Seriously, what's with all of these comments trying to promote/necessitate that to make some sense of your place in the technology community, you'd better speak english?

Why can't this resource be appreciated for what it is: a resource for the Spanish speaking community that might be interested in technology, but are unable to pick up the language for whatever personal reasons they may have?
So? A book still can have flaws if all the other books in the genre are worse.

Also, I am pretty sure Mossberg didn't lie about the battery. Mileage varies. Does he have to check with everyone else to make sure his numbers check out?
I really like the idea, and thought the site was aesthetically pleasing. I don't mean to sound like I am complaining, as this is my first post, but I want to help you improve the site. (I am no expert on viral sites, but I assume the better the site the more likely it will go viral.)

There are two things I see possibly going wrong:
1. www.3pics.me should redirect to 3pics.me. I know most techies think this fairly common knowledge, and it is quickly becoming so, but I still have family who think you have to tack www on front of all websites you go to. So my basic thought is if Joe Average can't find the site, it will severely limit your audience.

2. You are using just a cookie to remember if someone has already voted. This is a problem. A small script such as the following could quickly inflate the results.

for i in $( seq 10 ); do wget --no-cookie --post-data='upload%5Bid%5D=34' 3pics.me/1; done

(I tested it to check to see if my suspicion was correct, I only ran with 10 requests with one second intervals between each request to minimize any possible damage. upload[id] =34 has 10 extra votes. Sorry.)

Like I said, I don't want to sound like I am just a grouch, but I wanted to give you a heads up before someone else figures this out and abuses it.

I hope you succeed,
pwp
Permanence and Formality.
Hilarious, but true. (I've noticed a very strong, anti-Gruber sentiment developing on HN over the past couple months.)

I wish more people would just admit to not liking Gruber.
You are missing the point, the only way to get gcc on your mac is to install some version of Xcode.
"And you can accomplish in a few short minutes what it takes a dedicated programming team weeks to put into beta"

Ouch man that hurt.

But seriously Wufoo is looking much more impressive than the last time I saw it. Had no idea you guys could process payments. Before watching that video I would only recommend Wufoo to friends if they had very simple form needs, nice to know that you can do much more.
How to deploy your code from GitHub automatically
Scheme is a great language to get going w/ functional programing and lisp type languages. I would suggest using Racket. It is 'batteries included', design for teaching so there is tons of documentation and has support for R5 and R6 versions of scheme.

Most programmers I know started w/ an imperative language. I didn't and feel grateful for it. Learning programming in a different way tends to mean even if you get a job doing imperative program, you usually think different from others and that can lead to excellent conversations, designs etc.
I believe this is based on what used to be called Mozilla Bespin. Interesting project to be sure. I'm skeptical overall though.
I followed the roots of this with interest, back when it was called Bespin, then SkyWriter. The idea is compelling: most web developers just need a highlighting-capable text editor with online connectivity. Many of us work directly on staging servers, so in theory if there was a capable web-based editor around, you could work from pretty much any computer without having to install something. You could log into your web-based editor and all your bookmarks, SSH certs, everything would be there.

Now, Cloud9 is - from what I understand - the commercial version of this concept. Right now, signup seems to be broken, but I'm curious how it turned out.
That's awesome. I'm glad they are giving the users more options. I searched for how to bake a cake to finally block ehow from my results. How good that feels. Trash sites are about to feel the sting I imagine. That reminds me, need to block about.com too.

Flipboard and the end of "sourciness"
Just saying that this thread has been fascinating and illuminating for a novice C++/C programmer like myself. It reads like a decent article comparing the two languages, though I'm no expert and can't judge for sure.

This is why I read HN.
very elegant design man. How did you do the design and create the logo?

From my perspective, i think it could catch on given that it gets to the right people initially. It reminds me of hot or not accept your facing off against yourself.
Well you have some valid points but I'd like to remind you the screen size is meaningless with a weaker graphics chip.
If sex ratios are as important as Mr Wei’s argues, the only way the Chinese can restore global financial order is to either import women from other countries, export men, or promote polyandry.

