Ask HN: How to do marketing promotion for a open source project?
I'm a creator of a open source project, I found my idea is unique and useful. All teams I stayed love this project and use it in their projects. But I find it is very very hard to tell the community there it is, and even more harder to prove it is useful.

My project is guzz(http://code.google.com/p/guzz/), a orm framework designed for large scaled system.

I have tried to post a news in the theserverside.com, little attentions. My problem is I'm not a employee of google, facebook, twitter, or some place like that; so I can't tell the community it is born in a reliable company.

I really want to share my project? Or, someone proves me a wrong idea. No feedback is boring. So, what should I do?
Stop whining ; it's one of few actual smart moves coming out of MS in years. And my MS developer friends are not complaining; it makes their life easier because now they can easily switch, get more jobs and do stuff that's actually 'cool' again (yep, programming for Win is very not cool in most every corner of the world while building hip stuff in HTML5 is); it makes nice money but things you have to do for 30+ years, 8 hours/day should not be about money alone.

Markov chains are always good fun to play with... a few months ago I worked on a class project which generated markov models from Final Fantasy SNES tracks. (https://github.com/IsaacLewis/MidiMarkov). I should blog about it at some point.

I hadn't seen Shannon's algorithm before though, which looks a bit more memory efficient than the approach I used.
Do you want the work to get done? What's the fastest way?

If I want a robust, reliable, thoroughly tested library routine, it's better to pull it from somewhere else, provided I know it's been hammered by others. Why waste time writing something that's available? Why not save my time, effort and skill for writing the things that are specific to the job at hand?
Not when you have suffered a hack.
You could pull a code out from google, it would be safe, but certainly not from anyone.

Pretty much anything. I know people making those rates configuring content management systems. How much easier work can you get than that?

If you charge per project then you can free yourself from the hourly game. In some cases a healthy project fee can look more appealing than an hourly rate even if you know that you could do the project for half the cost of the per project fee if you were to charge hourly. Hourly makes people nervous.

Sometimes hour rates are meaningless. If the developer is horribly slow, dishonest or incompetent then even "cheap" becomes expensive. What good does saving money on a developer do if your business is losing wads of money because the developer is taking far longer than expected to complete your project?

I think it all comes down to giving the client the warm and fuzzies, delivering in a reasonable timeframe and doing so with decent quality. It's also about being able to sell yourself. These aren't always the qualities of a technician. You also have to be a business person.

UN Declares Internet Access A Human Right - Now What?
But all corporate employees are also consumers, and the last ten or so years of consumer-oriented web and native application development has raised everyone's expectations about how software can look and behave. The corporate IT shops are not immune from the demands that these expectations create.

For example, a significant proportion of them are now having to work out how to support Apple's devices for corporate network access, email, document sharing and delivering apps for internal users and consumers, and all because corporate executives are also consumers.
I think people are going on the assertion that every-day apps written with WPF (i.e. Visual Studio 2010) are a step back from their old GDI-based ancestors with respect to performance.

I mean we've had to buy a shit load of graphics cards to get acceptable performance on our (definitely not shoddy) kit.
Assuming that number is very high, those people wouldn't necessarily be rocket surgeons if they weren't trying to clone FB
It's not whining, the article perfectly sums it up:

it means discarding rich, capable frameworks and the powerful, enormously popular Visual Studio development environment, in favor of a far more primitive, rudimentary system with substantially inferior tools

Seriously, try xaml and VS compared with [insert vim, emacs, etc] + html5.

They're light years apart in terms of capabilities.

On the other hand, I'd think it's far too early to worry, apart from MS have now gone all clam, which is worrying. They're fanning the flames themselves

It doesn't really affect me, but I can understand why a lot of developers would be anxious.

They don't want to use a clearly inferior technology and quite frankly a crappy language like JS.
I've heard a few different pitches for this idea...booking meals in other people's homes...the one thing I rarely hear being brought up though is the legality of this. Aren't there pretty strict laws about cooking prepared food for others? I thought restaurants and even those street vendors are supposed to be checked out...

Just wondering if you have checked this potential issue out...or maybe I'm misunderstanding the idea.
Managing Rackspace Cloud Servers
quote :"There are many reasons why engineers want to work for Facebook, from the potential windfall to learning just how they are able to ship so much technology so fast. It is an engineering dreamland."

What kinda innovations and technology is facebook shipping out so fast? To me, facebook is a streamlined and polished way to keep in touch with people and share information, which the internet already offered and was made for. Whats more to it than that?

Google, IBM, Intel, Research and development, etc would be some of the places which I would be interested in working, as I see them as innovators. Facebook, twitter etc are just "apps" for me
You can go too far either way. On the one hand are the CS theorists with their heads in the clouds. On the other are those devs writing naive algorithms and arguing that you should just buy more hardware who wouldn't know big-O if it jumped up and bit them on the nose.

