I would suggest to use already existing blog service providers. Besides self hosted CMSes(wordpress, drupal), you can try creating blogs in other blog service providers like blogger, tumblr, posterous and do a simple DNS forwarding for your sub-domain like http://blog.nicholas-morgan.com

Few things:

1)Roll your own skin/theme for the blog service you use and make it similar in look to your main website.

2)Saves your website bandwith.

3)Saves your Time.

4)SEO/Analytics already implemented on most of them.

That way, you could focus more on creating content.

2 would be there's and the other 2 are from a third party. Maybe they are hedging their bets and don't feel completely safe being dependent on Microsoft or Google. If Apple has proven anything it's that being vertically integrated works and works well.

Even Samsung is not immune from the pricing pressure of cheaper Chinese OEMs using stock Android. If they can find any advantage in owning WebOS why not go for it.
The real power is browser vendors. If you simultaneously piss off Apple, Microsoft, Google, Mozilla, etc enough such that breaking thousands of sites on the Internet is preferable to continuing to ship your certificate, by implication you are not trustworthy.

It's an oligopoly model, but I think "allowing Iran to read customers' email makes you persona non grata" is exactly the result I would want, regardless of how that result is reached structurally.
Please tell me you are making the exact same post about Chrome's version inflation? "Political Reasons"? please elaborate. Mozilla announced months ago that it was not using version numbers for marketing purposes and they announced recently that they are doing away with version numbers completely, so I fail to see what the "political reasons" might be.
I should have been more clear: I am able to access google docs in general, it's just this document that, after signing in, it's giving me "You need permission to access this item". I was able to access this document previously without signing in.

Fireworks vs. Photoshop – Why Is Fireworks Better Than Photoshop For Web Design
Photoshop is the most popular graphic design tool for web designers, and for good reason, it is feature rich and quite powerful. However, with the evolution of technology, new and improved applications for designing web sites have been developed.
Even if a study existed that found them 100% safe, here's the thing about science: the later discovery of a missing fact or understanding about some small unknown behavior can change EVERYTHING. But then you are left with people who simply flout the original study for political reasons or ignorance. Happens in every field.

This is also why modern nuclear power plant design seem so safe. And then something they didn't factor in shows up, or someone takes a sloppy shortcut in building or regulations that wasn't accounted for and suddenly there's no way to undue the damage (and no way to stop the failure).

If they won't let TSA agents wear dosimeters, well then you'd have to be a moronic zombie to become a TSA agent and work around these machines. And that's predictably who is left working there. But hey you can sue for lack of benefits when you are dying of cancer, only to be told on your deathbed that you fall within the range of people who get cancer anyway, couldn't be the machine.

I'd say "stop flying" but of course these machines are now in portable versions in vans and they can just drive down a street and expose everyone to it, opt-in or not (this really exists, it's not tinfoil hat paranoia http://google.com/search?q=backscatter+vans ).

I thought the goal was to motivate users and IT organizations to stay current. This frees up Mozilla developers from fixing bugs in N many different old versions of Firefox.

To me, the reasoning behind the change in version is pretty clear. Especially looking at the disaster that was IE6. As soon as there is any support for old versions some IT department somewhere will immediately decide it's time to freeze their version. Moving forward after making a freeze like this becomes very difficult (that has been my experience). This presents two options 1) It's their own problem and move on or 2) Continue to patch old versions. The issue with patching old versions is bad IT decisions end up costing Mozilla time. Meanwhile chrome just continues chugging along at full speed only supporting current.

The current linux distro versioning and support structure seems to map well to this problem. Ubuntu, for instance, has LTS versions that IT can stick with and are patched for X many years.

Windows users update their anti-virus software and definitions in near real-time. Operating Systems update near real-time... why not browsers. I now use chrome most of the time and I am (surprisingly) happy with their versioning. I was a naysayer when they first started too.

Firefox uses its own CA store, so you need to remove it there too (or wait for the 6.0.1 update).

I've had more Macs recently than hot dinners. I don't like them.

Software......................

Firstly, the menu bar is awful. Even the shortcut to find stuff is nigh on useless (Squashed-bug + slash). You have to know what you are looking for and the terminology is terribly inconsistent between applications. There are no access keys to navigate around either. If the mouse is easier to use then it's a shit menu.

Also Apple's compiler toolchain is a POS and varies so reliably between releases.

XCode is buggy as hell and the multi window UI sucks (although I hear this is being fixed now).

I could go on but I really want to get onto...

Hardware......................

