I think the author is fair in expecting proper testing since there weren't too many variations to handle. Firmware upgrades aren't too complex, especially when you have h/w spec lock-downs. You just need to build in the right safe guards, and build a culture of thorough testing. This looks like a typical bureaucratically executed project with time+cost deadlines to meet, and narrow-minded bosses to please.
Also important: it is the kind of software that HN readers are likely to buy. Knowing about the crappy post-purchase experience is valuable information to anybody considering the purchase.

You got a wrong answer. Tradeshift does not use the email as a primary key in any way, we just require uniqueness (all keys are uuid in Tradeshift). It is true that you cannot change the email yourself, but that's simply because of priorities - at the moment that functionality has been postponed in order to improve the core app instead.
Valid point, I'll lower the main image a bit and figure how to keep at least the sides of the ad clickable if it's still covered.

I work at Softwire – we have a paid internship program in London. Details are here: http://softwire.com/recruitment.htm

It's a friendly and relaxed small company. We do software development and consultancy for other companies, so it's not a "startup" in the HN sense, but instead we get to write new software in a variety of languages and platforms for a different product every 3-6 months.

You can apply on our website if it takes your fancy. We're always looking for top class developers for internships and graduate positions.

Your comment suggests you don't know about DNLA, which all sorts of Android devices and Consumer Electronics (TVs, DVD players, games consoles) have had for ages.

I'm personally excited for Mobile Hi-definition Link which Samsung is rolling out right now to high end phones. It makes the standard USB micro connection do double duty as video out and can power your device from the TV at the same time via a single cable. Should make big screen gaming using the mobile device as a combined controller and game console a lot more viable.

It is of course an industry standard, rather than some Apple-only proprietary cable, dongle or licensing scheme, which I thought we had moved past.
Market theory as I was taught at university during my degree. And you?

As I said the term elasticity isn't meaningless, but without defining the variables you are defining as elastic (or inelastic) it doesn't make sense, at least not without assumptions which obviously may or may be wrong.

Personally by default I'd assume that you were referring to price elasticity of demand - that is the relationship between changes in price and the resulting change in demand, however there are many other types of elasticity (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elasticity_(economics)).

So if you want to explain exactly which variables "market elasticity" refers to then that would be great, but as "market" is a very loose term, on it's own it's not very useful.

An entertaining machine by Dell: Inspiron M5030 2800B3D Laptop
One of the key features of laptops is mobility, it's still nice to plug in a big screen and a keyboard for when you need to. People seem excited about that feature in a phone, why not in a tablet? (Note this may not make sense if you've accidentally bought a tablet that only functions well when paired with a full computer).
The LuaJit FFI includes a C parser so you can pretty much just paste in the header file. http://luajit.org/ext_ffi_tutorial.html - its not complete yet but seems pretty nice. You could do something like that for Ruby. For Lua it is also much faster than using the standard C bindings as the optimizer can see what is going on.

Having an FFI like this in a language is a really nice feature.

Nice!!! Love the easy look & feel...
Nice site and design. It seems it doesn't really add much to YSlow but it's nice anyway.

It does have the same problem that all the other speed checkers that I've tried. When you have a decently optimized page, most of the errors or problems it founds have to do with external services over which you do not have much control.

For example, facebook widgets and google apis (analytics, charts, ...).

It is always a little frustrating when you are told to change something that you can not really influence:

Rate my startup: Fasterplan, a social appointment finder without sign-up
Hi folks, I am the creator of Fasterplan. I hope I can get some valueable comments here. With Fasterplan you can find an appointment with friends/colleagues for something (e. g. cinema, dinner, mountain hiking, playing hockey, a party, a business meeting...). Fasterplan is similar to sites like doodle, whentomeet etc., but has a bit of a different focus. The idea is to have a common billboard which everybody who has the link to it can edit freely. Only the link is necessary, no sign-up is required. It is widget based, so in the future if the concept works more widgets are added (e. g. maps).

So, what do you think about it? Ah, this is the url: www.fasterplan.com

Nah, I'm serious - lot of folks have no interest in game consoles, and for those who do, my understanding was that the Wii outsold them both put together.
Judging quality is difficult, and sadly does not scale well. It is much easier to measure time. A lot of (bad) management is about measuring things which are easy to measure instead of measuring things which matter.

That's also one of the rationale for constantly asking to do the same stuff with less (money, employees, etc...): because trying to measure efficiency is almost hopeless in most companies, just asking that 10 % improvements actually leads to actual improvements globally. You just don't know where exactly. The bigger the organization, the more efficient this inefficiency is in some ways.

Of course, in small companies, this is awful, because most smart people, especially smar engineers, really hate this way of working.

It seems like this has a lot of overlap with features Facebook already provides. For example, when my friends and I want to plan something, we create a message thread with all of us in it and discuss it there.

