That is interesting, and perhaps part of what I am looking for.

But I'm not sure that things like feature proposals, high-level requirements and architecture overviews fits into a literate programming model.
Thanks for the input. I never thought of it as being a service that offers 'hard to find airports', but rather airports you've never heard of... which for most people, is practically all of them.

But you're right, even when I was building it, I found it hard to explain it succinctly, which made me think it's trying to solve a problem that might not exist... yet it's a problem I run into all the time.
Patriot NG Monitors Possible Windows Security Failures
Unlikely to happen soon I reckon. That's way heaps of work for them to do on the security side. They'll need to do lots of work with 3d drivers.

You can do some pretty nice things with 3d transforms. I've done some nice things anyways :)

We'll see what happens once webgl gets into mobile safari. Perhaps lots of people will use it, and then MS might be convinced that all that work is worth it.
I use a proximity (WiFi) app on Android - it's pretty decent - phone doesn't lock and password manager active when connected to my specific WiFi node & MAC address.
>That seems like a pretty fair sales pitch to me.

Except we've already tried that. With pretty much every tablet that was ever made before the iPad. How many times are people going to go "but wait, mine is... a whole computer!" before they realize consumers don't want this? The reason the iPad won was because it wasn't a computer. It was a device, an appliance.

This angle of attack definitely makes sense when you consider HTC's $300 million investment in Beats By Dre - a brand that primarily targets the youth market.

Good luck convincing a generation raised on iPods that the iPhone is old and stodgy, though. It also doesn't help when promotions like http://www.supercuts.com/promotion/SuperAccess/default.asp effectively lower Android's perceived value.
The point is that (1) most people are in fact going to slack off for at least that much time, and (2) doing so in a controlled way is actually beneficial to your performance when not slacking off.

The only evidence I know for these is anecdotal, but I'll take a substantial body of anecdotal evidence over "sounds a bit too much to me" any day.
I understand that you don't seem to like Java, but it is really immaterial to my point. They stated all the goals of Java in their feature list and then didn't mention Java. If they thought Java sucked or didn't meet their requirements even though it has the same stated goals then they might have said so. But they didn't say anything at all - it's kind of an odd omission to make by accident.
I think the checkbox approach would be good.

Nice tool though. Easy to try out quick changes fast.
As a tablet it's a maybe platform.

It's not as if Microsoft haven't tried to do this before and failed and they're taking a pretty different approach to what's working in the market at the moment.

It's possible that Win 8 can be a success on the desktop / laptop but fail as a tablet OS.

> In our field studies of sit-stand workstations we have found little evidence of widespread benefits and users only stand for very short-periods (15 minutes or less total per day). Other studies have found that the use of sit-stand stations rapidly declines so that after 1 month a majority of people are sitting all the time.

So sit-stand desks are a bad solution because people don't actually use them? What's wrong with this logic?

Of course when they are a novelty, people will try them out and then fall back into old habits.

Here in Denmark practically every office worker in every workplace has a sit-stand desk, and so I have many years of experience observing this. About ten percent (my rough estimate) actually use them, but those that do use them a lot, and stand between 25-50% of the time.

I would not work anywhere without one, simple as that. I even got one for my home office (they are available from many dealers here).
I stopped using it since it wasn't open source. Worse when it became infested with "optional" ~~adware~~ search bar.

I think there's something in that - how come you're running into the problem so frequently? Is the main use case that you're looking for something like people that look for flights to X and don't realise that they could save money by going to Y which is a short drive away? (E.g. a flight to Gatwick, when they could save 50% by going to Heathrow).

The problem with this experiment is that you assume many people would click on the link even it it was malicious.

Hacker News is essentially peer reviewed, and I would imagine bad links would have been flagged quickly, preventing many users from going there.

Even if your experiment leads to a large number of visitors to your site, I wouldn't assume this to be the case if your site actually had malicious content.

I found one problem: when I'm searching in my location (Bregenz, Austria) the closest airports would be in Germany (Friedrichshafen or Memmingen) or Switzerland (Zürich, Altenrhein) - but it just shows me the Austrian airports (Innsbruck, Salzburg) altough they are far further away. Otherwise a nice idea.

With all of the Ubuntu fonts so far they've released to a limited beta group and then moved to public testing (with bug tracker). I'm not sure I agree with keeping things closed for so long, but I suspect it makes the design side much more pleasant.
I guess I count as a multiple entrepreneur at this point, and I'm absolutely sure: starting your own business does not make you superhuman any more than anyone else, and trying to put in a silly number of hours over an extended period will still make your work rubbish just like everyone else.

I would not be surprised if the entrepreneurial mindset exaggerated the effect mentioned in the article where people who put in crazy hours feel very productive as a result, though. Perhaps that's one of the differences from just being a geek working for someone else: if it's your business, you are not only the geek who thinks he's being super-productive by working too hard, you're also the manager who has to tell the geek to stop being foolish.

