I'm currently using subsonic on my home server to stream my music, subsonic is guaranteed to be free forever, is open source, runs anywhere java does, transcodes formats, does video, allows downloads/uploads, has multiple full-featured mobile apps for almost every mobile platform, pretty much everything you could want. Setup is easy as pie, and it will even give you a subdomain in subsonic.org if you donate to the developer.

As far as I can see, your service is subsonic + the hassle of registering, yet another company with your personal details, less features and the possibility that it may become a freemium service in the future.

So, what, exactly, does your service offer?
I put the site together with all kinds of startups in mind not just tech.

Why not create other kinds of businesses through this approach?
Your question is not clear.
Would you support if browsers made password fields not-starred-out on HTTP sites? Just to make it clear that there is no implication of security there?
I agree very much, good comment. I think meta-programming in a language such as C makes a lot of sense, as you want to be able to generate efficient, compiled code, with as little developer effort as possible. Metaprogramming makes it possible to specialize abstract types, data structures, and so on.

But why does the metaprogramming syntax in C have to be so convoluted, bloated and difficult? Do we really need >30 second compile times per file on recent CPUs? If a language is hard to parse both for computers and humans, something went wrong. It should be easy to read for one of both, preferably both.

IMHO, these kinds of submissions would get more attention if we rewrite the title to something more relevant

ie.

"How Bing and Google use localstorage to accelerate mobile browsing"

It's a good article but no-one knows what "storager" means.
In our local HN echo-chamber terminology maybe not, but it definitely does count as one in the world that the original government backed site is targeting. In that case, "startup" is synonymous with "new business" and I personally don't disagree at all.

I beg to differ, my most successful project to date has been a website I shipped for the sake of shipping, didn't ask anyone if they wanted it, didn't even think too much before doing it. Anyone I ask now whether they want it, they're quick to claim it's a waste of time that nobody wants to use, and yet those same people just can't get their hands off.

Coincidentally enough I was looking at http://code.google.com/p/python-pipeline/ a few days ago. I fully expected them to be related by a fork, but they dont seem to be. Python-pipeline executes a similar idea, but to infix-chain iterators by way of generators. I guess some abstractions are just too handy and useful and the chances are high that they will be implemented/discovered independently. Pipe is just one of them.
Thats actually pretty smart, since you will hasten their demise at the same time you increase your holdings and if cloning extinct animals is ever successful, you will own them all.

It is properly illegal, but these days what isn't?
So, how long until police/military are using these against people?

Definitely within our lifetimes, but this decade?

By the way, the programming looking like it's REACTING to the ball, not PREDICTING how it will respond be based on it's behavior.

An interesting, arguably absurd, effect of these "show-room" settings is that my Panasonic has a dedicated "In The Store" mode and the manual specifically recommends changing it once you get it installed in your living room.

And to be pedantic: My panasonic is a plasma and it has the "motion smoothing" the author bemoans in LCDs.
Certainly not when you're trying to judge energy payback horizons for a device incorporating silicon, nickel and cobalt, all of which come with significant costs of production. What if the degradation isn't linear, as seems very likely? Obviously it's a significant improvement, but 45 hours' operation tells us virtually nothing about the device's likely practicality.

The real problem here is that, as usual, we're forced to speculate about what should be straightforward facts, because the story in the OP is based on a dumbed-down press release relating to a talk we can't see, describing research we can't freely access (http://web.mit.edu/chemistry/dgn/www/pubs/publications_2011....), and as a result contains almost no actual information. So it's grandiose claims "we could power the third world!" without any means of assessing whether they're even plausible.

None of this is to say the new cell isn't really interesting, of course. But it's just so typical of science churnalism.
Minor nitpick: "2K" is actually very close to 1080p: 2048x1080 vs 1920x1080.
And now? :)
Beware confirmation bias. History may be written by the winner, but we could probably learn as much if not more by listening to the loser.

Because you were lucky in this instance does not make that good advice for others to follow. (I'm not saying it's bad advice either, just...)

In 2009 Google I/O was sold out only after ninety days and Apple’s WWDC was sold out only after more than thirty days. In 2010 both conferences sold out only after a few days.

That both conferences now sell out in substantially less than a day is newsworthy and a grand feat.
That's awesome.

Got a web idea ,cant code weblangs: How to pick 'em up
Hey Folks,

I had been programming for quite some time, but I have coded most of the parts on C,C++ and Assembly(yes, assembly for ARM for coding crypto algos) So as you can understand, I dont have much experience in web based technologies.

So lets say, I want to be self reliant and start coding on my own. How do I start? :)

Internet penetration is 10x better than it was 2
years ago with wire-less broadband devices and with
so many cell-phones around, almost everyone I know
"at least" has a GPRS.

I agree it's better than two years ago. However, I'm not sure it's good enough to warrant moving out of a big city to start a company.

Electricity is getting better but till then
power back-up ftw!

From what I've heard from my friends many villages have between two to four hours of power a day. So, UPS backup isn't going to fly. If you use a generator, you have to put up with the noise, not to mention the additional cost.

I find it strange bootstrapping startups
complaining about environment, looks like
someone wants to be mouth-fed.

The OP suggested that entrepreneurs were moving to the countryside. I just asked whether that's feasible. I think this snide remark was uncalled for.

I also submit that not having to worry about electricity and broadband is worth more than you think.

I expected anyone to tacitly understand that you of course are building something in the first place that you believe has a market, and have _some_ evidence for that.