… or start a very bloody war with someone.
As a marketer, seeing this reminds me to stay grounded and ignore the hype and focus on the most important thing: conveying to the world who we are and what we stand for.
Yeah, that was my first thought, too.
I wonder if "disruptive" is really the right term here. As you point out, Intel dominates in market applications such as servers, desktop PCs, and netbooks -- and it's not at all clear to me that Intel's business there is threatened in any way by ARM chips or business model.

Where ARM has succeeded is in new markets (phones and tablets) that both rely on low-power operation and are relatively immune to legacy code or chip architecture issues. As far as I'm aware, Intel's never been successful in those spaces and even took the strategic step of dumping its ARM (Xscale) operation.

My point being, if Intel's secure in established markets and uncompetitive in newer markets, that's not a technological disruption in the classic Christenson sense. It's merely the consequence of earlier strategic decisions to not go after newer low-power application markets. Where would Intel be, for example, if in the early days they had dumped the microprocessor business to focus on their core business of memory chips?

edit: typo
I saw the anchor you pointed to in the link (the Account Details comparison section), yes, but reading through the page again it looks like you addressed the things I mention in the very bottom section, which I glossed over on my first read – "Square has some neat features..." – my mistake, sorry!

Yeah, It'd be cool that were more apparent somehow. The page (well designed as it is) is heavily geared towards the fee comparison, and offers only quick takes on other details. It'd be cool to see a more thorough review of both units.

Keep up the good work!
On the grounds that you don't have to run out and buy anything just because you can.
Ask HN: What's up with Facebook friends liking virus sites?
In past few days I have noticed a ton of my friends posting links .info sites. Their headlines are sensational and catchy, as well each has a photo of something pertaining to story or photo of youtube video. Im certain these are virus sites as those posting would never post something about miley cyrus and the other sensational junk these bad actors are creating.

Anyone else notice this and is there a weak point in Facebook?
Wait, the OKWS web site runs on apache?
Visual classification sounds interesting. So you render the page and use location-based features to extract content?
> The comparison isn't between straight-C vs. straight C++. It's between C with a good glue language (say, Python or Lua) vs. straight C++.

You can use several glue languages with C++ rather more easily and powerfully than C. See chaiscriptor QTScript. Also luabind and perl and python C++ bindings. Introducing scripting glue languages into the equation only further strengthens C++'s advantages.

> The equivalent C++ is:

The new initializer syntax is widely supported enough now. You can write:

std::vector<std::string> frobs {"foo", "bar", "baz"};

And even if you don't have a newer compiler you can use boost assign.

I was talking like the 2002 models, sorry for the confusion. I personally have no experience with any new Nokia phones.
Also, the download via http://www.opensource.apple.com/release/developer-tools-324/ includes a built version of gcc, i686-apple-darwin10-gcc-4.2.1.
Perhaps because they can claim iTunes, because of the iTunes Store isn't an end-product so much as a platform upon which people make purchases. They can account for the revenue from the greater iTunes app through each purchase you make in the store. Same goes with the App Store.

Not sure how they deal with people who never purchase anything, but perhaps they don't have to be 100% thorough about it.
They look nice. I feel the same way about Feedr & BeyondPod on Android and EverPaper is pretty nice as well.
I think the key point here is that Intel is one company while ARM is many. All feed each other improving competing designs, proving technologies and exploring their markets in ways a single company could not do with volumes that dwarf (and have been consistently dwarfing) the PC market.

As humongous as it is, Intel simply can't compete against the combined power of ARM plus its myriad of licensees. Eventually, from the diversity of the ARM ecosystem would emerge a competitor for Intel's (and AMD's) x86 lineup. Once set in motion, it was a matter of time.

An off-hand observation: Nokia's late-90's rise looks just as spectacular as Apple's in the 00's.
Interesting...

Which Api Rules does it violate btw?
Big fan talking here, it's how I primarily read long form content (iphone and kindle)

This sentence worried me though:

>With these great new additions, many customers won’t even >need the bookmarklet anymore.