With regards to my hardware usage, I've had 8 Macs now and three extremely bad experiences:

a) Mac mini failed in 2006 after owning it for 2 weeks. Took Apple 2 weeks to sort it out after denying there was anything wrong with a 100% dead box. I had to threaten to throw the fucking thing at the idiots in the apple store before they'd even think about replacing it.

b) 20" polycarb intel iMac. Crashed regularly with 10.4 on it. After 2 months of arguing with Apple, they replaced the logic board and it was fine for about 6 months then the display failed. Claimed it on the insurance then.

c) 2010 MacBook Pro. Absolutely dangerously retarded stupid design. Can't remove the battery. This is just dangerous. My daughter spilled water on the table (just enough to touch the side of the unit). Due to capillary action, the seam around the base of the machine sucked up all the water. On most machines, you yank the battery quickly if that happens to protect the electronics. You can't on a MacBook. Turned it over and all the liquid that had been sucked inside rained onto the logic board and shorted a few things including the battery. Whilst trying to find some damn mini screwdrivers to get the back off, it CAUGHT FIRE and was promptly chucked in the garden before it burned my house down. It burned for 10 minutes before the LiPoly cells calmed down. The inside of the machine was black and burned, the keyboard had melted and the screen had cracked due to the temperature.

As a qualified electronics engineer, I can assure you that's just a shit and dangrous design. Isolating power is a fairly fundamental aspect of electronic design.

This is why I hate Apple. Bad, dangerous products with shiny happy marketing.

Isn't this self-defeating when there are eight major version number changes per year? Won't people start ignoring the need upgrade because there will be another new version in a few weeks?

In all seriousness - Firefox version 25 in two years, think about that and how no-one is going to take major version numbers for real anymore.

If they insist on this, I'd rather have a YEAR.MONTH version number. Firefox Version 2012.4
I didn't care when gamers on sites I read took this at face-value and nodded along, but on HN I'm shocked nobody has yet pointed out that he's talking PR spin.

They've started a big push marketing the game, they obviously want people to stay excited for what it is, rather than thinking about any downsides. His answer doesn't mean they haven't thought about it, it means one of two things: either they are yet to come to a decision, or it won't actually be free-to-play. Either way, answering that in this interview would have been a moronic step to take, so he changed the subject away from it, and onto "we care more about games than money".

I love Valve, they're a wonderful company, but they definitely think about monetisation right from the start of a project - they're not idiots. And making money from a game doesn't have to mean the game isn't good.
I can confirm it, too.

My brother works in a company that produces spying software for government. Days ago, he told me he himself has written several programs to spy on yahoo, hotmail and gmail but he thought they couldn't deploy the gmail program because of https. I guess, he should think again.

I am scared. My only hope was SSL and I can't trust that anymore?
Woah, they take a 15-40% cut? Is it just me who thinks that's pretty significant? I think I'd rather just bite the bullet and do it myself.

> What amplifies this is that WebOS is (basically) dead and app devs have moved elsewhere. What happens in 2 years APIS change? How many of the existing WebOs apps will become nonfunctional?

Actually, webOS app devs are reporting increased sales due to the massive increase in webOS devices out there, due to the firesale. With regard to the long-term future and your point about APIs changing that webOS is using, I have thought about this and three things give me hope for the platform:

1. HP have stated publically that they will continue to develop webOS and the app store.

2. HP are looking for a hardware partner, and rumours are already emerging that Samsung may be that partner (webOS + Samsung hardare = win for me).

3. There are now hundreds of thousands of webOS devices out there now since the firesale. The majority of those new users are not going to install a replacement for webOS, lets be honest most people are not that technical. This new market that HP has created with the firesale will be nice to sell into for app devs and hardware makers alike.

When I'm looking for a replacement for my Pre3 and Touchpad in 1-2 years, I'm going to look at webOS devices first because that is where my cloud profile and app purchases live. If I have to jump ship to another platform because webOS really does die in the next 1-2 years, then that is a small risk that I am happy to take, especially if the initial investment for a 10" is only a hundred bucks.

I've been thinking about this for a while as well. It came down to two laptops: MacBook Air 13" and Lenovo ThinkPad X1. The X1 has a wonderful keyboard. As a developer I like this. However I'm really a unix sort of person and installing Linux on a laptop never went positively for me. On a Mac however you get unix by default and all the hardware is fully supported. So I'm going with the Air... however if you're a Windows user I would highly consider the new X1.
Thanks, I didn't notice that!

Ask HN: What's an underpaid hacker at an SF startup to do?
Hi HN, I'm a regular here but am asking this anonymously for obvious reasons.

