Radio Shack now stocks Arduino and Shields
http://blog.radioshack.com/2011/11/10/the-great-create-arduino-challenge/
In the past I have picked up a few odds and ends at my local "shack". But I got an email today about some creator contest (tl;dr). But I did notice that they are now stocking Arduido and shields. So I stopped in tonight and sure enough I was able to pick up new proto-shield and an impulse buy of a Dual motor shield. I hope it does well and they continue to stock them.

Ask HN: How to balance the “No rules rules” mindset
A lot has been written about the position of rules in a company. For instance we have the popular book "No Rules Rules", and also "Ask your Developer" which talks about autonomy and rules almost as if they cannot conflict.

I do think that some rules are needed: For instance even if you allow everyone in your company to spend money in a way that "they think is in the best interest of the company". They still need to do it in a way that finance kan keep doing their job (file taxes correctly, get a good idea about how much is spend on what, etc.).
Therefore I'd love to get some tips, book/blog recommendations. On where people should start with introducing rules and how people should introduce those rules both effectively and without decreasing the feeling of freedom and autonomy.

For context I work at a company with currently 40 employees, but we grow with about 80% every year (mostly young people), and I am finding that our almost complete lack of rules not only prevents us from getting some basic processes in place. Additionally, I am afraid that people will develop less depth if they cannot cannot depend on other parts of the company giving them exactly what they need.

JavaScript Development Environment

JavaScript is pretty easy to develop with, usually only a browser and a text editor is the only thing needed. But seriously, that’s a bit slow going. It helps a lot of have certain tools, editors, debuggers, or other pieces to make the development move along smoothly. So far, over the last few months of doing a little JavaScript here and there I’ve accrued the following tools to help with my JavaScript Development.

Ask HN: How does social media make you feel about yourself?
Just wondering.
Did anyone face this issue with Thalmic – Myo where it wasn't turning ON at all?
I got one of the first sets of Myos developer edition. I went through the initialisation procedure, upgraded the firmware, and in the step where I was asked to disconnect the device so as to be connected via BlueTooth, it turned off, and never turned on. Even when connecting the Myo back to the system, the charging indicator remained off (orange light). And the device is not showing up in PC. Tried with another PC to re-initialise, but now even the first step failed where the PC detected the device.

Has this happened to any of you. If so, how did you fix it?

Ask HN: Software Engineer soon to graduate, where to go?
I am soon to graduate with an undergraduate degree in Software Engineering. Recently I applied to The Guardian for their graduate software developer role, I flew through the the first 2 stages (beating possibly hundreds) and unfortunately I fell at the last stage. The Guardian basically wanted examples of large team work I've participated in, but how am I going to get that if I've never been in a long running job and at uni the max group work is like 5 people... Anyway, failing to get into The Guardian has made me think, I don't want to work for megalithic company where my talents probably would go to waste (even though they said I was one of best at completing the technical challenge...).

In short, I want to help a startup but I'm having trouble finding any that are looking for a graduate web/software developer, any tips? I'm even considering leaving software development behind to do something else.

Impressive year of ups and downs for GitHub. Lots of really well-received features and status page changes, but quite a few major outages. Still, I was happy using them quite a bit over the year. Nice to see a service like theirs get the award rather than a find-people-near-me-who-buy-the-same-catfood service.

Even – 2048 for Android with a twist
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.prasio.even
Hey HN, I'm the developer of Even. Oddly enough, Even launched last week before 2048. It's similar in that it uses even numbers but different in other ways (dynamics, bombs, etc.)

I spent a ton of time tuning the gameplay (in fact, it was internally beta tested by other Googlers for 2 weeks before launch). The concept is similar to Threes and 1024 but the gameplay is quite different.

It's free so try it out. Warning: it gets really addictive, especially with the public leaderboard!

Ask me anything.
Ask HN: How are game development teams dealing with remote work?
Programmers have tools like Git and VS Code Live sharing for collaborative text editing, but is there any CRDT/OT-based collaborative editing solution for binary formats like 3d models, game assets, video, audio, etc.?

Is there anything like git or google docs for game devs, video engineers, audio engineers, etc.?
(I'm specifically interested in solutions that work for Unreal Engine, but also curious about general answers for related industries)

Chirpify is hiring Engineers
https://my.zartis.com/chirpify/jobs/4903/senior-engineer-portland
We’re looking for senior engineers to help scale Chirpify.

We’re building the first social commerce platform enabling individuals and businesses to transact in-stream on social media. As such, we have some creative and challenging problems to solve!

You should at a minimum be down with OOP and be comfortable interfacing with APIs and the CLI. Even better, you're knowledgable in multiple queue processing with Redis, you've scaled platforms before, and you're constantly trying to invent new ways to improve existing systems and extend platforms into new business models and opportunitities.

Finally, you’d also be passionate about helping to build a startup that has a lot of traction and momentum!

We're a LAMP shop, but like polyglots.

If this sounds interesting, we'd love to hear from you.

Automated Trades from Predictions...
http://173.203.58.79/scatter/sc.transactions.php?date=20100615
Today, I decided to put my money (virtual of course) where my mouth is, I am running with automated buys & sells. I will be integrating in short sells this week...

I am factoring in $10.00/per trade fees as well as carrying a balance forward to the next day. I started the account out with $100k.

I'll leave this as my last post about this, and when I open my blog, I'll certainly post the link here.

Anyhow, I will be tweaking the prediction modeling out a lot- as I only put about 3-4 hours into the thought process. I have a lot of ideas to implement, and pretty excited.
