While not free, another option that will take up significantly less space is installing VMWare with Windows 7, then then installing IETester. This is also nice because you only have to run one virtual machine "allows you to have the rendering and javascript engines of IE10 preview, IE9, IE8, IE7 IE 6 and IE5.5 on Windows 7, Vista and XP, as well as the installed IE in the same process."

Maybe people don't find your humour funny. Maybe people don't think your humorous comment adds anything to the discussion. Maybe people don't want HN to turn into Slashdot.
I get so embarrassed when I see a "Show HN: My Weekend iOS App" because of how long it took me to build this simple word game, but it really is pretty full-featured app, and it has a multiplayer mode with a back-end tournament server, so it really was a lot of work. Still, I can't claim it only took me a weekend, it took me full-time six months to build! Anyhow, it's all done for now, I'd love your feedback.
I understand the code it publicly viewable. I want to know if it's possible to connect the UA code to the Google account that it belongs to?
Eclipse is not fundamentally less productive than vim; it's just productive along a different axis. Eclipse can sling around Java syntax like no other, but it's no better than notepad at editing text. On the other hand, vim has a very cursory understanding of Java syntax (as in, it knows that "for" is a keyword and "{" starts an indented block; i.e., just what is necessary for syntax highlighting and indenting). As a result, eclipse is really good at moving around your source, which is important when editing large software.

Vim, on the other hand, is more of a tactical editor; it lets you compose a small set of primitives into a incantation that will rearrange arguments in a function call, and then compose that with the repetition primitives to do basic refactoring. The effect is the same, but the way you go about it is very different.
5 Practical Books on Improving Business Communication Skills
Likewise, networks that start selling DVDs for season X only after season X+1 is underway. Seems to be almost the norm. Why not preserve the opportunity to convert customers to the most lucrative channel? At least with DVDs there's significant revenue involved.
Your pricing says $40 per 100 GB, up to 3 TB, but your Grande plan is only $20, which also includes 100GB. You also make the claim that for most businesses, that 100GB is enough bandwidth - which I assume means businesses that go over probably do so on account of multiple videos.

If one video of mine in particular was running over-bandwidth, wouldn't it make more sense for me to buy an additional plan at half the price, rather than pay the bandwidth fee? I know it's potentially inconvenient to do so, but it makes the pricing a little silly. I could also host the same video multiple times, and have a rand() select between them, or select the ones that have been selected the least in order to redistribute bandwidth.

It's kind of like on some McDonald's menus, where an Apple Pie is $0.69, or you can buy 2 for $1.39.

Edit: I'm going to email your sales with the FYI.
I wouldn’t be happy, as a user, if I saw that information like this was made public about me on a site.
This is starting to look like a move to have engineers promoting various aspects of Windows 8. Great stuff, and I hope it keeps up.

These two videos make me feel like I want a copy of Windows around again. In particular, the showing multiple apps on screen, the way that was done just seems right, and pretty much the way I hoped the iPad would work, but sadly no.
The content creator typically sells some or all rights to their content to a distributor. Often it's that money that allows the content to be made in the first place, and if the distributors weren't there you wouldn't have the same range as content as is available today.

The distributor is a very important part of the creation process at the moment.
No, it's just statistics.

Sure, the reasons why people are leaving might be different, and their distribution of lifetimes might be the way they are because of business reasons. But the math to determine that distribution will be the same.

I actually went so far as to ask this question over at the Statistics stackexchange site. Being mathematicians, they debated it briefly, then concluded that it was possible to determine, which, to a mathematician, is the same thing as a solution.

I'm still hoping somebody who's done the calculation will share the magic SQL query.

Whether or not this extends to color depends on the terminal / termcap support at the remote end, but at the very least bolding and reverse-video should be supported.

In most instances, you'll have full color syntax highlighting, though I've found I've got to down-rate my terminal. e.g.: rxvt-unicode isn't known on all systems, but rxvt, ansi, linux, or xterm generally are, and dropping past "rxvt" on that list is very, very rare.
I'd imagine the majority of people are installing it via their distro's binary packages, so they're not going to run the tests anyway.

Of course, the packager for the distro should be running tests, and raising some serious questions when stuff fails.

In fact, it is. Just type make test. There are thousands of unit tests and it takes a long time. I generally run it and expect a 98% passing rate. If it's below that, I might have an issue. One or two failing tests will never get noticed.

There is a very compelling reason to run a static site: it is much less likely to harbor a security vulnerability. Most CMS sites do.