I'm an early employee at a small (but quickly growing) startup in San Francisco. I've gained a lot of great experience over my ~1 year there.

I make $90K/year, which seemed fair when I was moving out here from a 'flyover' state. But I have some in-demand skills, and I started to suspect I was underpaid relative to other people doing similar work (although, I am certain I am paid in line to other employees at this startup).

I decided to actually answer one of the recruiters who sometimes call, and arranged two interviews. Those two interviews yielded two offers in the $150K-$200K range.

For what it's worth, my percentage stake in my current company is larger than either stake I'm being offered but, in terms of percentage times valuation, they're fairly comparable. My current employer is pre-revenue, but has raised several million dollars in funding so far.

I love my current job, but would like to be paid closer to market wages. How should I go about trying doing so? Should I mention my other offers? I strongly suspect that making $150K would make me the highest paid employee by a fair bit, and may be a precedent the founders don't want to set.
Just ordered a Lenovo G570 for my daughter to go to uni (core i3 2130, 4Gb, 500Gb, 15in) - good price, good reputation. I'll set it up to dual boot Win 7 & Ubuntu. It's what I'd buy for myself if I was buying now, though serious number crunching would be done on a desktop.

I don't think that's actually true. If you look at a lot of their past projects, the real clever monetization comes after release, and very often they release piles of cool content entirely for free when they could easily have charged for it. They also spend much longer in development than is strictly necessary, and that tends to not make sense if your goal is to earn money efficiently. As a company they clearly understand monetization, but I don't think it drives their development process.
Couldn't they just require that you must win by at least 1% or there's a runoff, and achieve the same result?

In all large software projects I've worked, amount of open bugs always increased over time, only way to decrease them was to aggressively mark reports as ignored or wontfix.
In all this discusion there is an assumption that I disagree with: that the people that has no idea about using computers should dictate the UI.

With every version of Windows, I must work a little more, if at all possible, to go back to the Windows 95 Explorer. With every version of Windows they add some "innovation" or "enhacement" that degrades a little more my user experience.

Buttons and bars that add nothing useful and take screen space. A couple of minutes looking for the options to revert the changes... the options BTW also move. Windows 7 makes it specially difficult to restore the menu.

"Simplified" folder managing prevents me from seeing two sibling folders in the tree at once. That was Vista I think,

The Windows 7 "libraries" are terrible and impossible to disable completely. The "classic" start menu has disappeared from earth's face.

And so on. Windows 8 may be a little more difficult. I don't know if beginners are happier. I don't care.
If you're not using keyboard shortcuts for file operations, you're doing it very wrong. Hide the ribon UI and problem solved.

I'd say it's likely that the founders can't pay you much more. You can explain your situation, maybe ask for more stock options. You say it's a quickly growing startup, so besides cashing in your stock options a few years down the road, there are probably plenty of chances for a rockstar hacker in the future. Plus, you say you love your job. Combined with this economy... I'd sit this one out for a couple more years!
Well worth reading - makes it clear that this is one aspect of a whole attitude based around people enjoying working together and making cool stuff.

Wow, the Dropbox sample photo Costa Rican Frog was reduced 4.6x and actually looks sharper than the original. The detail in the middle of the back appears to have more contrast in the minified version. Other than some sharpness and some minor artifacts in the eye, the before and after images look identical. Except the original is 346KB and the JPEGmini version is 75KB.
The size of Windows 7 SP1 is based on how many updates you already have. It's generally 60-100 MB. Only the absolute full ISO download is a gigabyte, and most people simply won't need that. Not to mention that non-SP1 Win7 kept getting security updates for quite a while.
haha this made me laugh. would like to hear an official statement from the MS Design department
It's impressive, indeed! I guess they use some feedback loop when recompressing, because there doesn't appear to be no quality loss, even on the smallest details. I've tried one file of 1.4MB of an Australian nature landscape. Recompressed went under 400KB. I wonder if there isn't an offline tool available. For free if possible :)

A more web-ish example: a static jpg banner with 900x400 was 46KB and got compressed into 35KB (reduction of 1.3x). Another similiar banner with 43KB resulted in a compressed 29KB (1.5x smaller). This is very good!
I've successfully converted 99% quality image which became 4.4 times smaller in size (identify shows 72% quality) after that I've converted same original image to 72% quality with imagemagick and I've got similar compression. Artifacts are look similar to jpegmini algorithm.

More interesting would be blind comparison experiment with with imagemagick compressed images with similar compression ratio. I'd be surprised if they could get 25-50% better compression with similar quality images.
