Instead of travelling from point A to point B, go live in another place like Thailand. Costs are cheap (you can live well on $500 a month) and you get to experience more of the culture rather than just travelling through.
I honestly don't know what I would do. Although I wish I would be strong enough to actually do worthwhile things that day, I'm not to sure I'd be capable of that. Chances are I would just pay more attention to the world. Try to absorb as much detail that I would otherwise overlook in the speed of a normal day.
And I would also remember and think back of all the great and happy moments of my life, and play them in my head.
And chances are that closer to the final hour, I would start questioning my non-belief in a deity and life after death, as the whole nothingness after death would probably scare the living bejesus out of me.

hey .. I am New to AppMakr, I want to build a iPhone app. Is free version reliable enough? Please advice
I'd be much more excited about a game having impressive gameplay, plot, characters, and concept rather than impressive graphics.

Way too often most everything else is sacrificed for graphics.
Harry Potter fandom is roughly 99% female. Out of several hundred people I knew in the fandom, I can think of 5 (including myself) that were male.

It is not hard to get a heavily biased female contributor ratio...you simply need to talk about things that are of interest to females. Computers and startups, unfortunately, do not seem to be among them.
So, I was bored

There was Betaloft (coworking), but they closed up shop about a year ago. The guy who started Betaloft has mentioned starting up a new space in Ogden.

Student and engineer, here: OS X on both my desktop and notebook.
I run Ubuntu with a guest XP installation at home, a Windows 7 box at work for my e-mail and other corporate BS and a Solaris 10 machine at work as well for real work.
Ubuntu dev and server, Windows7 pretty much just for photoshop! Havent had time to re-learn all the gimp shortcuts!
Rails and iOS developer, so naturally OS X on the desktop. Ubuntu on the server side (managed with Moonshine/Puppet).
Thank you very much, everyone :) Your comments have given me a lot of clarity on how to filter good clients and how not to fall for spec work.
FreeBSD desktop user here. We're as rare as the dodo, apparently.
Donated.

BTW: What was the original cost of Trumpet? (for an end user)
great idea. i just signed up for the mountain view one. can't wait to find out who else is applying!
Mostly OS X, plus ubuntu on my netbook. I suppose I'm going to have to get used to Windows when I work at Microsoft this summer... (haven't really used Windows since XP)
I actually know a fair number of Japanese people who read this site so was assuming there are more. I also know quite a few westerners living in Tokyo who speak excellent Japanese with the ability to communicate well in business.

But I agree with your overall point - native level in either language is not necessary but we are looking for someone who can deal with Japanese customers, code and communicate well with the rest of us. I'll update the docs.
Agreed. I left out a comment about the number of people who actually satisfy those reqs. :)
Like what melling said, if you need convincing, you're probably not in the right state of mind.

Personal experience, I just fucking did it. No talk, no post on HN on whether I should or not. A little less conversation a little more action please.
Works well until you want to distinguish between searching en.wikipedia.org and en.wiktionary.org.

(While writing this I realized I didn't actually remember the exact domain Wikipedia and Wiktionary used... so I ran a "test" search on both.)
I corrected the URL, Wordpress.com as you know has really long URLs so I didn't want to post the whole thing.

I am not sure if I am following how Firefox 4 and no tags is a spam?
A better title would be "Gratifying My Intellectual Curiosity Regarding In-n-Out". It still pleads relevance to HN, and is even more difficult to argue to be inaccurate.
This may be an unfashionable point to raise, but as the line continues to blur between CG and live action, we need to check the ethics of the content we're producing.

Vista is currently on my coding laptop, and I will be replacing it with with Win 7 or Ubuntu.
I dual boot Windows 7 and Ubuntu on my laptop.

I want to check out Mac sometime soon though.
Use Windows 7 when doing engineering things (nearly all engineering programs are Windows only). Dual boots into Ubuntu for all my web development work.

OS X at work (Rails mostly & PHP).
Fedora, pretty much exclusively. Well, except for a random CentOS box here and there, and one really old, crufty box running RH9 (don't ask.)

Edit, just noticed the "desktop OS" specific part. So, yeah, Fedora on my laptop, and - if you want to count this - Android on my phone.

But of course there is someone ready for the next generation of technology: Epic, the ones selling it.