Without the bookmarklet Instapaper stops being useful to me - I have no interest in another source of information, however 'social' or curated that may be.

I feel that instapaper is trying to move into the 'sharing cool stuff' space, which is already over saturated, instead of concentrating on it's original stronghold of providing a great consumption experience.
Marco Arment, the founder of Instapaper, was also the former lead developer of Tumblr. It's clear that he has great a sense for UI design.

I'm glad for the new Pinboard integration.

My regular flow is to have everything (RSS for blogs with long posts and RSS for simple alert/notification blogs) in Google Reader and filter through it there, only viewing everything once. Anything longer than a paragraph in there goes to Instapaper, to really read later.

I sent random links and website I want to save to Instapaper as well and was moving them to Pinboard manually on the website, but this will definitely save me time.
Key point everyone forgets in today's IT sector and you said it yourself is LAN. To say NK lacks LANs is foolish, to maintain any kind of the military or industrial operations they have, requires some form of LAN, as do any type of similar thing anywhere in the world. Plus forgetting the internal LAN setups, NK has it's own state run nets used for commerce and operations with neighboring China.
I found IPaper to be much faster and a better UX overall.
I usually ignore these type of things until yesterday when I noticed that a very intelligent, technical friend of my had a post like this.
Because the extent of user interaction is the sign-up process?

If you didn't know who this commercial was about before seeing it, you wouldn't know until the very end. The Apple logo is only on screen for maybe 1 second, and yet it still plants the company firmly in your memory.

It's great.
Most of the material for technology news, articles, research, etc.. in spanish, suck.

Kudos to whomever created this, to help level up those resources.

And I'm a huge fan of pushing everyone to learn english.. but I wish we had our own content in spanish as well. It would really boost the industry in South America.
My experiences are the exact opposite of yours....not that you're wrong, more likely because of different industries. Here, headhunters add almost no value to the equation. More than 50% of them don't have the remotest clue what the technologies they're screening for are. It's really a sad state.

Whenever I work direct for a company, I always make way more (basically, my cut, and the headhunters cut).

Despite this, companies seem to always work through headhunters...I've never seen any manager ask any developer "do you know any good ____ people that might be available?" It's really bizarre.
> wouldn't be better for everyone if Latin American Hackers would become fluent in English?

It would also be better for everyone if humanity as a whole switched to renewable energy sources next year. Unfortunately there's the small matter of feasibility. Learning a language is not trivial for everyone.

I actually started using it today, maybe two hours before it got posted on Scobleizer and while I didn't experience any super-fancy code assist features, it is fast, responsive and does not get in the way. Fell in love right away and I am basically not a fan of hosted coding environments like this but as my code is pretty much standalone JS for now it seemed to make perfect sense.

Basically I only went there because I had it bookmarked a few days ago and Aptana crashed my box when I tried to create a new file (yeah, I know, that was a wild idea). But now I am kind of glad I did.

Too bad it's down right now but if you can't get through and haven't seen it yet, give it a shot some time later.
Guess it is, but as I pointed, there are companies forcing its folk to use OSX for development because it's popular around the developer community. I think OSX is a multimedia software with unix base.
If you want to argue about that we can. But why should we argue? its late at night. And ultimately we all die eventually. Maybe my wife is shady. Check out her blog: claudiayoga.com and you'll see how she helps people.
Not nitpicking, no. He is a head of the company, and his appearance contributes to the overall company's image. Consider what your first impression of a company would be if its CEO were a pierced dude with dreadlocks. Same goes here, "relaxed" and "approachable" is nice for socializing, but in business context it might be less desirable than "reliable" and "organized".

I will take back the unkempt, but I would still insist on Chris needing a shave. Now, back to the downvoting frenzy.
I would watch out for any partner that is not hardcore worried about expenses. Not to the point of stupidity, but acting cavalier about them. I like people who treat a startup as a marathon, not a sprint.
I dislike Gruber. I dislike him because I don't think his content is worthwhile. I dislike him because I find his content INCREDIBLY biased. I dislike him because he applies fanboyism and tries to pass it off as objective criticism.

