Sunny bright season of summers is here!! So what are you waiting for?? Change your mood, change your surroundings, change the way you dress and most important change your DESKTOP!!! Because it’s the first thing you see when you switch your PC on; so it should be such that uplifts your mood and makes your mood for the day!!
I do know that the project is being developed actively, although I believe the team has continued using subversion internally rather than move the project to github. Only the major versions are being pushed to github and the daily commits go to the subversion repo.

As for the fat controllers, I have to take the blame for that myself. A lot of the awful code was written by me over two years ago when I had close to zero programming experience. I am no longer working at Foradian (the team that developed Fedena), and haven't been able to undo the damage I left behind. :)

I do hope that the project will eventually move to github so that the OSS community (and former developers of the project like myself) could help improve the code. Would love to hear what the folks currently working on the project think of the idea.

I like the idea, definitely need a Windows client though. I think you should also release pricing pretty soon, I don't want to go through the effort of uploading photos if its going to be very expensive all of a sudden. I'd also like to point out that 'a few gigs' is not very many photos these days. I'm not photographer but I had 3-4 gigs of photos after my recent 3 week trip to the USA on just a fairly basic digital camera.

Your price point is going to be a tricky one to pick. Dropbox charges around $10 for 50gb, which if I was only using it for photo backups, would be too much, and I'd not do it.
I think it is rather funny that I get down voted for reminding someone of the main point to pg's post that has hundreds of votes.

From what I've encountered, and what I've read, Fremont has been the most patchy Linode DC - they've had two outages there recently. One just a day or two ago, and another in early May. Apparently there was a significant outage late last year too.

p.s. The last two weren't network outages - they were total power failures. Your 'node would have been hard-booted as a result.
Not really, the US hasn't passed a budget in over 800 days.

It's a good thing that in the real world, we have people in charge with some restraint. Which is why most riots in the West end without bloodshed, shots fired or the military being abused to fight it's own citizens.

Order is rarely restored through some short-sighted power-fantasy that disregards the value of human lives. But lots of dictatorships started that way though. And often with the best of intentions.
I guess it is US centric. I was going to try and make a marmalade joke/comparison/analogy but could not come up with anything that was funny:)

I guess if you have never heard of orbitz you most likely are not in the market for american car insurance.

On a side note everyone talks about how global the internet is but I wonder how many "internet based services" outside of media portals are actually global...
Please don't do this again this early in the morning; I had 10 people eyeballing me for strange laughing behaviour.
I'm going to remember that story next time I complain about work.
Wow - looks like you're right! I dug into the presentation (link below, important slide is #33) and Amazon are now claiming that all their web servers run on AWS. It's only their webservers (not their DBs, load-balancers or "services" which I presume means anything stateful). Of course, the co-location option for 'difficult' services is only available to Amazon, and before the switch-over in November they presumably weren't using AWS nearly so heavily, but this is at least a step in the right direction.

I've actually had the opposite impression; I couldn't believe how little Windows actually came with for development.

While I'm not a fan of everything that comes with the Mac, I've never felt that it had any gaping holes like Windows does (e.g. Windows doesn't come with SSH or Perl or Python or even a reasonable shell and terminal, much less other useful utilities). In fact, sometimes the Mac has almost too many options; the Mac ships with something like 5 text editors, and that's before realizing there are excellent 3rd party ones too.

It's clear that Windows can be made tolerable with some effort, but I've sort of lost patience with having to do what a company with Microsoft's money should be able to provide by itself.

My last exposure to Visual Studio was version 2005, and it started with the realization that the program was basically incapable of saving to the previous version of its own file format (which completely threw off my version control on a project where all other team members were stuck with older IDEs). I also remember with disdain opening Visual Studio 2005 and being given about 15 characters of space in which to type a series of "#include" search paths; I kid you not, it was faster to mount a network drive, open Linux and "vim", and edit the project XML file directly, than it was to futz with Microsoft's poorly-thought-out GUI to perform the same tasks.

I'm willing to allow that I've just had some bad experiences, and I hear so much praise for Microsoft's environments that I constantly feel like I must just be missing something. Yet everything I've seen doesn't make me think "snappy", it makes me think "kludgey, buggy, poorly-conceived mess from company with enough money to do much, much better".

Just to be fair, wasn't it TechCrunch that gave Leaky that "Hipmunk for car insurance" tagline?

http://techcrunch.com/2011/08/08/yc-backed-leaky-is-hipmunk-...

