I think some of that has to do with the fact that a lot of those older games aren't really as fun as we remembered them to be.

There's some classic gems, to be sure, but they were also all we had.
I remember reading your YC app :).

About your question on whitelabeling: I wouldn't be too dogmatic about this either way. It's easy to make it a question about your company's mission, but it's more of an ROI decision. If you're seeing strong demand from companies who will pay you well for a white-label version, and your software is written in a way that makes it easy to build one, you should do that. Otherwise, it may just be a distraction.

The other thing that jumps out to me about your business is that the economics don't seem to match with the usage. You're serving a lot of traffic but not making as much revenue as I would expect, especially considering that you have "die-hard users" that love the service. Perhaps you can find a way to get them to pay more money, or find other customers that can afford to pay more?

Yea the whiteboard comment surprised me a lot.

I think the trick is to pick the right goals for the chain method. Something like "walk 10 miles every day" is too constraining of a goal, because realistically there are going to be days where that is impossible (e.g. when you've got a 20 hour flight to China, or a broken hip.)

Instead, you need to make a goal where "work towards that goal" is not concretely defined so that you can do work towards that goal under virtually any circumstance. For example, if your goal is to get a certain time in a 10k race, then you can read books about race strategies or training methods on your flight and count it as progress towards your goal. If you're recovering from a broken hip, you can mark physical therapy or diet decisions as progress towards your goal.
Give us the rest, please!
You judge, yet I've spent the last few days doing some amazing things with d3.js and I'm all over modern web dev. Being able and not liking the state of it are completely different.
What exactly does the first sentence mean?

It's a well-known euphemism for: making it easier, diluting standards, making grades easier to manipulate.

Indeed just yesterday, my head of department suggested that I move from programming exercises to essays in my operating systems course, so as to have fewer students fail.

The problem with math/programming is that there are fairly hard and objective and measurable criteria for how good a student performs. So let's get rid of programming ...
Thank you that really helps =D

I'll try and find the value proposition and see if I can get that one user.
Thanks for the advice.

The enterprise product provides a dashboard that allows a news room to manage past and present media content created through our platform. It allows live modification of stream quality (full bit stream quality control) and description, remote control of the camera, live communication with the reporter/camera person, and some other features we are working on that bring us closer to parity and beyond with other companies in this field. A huge benefit over our competitors is our significantly lower cost and no need to carry around expensive specialized hardware, as we do not require it.

We are probably 2-3 months away from having a revenue generating product. Although we are in conversations with one major news organization, we have found it very difficult getting in the door with other companies.

As for the compression tech, it provides an opportunity to delivery adaptive bit rate video in a single stream. It would significantly decrease bandwidth, storage and compression costs. Anyone who has large libraries of variable bitrate video and is streaming it (YouTube, Netflix, etc.) would be very interested in this.
I think this is a brilliant illustration of the "wear marks" around a basic service. At its core, it's still 140 chars, but each of these subtle deviations represents a bend in the direction of features valuable to users.

Developers and designers can benefit from this by not overspecifying how a technology is to be used until loads of feedback has returned. Kind of like the old story about the architect who didn't fill in the sidewalks until students had worn paths into the campus lawn :)

It isn't for many of them. Not really. Not as a great career.

I'm on ~$160k total comp as a senior software dev working full time. I want to move to a part time 20-25 hours and yet nobody wants to hire me for $80k/year part time.
I tend to agree with this. I've never had a private office with a door that closes, so how would I know what I'm missing out on? That said, the idea does sound nice and I'd definitely try it out if I had the opportunity.
I noticed the favicon too. :-)
We spoke with teams about the idea and they said that also they had this problem. We started from our problem and then we decided to make it a platform for teams. We will work on the first page, we know that is not so friendly but thank you for your advice, we will try to see the results. Another quick question is that if is a good approach to attract customers by searching developers/bloggers from different companies and direct email them with our idea or is it to forced? We are now focused only on technology/business/startups fields. We want to attract teams from these fields.
>Ask yourself how come Asians & Jews do so well? They just work harder and push themselves more.

Wait, is it that or are the schools "woefully inadequate"??