There is a very compelling reason to run a dynamic site: for most software businesses, that site is the primary venue for all your "marketing engineering", including SEO, A/B testing, interactivity, &c.

The companies that have this dilemma generally have already excepted the architecture of "public site that is separate from their actual application site", which is a step in the direction of mitigating the impact of the security risk.

Those companies would mitigate the impact even further by hosting the public site in a different data center from their application.

Generally speaking, between "adequately secure CMS site" and "adequately engineered marketing processes", and speaking as a security person with a vested interest in selling everyone on buttoning down security everywhere as much as possible: most startups are doing more damage to themselves by not maximizing marketing engineering than they are by exposing themselves to attack.

I'd suggest a middle ground: designate some large, important swath of your public site as sacred and make it static. Host it with stripped down vanilla Apache or Nginx. Then, where you benefit from dynamicism, expose another resource (like a small EC2 server) in your URL space to implement it. This sounds complicated but is really very easy and gives you some of the benefit of a static site (attacks won't tear down your front page) and all the benefits of a dynamic site.

A rule of thumb, by the way: if you sell a web app on the public Internet, and you haven't done something to have that web app formally assessed for security flaws, running a static brochure site for its security benefits is a premature optimization.

How to Delete iTunes on Lion (To Reinstall)
I use MediaWiki now, I love it. It's free, and has really helped my organization. I use it for everything - passwords, API keys, links, random code snippets, etc. It's better than a text file to me, because both the structure and formatting ability encourages properly organizing data.

Though, it's most important to just have SOME well-greased system, no matter what the platform. If it's a text file that does it for you, great. If you spend 10 minutes trying to find a password - time to get a system.

Garrett Lisi's An Exceptionally Simple Theory of Everything TiddlyWiki
I've been using CouchDB in a personal project for 6 months or so and it's been my first real exposure to an actual RESTful interface and I have to say that the experience has been pretty pleasant. I started working through the examples using curl in the CouchDB - The Definitive Guide and then moved on to building code to interface with it:

> By the way, at it's core Emacs is an emacs lisp interpreter, not a text editor (despite misconceptions).

While this is very true, it should also be mentioned that Elisp is a lisp designed for writing text editing tools.

(Die-hard lispers will cry blasphemy here; I realize that you could get the same effect in $lisp with a proper set of macros. I maintain that the distinction is not relevant as lisp blurs language and library).
#1 We do our best to mitigate this. Unfortunately, it's also the nature of the business. Availability is constantly changing. What's really mindblowing is that Orbitz will often have flights in their own results that will error out. This isn't specific to Orbitz either, everyone has to deal with this.

#2 This is a big priority for us. We already have many direct deals, and more are on the way.
So, we actually have time-coded captions for some of our library. It's more just a place to upload the caption file and have it served by the player. Although, now that you mention it I'm not personally thrilled with the service we use so more power to you! And it's nice to know that 3 and 4 are on your radar for the future. I tend to trust YC backed companies not to do the evil vendor lock-in type things, but it can be a hard sell to my boss who has gotten burned many times by vendors that promise the world, we put our content in, deliver poorly, and then we're stuck.

Good Luck!
Nice idea, but sadly, it's a series of videos. I'd expect good web designers to be able to express themselves well using text on web pages.

You don't have access to the "real" continuous distribution, though, but only a finite sample of points from it. Most non-parametric ways of modeling that are going to require some choice of smoothing parameter, either something like a histogram bin width, or a kernel-regression bandwidth (in either case, you can use the data to choose one, using cross-validation).
Casual Contracting - our contract work website
Hey guys, we just hacked together this little site for casual contracting. The premise is there's no long-term commitment / equity payment nonsense. This is for small, quick cash jobs that take less than 40 hours (maybe a website proof of concept, for example). We think RentACoder, Elance and the like are too centered on heavyweight, long-term projects with extended commitments. We'd hope this would be something a Hacker News user might use to earn some extra money on the side. There are invite codes on Twitter http://twitter.com/casualcontract.
We use and love Jira. It's a bit pricey, but has amazing features, tons of plugins, and integrates with Confluence, SVN, eMail, etc...
This is actually one of the best blogs on the Internet. Thrilled to see this on HN.
Its not enough to know just html & css. Design is more different thing. If you have a nice idea and could sketch on the paper even ordinary web designer could implement that. Dont waste your time with these crap things. Just try be best painter, photographer or illustrator forget the html and other things, just sharpen your design skills.

