I'd like to push on button "like" again and again... - A. T.

I hear that every now and then too. - imabonehead

I thought this was true only for regexes. :) - Space Cowboy

Wow, that sucks. - I like big Botts

What sucks about personalized search ? - Space Cowboy

I'm looking at you, Gmail! - Gabe

The problem isn't that they make new interfaces every so often, it's that they don't let you stay with the old one, and the new one sucks. In this case, uses a lot more CPU (even when not doing anything) and memory, is harder to use (lower contrast, meaningless icons), and yet it appears to have no additional features. Gmail has been around for nearly 8 years and it still doesn't have real folders or the ability to sort? WTF kind of a mail reader doesn't let you sort messages? - Gabe

Just when I was thinking Twitter isn't doing anything re: features (for sometime) they launch this awesome re-design. Wow, congrats! - Space Cowboy

These videos (especially the later ones) make me realize that after 20 years of using Emacs, there's still so much for me to learn. - Amit Patel from Bookmarklet

I've been using vim for the last 10+ years and have been meaning to switch. What's the best way to switch ? - Space Cowboy

If I were a long time vim user I wouldn't switch. (Not that I think Vim is better than Emacs but the switching costs are high once you've learned one or the other.) There are several Vi key packages for Emacs (http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs...) but I suspect none of them will make a power vim user happy. - Amit Patel

Does anyone know, what AOL product Chris worked on ? - Space Cowboy

Wow, your review piqued my interest even more. Thanks. - Space Cowboy

"Besides the potential financial gains of getting out and coming back, there is a more important aspect, in my opinion, of getting a new job, career or opportunity and that’s learning new ways of doing things, new methodologies, new work styles, new technologies, new work environments, etc. It’s much harder to know how to improve your city if you only lived in the same place your entire life. Once you lived in multiple places, you start to form a much better understanding: what’s important, what’s not, what could be improved, what you like and what you don’t like." - Amit Patel from Bookmarklet

Wow, thanks a ton for sharing this. - Space Cowboy

Google veterans will recognize a lot of this in a project that was launched and then killed. - Piaw Na

First off, I must ask: Why are you drinking juice?? Juice removed from the fruit is just concentrated fructose without any of the naturally-occurring fiber, pectin, and other goodies that make eating a whole fruit good for you. Did you know, for example, that it takes 6-8 medium sized apples to make just 1 cup of apple juice? You probably wouldn’t be able to eat 6-8 medium apples in a single setting. (I know I can barely eat one!) But you can casually throw back a cup of apple juice, and you would probably be willing to return for seconds. That’s why fruit juice is dangerous. It’s far too easy to consume far too much sugar. So, my first piece of advice is to get out of the juice habit altogether. It’s expensive, and it’s not worth it. - Space Cowboy

If you want to be a game programmer, or for that matter any sort of programmer at all, here’s the secret to success in just two words:  Ship it.  Finish the product and get it out the door, and you’ll be a hero.  It sounds simple, but it’s a surprisingly rare skill, and one that’s highly prized by software companies. - Space Cowboy

Why take pot shots at Google when both of you are letting Apple run away with the ball? Not that I'm about to buy a tablet (any tablet) any time soon. - Piaw Na

Piaw, why don't you like tablets ? - Space Cowboy

Roger that! - #alaskareport

@James Leard: You can hide it. :) - Space Cowboy

From page 184: "Paul Buchheit looked like a fourteen-year-old when he joined Google in 1999, his cherubic face crowned with wisps of blond hair..." - Louis Gray

I can answer that: His hours were approximately 3pm-3am. Believe me. I know. :) - April Buchheit

You have to keep a dozen of your favorite problems constantly present in your mind, although by and large they will lay in a dormant state. Every time you hear or read a new trick or a new result, test it against each of your twelve problems to see whether it helps. Every once in a while there will be a hit, and people will say, “How did he do it? He must be a genius! - Space Cowboy

Chrome wasn't pwned because the contestants didn't show up, not because it's more secure. - Mark Trapp

Also, it's a bit disingenuous to say Safari was cracked within seconds (as some are reporting) or that it only took the maximum of 30 minutes to pwn a computer: one of the requirements to win is that you can't use a disclosed vulnerability so these exploits are the result of weeks and months of testing. It's the final demonstration that only took 5 seconds to deploy. That's one of the really dumb parts of Pwn2Own: they incentivize not reporting vulnerabilities in order to win the yearly contest. - Mark Trapp

And, I thought I was the only one. - Space Cowboy
