If I find an interesting blog post about a vacation on Google+, I can add that author in my "vacation reviews" circle. Further vacation posts by that blogger would also show up on my feed. Why wouldn't that be a good use of personalized results?


This is quite a time saver and works well most of the time. However, I get this message for a few sites "Honeybadger could not retrieve any data about this site or he simply doesn't care."

e.g. sites, http://www.westelm.com/ http://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/


Thanks rve. For those sites you mentioned, Honeybadger actually cares a lot, but the honeybadger only knows how to pull in data from the crunchbase/compete.com at the moment. It's just an mvp at this stage but expect to see some more as time progresses.


it would be great if you could avoid showing the H in the address bar (or grey it out) for such sites (i can't see how you do this without hitting your server on every site, which i imagine you are trying to avoid - but perhaps you are smarter than me :o)


How is this "Faceweb" approach different from Phonegap? I believe Phonegap too does progressive enhancement as described in this article


How does the ring range work with nodes going down and new nodes being introduced into the cluster. As per slide 38, it appears to be a static range.


The ranges are assigned by a per-node token. With 4 nodes like the cluster shown in the slides, you'd space the tokens apart appropriately for 25% of the range on each node.

When you add a node, you need to decide if you want to rebalance the cluster by moving every node's token a bit so that every node's range consumes 20% of the keyspace, or if you just want to quickly alleviate load by splitting a single node's traffic in half by assigning the new node's token half way into an existing node's range.

Decommissioning a node works the same way, but in reverse.

Touching multiple files for micro-changes, eh?

Don't knock on OOP cause your colleague does not understand encapsulation or basic principles like SRP (Single responsibility principle).


Enjoyed the video. Loved the second rapper(Ryan Johnson???). Seem to be willing to hustle to get attention which is great.

But I still don't understand what undrip does. Their about page has a bunch buzzwords which makes me think they are in the social media, content consumption space. But seriously guessing here. They don't have a mission statement either. Come on guys. Give us something.


I don't see reasons for such dramatic headlines.

Isn't this similar to your syslog (on linux atleast)?

There is no indication that this logging is being used for anything but debugging purposes in case of failure or crash.


syslog never leaves your local system unless you specifically do something with it.

This data is collected and sent off-device without your consent or knowledge.

Also syslog collects information on events, not specific keystrokes or commands issued and so on.


What is so phenomenal about what Tagstand is doing? It appears to be just client side NFC with a library like zxing

http://zxing.appspot.com/generator/

What am I missing?


NFC offers two big opportunities. The first is NFC as hardware, which is what Tagstand is doing. I agree that this is a fairly straightforward business.

The second, and arguably much larger, opportunity is the software component, which we haven't really seen yet. There's a whole world of programs and services that can be built around this hardware once it's in use.


This is an amazing article. Go CareMore!!!


Ron. Pretty awesome. Just playing with it on Chrome and am pleased with the effects. Adding more than one gradient would be a useful feature as others have noted. Keep up the good work


Thanks man