I know, but that isn't really the point at all. Whether I need to start one program or two in order to make the connection isn't the issue (but I sure prefer it in one package). My post is about avoiding latency when working online with a retrieve-edit-store workflow as opposed to transmitting every single keystroke and screen update over the wire.

And yes, as you already observed, I stand corrected on the point of syntax highlighting.
Here's a vote for Instiki (http://instiki.org), a super simple wiki clone written in Ruby (that's pretty straightforward to hack on, which is a pretty important consideration when using wikis for 'non-traditional' purposes).

Future customers would be acquired via different channels than current customers, and therefore they'd have a different CLV (depending on the channel mix).
See, this where I think you can have humor without it going down the Slashdot rabbit hole. Also, humor is subjective and what some people find funny, others won't.

It seems to me that slapping down certain types of humor is encouraging another kind of uptight groupthink where we're always serious all the time.

Because we are sophisticated hackers who are oh-so-sincere about everything.

Gotta get a little rambunctious now and again, don't you think? To me the old spirit of programming has a good amount of humor in it.

> I actually never saw a HP Tablet listed on Amazon for $99.99 over the weekend, but it must have existed plenty as it ranks as #1 bestseller.

Same here; currently the 16 GB model has "40 used & new from $284.94" and the 32 GB model has "42 used & new from $336.98". Decent prices for tablets, but not $99. And yet: http://www.amazon.com/gp/bestsellers/electronics/3063224011/

Is everyone submitting price-matching requests? Are people just catching the frenzy and buying regardless of the price? Or is Amazon's bestselling algorithm flawed?
How about #3? Maybe the lack of response to that means you're already working on it:)
The informal hn hacker book project, http://hn-books.com, is ran completely as a static site. It manages reviews on hundreds of different startup books and tools. It has book lists, allows sorting and multiple filtering by various options. It allows you to create and share lists of books with your friends (http://www.hn-books.com/AnswerQuestion.htm) You can comment on reviews (through LiveFyre) and it even has a "Drop Dead" calculator where you can configure a startup business model and it will display a countdown until you run out of money (http://hn-books.com/EZ-Business-Model.htm) Once you create your biz model, it "remembers" it and you can share your models with other people simply by passing them an URL.

Not trying to plug the site, just wanted to show how much you can really do if you put your mind to it. The entire hn-books site fits on a simple directory and requires zero setup. It just sits there, making money. No upgrades, no patches, no dickering around with hosting providers, no worry about load times. No user database or sensitive data to worry about securing. It. Just. Works.

Quite honestly, if I had my way this is how I'd do all my projects. It required a completely new way of thinking through the app, but to me the trade-offs are easily worth it.

EDIT: It wasn't all roses, though. Biggest problem I had (have) is sorting speed in JS with the big book lists. I'm sure there's a way to optimize that, but I never got around to nailing it down.
Agreed. I much prefer Zite's no-nonsense (e.g. no gimmick) approach to news-reading as well as their strategy for personalization via thumbs-ups, thumbs-downs, categories, and even specific journalists/bloggers. There's a lot of room for growth on their own and I'm afraid of how CNN will alter what is already a good product. And I'm saying this as someone who does not enjoy using the CNN app.

Subbu Allamaraju (ex-Yahoo, now eBay) has been the one proponent of REST that I believe speaks the most sense.

He understands that most "RESTful" APIs out there leave HATEOS as an afterthought, but he doesn't believe there is such a thing as a 100% RESTful API - you match the architectural style to the context of the problem you are trying to solve.

Picplum reminded me of picwing which I believe is another YC company.

I had a chuckle when I noticed that they both have the exact same testimonial from Jessica Livingston, modulo the company name.

I'm not quite sure how both can be true:

"Picwing is the easiest way for me to get digital photos printed. I just email pictures to my account and never have to think about it again. With Picwing, I can be sure that my family back East receives photos of my new baby regularly. They couldn't be happier!"

Notational Velocity is great. Just point it to a dropbox folder and set it to use plain text files and you're set with syncing. There's even an equivalent program for Windows - ResophNotes http://www.resoph.com/ResophNotes/Welcome.html.
Suggestion: For just a test why not find a local real estate agent and give it a pitch? Just take a screenshot of the app and paste their ad into it. You can price it as what Google would charge minus their fee. Even if you fail, you'll learn so much (too many geeks are afraid to get involved in sales).

With a paid app just remember you can start off expensive and work you way down -- but it's hard to go the other way...
