Eight reasons why journal rejectes your article
http://blog.editeon.com/eight-reasons-why-journal-rejectes-your-article/
When a manuscript is submitted to a high-quality scholarly journal, it goes through intense scrutiny — even before it’s seen by the editor-in-chief and selected for peer review. A journal editor reveals the top reasons so many manuscripts don’t make it to the peer review process. - See more at: http://blog.editeon.com/#sthash.Rm29y57n.dpuf

The company said the smartphone's 13.0-megapixel main camera can shoot ultra HD 4K (3840x2160p) resolutions video, which is twice the quality of current full HD standard thanks to f2.2 aperture, 24 mm lens and the powerful 2.2GHz Snapdragon 800 series quad-core processor. The chipset will also enable the new Liquid S2 to support super fast 4G-LTE network with a top download speed of 100 mbps.

What Might My Resume look Like If I Were a Computer ?
http://www.samanbarghi.com/2012/05/21/what-might-my-resume-look-like-if-i-were-a-computer/
The other day I was about to update my resume, and this crazy question came to my mind:
What might my resume look like if I were a computer ?
And This was the result: http://samanbarghi.com/resume/. (Best viewed in Chrome and Firefox, if I turn to a computer I will run Unix based systems and IE does not exist in my world).

.
.
.
I applied the rules above to myself and came up with me as a computer resume. If someone take a look at this resume, by one look they know if they are interested in what I am doing or not. So the real question is not whether one day I turn into a computer or not, it is why in 21st century most resumes are still flat lists and lack a specific hierarchy? I would be bored looking at hundreds of flat listed resumes each having pages and pages of information, I would be happy to hear from other peoples’s point of view? Although there are some really creative resume designs out there, what would be your suggestion to change the way most people present their resume !? What would your resume look like if you wanted to think out of the box!? What type of info helps HR and hiring staff evaluate a resume better? is there any research going on this subject?

Ask HN: Amex Files Patent for "Transferring Value via a Social Network"
http://appft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser?Sect1=PTO2&Sect2=HITOFF&p=1&u=%2Fnetahtml%2FPTO%2Fsearch-bool.html&r=1&f=G&l=50&co1=AND&d=PG01&s1=20140006297&OS=20140006297&RS=20140006297
It sounds like Amex is trying to file a patent for our service (and many others). What should we do?

US Patent 20140006297 filed on July 2, 2013:

An integrated, end-to-end, automated system that
enables a first social networking user to seamlessly
transfer value to a second social networking user, even if
the second user is not registered with the money transfer
service from which the first user initiates the transfer...

Our service:

PikaPay.com
https://www.PikaPay.com/

Send Bitcoins to anyone on Twitter, as easy as a Tweet!

PikaPay is a Bitcoin wallet integrated with the Twitter API and is one of the fastest and easiest ways to use Bitcoin. Just like in the Amex patent, with PikaPay the recipient doesn't need to have a PikaPay account to receive bitcoins.

We were the first to start sending bitcoins on Twitter back in 2011. But we're sure that scores of other companies have been doing "value transfer via social networks" even earlier.

Do we have to take that Amex patent application seriously in any way, and is there anything specific we should do?

We Tweeted AmEx about it recently:

Ask HN: How to get a hold of Facebook?
I had this group on Facebook that was getting quite viral in my small town. It was called 'Sleeping Students of GHS.' It displayed pictures (funny pictures) of students sleeping in class taken by other classmates and sent in to our email which we would upload. We have a fully gallery site coming but of course Facebook was integral to this and getting stuff out to our fans. It reached 1,500 likes in just a few days with over 100,000 post views. We got an email saying it violated their terms of use and you can fill out the form to have it appealed but that's going to take forever I imagine. Does anyone have any connections at Facebook? or how should I go about getting it back? We have sold tshirts and we've been on the news as well several times.
Artisanal Framework Design (OrganicJS announcement)
http://evolvingtrends.wordpress.com/2013/03/16/artisanal-framework-design/
They say beauty is simplicity.

In fact, there is a computational theory of beauty that relies on this axiom.

When you think about front end frameworks that are supposed to produce beauty and you see incredibly over-designed ones like EXT-JS, AngularJS or EmberJS you start to wonder how Beauty can emerge from such stale mess of ideas, patterns and assumptions.

That’s why I’ve always wanted to build my own frameworks, ones that comply with my own somewhat mature intellectual desires and artistic temptations, but also ones that are a little twisted by unconventional wisdom, wrapped in deep thought and vested in the idea that code is art and creative insight is what front end developers need not a super complex framework.

As to Backbone, KnockOut etc, I have no idea why someone would want to put the backend middleware ideas on the front end, a place where we need to start fresh and not from assumptions made for the backend.

So all there is for us is to make our own artisanal frameworks, made to our needs but universally applicable with active morphing and adaptation. After all, why settle for stale ideas when we can have ideas that grow?

With that note, I give you my attempt in this regard, OrganicJS:

AlchemyDB is all grown up
http://jaksprats.wordpress.com/2014/03/10/alchemydb-is-all-grown-up/
I started the AlchemyDB project in early 2010. After two years, the project had graduated to become a hybrid Document-store/GraphDB/RDBMS/redis-store. AlchemyDB was then acquired by Aerospike in early 2012. The next 2 years were spent integrating AlchemyDB’s codebase/architecture/philosophy into Aerospike, eventually yielding Aerospike 3. Four years years after it’s inception, AlchemyDB has provided the right ammunition to catapult Aerospike into the visionary enterprise NOSQL quadrant.

Ask HN: Finding idiomatic code or mentoring
Take a language like C++. How should an intermediate level programmer (someone who could code pretty much anything they wanted in the language) learn best practice?

One could recommend finding github repos, but most of them are terrible. Lots of people for C++ recommend, say, the Doom 3 code, but always add "but the style is c-with-classes; which isn't good modern C++ style"; one can just code it, but who knows what you'd be missing.

This isn't just about C++, of course, C++ is an example. One I've been thinking about because it is a language I've used constantly for 20 years, but I'm still not sure what people actually mean when they talk about 'good style'.

For those of you who feel like a 'master-craftsperson' in your language, how did you get there? Did you read code, or did you receive mentoring? Can you imagine a resource that would allow people to move up beyond intermediate level in a language? And how do you avoid the problem with self proclaimed 'experts' who love to teach more than they do learn, and fill the web with bad advice?

PYXL Behind the Scenes: From Sketchbook to my first iOS game
http://www.perpetuallybeta.com/2013/07/02/pyxl-behind-the-scenes-from-sketchbook-to-ios-app/
Since my first iOS app PYXL has been live for a little under a month now, I thought it would be fun (and possibly interesting to other people) to do a little development retrospective, going through some of my notes, sketches, and early builds to see what ideas from early on made it into the final game.

First a little bit of background – PYXL is my first iOS app that I have released – in fact it is the first project of any kind that I programmed and released from start to finish. While I studied computer science in school several years ago – since my graduation I have been on the business / product side of several technology startups / companies. Last year I started to realize that

Even though I had graduated with a CS degree, after 6 years of no coding I had completely lost the ability to make anything myself and
I was tremendously bored and needed a side project.
So I went off to make my first game. After several game prototypes I had learnt a ton, and most importantly I had learnt not to try to take on a project that was too big – the idea of PYXL was born, and I promised that in under a year (stealing an hour here and there after work / on weekends) I would launch my first app.

This blog post is a collection of images from my sketchbooks / notebooks about how the app progressed through its development lifecycle.
