There are other needs for a shortened URL. Perhaps you have to hardcode a link in code and don't want to be tied to a page whose contents may break. If you control your URL shortener, you can hardcode your shortened one, and update the redirect as needed.
I wish instead of a protocol improvement that focused solely on network resources, the next version will also include improvements for users such as encryption by default and doing away with cookies.
Newsblur[0] is a great open-source[1] feed-reader that not only beats Feedly in ease of use, but also has a bunch of great additional features over the standard RSS reader, with apps for both iOS and Android to complement the killer web-app. I highly recommend it.
Another great Bloom Filter library not mentioned in this article is Bitly's implementation on GitHub[0]. It has the best of both worlds: a C implementation and higher-level wrappers (Golang, PHP, Python, and Common Lisp). If you don't want to play around with a fancier DBMS and really just want the damn filters, I would look here.
I'd love to be able to add the same photo to more than one album. This seems like the sort of thing that's a natural advantage of digital photos over regular ones.
Let's say I was taking pictures of friends at a baseball game, along with a couple of other shots of the surroundings. I want to put the pictures of friends in "friends" album, but I also want to put those same pictures in the overarching "baseball" album, or the album for that particular game. It seems as though you have nested albums, which is nice, but this would be a good usecase to look into.
Also, while I was playing around, I created an album that I wanted to get rid of. I deleted the album and it took all of the pictures in it out of my timeline. I probably should have figured that the albums act more as folders than tags when I discovered that pictures were assigned to a single album, but I can't figure out how to reupload those pictures. Any help?
I am one of those programmers: I have no real idea how a compiler goes about its business, my university does not offer an accessible compiler class (only for grad students and very irregularly), and I have no idea where to start besides trying to force my way through the purple dragon book.
What are things I should know about compilers that I probably don't? What is suggested reading on compilers?
Right, but couldn't they expand the pane but leave the text at the same ratio? The way it is now, the right-hand scrollbar leaves the right side of the window[1], which is kind of weird. Adding whitespace on the sides might be a better way to achieve the same goal.
Why does Quartz allow for their menu bar to resize for any window size but prevent the article pane from doing the same thing? I get large grey space on the right side of any story that I read on a large-enough monitor.
Isn't this a bigger deal than just monitoring supposedly private Facebook communications? This would also violate attorney-client privilege too, right?
I wish he hadn't come forward. There was no real reason for him to release his name or tell his story yet. This is going to distract us all from the real issues at hand.