>No only are the schools they are graduating from are woefully inadequate,
> It draws too much attention to itself to be body text, yes

That's about the vaguest complaint I've ever heard. If you have statistics and studies then I'm definitely prepared to listen, but...
Slightly surprised to see that in combination with a *.cfm URL. I guess ColdFusion had a SPARC port?
So you're suspicious of your friends and are forming your opinion on a programming language based on that? Right....
Is the solution something you can share on a general level? Would love to see how you approached it.
Are you dropping Cassandra?
I've found that creating an exception list beforehand is a great way to survive "breaking the chain", as then it's not really breaking the chain.

For years I tried to keep a chain of exercising every day. It would work wonderfully for 8 months or so, and then inevitably every summer the chain would break when I was up for several days partying. Then I would start thinking "what's another skipped day" and end up with months of no exercise. After a few cycles of this, I redefined my chain as exercising every time I wake up. This works nicely for me, because my primary reason for initial breaking was that I was exhausted. I've managed to keep this new chain unbroken for years.
Hi Trevor and Jared,

I'm in the idea stages of creating a website, and I have no previous experience with startups or other business; I'm only a senior in high school. The idea is that there are people who would like to own the same game on multiple platforms, and so the website would offer a discount on a game that you already own, for another platform. So, for example, if you have the Xbox One version of Rocket League, the website would offer a discount on the Steam version.

My question is: how should I gauge interest in such an idea? I don't have any real budget to speak of, and I don't know where I should go looking for people to ask.

So is there any legal recourse against the public servant who violates the law, if the law itself provides no penalties?

In short, if this isn't punished, why won't it happen repeatedly?
However mostly it is.

Consider the example with the ID's if he would have an index with all the fields he would need, example he would only need the id and the email he could create a index with them and the query would be faster, that would be a index only scan (https://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Index-only_scans)
It's worth a try. But video is a different medium from live debates, so it could be that debate club style doesn't work in video. You might get better results from YouTube personalities.

Well that was 1995. At the time I was still getting beat up for being a computer nerd. Can you imagine someone getting beat up for using a computer today? The way I explain it is that it's almost like the 90s were in another century.
> What I find most interesting about this is that most of the changes they implemented weren't necessarily targeted towards women and benefited everyone (emphasis on group work, research projects, splitting the into classes by experience).

I'll take exception to the first example: group work. I loathed and hated group work in college. It was simply and solely a way for people who couldn't hack the course material to manage a pass anyway. This might, of course, be good experience for life, but it's terrible for education.

Research projects could be really, really good if they demand concrete results; they could be really terrible if they are just a way to reward effort without results.

Splitting classes by experience might be a decent idea, although I've heard folks speak positively of one-room schoolhouses as well.
But you can get almost any wireless ability and keep modern with whatever standard changes by simply using a usb stick.

They are super tiny now and barely stick out of the usb port.

Why hardwire wireless and outdate a board a few years later?

I think in 5 years we got g -> n -> 5ghz -> ac and three bluetooth variants.

Now there is indoor lte and other stuff coming.
Has anybody tried this? Seems very simple to set up.
Second last "internal" photo, top left corner next to the ribbon connector. That thing that looks like a long cap SMD is the chip antenna (just guessing).
I've spent a lot of time working with Django as a backend and AngularJS powering the client. It's definitely not a bad combination.

That said, in my personal projects, I lean towards letting Django handle almost all of the client experience too. There are exceptions for areas that are inherently interactive (e.g. WSYIWYG editor), but the vast majority of my projects involve static content. To me, the complexity and overhead of using a JS library/framework outweighs any benefits the library/framework might offer.
Fwiw, in the past 10 years, I've had 2 whiteboard interviews and the rest I was hired without.
Apple, the FBI, and a Better Blockchain Mousetrap
Hello,

I've developed a custom toolchain while writing an electronic book[0]. The toolchain automates the conversion of markdown and media into a scrollable "app-novel". Initially I'd hoped to earn income from the book itself, but the naiveness of that idea is quickly becoming apparent.

As a pivot, I am developing a public interface for the toolchain, with the idea of permitting others to write books in the same style. Unfortunately it is not ready to be demonstrated. Nonetheless, this feels like a untapped industry to me, and I wonder what your opinions or suggestions might be.

Thank you.

Here's our (Beeminder's) argument against anti-charities, clever as that is: http://blog.beeminder.com/anticharity
Don't get into that. I got downvoted for saying that and with this comment I am probably going to get more haters coming at me, but that's okay.

