Working on it - http://jellly.com/ Also, just got a Firefox addon working that provides automatic related links to most web pages. Unfortunately, it relies on search now. But I'm s…

JVM perhaps?

I do appreciate your suggestions, but this doesn't have anything to do with my ego. It's great to have constructive criticism like the points contained in your comment, but had it …

To say that Germans "invented modern thought" is pushing it. Perhaps you can qualify that with an appropriate definition of "modern thought". The first few disciplines were around …

I think the GP was referring to "mandating the same function for everything (via a common protocol under the covers) was better than risking people implementing a thousand differen…

It's possible great advice. See these two TED Talks by Sugata Mitra for evidence: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xRb7_ffl2D0 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dk60sYrU2RU

Reposting a dead post which should not have been dead, from abecedarius: These had high I-want-to-read-itosity, I thought: Abelson and diSessa, Turtle Geometry Abelson and Sussman,…

Google "uzbl".

Idea: Bot which automatically gives relevant replies to comments, using NLP, sentiment analysis and web search to find relevant links. It would only reply if it's certain enough th…

How about "Just type in anything you want"

I don't know how cryptography works, so I'd like to know why the key length for all cryptography schemes seems to go up in powers of 2. What's the reason one couldn't have a 1300 b…

Alcohol has many other disadvantages which are, IMO, worse than just the harm to personal health, though these normally only surface when overused. Can't say the same about marijua…

Do you really need SSD's to do a thousand reads per second? I'm assuming this is with a hot cache, and the access pattern on the 10TB of data is pretty heavily skewed towards a muc…

Please elaborate. Solving linear equations with software is nothing new, this algorithm just does it faster. So I'd like to see prior art for what you're describing here, sounds in…

I just wanted to point out that it's not 90k concurrent users, but 90k total users (for some unknown definition of "user"). But it does process a couple dozen tweets per second acc…

I'd love any resources you could point to that were helpful to you when builder your recommendation engines (also, do you have links to the actual engines?). I've been going throug…

My main thing: http://jellly.com/ Also, a real-time multi-player browser game built on node.js and socket.io, but this is just for fun.
