Agreed! I would love to see more great, elegant Windows software. But for whatever reason, I can't find a lot of it. Really, the old saying that you use Windows instead of OSX because there is more software available for it is getting less true every year. At least in the consumer space.

France Tracks Down 18 Million File-Sharers
People expect more of programmers (well, startups, really) because they can be extremely amazing at problem-solving -- when they bother to research a problem rather than assuming that they already know how to solve it, anyway.

The drive, intelligence, and creative ingenuity of startup founders, applied to Big World Problems, would be amazing.

If plumbers went around talking about "disrupting" water systems all the time, I'm pretty sure people would start asking them why they didn't do that in the countries that needed it most.
Just a little irony: gmail was created (at Google) by Paul Buchheit, who is now... a YC partner http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Buchheit

Google itself was focussed on doing something worthwhile - a significant factor in their success was they had a simple, clear homepage, that was just for search - instead of a portal, covered in distracting stuff. They didn't engage in pay-for-placements, so their search results were objective. They were fast (turns out people really value speed). And pagerank was somewhat better (I did comparisons at the time, and search quality was pretty similar - but google felt much better to use because of the other factors). The competing search engines were focussed on monetizing users, instead of doing something useful for them.

I think she's claiming that few startups are acting like google did. Yet, google would likely have succeeded as a YC startup, because YC emphasises "building something people want", as opposed to being driven by a business model.

YC is attempting to productize startups - to find the rules that maximize startup success. The experimental approach of "lean startups"; trying something fast, then iterating; pivoting all seem to be sensible, and seem to be working. But whenever you have rules, there's possibilities in a complex world that escape them - and that may be where the greatest breakthroughs are.

It's true that young people are less familiar with real-world problems (in general, not just in the third world) - yet, many game-changing startups seems to have been founded by young people: apple, microsoft, google etc.

Personally, I very much like the idea of changing the world, doing something valuable and not just to make money. Many entrepreneurs have advised that startups are so difficult that money isn't enough of a motivator to get you through. So, in that sense, I agree with her.
Simulated Depth of Field on flat surfaces like this can easily be made in post production using After Effects for example. Here is an old tutorial I found http://www.videocopilot.net/tutorials/2d_depth_of_field/

You could probably add even more flair by using a 3d camera in AE with DOF enabled, I've done this before and it can look really slick if used well.
$200k is low? I just got a new job paying near $100k and thought I was hitting the high end of the scale...(C# dev, 6 years full-time exp after university in NYC). I'm fairly satisfied with the pay but I'm happy to know there's still room for growth :)
Waiting for Lion: On your mark, get set, geek out
While I agree with some of your sentiments about the author, it feels like you're doing a bit of the same by claiming that everybody who wants to change the world are doing so only because they're projecting.

I say so with some defensiveness because one of my greatest goals in life is to do just that, to make a difference, as cliche as it is. And yes, I've quit my old job so I could pursue it. We all look around this world and see things that aren't quite right, that we'd like to see changed, and I'm no different. I'd like to be able to do something about it though, big things, not just sit idly by.

All too often in life I've been happy just coasting along, taking the easy road in front of me, pursuing good grades in earnest, working hard, and making a good living at interesting jobs. That brings me no closer to my goals in life though, that's not my dream. Some of us have dreams that can be achieved while working 9-5, that's great, but if you have a dream that's important to you, that requires you to quit, do give it some thought. You only have one life.

> I have two iSCSI Targets. I want to pull a LUN from each, and mirror on the KVM Host system, exposing the mirrored disks for my guests. Compared to using ZFS on OpenSolaris with Xen 3.1, this process is incredibly cumbersome and unreliable.

I don't see the relation with KVM. There is nothing special in the way it uses open-iscsi or mdadm to access iSCSI targets and set up mirrors.
Maybe you're unfamiliar with these Linux-specific tools and mistakenly attribute to KVM your difficulties which are really Linux problems.

> Plus I just don't get the need for libvirt.