Gopher + text based advertisements? Maybe the answer to ad-blocking is a system with restricted display options.
Why not call it Goskell then? If it's a different language, it should improve on some legacy stuff.
You use the exact same design as iOS, but with unique keys in the hands of each device owner (in other words, a PIN or password) rather than one key in the hands of the vendor.
Maybe you should target corporate software engineering and QA managers who lead the teams building their own commercial web applications. It should be fairly straightforward to target those people through conferences and online forums. Corporate QA groups waste a lot of time manually filling out bug report forms, and those often end up missing key data which prevents developers from reproducing the bug thus wasting even more time. If you can provide a tool that will accelerate QA cycle times and cut labor expenses through automation then corporate customers will be willing to pay for it, and go through the hassle of installing it on their testing computers.
Occam's razor. Is there a problem in our entire society and schooling system, or are Black and Hispanic backgrounds a liability because of the views and attitudes they have/teach?
Where does C# fall among these 3 families?
Yup, group projects and so-called "team-work" are where the bullshit artists go to ride the coat-tails of people who can actually do the work.

On another note, why does everything have to be about benefiting society all the time? When I was an undergrad, I wanted to learn how to write a red-black tree, or how logic gates worked, not choke on force-fed activism. But I hate people, so...

Ultimately, the beauty of coding is that it's just you and the machine. The machine is objective, it has no mercy, it demands that you be correct, and you be exact. You can't bullshit it, you can't hand wave it. Your idealistic O(nLog(n)) algorithm wilts in the face of the harsh reality of constant factors and memory access patterns. The machine doesn't care if you're black, white, or purple, nor whether you have bits that go in or bits that go out.

I've worked in fraud prevention for large e-commerce sites for the last decade. Surprised these types of stories are still noteworthy enough to trigger a blog post by Maxmind.

However I'd love if this triggered some comments and questions from people who are interested in this kind of thing.
Hi Jared/Trevor, my partner and I are working on developing an app for wardrobe cataloging, which to our surprise (or not ) has already has been implemented by lots of ppl in the apple android store. However the advanced features that we thought of aren't implemented yet. How should we decide the path to go : implement the app or just make the advanced features and license them to the existing apps?
I do have future plans to introduce live debates - but I was hoping to do that once the offline debates gets some traction and acceptance.
Where does this idea that things always correct themselves comes from, I ask cause I see it a lot.

Sometimes civilizations, countries and even whole empires just wither and die.
Have you considered the fact that minorities like Indians and Chinese have no problem with being good at math and succeeding in Silicon Valley?
I'be been mulling over a similar concept for a while, really excited for this. Go has such great tooling and a nice ecosystem, but could use some language improvements, like coffeescript or the alt JVM languages.

I really want sum types, strict semantics, and untyped IO, and a good ecosystem.
Author here :) It's inspired by Haskell, yes, but not a dialect. Syntax is very much open for change still and that's really not the most important bit. Semantics are not like Haskell, more Go + polymorphism.
Hooray! New user! :) Our biggest issue right now is that we've gone so far down the rabbit hole with our hardcore superfans that it's a little overwhelming for newbees (as we call them; our 2nd biggest issue is our obsession with bee puns).

So we'd be super grateful to hear about things you find confusing/frustrating/offputting as you try setting up some goals.

Thanks again for trying us out!
I've come to believe that designing systems like SQL to have queries that work transparently whether or not an index exists is wrong. There may be people that don't care how their query is actually executed, but I doubt it's the common case.

So many times I've fought or watched other developers fight with getting a DBMS to use an index. Or been surprised to find out that production doesn't have that index but staging does. Or found out that someone added a lower() to a query that made the index stop working. Or found out that index turns out to be more expensive than scanning the table directly in a circumstance that is different between instances of the same software.

Contrast that to an API like the Cassandra Thrift interface. You know if you're doing something expensive because the API only exposes the cheap things. It doesn't have an implicit sequential scan. You know you're doing one because you had to type out `while(next=...)` right in your code.

Something as simple as

SELECT mycolumn FROM mytable WHERE INDEXED b=5

vs

SELECT mycolumn FROM mytable WHERE SCAN b=5

and refusing to run if the assertion isn't met would go a long way to making the API predictable
Also, hard to show ads there. This is why RSS failed too.
It worked for me.

