Well done, there's a lot other hackers can learn from this:

1. Release it - too many programmers have a half-baked idea, or end up with a half-baked implementation. They start out all fired up, but don't have the stamina to see the product released to market.

2. Building stuff is great for job hunting. I can almost guarantee that this guy will get an internship out of this. He clearly has two features in great demand: programming ability, and gets stuff done. This product is far more attractive than a resume full of IT buzzwords. As long as he's not a prick in the interview, he'll get hired.

3. Focus your product on a niche. This minimises the work needed to get to market, and makes it easy to position your product as number one in the eyes of your potential customer. I haven't installed this app, but I bet it is better - and seen to be better - than any other app for browsing Hacker News (Safari included).

4. Charge a price for your product. This is where the rubber meets the road, where you discover that software development is much more than programming. Ignore the people wanting it for free and cater to those willing to pay. Play around and see how price changes affect revenue. Even if you later decide to make it free, a product that goes from $5 to zero 'feels' like a better product than something that started out free - classic 'anchoring' psychology.

Why Entrepreneurs Should Positively Impact Their Community
There is no why. Nerds think there should be an actionable reason, and that's part of the problem. It's just how she feels, and even she probably doesn't understand it. We accumulate years of damage from bad advice because better advice (rejections are too random to take personally, so forget your big doomed crushes, improve your odds where you can, and try everybody) is somewhat dehumanizing.
In addition to running on iPad, it also runs on Safari (5.0.5, snow leopard) now.
Im using it for an internal project. There is an associated `vienna` gem, that is for building rich web apps (think sproutcore, cappuccino). It is not open source yet, but will be once the project its been written for is finished.
Docs are definitely being worked on, kinda the top priority now that the language and runtime are pretty stable.
This running on the iPad is the win of the hacking, curiosity and intelligence over the closeness. As without any good reason (IMHO) such a project would never be approved as an app by Apple.
This works for local networks only. You're the first business that I came across that needs to achieve installations across the internet. It could be done but it's not the scope of uDeployer.

What do you suggest to add as explanations? I figured the homepage is pretty exaustive in telling what the program does.
what are the domain names that American government cant steal - .com . net. org domains are regulated by the U.S. it seems,

what about .me domains, .to , .in domains - i have heard that .me domain is also regulated from the US although it is a Montenegro domain

It still doesn't work on my Chrome v13.0.767.1 dev on OSX. Nevertheless, I'm glad to see the project is moving fast forward.
A complete list:

added support for more browsers including Opera 11.11 and __Internet Explorer 9__
reduced VM RAM size from 32 MB to 16 MB.
Source code release of the Linux starter utility.
added a clipboard to exchange data between the VM and the host
added FAQ and News pages
fixed monospace font for some browsers.
fixed binary XHR for Firefox nightly builds
fixed terminal height for the less command
fixed ampersand output in the terminal.
QUESTION: What is your favorite programming language and why?
He released the linux starter (BIOS) though. There is still hope. BTW. the starter contains assembler code. It is amazing to see this running in the browser.
Thanks for the great feedback, seems the consensus is 'as soon as possible'. I'll start inviting some people to use it this week then, thank you.

Here's an instagram founder agreeing with you:

Kudos for bundling a simple BCrypt-based authentication.
I believe that's exactly his point.
I felt the same seeing this running on the iPad. Fantastic.
Neither does it on Chrome 13.0.767.1 (Official Build 85531) dev Linux (much like the previous version; it gets stuck on "Freeing unused kernel memory").
I do not believe that claim. As an example: register allocation is a form of optimization. Do you have a compiler that honors all 'register' declarations, puts nothing else in registers, and bails out if it runs out of registers?

Also, are you sure your compiler always executes all espressions in the order they appear in your source code? Are you laying out _all_ your memory structures by hand, or are you counting on your compiler to do the beet it can do for most of them?

If you have, say, #define WIDTH 1024 #define HEIGHT 768, does your compiler compile a multiplication instruction for "long x = WIDTH * HEIGHT;"?

I think the only way to program C without using any form of optimization is by having one big asm block and nothing else.

What compiler and compiler flags are you using on what architecture?

Hax0rz Advice: “Don’t Listen To Me. Go Build Something.” (TCTV)
When I use my hacking skills for something like this, I sometimes fear that I am wasting time and a normal person would have solved this problem faster and easier because he isn't focused on programming all the time.

Nice to see that the fun way is the right way in this case.
It works on Android stock browser (Nexus One with Gingerbread), but it's very slow, especially on boot.
So, if you have a store that sells apps, what does Apple expect you to call it? Software Shop? Algorithm Emporium?

