of like minded people. Get a forum, post some info on our forums, talk to people in RPG forums. Get 500 people who would fund you for 20$ so that when you launch the next kick starter at least 100 of them do.

tiquorsj··on The Excuses for Purging Brendan Eich Are the Old Excuses for Firing Gays
This whole thing and the justifications sound like reprisals during regime change to me. It is really creepy.
tiquorsj··on Poll: How long have you been programming?
I put the amount of time I have been getting paid to program. When I think of 20 years of web development it is kind of cool.
tiquorsj··on The Hypocrisy Of Sam Yagan and OkCupid
You will rue the day that a person's ability to lead is judged by how well ago their views align with those they lead. Especially on matters only on the fringe of the primary goal of the workplace and especially in instances whee the workplace actions are aligned. Shared vision is different than group think and mob rule.
tiquorsj··on FAQ on CEO Resignation
This whole thing reeks of so much thought police BS it is scary. Read their LGBT Support statement in the context of what happened to Eich. It is a scary world in which your legal participation in the political system is treated this way. Now the thought police work to cover their trail.