I don't use libvirt; I wrote a couple of scripts that allow me to do what I need with KVM. libvirt is useful only if you need to manage a whole lot of VMs.
I pay about £20/month for BE Unlimited and routinely burn through 500gb-1TB a month (like TFA I use multiple lossless codecs for media I've bought or produced, as well as using a series of permanently nailed up VPN connections for various things) without any problems. YMMV, but it's fine over here.
I think that point is kinda conceded in the post. The problems arise when you get to some part of the framework that cannot be swapped out. In my experience, almost every project I've worked on has got to this point. The ones that didn't were small things that were basically 'done' in under 6 months. Software being 'done' tends to be a sign of a failing business, as you've run out of places to grow into, or things to optimise. That said, I've learned a lot from working with frameworks, and I would support your statement that frameworks are great for beginners.

Disclamer: I wrote the article, but didn't post it to hacker news
New rules for the new Internet bubble
LAMP is not the "cloud". It's a stack of an operative system (Linux), web server (Apache), database engine (MySQL) and scripting language (PHP). It's used for hosting web applications.

The vague "cloud" term, ultimately boils down to an internet connected server running Linux or Windows, with various layers of connectivity, applications, API's and storage access on top.

Meaning, if your company uses Microsoft software (which the majority does), a transition to the "cloud" will just mean that parts or all of your Microsoft systems, now are hosted by Microsoft themselves or a third-party, compared to being placed locally.

What's wrong with strongly-typed views? I appreciate having the compiler do type checking for me so that I don't have to write a bunch of unnecessary unit tests to do the checks, and it makes refactoring straightforward. More importantly, on projects with larger teams, a strongly-typed view model means other developers can quickly understand expectations without having to dig into the view details, and designers can work on the view according to a fixed, documented and explicit contract independent of the progress of the implementation.

If you're working on a small, simple application with 2 or 3 other developers maybe it's not that big a deal, but on medium+ sized line of business application teams with 20+ developers it makes a massive difference when you need to fix somebody else's bug in an area you don't have much background in.

And what problems did you have building full-text search into your application? I used SQL Server + Full Text catalog for the first time ever recently and I was up and running in a few minutes. That being said I'm not familiar with what Lucene offers, so maybe you have something in mind that SQL Server does not support.
> This is absurd. Another reason not to trust police to have your interest as their primary concern

In most countries the police are not there to serve your interests, but to protect law and order. This corresponds to your interests only when the law does so. When the law is against your interest, so are the police.

That happened in the late 90s and early 2000s. It’s long over.
256kbps isn't as terrible as it may seem. My internet used to be cut to 56k when it went over, and 95% of websites wouldn't even finish loading. Now I think it cuts back to 512kbps, so things at least load, just no downloading really.

How do you reconcile the need to move fast initially to release a product or service in order to build the market for it from a business perspective?

Does having to 'build your own framework' (my paraphrasing of your point) typically mean your software delivery is slower?

Is this detrimental to the business objective you're trying to achieve?

Does a 2-fold approach work - using a more substantial framework to begin with (for speed) followed by re-factoring into your own more specialised "framework of libraries" later?

Definitely some food for thought in your point - I presume it's based on actual experience of programming under both regimes?
A lot of these examples are not working for me (I'm running Google Chrome 12.0.742.112), especially the Audio example which I really wanted to use. I'm really excited about the features this presents, I just wish they worked on my browser.

> Founders nowadays think about selling about as much, and in about the same way, as they always have.

Is there evidence for this? I get the impression that HP, IBM, Apple, Microsoft, Adobe, Sony etc didn't think about exiting as much (of course, selection bias). Though Xerox and Google did try to get bought.

I don't think that short-term vs. long-term motivations encourage precisely the same behaviour.
Police adopting iPhone-based facial-recognition device
I'm getting really tired of bull-hunky articles like this. At best it's a tenuous assertion. At worst it's just the mindless ramblings of someone who desperately wants to sound like an expert but isn't.

There's no lesson to be learned here, and anyone who thinks there is needs needs to defrag their own memory. For every article with a headline like this, you'll find just as many that preach the opposite. Both equally valid, and both equally wrong.

It's debatable wether Google copied anything at all. It is possible to approach the same problem from two different angles and reach many of the same conclusions.