If "app store" can be trademarked, surely there must be an alternative that sounds equally or more generic.
> A disruptive innovation occurs when long-standing assumptions in a marketplace are tested and successfully challenged by upstarts.

A disruption innovation is a new way of doing things, often based on technology (but can be a different business model), that at first is not good enough for mainstream users. So it is no threat to incumbents, and no competitive response is provoked. But it is good enough for some other users and usages, and it can gradually improve in this safe backwater... until one day, it is good enough for mainstream users - but it also has some other benefits (that appealed to those other users), and so, suddenly, they switch. This is a disruption.

The difficulty for incumbents is that (up til then), their customers didn't want it. They might even have tried to force it on their customers, but with no response. Because good management will listen to customers, and try to serve them, it makes it even harder for them to deal with approaching disruptions, even if they see them clearly.

Another problem is that while incumbents may keep on improving their product (so it is still clearly, overwhelmingly superior to the disruption), the key to the effect is that their product has become more than good enough. So it doesn't matter that it's better it's like offering ever more water to a man who was thirsty, but is now full.

Note that there are many parts to this scenario, and a candidate innovation might fall down at many points - it might not be possible to improve it enough for mainstream users; there might be a way for incumbents to co-opt it; a great company can sometimes disrupt themselves (cannibalizing their own sales); yet another disruption might improve enough before this one did, etc.

Two big take-homes for me:

- to be aware of what people want, not just making better widgets.

- making a product that some people want, but that is not yet perfect and not yet ideal for them, is a good thing.
It comes down to which specific registrars will listen to the US government when Uncle Sam tells the registrar to point the TLD dns entries for the domain to ICE's dns server.

I do not know what happens when multiple registrars update the TLDs with conflicting information? Is that allowed? Can ICANN intervene and force a TLD update, bypassing a registrar?
At least the drug dealers receive due process.

I think your stance should be commended. However, while they do say "We want full time parliamentary elected representatives, free to set their own agenda, free to control the country's budget, free to debate all public issues...", what are your thoughts on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liberal_Alternative ?
Actually he isn't violating the GPL. The GPL states that you have to make it available when requested, and as a mechanism of your choosing. It doesn't say you have to put the source code on the web so that others can access it easily.

I'm tired of people screaming GPL violation because the source code isn't posted online for their perusal.

Edit to add:

Also of note, in the tarball that he provides is the patch to the Linux 2.6.20 sources that he uses. Which... is the sources for the clipboard. Did you even look to see if the sources were available?

A "file", in almost all usage, refers to a specific kind of data structure: a stream of serialized data that presents random block-level access but which is most efficient when sequentially accessed, and which has a filesystem-defined structure of metadata attached that can be read more efficiently than reading a single block of the file (and is usually available even when the file isn't—e.g. when you don't have read permissions to the file.)

Google Docs has documents, but doesn't have files. iOS usually doesn't have files. Etc. It's not that the application-level services don't use files somewhere internally, but the fact that they do is an implementation detail, rather than an exposed part of the client protocol. Thus, Google could just as well store all your docs as structured data in a BigTable db (they probably do, actually), and you wouldn't know the difference.
It's really interesting. When you read 'In the Plex' - which is superb and totally awesome -, there are several instances where you get the sense that Googlers are living in a kind of perfect bubble, shielding them from the kind of problems and hassles regular people have to deal with.

Things like super-fast wireless access (= 24/7 in the cloud) everywhere, being surrounded by like-minded rationalists etc. wind up hurting your products, as you cannot easily relate to the worldview of regular people anymore. Witness the launch of Buzz and it's default opt-in and several other privacy disasters - it made perfect rational sense to launch several features and products the way they were launched as it enhanced efficiency and ease of use etc. But no one at Google apparently thought about your abusive ex-boyfriend now being able to see your buzz activity etc - probably because for rational people such a scenario just isn't in the realm of scenarios one considers. But real life is messy that way.

This is perfectly understandable, though. From the book you get the sense that Googlers are in a way already living several years ahead of regular people, which shapes their products - in good and bad ways.
Therefore, "app store" shouldn't be trademarked, because there isn't 'an alternative that sounds equally or more generic'.
I'm saying IMHO 98% of the existing enterprise apps don't have extensive UI tests.

Ask HN: Want a startup idea? Sort my Twitter's stream
I follow 170 people, and there are 88 people who follow me.

Whenever I open up my twitter, I get a stream of [re]tweets which I have no time to read, let alone click on the links see what the heck:
"#nodjs #opensource #awesome #ipad #3d http://t.co/X3sZ3 #instapaper"

is all about.

What I usually do, is looking quickly at the 10-20 newest tweets, see if there is anything interesting or not.

