I feel like we-don't-care-about-design is kind of Googles thing. The new logo seems terrible, but that's appropriate. It could be a picture of pretty much anything, or there could be no logo. Regardless, I plan to continue using Google to search the WWW.
FYI for the curious: It does work with my older Moto 360 and iPhone, but some caveats:

- It seems to need the iOS app running all the time, otherwise get a constant, undismissable "Touch to reconnect" on Watch, unlike on Android.

- Wifi from watch does not work.

- Very limited watch face selection, unlike Android.
Neonto | Helsinki, Finland | REMOTE | http://neonto.com

Are you an iOS, Android and/or Mac OS X developer? Maybe you're just the person Neonto needs to finish version 1.0 of our next-generation app design tool and take it to the next level.

The product, Neonto Studio, is a visual Mac-based creative environment for building mobile apps and interfaces. We want to enable designers to move beyond static mockups and limited HTML prototypes, into real native apps. Neonto Studio generates clean and lightweight iOS and Android code that can be easily used in a larger project or deployed to app stores.

From a technical point of view, this is a large-scale content creation app written in Cocoa. Currently there are code generation backends for iOS, Android & Apple Watch. Actually we're looking to revamp the code generation part of the software, so your input could make a crucial difference...

That's the great part of working on a product like this: your contribution makes a visible difference and enables creative people to do something they just couldn't do before. This could be your chance to make a mark on UI design workflows and the lives of designers everywhere!

Strikes me you have three choices:

1. Force yourself to sit here and do nothing else until the task is done. The Chandler method, which requires a great deal of discipline.

2. Keep telling yourself "I'll start just after I check Hacker News / Twitter / watch one more episode on Casualty". This means you never achieve anything and feel forever guilty and worthless.

3. Put the task to one side for now and do something else enjoyable and marginally useful. You make progress in other tasks, feel valuable, and only a little guilty.

Structured Procrastination is the third option. If you can't manage Option 1 -- and who can? -- it's better than Option 2.

I like the "Google"; not crazy about the singular "G" though.
My series of responses within the span of 30 minutes:

* "It looks like fridge magnets for kids! I don't like it; the iconic lower case g is gone cause of designers obsession of san-serif == modern."

* "Glad that they continue to embrace their playful culture tho."

* "You know what, it's growing on me."

* "Haha, they tilted the e, how cute. Oh god what is happening to me!?"

* "Geeze, how old is Google books? They haven't even updated the logo!"
1. I expect, if we use standard OS, that a modification might be needed where the FPGA will know the real address. The FPGA might be given enough info to figure it out with DMA or it might be something like a custom, syscall that gives FPGA details.

2. Barriers are one method. They're among the most expensive. An IBM prototype used careful lock management (supported by lock registers) and scheduling to avoid barriers. There's actually quite a few ways in the literature to avoid barriers in concurrency. I figure a team would have to leverage them plus asynchronous I/O from CPU to FPGA for optimal performance. I see it as a series of hand-offs to FPGA which, once it has necessary information, acts on those hand-offs with CPU assuming it completed after certain time, seeing a part of memory saying so, or receiving an interrupt.

That's a rough sketch.
Sure, but this being HN, we're interested in the "disrupt an entire industry" type business, which are overwhelmingly started by people with good connections and a top university degree that hasn't burdened them with unsustainable debt. Not to mention overwhelmingly involving people who have chosen to relocate to the highest cost of living parts of the US to try to get on the radar of VCs, and are foregoing the >$100k a year they could easily command in a regular job there.

Obviously there are opportunity costs and expectations associated with starting your own plumbing business too, but entrepreneurially minded tradesmen or professional services providers not only possess a higher chance of success, but also much more willingness to shut it down and get a job if it's not generating revenue quickly.

And by the time you get to "half a billion entrepreneurs" worldwide we're including people offering goods and services to sale not because of the lure of entrepreneurdom but simply because that's pretty much the only opportunity to earn money that exists in their locality.

I think these things might make a small difference but overall it's not important.

I view Heineken as a boring lager which has little character, probably due to being produced in industrial quantities. A jaunty 'e' isn't going to fix that.

Same for google. So long as they continue to bang out appropriate search results I'm with them. Right until they don't.
But from a broader social standpoint, isn't it a good thing that people who can afford to take risks are the ones taking the risks? It sucks on an individual basis if you're living paycheck-to-paycheck and can't risk failure, but it's not such a bad thing that the affluent are taking larger economic risks than the poor.
Graphiq.com | Santa Barbara, CA

What are we up to: We are building the deepest, broadest, baddest knowledge graph on the planet. We have billions of entities, hundreds of billions of facts, an amazing presentation layer, and a growing distribution network of top tier publishers. Everyone needs knowledge (we have close to 200M citations a month), and we’re here to satisfy that need.