And to be perfectly honest, I dislike him MORE because of how many people are huge fans of his. I don't find him notable or worthwhile and so the excess exposure just heightens my distaste. It's not logical, but it's true.
This is one of the author's better posts. Some of it seems reminiscent of Paul & Moynihan's "What I Learned Losing a Million Dollars", particularly the point of confusing rapid success in one area (stocks or poker) with the necessary expertise to invest in a new area (hotels in the blog post, thoroughbred horses in the book).

I will echo another comment, however. Three "Follow me on Twitter" links in a single article came across as desperate begging rather than offering extra value to the reader.
I spent a Spring/Summer working in an open floor office with floor-to-ceiling windows looking out over San Mateo and SF Bay. Man, that was a productive time, 75F and sunny just always puts me in a good mood. I love having a view as well, to inspire the mind.
Well these days writing an http server in C++ is about 30 lines of code using POCO or boost.asio. If your business model was "serve a shit-ton of dynamic requests super cheap" it might make just as much sense as ever to build the whole thing in C++ embedded directly in a C++ webserver.
This is just a small point, but the article says that Intel will "close the energy efficiency gap with ARM" in 2011-2012 with the release of the latest Atom processor. What it overlooks is the fact that it won't be competing with current ARM chips. Nvidia and Samsung and TI aren't going to just sit there waiting for Intel to catch up; they'll be improving their designs and moving to smaller fabrication, just like Intel is doing.
The risk for Intel (and x86) is that ARM-based processors appear to be moving up-market into servers and datacenters, a sign of technology disruption.

- Calxeda (formerly Smooth-stone) is developing servers based on ARM-based technology. (http://www.calxeda.com/)

- In November 2010 it was revealed that Dell is prototyping ARM-based Cortex-A9 servers.

- In January 2011, Nvidia announced Project Denver, with "plans to build high-performance ARM based CPU cores, designed to support future products ranging from personal computers and servers to workstations and supercomputers."

- Microsoft recently announced that Windows 8 will support both x86 and ARM architectures.

- In a February 2011 analysts presentation, Warren East, CEO of ARM Holdings, suggested that ARM is seeking to expand into the PC and server market: "There's a blurring between computers and smartphones, and ARM's success in smartphones is helping us get into computing...Cortex A processors support multiprocessing and that delivers the high level of performance required by server applications." (http://www.theregister.co.uk/2011/02/01/arm_holdings_q4_2010...).

In October 2010, I posted a related article, "The End of x86?," that examines the potential disruption of x86 by ARM using Christensen's disruptive technology framework: http://www.fernstrategy.com/2010/10/21/the-end-of-x86/
Man, been wondering the same thing! However, I believe these sites employ some kind of like-hijack as you reach the page. I kind of clicked on one of them. Or not even that, I saw some friend liking this crap, it said the website in the post so I copy-pasted it in the address bar. Saw crap. Left. Safe-checked my profile. Nothing. But like 15 mins later I checked my profile again, bam, there it was. I had liked this friggin crap by directly visiting this site!
Now I can't remember which one as I camped out on the newsfeed and marked all that crap as spam..
fantastic. I love the attitude.

my question is, how do you get into a situation where you make a business that traditionally waits for you to come to them, come to you?

By making Macs run on Unix, it initially took marketshare away from people who were installing Linux on commodity laptops.

Sure, but the original commenter wondered whether people who dislike C++ know C++ well. Yossi no doubt knows C++ pretty well.
I don't see many startups who display evidence of holding the belief that "marketing is about values". There's a lot of focus on making something useful, but not telling a story that will resonate with a human being's heart. I wonder why this is...
Yeah, I built myself a (non-mac) computer in 2003 for about $1,000, and am using it as I write this. I wouldn't have set aside that money to buy Apple stock, and I have no idea the stock value of the various component vendors (the intel components were a few hundred at most).

If you're going to buy a computer anyway, you'd be measuring the Apple anyway, not the entire product cost. That is, if an equivalent Apple machine cost $1,500, then the money I could have spent on Apple stock by building my own is $500, not $1,500.