Talking about your observations and theories is great and should be encouraged. Dressing them up as anything more than your own insights is cheap and tacky.
Conference Badges
From the site: "Each time a subscriber opens an email sent with Campaign Monitor, we keep track of which email client they're using"

Maybe hotmail and yahoo users are more likely to open borderline spam whereas gmail users like to use email as more of a tool to get things done? Be sure to always read between the line before making strong inferences from pretty pie charts.
If Ries and Trout ever publish a new edition of Positioning they should make this a case study. Moving email addresses is very painful for a lot of people, so no matter how much buzz Gmail gets in the tech community, there's still the built-in inertia to switching clients.
Made me suspicious about her claim of other countries start-ups hub. I checked the Chile ones, and well, they are just poor.

I picked two start-ups randomly: Askbot (http://askbot.org) which is an awfully designed clone to StackOverFlow.

The other start-up I picked is AI Merchant (http://www.aimerchant.com/) which does commodities exchange in a lower abstraction level. The realization, however, is very poor. I prefer the Silicon Valley clones and crap.
"He said that multiple exits should not constitute "a successful track record" which is ridiculous..."

First of all, I did not say that. I think you're pretty consistently misreading me here.

When I used the phrase "successful track record," I was pretty clearly talking about a record of success in the marketplace, i.e., a thriving company whose product(s) is not just being used, but earning sustainably growing revenue and traction beyond initial interest or buzz, and over a long-term period.

My entire point was that a record of multiple exits is to be commended, and is certainly what attracts investor confidence (for good reason!) -- but it can be conflated with in-market/company success, which can be dangerous.

The two things are correlated, and they're similar, but they're not identical.
Currently we have Postgres installed but not set up. You can install native gems and then test via SQLite. In the next 2 weeks we will roll out postgres and mysql support where you have a test user and a database set up and can test against the databases.

Do you mean a live preview while the tests are running, or analysing which tests ran and then presenting that via the UI?

Live preview is currently not one of our goals, as we don't think it is a feature that lot's of people would really need.

Analysing which of your tests ran, the progress of how many tests were there and presenting analysis of this data is a long term goal. We will provide a Dashboard you can use to get simple overview on your project and shich you can show on a monitor in your office all day. We plan on doing in-depth analysis of all available data to help you in building your software better and more efficiently
I think it's more of a "you should have kids/be spending all your time with your kids in your thirties!" thing more than a "you shouldn't be playing games in your thirties" thing. So if, ten years from now, the average age for childbirth has not increased, we may still be seeing this kind of prejudice.
Are you middle eastern by any chance? :D
I wouldn't even go that far. 'Evaluate your job' is more like it. Take stock of what you have, what you want, and what you can get.

And IF it makes sense to change, seriously consider it.

That all seems like common sense, but it's harder than it sounds.
How to install Xen 4.1 on CentOS 5 default kernel?
What is Xen ?

Xen is a bare metal Hypervisor which is able to run different and multiple operating systems on a single physical machine. The concept of running an operating system over another operating system is known as Virtualization.

Xen is an enterprise level production ready Virtualization Hypervisor which is able to run OS’s like Windows, RHEL, CentOS, BSD and OpenSUSE.

Xen is called HyperVisor because Xen itself is a special kernel which starts the base OS. The base OS in Xen Virtualization is usually called as Dom-0 and the Virtual Machines which run on Xen Hypervisor are known as Dom-U.
If the store near me that just opened is any indication (I still haven't gone in though), they also promote other Microsoft products like the Xbox 360 and smartphones running Windows Phone 7. I think Microsoft is trying to attempt to provide a better buying experience (compared to retailers like Best Buy) and in-person customer support a la Apple's Genius Bar. Just the store looks a lot more appealing to visit than my local Best Buy.

Funny enough, there are Apple, Sony, and Microsoft stores separated by a couple other stores from each other in the same mall near me (Westfield Century City). They're all overflowing with employees, but the only one that ever seems to have a crowd of potential customers around is Apple. Even despite the kinda cramped, dark, enclosed space it's in compared to the Sony and Microsoft stores.
I'm sure you have used a less confusing term than 'agency' here.
Yes, you have. That's why I said it's a bit irrational for me. I can't shake off the feeling that the whole Internet will go down one day, even though it's more likely that a car will hit me twice before.

Maybe it's because I'm looking for solutions that will last for long years, not the apps that I have to change every three or so months. I guess this is not possible nowdays.