This way, I miss at least 95% of the tweets in my stream, but what else can I do?

I think I am not the only person who have this problem, I think this applies far beyond twitter, and relevant to the way we are going to consume [social] media in the near future while trying to get some things done, build some things and deliver them from time to time.

The signal vs noise ratio is just getting bigger (on the noise side) and there is not yet proven technology to filter that noise and show us only what we want.
This is an important concept. If such a system did gain widespread adoption, the government would certainly take steps against it.

In the 60s the Diggers/Yippie type group http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UAW/MF chose their name very aware that it would not be able to be written in print. They knew that they would not be controlling the message in the coverage of their group in the traditional media and so they attempted to embed a message in their name itself.

Likewise, rather than call this scheme Phantom, it might be wiser to name it after a member of the old http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Committee_of_correspondence for embedded patriotism and appeal to authority type connotation. Perhaps "Jefferson". In this way, if the government were to target the protocol, they would have to take questions from the press as to why they were targeting JeffersonNet, etc.
Have you ever thought of joining a tech startup and making a significant difference? But the prospect of finding the right startup and learning how to join them might have been a mystery until now. Big companies have a well laid out recruitment process. Startups, in some cases, don't even have an office, let along a well structured recruitment process. Most startups tend to hire friends or based on recommendations.

This event is a special event designed to demystify the startup recruitment process. How do you know whether the startup you are speaking to is a good company to work for? How much salary and/or equity should you expect at different stages of a startup? What does share options tied to service means? Are there any danger signs you should watch for? We will try to answer these types of questions.

This event is FREE to take part. You must advise us your techcelerate username to secure your place. If you do not, have a techcelerate username, please create a free account

If you are looking to join a startup, please send your CV to p4d@techcelerate.org for forwarding to pitching companies before the event. The CVs must be received by 23rd May the latest.

This event is inspired by Work at a StartUp took place in San Francisco.

Playboy bypasses Apple's App Store, makes a web app instead
Neither on Konqueror 4.5.5 -- hangs, then crashes the browser after a while. I wonder if 4.6.3 (current) is any better.
Amazon could to this, too, if they are forced to give all their profits to Apple after end of June. They were supposed to launch a web app reader soon anyway. They demo'ed it a few months ago.

But why didn't Playboy use offline cache or something? Is it because the Mobile Safari is limited in that regard? I have a feeling Apple will hold off improving that feature for a long time.

I wonder if a degree will go the way of some of the Industry Certs like CCNA and MCSE. 10-15 years ago the only people who got those were people who were serious about IT and often had been working on those platforms for years.

Then the dot-com boom happened and people just bought study guides to get the certs and you got complaints about people with the certs who didn't know what they were doing.

2 results of that are that the certs got harder and employers started ignoring them since they were not a good predictor of job performance.

Similarly with a degree, 40 years ago a degree meant you were top 10% and got you on the management track (or equivalent).

These days it is a much weaker signal, you're probably above average but maybe only a little bit. The top 20% of degree-less people probably beats out the bottom 20% of those with degrees.

Your contribution sounds like repeating common stereotypes. Now we all know stereotypes often have a grain of truth to them, but nonetheless it's useless to use them as argumentats.

At any rate, protesting unemployment can be understood in various ways. Suppose the protester's postulates were: less taxation on small business, simplier laws to ease running small businesses, wide-ranging education on running own business, a bit of import/export protection -- now that'd make some sense, right?

The thing about unemployment is that you can't just stand up and work on something and then sell it -- aside of labor (what you have), you need capital (both liquid assets and infrastructure) and enought knowledge to pull bargaining with (parts, materials) vendors and customers as well as to navigate the legal framework.
Actually, there are several trademarks for "apple", and it resulted in several lawsuits.
Apple actually benefits from using a generic term. They could have just sold the apps within the itunes app but which may have caused confusion. Do they then have the right to trade mark "calculator" or "calender"? They could have called the calculator isums but that would have caused confusion.

These seizures are probably illegal based on 4th amendment issues. No due process in the seizing.

See this opinion: http://www.copyhype.com/2011/03/ice-seizures-criticism-magic...

Senators were calling for more information on their activity at the end of last year but I don't remember hearing much more on it.

The interesting part is where international laws come into play. The issue really hasn't been resolved, but in the mean time, domains continue to be seized.

And they have been making lots of mistakes like when they took a dynamic dns's server mooo.com and it's 84,000 subdomains for one account's alleged actions. See: http://www.informationweek.com/news/security/vulnerabilities...

What they are doing is twisting an existing law on the books to apply to domains and playing cowboy off tips by the MPAA and RIAA. Domains getting taken away without notice or due process. It makes me sick.
