RAM

i’ve caught myself thinking that “finally, my laptop is sufficiently streamlined so i can reach apps w/ a keystroke; and swap windows seamlessly fast”. then i remember that i have 8GB of RAM and i’m still just a hack but w/ a blazingly fast macbookpro.

This is http://stackoverflow.com/faq’s karma points policy:
Amass enough reputation points and Stack Overflow will allow you to go beyond simply asking and answering questions:
15 Vote up
15 Flag offensive
50 Leave comments†
100 Vote down (costs 1 rep)
100 Edit community wiki posts
200 Reduced advertising
250 Vote to close or reopen your questions
250 Create new tags
500 Retag questions
1000 Show total up and down vote counts
2000 Edit other people’s posts
3000 Vote to close or reopen any questions
10000 Delete closed questions, access to moderation tools

† you can always comment on your questions and answers, and any answers to questions you’ve asked, even with 1 rep.

At the high end of this reputation spectrum there is little difference between users with high reputation and moderators. That is very much intentional. We don’t run Stack Overflow. The community does.

I want to build something just to implement a similar point set.

actual quote from my quantitative research methods for comm textbook:
(while discussing chi-squares and degrees of freedom): “Since this is an important concept, let’s think of this in terms of a car lot.”

twitter has jumped the shark. in my mind it has become what it was destined to become: a way for celebrities of all stripes to connect with their fanbase. and it is excellent and revolutionary for doing that. it not so excellent for common-person communication.

but more importantly,

1. how do i know that twitter has jumped the shark?

2. does anyone agree with me?

3. do these people that agree with me agree with my other insights?

4. what do these insights mean for twitter and the www community in general?

5. how do you monetize these insights? (just kidding)

these are the things i hope to research someday. at least if you asked me “what would you like to research” today. tomorrow could be something totally different.

seriously, what was HomeSite? http://www.kottke.org/09/07/homesite-rip

i’m guessing that i started coding html after HomeSite was largely popular.

i now am nostalgic for it even though i don’t ever remember using it.
