You can't reason with emotions. Accept that people will act emotionally (illogically) and make a conscious effort to not let it disturb you. Stoicism at work...

Make an effort to be nice to people. Treat people who serve you with gratitude, even though you are paying to be served. Look them in the eye, smile and say thank you. Spread some good feelings.

Emotions are like weather, they come and go and sometimes cloud people's good judgement. Focus on bettering yourself in this regard, because ultimately your own mind is the only one you can control.
It was a hardware based device and I filed for my first patent on that basis, but now I don't have enough money to complete the filing.

Although, I think that it will make a good product, but I can't follow through as I don't have any money at all. Neither do I have any guarantees for institutional investors to pour money into it. It just costs too much to do MEMS based research and set up a production facility for it, but as I grow older I intend to do something about it.

Moreover, I doubt it if I am smart enough to take it to the level I see in my head.
What I would do to find students is to tell universities' CS departments about it. Many of them maintain a list of available internships for their students to apply to.

I disagree entirely.

"make them feel loved."

Having some stranger cold call me and read a script at me isn't going to make me feel loved. It's going to make me pissed off and hang up the phone. But OTOH I'm British - we don't go for the smarmy at all.

Sure, there's a market for this, just like there's a large market for horoscopes.

But at the end of the day, it, just like horoscopes, is preying on the stupid.
He didn't even mention some of the fun tricks that Microsoft pulled with the versioning of the C and MFC runtime dll's. For example in the summer of 2008 with the release of SP1 for Visual Studio 2008, they included a security fix in ATL that required a new runtime. Now all of a sudden all applications build with the Visual Studio that included that SP required different runtime dll's to be deployed. Double the fun when you have a bunch of dll's that require the 'old' version (no SP) and some that require the new one. You can't ship them in the same directory because they have the same name.

It's not cold calling, that's something completely different.

Also I don't think you're the 'target audience', (and neither am I) but I think that for some people this might be better than nothing at all.

Btw, I think you're awesome, I've been reading your stuff here on HN and it strikes me as very insightful and your positive attitude is a shining example to the rest of us here.

So, how did that make you feel ;) ?
How does popping up a new set of elements but merely on the same page entirely remove the "visual processing" step? You still have to look and work out how the form works, much the same as if it were on a new page.
Depends on the exact definitions. 'dynamic loading' (whic I would define as with ::LoadLibrary() ), is a subset of 'dynamic linking' because dynamic linking can be done explicitly (with ::LoadLibrary()) or implicitly by the application's startup code, which is generated/inserted into the executable by the linker.

Then again I wouldn't have a problem with someone defining the terms differently so that they are the same or overlap in a different way. I wouldn't say though that they are very different - they are related no matter how you slice it.

I believe there is no such thing as super simple, deploy and forget money making product. The amount of time, effort, energy are the key things that make the money counts.

More from Wikipedia (which this version doesn't have):

The name LISP derives from "LISt Processing". Linked lists are one of Lisp languages' major data structures, and Lisp source code is itself made up of lists. As a result, Lisp programs can manipulate source code as a data structure, giving rise to the macro systems that allow programmers to create new syntax or even new domain-specific programming languages embedded in Lisp.

It also lists the following under "Syntax and semantics":

Symbolic expressions — Check
Lists — Check
Operators — Check
Lambda expressions — Check
Atoms — Check
Conses and lists — Nope (not linked lists)
S-expressions represent lists — Nope
List-processing procedures — Check
Shared structure — Nope (not linked lists)
Self-evaluating forms and quoting — Nope
Scope and closure — Kinda
List structure of program code — Nope
Evaluation and the Read-Eval-Print Loop — Nope
Control structures — Nope

The biggest difference which doesn't really make this a Lisp is probably that the code isn't a list, it's just a series of yield expressions. You can't really parse it as a list or manipulate it as a list. It's also missing cons/car/cdr which is sort-of the building block of Lisp languages!
You don't always have access to DLL source code.

Yeah, Apple doesn't have to approve apps written in Flash. Moreover, users that find a Flash app wanting can give it a negative rating.
You are changing your stance now. A lot of iPhones are kept in a case? Sure (and not even a huge amount: here (UK) I see around 20% with a cases and 80% without... maybe in the USA is the opposite).

