One of the only 2 web apps, and only Y-Combinator based app, that I pay for. Great work guys.

Get outside of your comfort zone and experiment with things that would otherwise seem 'ugly' to you.

I just use digital color meter (mac) or colorpix (windows) instead of colorpix. Less browser overhead :-)
Re:Ask HN: How many of you (coders) use marijuana?
on Tuesday March 10, 2009 @06:45AM (#509787)
Whenever I smoke marijuana I just want to eat and watch movies. So even though it's impossible to measure, for me it has an absolute negative effect in terms of coder productivity.

Re:Can a musician sell their music online?

Beatport is mostly an outlet for electronic music, thus satisfying a particular niche. I'm not saying it's a bad thing, as I've bought music from Beatport before, however I think it's a bit harder in the general sense to sell music online.
Re:A single line assignment filled with epic fail
on Thursday January 29, 2009 @03:42PM (#457079)
Doesn't bug #4 eliminate supposed bugs #2 and #3? The intent for the author of the code would have produced bugs #2 & #3, however since that isn't the case, there are only really 3 bugs.
Either way, this rant doesn't really offer any insight on the programs context, and what the author should have done. Nothing to learn here folks.
PS - Can we stop using "epic fail" and other internet-fanboy like colloquialisms in our titles please?
Re:Do you set goals?

This may sound a bit shallow, but the only thing that's ever worked for me is I always ask myself the question: "What is the next step that I can do right now to make me the wealthiest man on this planet?"
This usually leads me down a path of questions that result in me having to teach myself something to build something to solve a particular problem which fulfills a need. I know that this may seem vague, but try it in your own context of life and see what answers it yields you.

Re:Why is the Web still so U.S.-centric?
on Friday September 12, 2008 @10:56AM (#302429)
Because as consumers we have more time/money to spend on the web than the vast majority of the population of countries like China and India.

The only time YouTube comments have ever been useful to me was when they identify a song that is played during the video (as a soundtrack to something or part of a mixtape that was posted online.) Admittedly the videos that have these songs that I tend to look for usually have less than 1000 views, so your theory of getting rid of all the comments would still be pretty accurate.

I like it a lot, however some of the results seem to be 'old' links that don't exist anymore. e.g., I searched for a black leather sofa, and got amazing results that however didn't exist anymore on the target site. Maybe consider updating your index more often (not sure how difficult of a problem that is for you), but still - great site!

I switched from BOA to Sovereign recently and I've been pretty happy with their online banking so far. However, I don't really use it for super intensive tasks (paying bills, etc).