I seem to be plagued by recruiters on LinkedIn - effectively the same thing as spam.
I absolutely do browse at about 500px width on workstation (with 30" 2560x1600 displays).

I typically resize my browser window when reading this site, for example. For reading text, a fairly narrow column is easier to read (and easier to stack next to a bunch of work-related windows too).

I just measured how narrow HN gets and it is 535px (Safari, typical font settings).

Even if we were to stipulate that I am a weirdo and that most people using a PC leave the browser wide, I still don't think you are correct on the numbers. Even just considering smartphones and PCs, we really do already have a huge variety of screen resolutions, already. Consider that 320, 480, 640, 960 are the possible pixel widths of just the last two models of iPhone. Then throw all the other smartphones with different screen technologies and slightly different screen sizes, and you get just about every meaningful increment from 320 up to 960, and now you are in laptop PC territoty.

Throw in the upcoming iPad clones, plus (I hope) a new crop of decent 7" tablets, and I don't think your 99.9% estimate is even close (I'd hazard a guess of something like 75% and decreasing, but who knows).

So, while I don't personally make websites, I do use a lot of them (on screens ranging from 3.5" to 30"), and I really appreciate the responsive HTML movement as a customer.
Awesome, although my definition of "perfect" would include "quiet."
The article is junk: E.g., it confuses 'normal' as in usual and 'normal' as in the Gaussian distribution. And 'fat tails' is not nearly specific enough to describe the exceptional or disastrous events of 'black swans'. The just isn't serious and should be ignored.

I've noticed this with philosophy; I did a CS degree, and was self-directed "interested in philosophy", but found my handful of philosophy-minor classes massively helpful compared to only self-studying. I still mostly read philosophy on my own nowadays, but I often feel that I'm missing some of the more solid grounding that I'd have had if I'd done a full degree in it. Giving myself crash courses on background I'm missing by reading Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy entries isn't quite the same. I think it would've helped in my actual area of research as well (some AI problems are closely related to philosophy problems), but there's only so much time in undergrad, at least if you plan to graduate in a reasonable amount of time, and the CS was probably on the whole more relevant than more philosophy would've been.
Could you somehow use it in reverse? What I mean is, is it possible to get a random text generator for a certain language and then use it to determine, whether a given text is in that language or not?
I can't really answer your questions but I've been using Freedcamp for a month and I'm pretty happy with it. It can be slow sometimes or even down every once in a while but I still think it's a good deal.
I don't have figures to back it up, but Facebook in Belgium also feels like it's declining. Not necessary new users, that may be still even rising.
But mainly active users becoming inactive. Im daring to bet that's declining big in Belgium.
I felt this was bound to happen. Too many "friends", too much spam, and it became too "mainstream", which means the early adopters would want to move on to something else.

If there actually was "something else" right now, a paradigm shifting social network, the decay of Facebook would've been even faster, but unfortunately there isn't much to replace it right now, but I think there will be by the end of the year.

Locomu: A Well Organized Twitter Tools Directory
Twitter is the lifeline of various businesses, contractors, service providers, advertisers, recruiters, job seekers, students, and pleasure in leisure seekers.
You should go with PNG instead of JPG, it's more readable since it avoids artifacts when text is present on the image.
I noticed the same thing last year when I was stranded in Barcelona during the Icelandic volcanic eruption. Then, people were looking for ridesharing, free rooms, news, etc. under the hashtag #ashtag. Not as severe as an earthquake, but a similar mechanism blocking twitter's utility.

Then the problem wasn't spam, but #ashtag retweet avalanches from some well-followed celebrities. The most egregious example I remember: this guy Paulo Coelho in Brazil, retweeted through pages and pages of search results (the source: https://twitter.com/#!/paulocoelho/status/12399786645). I'm pretty sure Justin Bieber said something too, so that was it for #ashtag.

This would probably have been easier to deal with than spam, because people weren't actively trying to game them. Twitter just needed to aggregate some information and make it blockable, e.g. "don't show me (re-)tweets with this text anymore". As a sometimes-user, I still don't see a straightforward way to do something like this in the clients I use. So now the spam angle is not a surprise at all.
The article describes a "parse_git_branch" shell function for use in a shell prompt. A much better function is included with git's completion script and is called "__git_ps1".

It can be found in /etc/bash_completion.d/git if you installed git using apt-get or something similar. It lives at contrib/completion/git-completion.bash in the git source tree:

https://raw.github.com/git/git/master/contrib/completion/git...

In addition to "__git_ps1", you also get amazing tab-completion for git commands when you source it. Here's how I use it in my prompt. There are simpler examples in the script itself.

export GIT_PS1_SHOWDIRTYSTATE=yes
export GIT_PS1_SHOWSTASHSTATE=yes
export GIT_PS1_SHOWUNTRACKEDFILES=yes

git_prompt='$(__git_ps1 " \[\033[0;34m\](\[\033[00m\]\[\033[01;32m\]%s\[\033[00m\]\[\033[0;34m\])\[\033[00m\]")'

PS1="\n\[\033[0;34m\]# \[\033[1;32m\]\u\[\033[0;34m\]@\[\033[1;32m\]\h\[\033[0;34m\]:\[\033[1;32m\]\w\[\033[1;32m\]$git_prompt\n\[\033[1;36m\]%\[\033[0;39m\] "

The base UI is really for picking hunks (the sections you see in a `diff`), although git extended it to allow for splitting chunks into sub-hunks and ghetto-editing hunks.

