These are quite nice. I was able to import the entire .svg set into icomoon and incorporate a select few into my icon set. The only issue is that they render slightly smaller than my normal icons, so I need to adjust the font size accordingly.
Here is a world I've been running for 2.5 years. Spawn has been moved several times, so the world spans tens of thousands of blocks. If you look carefully you can find large settlements from continent to continent, http://treestop.com:8123
I used to be into affiliate marketing back in the datafeed hey-days on Google. Now in order to succeed in this business you need to come up with something viral and useful. I think this is a very good example. I'm not sure this can compete with something like retailmenot in terms of revenue, but it's certainly an innovation.
While this does offer some historical significance the cost to maintain old web properties can far outweigh the value in keeping them. I run an 18 year old site and lately I've found quite a lot of relief in removing older features. In fact I'm considering removing the very feature that "made" my site many, many years ago. It's certainly a necessary move if you want to stay relevant online. I'm sure there are some folks at Yahoo who are very excited to shut this down and close the book on what is likely a maintenance nightmare.
Great read, but I think it's a few years too late. When you compare how PHP is trending against languages like Python it's following a similar path as perl, https://www.google.com/trends/explore#q=php%2C%20javascript%... - I'm surprised JavaScript isn't having much of an upturn lately.
Silly me. I forget that not everybody lives in the world of development. Considering this it seems every language is experiencing a downturn. To me this looks more like a fault in Google's trend calculation. Maybe it doesn't consider search inflation from year to year.

Why? I love the fact that there is at least one site out there that remembers that plain-text web pages can run just fine if all you're doing is delivering plain text. (Hacker News is another nice, nearly-plain-text example.) What purpose would be served by a technology update?
I love the way they do it in Taipei. They have attendants at every station where you hand them your card and cash. 2 seconds later your card is updated. It's actually faster than using the machine as there's never a line.
I used to be into online retail sales before I got fed up with all the money grubbing. It was all about Black Friday and if you weren't ready with a major production by then or at least Cyber Monday you'd miss the boat on a huge influx of potential revenue. If your Black Friday effort went viral you'd be riding the gravy train all holiday season. I get the sense April Fools has become the Black Friday of social media. If your joke goes viral you've got a huge opportunity for viewership and brand awareness. No thank you. My site doesn't celebrate any "holiday".