But given that, I stand by the above. You are better off having a product you can iterate on based on real world feedback, rather than a theoretical construct that hasn't been tested.

Don’t Be a Bad Apple in Your Industry
Well, the way I see it - these tools open up whole new array of possibilities of writing code in a more intuitive fashion.

This may enable a completely different and cleaner architecture or a mess. Probably as always it starts with a mess and results in clean along the way once you resolve all the problems you should know about but didn't.

Key point is that this is exactly the way our languages and industry evolves. jQuery also started as someones just-for-fun project and poised risk (and still does) to all the projects that used it.

In reality a person needs to go and just use stuff like this, with experience you learn to see if something works or not.
chrome.exe --ignore-gpu-blacklist

From a novices perspective, could someone please explain: what is it? what does it do? why is it better than the alternatives? Thanks!
It's relying on Modernizr's detection of WebGL, which is the best available. But yes WebGL is not ubiquitous as yet so some folks aren't going to see it.
I also got the PHP error when I clicked Shared recipes.

Some other random feedbacks;

- Add a "home/ take a tour" button in the navigation menu, even if when I click your logo I got send back to the landing page. It add a free "feature" to your website

- Don't repeat the Help / Login at the bottom. It's confusing for me. Everybody is used to logged from the top right corner or somewhere in the middle of the page. Not the bottom left corner ;)

- Keep the basic color of the sharing icon. your color scheme doesn't do them justice :) Also, For instance, your Twitter is all blurry after your modified it

- For your Sign-up process. If you want to add more "sharing/social" feature, it is maybe best to be able to sign-up through Facebook/twitter connect too.

- remove the credit cards logo under the Buy now button. They are not very nice looking and just use the basic Paypal button. Everybody know that you can pay through a bazillion ways through Paypal :) And by seeing the Paypal name they are reassured you are not a "scammy little website"

- Your recipes, batches and ingredients pages look a bit empty. Just add the footer like you did on the about page to promote.

Otherwise I like the design and process of your website, About the idea I don't know, I'm just not into brewing myself :)

cheers!

Selections from 'Jeffbook'
Is there any helper function that convert existing functions into pipe's style?

For instance:

[1,2,3,4,5] | p(sum)

where p would transform a def(seq, args, kwargs) to def(args,kwargs) and yield the results?

Also, maybe:

[1,2,3,4,5] >> sum

where that could be made automatically ?
Not if they are very different. I agree it's not a long term solution, but in house coders in a startup just don't sleep and work until done AND they know what has to be done. When something is off, they rapidly change/fix it. There are people making prototypes (working, not just screens) of iOS apps in a few days, good enough to visit potential clients / investors. There is no outsourcing process capable of doing that; explaining will take you more time. And outsourcers have no other incentive than payment, so they just go home at 5.

Where you would be right is if you want the same app coded on iOS / BB / Android / mobile Win / etc. Then you explain ones and you can put n expert teams on those.
That seems weird. That would imply that the lifetime energy capture of a solar panel is roughly equivalent to the creation and installation energy cost.
Most countries are far worse than the US in terms of immigration policy for skilled workers. However, the US should make it stupid simple for talented techies to get work visas.

While I get it I don't really see the big fuss. Facebook knows as much as you choose to tell it. I choose to tell it nothing. Yes you can infer soft networks from the email address books they've harvested etcetc but really there's nothing in those that can't pieced together if someone wants to anyway. As far as I'm concerned Facebook's a busted flush unless you want to advertise to a slightly below average income demographic with too much time to play mundane online games and from a professional perspective a FB message or email address is about as serious as a hotmail.com one. The inevitable social network market fragmentation is already underway, I'm excited to see what it brings.

Guidelines to Keep Your Facebook Account Safe
Since you already know C/C++ I'm willing to wager you are able to pick up Python or Ruby in a few days if not less. Both have frameworks quite well suited to web programming (Django or one of the other WSGI frameworks for Python) and obviously Rails for Ruby. Personally I prefer Python's syntax and community, but other then that the differences with Ruby are fairly trivial.

I would recommend against going with PHP (especially) since you say you already have coding experience. As such the usual "PHP is easier to learn" argument hardly holds and I think the more consistent style of libraries is more pleasant for experienced programmers.
Amazon Beats Google to Cloud Music Service
You have made a really insightful comment, but I struggle to read it without wincing because of the misspellings.

So yeah, Amazon might lose a large contract and might lose trust with developers. Sorry if it's a bit off-topic but I just wanted to mention how off-putting it is.
How exactly would deoptimizing Ryanair hurt them financially? Do Ryanair customers search Google for anything but "Ryanair" when they want to get to ryanair.com?
Could be interesting. Looking forward to seeing it when it's live.
The CommonJS module specification uses the require() function to include modules. Because this function can take paths, it becomes difficult to share code between the server and the client without some workarounds.

What this module does (after a cursory glance) is:

1) intercept the request for browserify.js,

2) package all the necessary modules into a single file along with a require function that will link the modules to their identifiers, and

3) send the file to the client in a way that allows the calling document (in the case of the example, index.html) to use require() and module identifiers client side just as you would on the server side.

In short, this is a project which aims to lower the barrier between sharing code client and server side with node, as this ability to share code is one of node's greatest upsides in spite of the difficulties of doing so. I believe there are several other projects that perform similar tasks, but I have no direct experience with any of them.