I too have fond memories of Trumpet. I remember even then (I must have been 15 or so) thinking that this software was so important and likely undervalued. Of course, I used it and never donated as I didn't have any money - something I intend to rectify now! For a while in those days, I was behind a SOCKS firewall, and I convinced Peter to add SOCKS support to the stack itself - something which perhaps ignited my love of somewhat abstraction violating clever hacks! And of course it helped start my career in computing, as did APANA and a bunch of other very kind Australians.

Dual boot my work laptop Windows 7 (Work image) and Ubuntu (personal image). The "browsing laptop" at home is on XP and Ubuntu. The netbook is Ubuntu NBR. The desktop is Ubuntu. Two other laptops had recent, uh, physical failures in their LCDs and mainboards getting too thirsty - both ran Ubuntu.

Auto-generated content is the future. Look at how good Minecraft is. The terrain in that game is all procedurally generated.
Designer here, so OS X at home and work, DropBox across the board for files (hence making the laptops stationary), but I also use Outlook, PowerPoint - and check IE7/8 using Parallels when I absolutely have to. But I prefer Chrome. ;)
We're hiring iOS, android, web frontend and backend engineers. Shoot me an email (ryan @dailybooth) if interested.

It's probably also worth mentioning that we currently only have 2 engineers. So if you have interest in working on the full stack and having your code pushed to production where you can actually see users get excited over what you build, then make sure you get in touch. The thing that will hold us back the most is engineering resources (which we're actively attempting to fix).
"[...] while asking districts to negotiate with unions to freeze teachers' salaries and to eliminate salary bumps for those who earn master's degrees."

Good thing, I'm tired of all those teachers driving by in their Bentleys ashing their Cuban out the window. Why should they be rewarded for being better educated? That doesn't happen in priv... oh wait, it does. Nevermind.

I live in Philly, so this issue is pretty frustrating.
OS X on my netbook (a hackintosh). Debian on my home server.

Hey, guy who's been here for a couple days and has never written a comment more than 50 words long who just flagged a J Kenji Lopez-Alt story --- written by probably the best food writer on the web today --- about something you can actually do at In-N-Out burger, an SFBA hacker moth-light?

I just flagged your comment.

I suspect my flag will have about as much impact as yours, but, like yours, it sure made me feel better.

Welcome to Hacker News. We like articles like this.
You could definitely do it, it'd just get annoying - no benefit to a setup like that.
I ran freebsd in virtualbox at microsoft, and nobody cared.

I personally would not, but more importantly, I think very few non-geeks would. Most people don't get hierarchical filesystems; they are thoroughly unintuitive to non-programmers. I shudder at the thought of trying to explain that "this folder is actually (sort of) the same thing as that Facebook album."
Strange - looking at a lot of the icons, like the ones following, they certainly must have been designed to resemble Windows icons, but I can't find the exact icons they're modeled after. I'm really not sure where these would stand, as far as copyright goes - a number of them have enough resemblance to real Windows icons (or other trademarks) that you'd probably get legal grief for trying to use them in your own product, for instance.

But, if the bug is a copy/paste of a variable that does exist in that scope, he's exactly correct that it could survive for weeks and be very difficult to actually track down (because of the sort of blindness to details that happens when you read "idioms" like this by visual pattern matching rather than actually reading the code).
CLO here, so naturally a typewriter ;-)
What are revenues like over there?
If I ever leave facebook, etc, I would be willing to pay for a one-time use of this to make a dump. Although how would you allow me to install a fuse plugin which was only good for a day? I guess you'd have to offer the dump as a tarball, or host it as a network filesystemwhich I was only allowedto mount for a day.

Fries in a milkshake? That sounds even worse than my friend's practice at Mexican restaurants of using the honey (intended for sopapillas) on his tortilla chips. Never could figure that one out.
Unfortunately, as a (very) regular patron of the relatively new In-n-Out on Veterans Blvd in Redwood City, I can attest that many of these items aren't actually known to all In-N-Out outlets/cashiers. In particular, the Flying Dutchman is not very well known, and cashiers either try to order (A) A protein style Double-Double (with all of the sauce), or, (B) when they enter it as a Z-Plain Protein, I don't get the cheese.

So - at the end of the day, I've had the most success carefully describing exactly how I want my burger prepared - they are pretty much prepared to do anything. Use the Secret Menu as a guide, but be prepared for Cashiers _not_ to know some of the names.

Not as a consumer product, no.

More abstractly, if you provided a unified API across many platforms which application developers could use to access any such service, it would be a massive hit.