I didn't see any mention of Hipmunk at all on Leaky's website. There's a small mention of Square though:

All design inspiration credit goes to Square. We think their design is the bee's knees.

EDIT: Ah, they do have a referential line, though it's not Hipmunk:

We're like Orbitz for insurance.

Perhaps TC thought Hipmunk was more catchy than Orbitz ;)

Hey nithin :)
We are thinking of keeping two branches in github - a stable one (for people to download and use ) , another development branch - to which we will be accepting all the patches , including the changes here from foradian.
Planning to set this thing up in a week or two.

See your patches soon :) , Good day.

This is a 2005 article. GET BENT. Why is it all these articles 6, 7, 8, and even 10 years old are being posted. Eff off. This isn't news, nor is it even remotely relevant to modern society.
I think I've read somewhere of an earlier game with the same pattern?

It's a hard thing to search for on google, sadly.
Can you uphold above quotes with some more facts please? What Linux distribution are you using? What Kernel Version are you using? What kind of files do you have on that server (Video, Word-Files, Sound-Files, DB, ...?).

Ok. So youths are burning a building across the street from your apartment. And it's a dictatorship if you want men with guns to stop them from doing this:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-14446548

Here's a video of British police without guns running from rioters:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v4pcbiO4flY

And take a look at what the rioters are doing on Youtube. Some would submit that the people with the "power fantasy" are the rioters who are burning buildings, beating random passerby bloody, and looting businesses.

We also have different premises on what is the more plausible immediate threat: fascist dictatorship or arson and anarchy. It's doubtful that we'll resolve those differences in this comment box, so let's just agree to disagree.
It makes perfect sense to me. Obviously, if you don't know what Hipmunk is it's hard but on the other hand, knowing Hipmunk, that sentence conveys more information than a generic one ever could.

Glad to hear that the project is moving to Github. Hopefully you'll see a lot of commits from the OSS community.

So the team from Foradian will also be committing to the same github repo or will there be a parallel subversion repo within Foradian?

Right, thanks for reminding me. My mistake. I suppose the president can at least command the United States Armed Forces and veto HR3808, though.
I downvoted, but I shouldn't have. My apologies, this is a thoughtful comment but I read it the wrong way at first (as a conspiracy theory).

I actually agree with you that "War on..." is conducive to terrible thinking (poverty, drugs, terror, whatever). Something like, "Identifying members of organizations willing to take terrorist action, and arresting or killing them, removing their resources, and securing targets and educating people" would be a much better way to look at it.

Obviously there are people who are comfortable destroying things at large scale and hurting people, and it needs to be dealt with. But you can't win a war versus an ideology. Much better if they defined it more clearly, estimated numbers, and saw if success was increasing or decreasing. (Of course, that doesn't make for political soundbites)
Ah, that's good to hear. Funny that you answered this question while I was typing it over here. :D
I see a lot of Linode customers here. Where are all the Rackspace users? Or are we a rareity on hn?
Is there anything else on the market that is similar to this? I'm just curious for comparisons.

I'm definitely hesitant to use this because of lack of pricing, and I also have no idea what's "smart" about this besides it being organized by date. I don't want to upload 1,000 photos and see it in action. Show me examples on the site.

There's no easy way of sharing photos either which is a deal breaker for now.

Leaky (YC S11) takes the pain out of finding the best car insurance.

That would work for those who know about Hipmunk and those who don't.
I can't help feeling that a relatively easy fix to this whole patent mess would be to make patents indefensible if a company doesn't have an actual product available on the market that actually uses the patent. Furthermore, only the company making the product can use the patent. - They could sell it to a competitor, who also has a product that uses the patent, but if a patent troll wanted the patent they would need to create an actual working product before trolling.

It wouldn't solve all of the problems of patents, but it would be an easy fix for getting rid of some of the more egregarious abuses of the patent system (companies filing thousands of pie-in-the-sky patents just so that others can't, patent trolls that exist just to buy patents and pursue actual innovators, companies filing patents and then sitting on them, preventing others from developing a new technology that would disrupt the company's product).

It would be a modest change to the system which would correct at least some of the current evident problems.

How funny, when I first read about Kicksend.com, I thought they were Letscrate.com and wondered if this was just a big redesign.

As a frequent user of these services, I admit the variety is a bit dizzying at times. But I welcome all the competition (and wonder what market consolidation will look like down the line...)

Angellist and all related Angel/VC pitching is a totally different
situation, with a totally different audience and runs with totally
different expectations; you are trying to attract investors, not
customers.