If someone were to call the FCC regarding this and write about their experience, I would definitely read that article ;) The phone number is right there!

Title: Lead Engineer

Years SE Experience: ~12

Next move: Stop coding within a year. The gameplan is to lay solid technical foundations for our MVPs, then assemble a team of devs who are better than me, and get out of their way. I'm not going to retire by any means, I'd just like to move to a management/executive role.
Suing Samsung always seemed like a dangerous maneuver.

They do a ton of basic research into displays, semiconductors, etc. It seems like only a matter of time before they find a patent that Apple infringes.
Thanks for doing this and answering,

All this is assuming minimal outside funding.(as a solo founder I doubt I can get funding)

I guess my plan is to play $50-$100 million game of "moneyball." Lawn care was the lowest hanging fruit to get 10k-50k/mo fees with in a year or two. Next was probably to try and go after cleaning and maybe even do a little cross selling. I'm also looking at launching www.bid2flyer.com which will help with a channel to feed businesses looking for marketing. The code is about the same for each of these and the marketing channel is what I have experience in. Obviously not a traditional way to do things.
Am I missing something? Your website doesn't really say anything aside from explaining the base principle then it tells me to sign in and let you handle it for me? Seems like it needs more info.
Virtual Console? Also wouldn't publishers be worried about retro classics competing with their new AAA offerings?
This doesn't really reflect my experience at all with the RPi 2. The edimax or official wifi dongles "just work" with NetworkManager.

With the early RPi it was a bit different because of USB power problems and kernel bugs, but those are mostly solved.

You never did any programming at home, in your room, with the door closed? You always had noisy siblings in your room with you? You always did your studying and homework in school in college with people in the same room as you? You've never actually had any privacy?
You don't stop things like this when they're legal or maybe legal. There is no "Maybe it was illegal" It was, or it would have continued.

I don't understand how you can say Go has great tooling when tooling is one of the single biggest difficulties the language has.

It's story of building and dependency management is one of its major areas of growth in the last 2 releases because the developers agree.
My question is "why not Lua"? I can see why someone would like to program on a higher level scripting language instead of C and Lua is very much designed from the start to be lean, fast and embeddable. It also inter-operates very easily with C.
No, if you charge toward a charity then YOU don't get to make a bunch of money. This seems stupid.

GovtOS and resignation as civil disobedience
I've long since stopped considering any error message as Googleable. The legions of keyword campers will snatch up any moderately frequent error message and use it to peddle their fix-it programs regardless of whether they can actually fix that particular problem. The only thing worse is trying to search for anything with the word "driver" in it.
That is it, and the connector beneath the HDMI port is the same (but mounted) JTAG connector as the RPi2.

I don't know what is the chip, though.

Also noticed a 2-pin header between the 40-pin one and the upper USB ones: it looks like the "RUN" from the Rpi Zero.

EDIT: The 2-pin "RUN" header already existed on the RPi2, where the ceramic antenna is now located on the RPi3.
The news room product sounds interesting, but I'm concerned that you've only got one potential customer. Maybe you could build out your network of news organizations, rather than "selling" a product directly. You could try to meet individual employees (even low level, or former ones) to learn more about how their individual news room works. You could even get a part-time job in one!

If you knew you had several customers lined up, you'd (1) have more confidence going down that route and (2) be more confident that you were designing the product right.
In my experience as a CS teacher at a university, probably 20% with no experience, and another 30% with a little experience. About 5% are already mature programmers when they come to university.

The real trick is breaking your goals down as small as possible. Then accomplishing those tasks building up to your ultimate goal. Most people fail or get frustrated/give-up because they define their goals in terms of end goals.

Thanks for posting this. I am curious about the first item:

1. Virtual currency that can be monetized, re-sold or converted to physical or digital products or services or otherwise exit the virtual world

Would this include a digital service for which the user might pre-pay? I.e., the service charges $1 every time one uses it, but for convenience's sake one can pre-pay $20. If one decides not to use the service anymore, one can request and receive an immediate refund.

I can see why a payment provider might wish to prevent such an arrangement, but it isn't clear to me that this rule does prevent it.
