Pretentious

Yep. That's why you shouldn't have pylons noobs running a site like reddit.

Whoops, forgot that HN doesn't have search. >.<

You know what you're talking about, so I'll agree that you're right, but the simple action of searching titles of submissions on Reddit didn't work. That makes it seem like that there's something wrong with their code or database setup. Reddit's source code is pretty disgusting.

There are tons of sites like reddit. Digg, delicious, Hacker News itself...it's not a good sign that Reddit needs to outsource its search to IndexTank, when literally every other site like it can handle search themselves.

Yes, but according to the FAQ they're ranked like this:

"On the front page, by points divided by a power of the time since they were submitted. Comments in comment threads are ranked the same way."

Nice site, just added my blog. Only problem I see is that if it does keep growing and becomes popular, then people could add feeds of irrelevant blogs, and like most social news sites it would turn into a digg/reddit.

Try harder.

Things like Lego Mindstorms help kids move on to the next step - maybe Visual Basic or Python. No one starts off with programming, it's usually WYSIWYG or similar paradigms.

Easy - they have a twitter account.

This is very cool. Interesting code too: http://github.com/harthur/brain/blob/gh-pages/examples/brain...

ITA Software provides the back-end for other online travel companies. They don't actually sell tickets, so if someone is misinformed about their site and tries to buy a ticket they are told where to actually do so.

I never said that the site was bad. In fact I said its simplicity was a good thing. I was just saying that it is relatively easy to make.

Really?

script/generate a few scaffolds, throw in a has_many or two and maybe a belongs_to here or there, code some simple erb layouts and BOOM!

If you downvote me, at least reply with a reason.

I love how simple it is. In fact, this couldn't have taken more than 30 minutes to make. Not always a bad thing though.

Giving users the ability to find jobs where they live might be a good idea right? Maybe. Who knows, maybe you prefer scrolling through 50 pages instead.

Would also like to know. I think for commercial systems you would have to create a solution yourself, or else a commercially usable system like this would be well-known.

True, but this seems great for a personal project/experiment.

Evolution is completely random.

Sounds like someone watched Primer a few too many times.

I think usability testing has shown the middle of the page is the most scanned part.

A collegeboard article? Really? Come on. Don't upvote articles written by the marketing team of a scamming corporation.

Good point, changed it.

Thanks for testing this stuff out! That admin page is actually broken, I don't actually have a working admin page. As for the XSS stuff, I'm going to go fix that.

Yeah I pretty much ripped off Google in an attempt to make the site look clean. I don't know if I want to hire someone yet, but I'll make a few changes to the CSS in the next few minutes to see what happens. I have a nice logo that someone on Reddit made me, but I haven't put it up yet.

To anyone that views this site in the next 15 mins: come back later! mega css-reconstruction in progress.

Thanks for the feedback, try now?

>.< There was an issue with .downcase! returning nil, fixed it.

Can you try again please?