Is the fact that they use a case evidence that the iPhone is fragile? This is where you are trolling. As I pointed out we use a lot of cases for a lot of situations.

I never understood why people get so angry when their car get scratched (isn't that what the car "shell" is for? Better a scratch on the wall than on on the engine!) but people do. So why could they not be keeping their phones in a protective case to avoid scratches? Or (just to give you another alternative) to clip it to the side? Or to personalise it (phones are very personal items, much more so than computers, for example).

So yeah: is it ironic that the iPhone is considered beautiful and yet people put it in a case? Sure. Is it an indication that it is fragile? Nope.
It's a trade off between using bandwidth (+ the extra hassles for the auto update infrastructure etc., but that is carried by the vendor) and reducing the risk of deployment issues that may not be caught by QA because they are machine-specific.

Plus, application dll's are in the magnitude of 100's of kilobytes - I 'waste' more bandwidth with the POP3 polling that my phone does each week than that. I would say that in this context the amount 'wasted' is so small that it can hardly be called a true 'waste'. (I rinse my cup before pouring in new coffee. Is that 'wasted' water? Technically yes, since it goes into the dishwasher at the end of the day anyway and reusing the cup during one day doesn't pose a health risk. That 'waste' won't prevent me from doing so though).

Why? Iteration.

Stacks and stuff are just a way for computers to do some forms of recursion. Recursion itself is just a general mathematical idea.

Look at the Natural numbers (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recursion#Example:_the_natural_...) or dynamic programming (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recursion#Recursive_optimizatio...). Dynamic programming is an interesting case, because in most languages the idiomatic way to express it uses iterative constructs.
Ask HN: Is it possible to use the Google Earth plugin on a commercial website?
I'm probably being stupid but half an hours searching has not led me to any concrete opinion either way!

Is anyone aware of the licensing/costs to embed the Google Earth plugin (and manipulate it with the API) on a site that has a commercial aspect to it? (i.e. charges users for a service that is partially related to the mapping function).
Anyone else find it odd that they didn't see this coming?

It's either scarily bad planning on Apple's part (let's not rule it out given their white iPhone 4 woes), or scarily bad journalism trying to turn "buying new machinery to manufacture a new part" into something exciting.

I accept that it's not a simple case of recompiling for iPhone but there will be large chunks of code, particularly around non-UI elements which can be reused.

I guess it will also allow these companies to reuse existing skills as much as existing code.
Gold and real estate.
also from the article: It is worth noting that DLLs no longer save disk space. In fact, the opposite is the case. If you have a look into the side-by-side repository (found in Windows' WinSXS directory), you will find, that its 5 GB on Windows 7 and even 7 GB on Windows Server 2008, containing 40.000 files with numerous versions of roughly all Microsoft Libraries. That's about 50% of the disk space used by Windows in total. We were needing a solution, but we created a monster
> who are vulnerable to a years-old security flaw.

That's an interesting point I hadn't considered.

I had always operated under the assumption that DLLs were a design compromise to allow code reuse on systems with relatively constrained storage.

All that being said, I still run into problems with missing or version mismatched DLLs quite frequently. It seems particularly bad with software provided by the O/S community, but there's a fair number of commercial programs where I run into these issues as well. The obvious solution to me is to just ship with all required DLLs (when possible) and install them in the local path for your app. Nobody is really going to notice another few MB missing these days.
It does not remove the visual processing step, it simply reduces the amount of visual processing required.

Eyes tend to automatically fixate on motion. When the whole page transitions the eye has no single point of change/motion to fix on and must scan the whole page to identify the shapes that represent a login form. With a dropdown, the only change/movement is the login form, which the eye is naturally drawn to.
Where did I say anything about overpriced model? Being smug doesn't help you. Prices are what they are because market dictates them like so. VFX Supervision costs roughly $3000-$5000 USD per session of roughly 2-4 hours. That is the standard rate. Price has its reasons why it is so high, not one of those is "because I say so". If you work on web sites for a client for $50, that doesn't mean it is a standard rate everybody else bills.