What’s next: we’ve built an amazing product architecture that leverages our expansive knowledge graph. The next step is to become a dominant force in the growing knowledge industry. I'd love to talk to anyone working or interested in this exciting space. Unsolicited outreach is strongly encouraged! (ivan -at- graphiq.com)

About the team: The challenge of scaling human organizations is not unlike the task of scaling a technology stack. Just as large monolithic software applications tend to become ineffective and fail, a highly scalable engineering organization can't be dependent on hierarchy. Developers, designers, and data analysts can form small, cross-functional, mission-oriented teams that are able to operate decoupled of one another (Bezo's 2PT). Besides yielding more effective results, this distributed systems approach to human organizations promotes a happier, more harmonious engineering culture.

Flat design is easy to accomplish for designers who never learned how to draw, or do computer modeling.

Unfortunately, most design programs don't actually teach these foundational skills. That means there are a lot of designers out there who are forced to work in an oversimplified print-design style to hide their incompetence.

As someone who hires for this stuff, finding skilled designers is unimaginably hard.

I hear designers constantly complaining about the lack of jobs. They're full of it. The problem is the lack of skilled applicants. Design has become filled with lazy people, while being arguably one of the hardest fields to be good at. I've had ads out in a major US city for months for a very good paying design job, and have yet to see a portfolio that looked even moderately professional.

That's really where this all comes from, flat design hides designer incompetence.
Haha, you're right.
Not nearly as bad, but this reminds me of some of the ridiculous requirements at the last program I worked at my previous employer.

One of those was that our code had to compile on a 32-bit SPARC pizza box running Solaris 2.6. This was in 2009. It was all about some stupid metric: our code portability was measured by how many different platforms we could compile and run on. It didn't matter how obsolete or inappropriate those platforms were; if we could compile and run it counted. Having that number go down was politically unacceptable.
I would be cool if everything was done with SVGs and styles that could be efficiently accomplished with SVGs. But I do kinda miss the more... Windows XP-style design.
SEEKING FREELANCER - REMOTE (New York City)

Looking for up to three freelancers:

One with NLP experience, to help build out information extraction models. You're a good fit if you understand what a CRF is and how you might it.

A UX designer with experience on mobile and an understanding of both the aesthetics and the usability constraints involved, to revamp the look of my app.

Yes you can do that. The app and hardware let you set it to either heat, cool, heat/cool, or off. There are probably cheaper ways to do this (IoT hub + zwave controller?).
Yes, you can, very simply. Just turn off learning and don't put in any schedule.
nah, i still prefer the old one. I've been looking at the new one for a week and I don't see it as better or worse. Just different.
That's really a problem with the word "Google", which has round open shapes in the first half, and then a tighter second half. Perhaps "Googol" would have been better?

Biilmann isn't at Facebook; he's just some random developer at a startup with experience in different languages who once used Haskell for a work project. He may as well be yet another HN commenter, and it isn't surprising that not everyone who has tried Haskell is using it! The reporter probably just found him easier to interview than the people actively using Haskell, for whatever reason.

Haskell at Facebook is still going strong with, I believe, two teams using it and actively recruiting. (I've been contacted by a recruiter myself, even.) And they've hired Simon Marlowe and Bryan O'Sullivan who are pretty much as superstar as they come. Recruiting woes are greatly exaggerated if not inverted for startups seeking a handful of engineers—Haskell actively attracts interesting candidates.

It's definitely a risky move as your examples demonstrate, but aren't most of the Angular core developers working for Google? I don't think they have an interest in generating more consulting work.

Angular was arguably the state of the art for a while. I suspect the core team would rather pursue that position again than spend years focusing on legacy support.

I'm not terribly familiar with the perl, php, or python communities, but my understanding is that a lot of the changes made were to "fix" things and "clean up". Aka, there wasn't a "I need this to get my job done" reason to upgrade. On the other hand, client side development has progressed rapidly since Angular 1.0. Things like isomorphic javascript just won't work with the old APIs.

Hey there,

I'm part of the team that built Retroospect. Teams can be selected to be transparent or anonymous. Users who are invited on anonymous teams will not have their identity associated with the data - you will simply be team member 1. We see this as valuable for exactly the reasons you cited - to ensure that honest feedback is always given - something we feel doesn't always happen anonymity isn't catered for.