A "High Concept Pitch" one-liner is an excellent device to employ, but
like everything, it can be done well or it can be done poorly. Both of
the examples I cited from the front page are one-liners, but one is done
poorly (e.g. very narrow scope), and the other is done well (e.g. very
broad scope).

Maybe Leaky (YC S11) is looking more for investors than they are for
customers? If so, then they are using the right language to target the
desired narrow scope of knowledgeable investors. But with better aim,
could they kill more than one bird with that stone? A new startup
announcement on techcrunch is an important opportunity.

The provocative question is, "Would you rather invest in a company
actively acquiring investors or a company actively acquiring customers?"

Agree, the quoted sentence made absolutely no sense to me either. I wonder if it's a misunderstanding on the part of the article author(s), or if it's communicated that way by Mozilla, too.

I had a look at https://wiki.mozilla.org/JoystickAPI and it simply says "unsigned long axis: axis number being moved", without examplifying for a known device. Didn't continue digging to the actual implementation.
its really not, I don't know what that guy is talking about. Its actually quite easy to create fake profiles, and fake networks, and add friends that would match that information.
If you aren't new to programming at all, then I'd suggest Python Essential Reference.

Otherwise, I'm still recommending against learning Python the hard way. That might depend on a person, but I don't think typing some samples can make an interesting task, and AFAIKT doing things that are not interesting for you makes learning process a lot less efficient.

Judging from my experience, the best way to start learning the language is having some actual work done (e.g., building a site with Django). Correspondingly, books you'd need are references—Python's docs, Python Essential Reference. You can use LPTHW as a reference, too, just do something more useful than its samples.
and tests, I don't think I saw any there...
agree, why go through all this trouble when I can go on priceline get a hotel room for a similar price.

I agree. Have a look at hallo (a really basic inline editor). The coffeescript (https://github.com/bergie/hallo/blob/master/examples/hallo.j...) is 236 lines, including about 60 lines of comments. The javascript is 208 lines, with no comments, and extremely clean (https://github.com/bergie/hallo/blob/master/examples/hallo.j...).

I think the big advantage of coffeescript is it gets rid of the whole "implicit global variable" thing. It's not a completely new language (like pyjamas - a python-js converter) just bit of syntactic sugar, which happens to make mistakes a little harder.
yes I think no one denies apple innovated on the touchscreen mobile device, but since then Android has far surpassed IOS. Why not show notifications pre ios5 compared to android, and post ios5, or how about wireless syncing, or how about tabbed browsing or what about customizing the lock screen with apps and notifications.

Think about assets. What is the worth of your car, your house, your furniture, etc.? E.g. the car cost 20k initially, after two years of use, you discount 20%, so you put 16k into your books. Is that objective? Essentially, you have to predict the money-out and there is happing a lot between money-in and money-out.

That would be a challenge, wouldn't it? Without tests, a lot of people would hesitate to contribute, and with a small group of developers it would take some time to add tests to a somewhat large project like this.

What I don't understand is: why doesn't evolution weed out the Vegas types? Where does the steady new influx of money come from? Or was it just the housing bubble that provided the money (in the end even tapping into retirement funds of iceland)?

Maybe now we have reached a point where most Vegas types will be eliminated. Perhaps not a bad thing? Except they are probably just poor individuals who were too lazy to think about finances for themselves. The first thing I learned about investing is "don't invest in anything you don't understand", which pretty much excludes complicated investments constructs, and is not that hard to digest.

But what would be the solution? Forbidding "gambling" to individuals would possibly result in communism, as it would imply the state would have to dictate the investments.
I'm not sure I understand your reply. I think that officemonkey meant that in a serial list of "things to read", Reading List could cache the preceding and succeeding pages relative to the particular item you're on so that as you complete one page you can immediately jump to the next/previous page.

I agree, however, that Reading List does not address the "random access" approach to research, which is more along the lines of using tabs simultaneously, as intended.
TechCrunch is a terrible place for consumer startups to try to find customers. It's a great place to gain credibility with the tech/entrepreneur/investor community and it also typically results in other publications writing about you. YC companies launching publicly 2 weeks before Demo Day (probably) need both of those things more than they need a few hundred more users. Just about anybody reading TechCrunch who is of great importance to the next two weeks of this company's lifecycle knows what Hipmunk is. Those same people also know that an article in TechCrunch doesn't get most companies very many users.

I run a handful of virutal machines on Rackspace's private cloud. And while their customer service tends to be dire the VPS's themselves are pretty solid. Desperately needs more features though - with a private back-end network between the servers (rather than shared!?) it'll be appropriate for many more applications.