To address your second point, which was inferred in the text. Calculating time needed is, in my case, always based on experience. My experience, in my line of work, is pretty much in line with others in the field. For a trivial example, if you know that doing a 'flying logo' shot of 15 seconds takes you 2 hours to create from provided materials - you multiply that by 4 to give an estimate to your client. Because there will be revisions which eat time. In the end, I am rarely at the estimated amount because I have a safe buffer of X4, so client never gets screwed by getting a wrong estimate. It's better to overshoot an estimate than undershoot it. Because client can budget accordingly both time and money, which is really important in VFX. In the end client will get billed at that amount or less, or overshoot budget due to complications on his end.

I think it's not really the money that will be the motivator here, I think it will be the 'public' nature of it. If you're seeing that I'm failing, you may think I'm week, or I may want to impress you. I think it's about fail / impress vs. money.

We can still use a DLL with multiple applications - they're just shared between the different apps, and live with them.

So if I have two apps Foo and Bar that both use PrettyTreeView.DLL, then I just put a copy of it in both projects, and save it in the same repository. Means I can keep the functionality nicely carved off in one place, but I don't have to worry about updating one app and breaking the other.

Also, the DLL is only loaded in as needed - which saves on memory.

1) Something I need. Clothes, house, food. I try not to skimp on those things, I buy decent clothes, eat good food, live in a nice house. I always know that if times are tough, I can scale these back easily, but these things always get paid for first.

2) Something I want, but only if it performs its principle function correctly, operates reliably, and is cost effective. I'll buy a Honda over any Mercedes for example. (I could cars in this category even though I need one for transport because I could always go el cheapo used car for my actual needs).

3) If I have time or opportunity, luxury items, but only one or two per year -- they don't have to conform too tightly to the cost effective idea but I have to make sure I can use it. If I buy it and have no time to mess with it, then it's a waste. These usually take the form of travel once or twice a year.
I definitely think the design could of been cheaper. You have to hire people for their strengths and it seems these guys' strength is design. I would then outsource the PSD2HTML to a company like P2H.com, or a freelance (who would probably charge less!).

I imagine the design could of been done for half the price, if you spent a bit of time looking on Dribbble or similar, and outsourced the code.

I've come from a background of having to find the cheapest person, but also equally as high in quality, and you find some great places and tricks.
Keeping things in their own DLLs are handy to update modules without having to update the entire app.

I totally agree on the knives. If you want easy brownie points I recommend purchasing for your mother (or father if he does the cooking) a set a nice knives for the Holidays or birthday one year. You will be a hero the first time they cut a tomato and don't squish it.

My mother still thanks me and it has been over 6 years since I gave her a set of Wüsthof.
That makes sense, and says what I've felt/intuited (but never known for sure).

I typically put a username / password box on any pages I want people to be logged in for. Now, obviously, this includes pages that they must be logged in for, but those pages should enforce authentication more strictly; But what I really mean are the pages that don't 'require' authentication, but for any number of reasons, it is preferred.

Also, I've always believed that the 'two boxes on a page' approach draws them torwards the login, and acts more as a call to action than Twitter's dropdown approach.

As alabut says though, use where appropriate.
Thanks. The follow up question is , how much traction did you get to close Angel round. How much did you have to ramp up to get to Series A.

About me : I am trying to figure out the scope and product-market fit for my idea and trying to decide how much money I need to save up and how much functionality needs to be ready before taking the plunge.
My basic thumb rule is, does a spend now help the cause of my larger plan in life, or goes against it. So, spending on a new experience would make more sense for me than saving that money and investing it into something, as I've figured out that my experiences have been my biggest investments.

The question is how to make an objective judgement on whether a spend is beneficial in terms of the larger plan or not. For myself, I have learnt to do it over time, and know where to draw the line. (Not that I don't make on the spur expenses, but have noticed that these days, my thumb rules applies itself 'in the background' even when I am making an on the spur purchase)

I've been working on a book called Self Promotion for Geeks for a while now, based upon some support I got through HN comments a year or so ago. It covers several of these topics in the context of image and promoting startups, software, and ideas in respect of technically minded people. I wasn't planning on revealing anything for a few more weeks, but if anyone's interested, feel free to contact me or comment here and I'll contact you later.

(One remaining sticking points is whether I rename and retarget it as "for Software Developers," but my research shows so far that people are generally OK with the term "geek" covering the areas I mentioned. Welcoming opinions here still, though.)