If you have unique features that Facebook doesn't already provide, I rec integrating with the Facebook platform. >500M people can instantly use your product. That's powerful.

This guy just doesn't cut it to be an entrepreneur.

Other start-ups developing a product similar to yours will help you boost your business, not sink it. PG made it by doing something other people were making too. He thinks the programming language his company were using gave them an edge. I don't think so. I think it wasn't about the programming language itself: it was about smart people who were able and dared to really think different, knowing that "different" was "better".

Your business is just your people and you, not your product. Think about building a great team, not a great product.
I was told by your supporter that I won't be able to change my email address since my "entire Tradeshift profile is tied to the email address." I naturally assumed that meant that you use email addresses as primary keys, since I see no other reason why it would take a long time to implement email address change (especially since the form for it is already implemented, although the input field is read-only).

Anyway, didn't mean to give you bad press or anything - I like your product, and as a Dane I think it's great to see Danish startups doing well. Good luck with your product.

Slightly off topic, but I recall reading an article about the time windows 95 was released. Video (not online, just video) was the new tech of the time.

Bill Gates had said back then that he could see a future where we could watch real time video on the computer via the internet.

The magazine mocked it, with a punchline I think went like 'We already have that Bill, it's called a television'.

Say what you want about the man, but he was a visionary.

Perl might beat C++ if it was included.
I'd up vote this 100x if I could. From my experience dealing with large scale build systems (building 10k - 100m SLOC every 12 hours or so) nothing matters more than IO throughput. Better network architecture, fatter pipes, faster drives, more RAM, bigger L3/L2/L1 caches will all almost always have more impact than more or faster cores.

Most of the time, as you point out, multithreading only ameliorates the IO cost because it allows something in RAM or cache to be processed. If those additional threads need to hit network or disk, however, you're boned and get significantly less benefit. In many cases, you can get a bigger win by not multithreading and simply being smarter about your IO.

Also worth reiterating, something raised both by you and the article: MEASURE! You know nothing about how to optimize your app or system until after you've very thoroughly measured, questioned the results, and re-assessd your assumptions. So often design assumptions made when writing your app or building your system turn out not to be true after measurement.
No snark intended, but I feel like you are basically describing reddit, with its subreddits and customizable front page. If you unsubscribe from main, funny, pics, politics, askreddit, and add programming, computer science, mathematics, etc to your front page, you will get a pretty high quality experience, IMO (at least no 4chan garbage). The main difference that I perceive between the two sites is that reddit seems to have a slightly younger demographic, skewing towards college students, while HN seems to be mostly older, working professionals, and silicon valley heavy-hitters. Remember when reddit was the upstream digg? Now digg is dead and HN is the upstream reddit. If there's an upstream HN, by the time I find out about it, people will be complaining about how badly the community has declined lately. :)

EDIT: Never mind, I just unsubscribed from all the default reddits and it's still mostly crap. Carry on...
yep. and in all this time, pg has managed to keep the site hovering just above the shark, as he once put it.

Ask HN: Learning Complexity Classes
Hey guys
I have an interview coming up in a few days and I've come to know from my friends that they stress a lot on having a good idea about complexity classes. So is there any resource on the web or book where a newbie can get good answers to what are NP classes and how is NP complete different from NP hard and the likes.

Thanks
Wow. This is the best example I have ever seen of function over form. I think the data returned is properly structured and the amazon/netflix affiliate capabilities mixed withed the seo capabilities of archiving the most most common searched (make sure to cover this in your privacy policy) are enough of a reason for you to get some design and possibly a new name for the site. Name first, then 99designs... good luck.

I lose a bit of faith in Ubuntu every single time they change something major without community involvement, or sufficient testing on real machines out there. There have been so many times where S. said "we're doing it that way" and that was it - changes went in a day before freeze and devs kept saying that it was planned all along and you could voice your opinion earlier... Additionally due to only one release line, changes go in which break stuff all the time in new releases and are not fixed until half a year later (if at all). This can be really annoying if your gpu depends on those changes.

I don't believe they would have to change much to be "nice" again... just start working with people in many small ways instead of playing apple with "you will like it" attitude.
I'm pretty sure they aren't making as much money as they want, though. If they make some deal out of Youtube, it would be win-win. Plus, another win for users (as long as it's free or cost at a decent price).

I'm so ready to cancel my cable tv.
The only way they could last is to host inside Tor or I2P. I think that'd be fine for what the site is, a bunch of links to internet-facing torrents.

Hardware-accelerated 2D graphics

Android 3.0 offers a new hardware-accelerated OpenGL renderer that gives a performance boost to many common graphics operations for applications running in the Android framework. When the renderer is enabled, most operations in Canvas, Paint, Xfermode, ColorFilter, Shader, and Camera are accelerated. Developers can control how hardware-acceleration is applied at every level, from enabling it globally in an application to enabling it in specific Activities and Views inside the application.