Other VCS and more details:

* Darcs was probably the first VCS to implement this, it's the default behavior for `darcs record` (which is darcs's `commit` command). Much like git, darcs provides for full hunk edition (splitting hunks into sub-hunks, and removing or changing sections of hunks before recording them).

* Mercurial provides this function through the (built-in) `record` extension. It currently gives no way to split or edit hunks, only to record or ignore them. The crecord third-party extension has these features (and/but a more complex, curses-based, UI)

* `-p` is actually a subset of the much more complex `-i`/`--interactive`, which is a special staging-manipulation sub-shell.

Note however that this is a powerfully dangerous tool, as it lets you commit untested revisions (then again, so does file-selection at commit, which has been available since SVN). Revisions created this way should be tested one by one for breakage, and rewritten if needed.
Not sure about others, but on a 3G network, you're very likely to get a different IP address for each request. This makes tracking a bit more difficult, as you'd have to correlate by lat/long. Given that there doesn't seem to be any sort of uuid in the request and that the requests are likely to be ~10 minutes apart, I'd think the risk of actually being tracked are quite low.

My appologies, the "Native HTML" marketing message was delivered at MIX by Dean Hachamovitch, head of the IE team.
The problem is that Twitter has a little "list of topics that will be most profitable to spam" list on the side. It's not surprising, then, that those topics get a lot of spam.
Yes.

Given the string so far, see how probable it is that the generator would generate the next character, p(x_n | x_<n). Running through the whole string you can build up the log probability of the whole string: log p(x) = \sum_n log p(x_n | x_<n). Comparing the log probabilities under different models gives you a language classifier. For a first stab at the one-class problem, compare the log probability to what the model typically assigns to strings it randomly generates.

English is your second language, right? Your code.google page is full of language faults. For example "like shopping site" should be "like a shopping site", and "physic" servers should be "physical" servers. There are also a number of spelling mistakes. Your choice of words is also a little.. odd.

I'm not trying to be negative, just honest. I can also speak a second language (dutch), and despite the fact that I'm at a high level when compared to my peers, I'd not dare to open a code.google.com site in dutch. So well done for doing it. It is to be commended.

Other than that, it's not clear from the first page exactly what your product does. You should be able to explain the most important features in a couple of sentences.

Why should I use Guzz instead of reliable technology like Hibernate, Entity Framework, Active Record or the like?

From your site it looks like the framework is targeted against massive relational tables, and allows a certain level of scaling by automatically splitting these tables across database instances. Is that right? Why is that better than the competition?

What language/frameworks does it target? Java? Ruby? C++? Cobol?

Who uses it? What kind of traffic volumes do they see? What kind of workloads?
I suspect it's because there're lots of people who would like to do fine arts, so they make all of the 100-levels incredibly intense to filter in just the ones who are really talented and dedicated. Sometimes I wish they'd do the same thing with the CS department.

This used to be somewhat traditional, to have a hardcore 100-level CS class as a weed-out, but my impression is that curricula are moving away from it. Partly, there's a worry that it mainly rewards how much knowledge you have coming into college: if the CS-101 course is really hardcore, the people who pass it are those who learned a lot about computer science on their own in high school. But if the university is supposed to provide an education program that can teach CS to people who don't already know it, that isn't quite what you want.

It also tends to work directly against universities' recruiting goals: they're spending all this effort to try to convince "non-traditional" CS majors (i.e. people who weren't already high-school computer enthusiasts) that it's an interesting and useful field to study, in which case you don't want to immediately kick them out in the first semester for not already being proficient enough.

There's a difference between taking random code from stackoverflow or blogs and using a tried and trusted library. The latter is good: you're getting code that is well understood and probably with less bugs. The former is generally a sign of a bad developer. Someone who doesn't know what they're doing, so just pastes random bits of code from the internet until it works, without ever understanding why.

It's serving the food that's illegal, not making a website saying someone is willing to serve you food that's illegal. It's similar to AirBNB. Probably illegal to rent out your apartment for a few days. Your landlord doesn't want you to do it, your local hotel lobby doesn't want you to do it... and people do it anyway. Making a list of people willing to break the law isn't illegal. Same goes for Ubercab. Highly illegal or whatever, but still a great (and disruptive) business idea.

The Internet is allowing people to break the law in harmless ways more than we've ever been able to. And that's a good thing, because it means protectionism is going away. Businesses will have to compete based on the quality of their product, not based on how many lawmakers are in their pocket. The Internet is finally returning the power to the people.