When POSIX got to a point where you could assume it was mostly implemented across OSes, it decimated development cost.

If you could define a good cross-platform API for web services (and provide an implementation), developers would beg you to take their money.
"Native implementations on the major browsers" will only harm coffeescript, since we'll never see rapid development and evolution of the language and maybe have to deal with the implementation incompatibility in different browsers.
I switch between three systems for development on a daily basis:

Ubuntu Laptop
Windows 7 Laptop
Windows Vista Desktop (my gaming machine, but I do a fair amount of development on that as well)

The OS doesn't matter so much between SSHing into a server or VirtualBox, but it's pretty close to a 50/50 split between Windows and Linux for me.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RSXyztq_0uM

Better version. I could appreciate it more.
Probably more ahead of the game on new shiny things than Gentoo, too. Arch is the only OS that I have seen where the difference between testing and stable is about two hours.

No, really. The official process requires two signoffs on each architecture (x86 and amd64), and then they ship it.
Hacker group vows 'cyberwar' on US government, business
I agree with the clueless argument, but I also think there are mountains of bugs that exist simply because one made a mistake and a dynamically typed languages can't really do much for them there.
I would really enjoy getting the chance to hack on a mainframe. I have the idea that 40 (50?) years of continuously developed OS from OS/360->today must be something really amazing to use and to work with. But, last time I looked it was nearly impossible to get a login to one.
OSX/W7 at home. Eventually it'll be OSX/Ubuntu if possible.

At work? XP, and I have an Ubuntu VM. Bloody XP.
It reminds me of the iPad (original) not having as much RAM as the iPhone 4. Does it make the iPad (original) impossible to use? No. But it's a shame in a new product to have a less-than-stellar component.
it is my understanding that it is coming in honeycomb, i saw a bug report i think about it just last week that was then several months old
Yeah, I agree entirely with the initial work. I don't have a problem buckling down (in one place) for the next 6-12 months and getting the product launched.

The issue, I think, is if I can actually run it from abroad, after it's been launched. Or rather, if it's even worth trying to manage it part-time - perhaps I'd be better off just focusing on it 100% for the next 1-2 years, and then see what happens.

(My apologies for not being clear in the initial post.)
It might also be a solution for programmers who don't tend to label themselves "LanguageX programmers".
It's just a Linux with a browser instead of a shell, nothing too fancy :)

There is a 64 bit kernel floating around but I haven't tried installing that yet.
I've been lucky enough to hang out with the DailyBooth crew a few times, and they're all awesome. If you're looking for an amazing place to work, definitely apply.
Yeah, I'd use Emacs too, if it only had a good editor...
Back when I was compiling Linux on a 120MHz PA-7200 I would literally wait for days to compile KDE and a few other related packages, but with a modern CPU I now wait only a few minutes. I'm not sure that Gentoo has any real advantages over Arch but it's pleasant to use and it makes me feel good to tune my compiler flags and rebuild everything.

Windows 7 at work, Ubuntu at home.

I'm dual booting Slackware 13.1 amd64 and Windows 7 Home Premium. I just picked up a new job as a PC tech / web designer. My data recovery work is done in Windows, since most of my repairs are on Windows computers, and it's easier to work on a local LAMP server instead of borking a staging server.

- Teachers don't bother with master's degrees

Archiving is the best deal around. $25 and I have 1.25GB of my past ten years of bookmarks saved. (Minus a few hundred dead links from the early days of del.icio.us.)

I bookmark so I can look at something later, and the unpredictable perishability of the web defeats that purpose. Archiving snatches victory from the jaws of defeat. :-)

I would like to see tag hierarchies à la del.icio.us, if you were bored and wanted to implement them.
I just can't imagine having Windows on my computers again. *nix(especially Linux) feel much more user friendly to me. It is absolutely uncomfortable using Windows when sometimes I just have to(at school, fixing somebody else's computer etc.) Arch Linux is great. Ubuntu will be better if it has a rolling release.

This looks like a useful utility but also underscores a problem with Ext/Sencha. Namely that it is a tad overengineered and does not work well with other tools in the web development ecosystem. Ext's giant widget library creates and manages copious amounts of convoluted DOM nodes to provide desktop like components that never quite make it out of the uncanny valley.

If you were starting out with some plain semantic markup and adding interaction with jQuery (or Prototype or Mootools) you would do just fine using plain Firebug.

I am wary of tools that brag about solving problems they've caused in the first place.