Announcing my second e-book "Sed One-Liners Explained"
That's mainly it.

Also, most 'airports' are near cities, but most 'places' in the world aren not cities, but are slap bang in the middle of two, three or even four cities. So which airports serve Stoke on Trent? or Schweinfurt? or Alcanar?

Choosing airports for those locations is really something only a human can decide. I may well travel 150 miles from an airport to my destination if it's really important, but that's for me to decide.
Perhaps! I had to login on my iPad and it was kinda annoying, thought I'd help the masses. :)

You're right, compared to Chrome or even FireFox it's a lot of development overhead.

But we've built IE toolbars successfully using C#, which at the very least is head and shoulders better than C++.
I'm a little surprised there's only English on that screen. Perhaps they localize it? That seems potentially flakey to do if the system is in an unstable state.

OSX's Kernel Panic screen has a handful of languages explaining what happened.

EDIT: I suppose they could generate the text/page statically when the OS is installed and every time the locale is changed thereafter. If that is what they do, it's better than what OSX does.
Well spotted, If I pick this up again, I'll show airports based on radial distance and not country.
For example, VLC (and, IIRC, Firefox) uses asymetric crypto to sign the update messages and the binaries. And the private keys are in none of the VideoLAN servers, but in other secret locations.

So, if the server is hacked, or a DNS is spoofed, you cannot make auto-update pull broken/malware binaries.

The problem is that, if your update process is buggy in some release, you loose those users forever...

Using JavaScript Objects for storing data
Why not? For instance, feature proposals are just the previous phase of high-level requirements. And high-level requirements are just the previous phase of (or introduction into) the spec.

I'd think of it as a big documentation where some parts are complete and mature (down to the level of code), while other parts are still in draft (feature proposals).

Or change management: Of course everything should be under version control. And I guess that bug descriptions should still be part of a ticket system or at least the commit messages. But I never understood why feature proposals are discussed more in a discussion-based manner (ticket system) rather than a document-based manner (wiki, or documentation).

Unfortunately, I was never part of a development team which was seriously into LP, so my suggestions are only based on my understanding of LP, and small proof-of-concepts on my own.

I'd love to read about bigger real-world projects which apply LP, or which at least apply some other documentation-driven approach.
This looks pretty cool. I am curious to see how they will compete with Dropbox in time, though.

It does seem like FolderShare all over again - which Microsoft acquired, sat on, and subsequently re-released no less than three times with different a different name and different level of stability. It seems to be the role of the startup to re-implement correctly what large organisations screw up.
Honestly you're asking the wrong people. Figure out who your market is and go ask them. That's really hard. I still suck at it nut I'm convinced it's the only way you'll really be successful.

It works as in today's keynote... Does that mean it's a bit hard to navigate, and not all the apps work? They seemed to have a lot of technical problems in the keynote. My favourite was when they are holding a tablet up to the screen early on and he states "We're going to open the Bing app..." and a woman whispers over his shoulder (on a mic that everyone can hear) "No don't do that!"
There's no guarantee that supply increases indefinitely. At some point it will negatively affect your margin per unit. Until you get to that point I guess the goal is to manage demand by staggering releases to different areas and segments.

Even so sometimes your margin goes down but the consumer price is the same like when Apple expanded ipad sales thru Walmart/Best Buy/Target/whoever 6 months after the ipad launched when their supply started to ramp up. Their margin for an ipad at Best Buy is what 15% lower then if they sell it direct but the customer pays the same price.
Limited time ONLY - Save $299 on Advacned SEO Training
True. Instead of obsessing over whether we should sit in place for 10 hours straight, or stand in place for 10 hours straight, we should think about moving around a bit. Walk around the office floor every now and then. Trade a few emails for in-person stop-bys. Keep a refillable coffee cup or glass of water, and walk to the farthest kitchen or breakroom for refills each time. Pace the halls like a crazy person when brainstorming. Etc.

To a large degree, sedentary is sedentary, no matter how you dress it up. Our bodies did not evolve to sit (or stand) in a fixed location for most of the waking day. And our brain's health is highly correlated with cardiovascular health.
Many moons ago, my engineering school had classrooms full of wooden drafting tables (not unlike this: http://www.plotter-printers.com/oak-drafting-tables-2/ ). I cannot find online a picture similar to the wooden stools we had: tall, square seat slightly tilted forward at perhaps a 15 degree angle, cross-bars usable as foot-rests.

(Later, of course, "progress" occurred and the furniture was replaced with plastic chairs and tables.)
QR code security risks in the car park
Ganhar Dinheiro com - MagnetSystem
I've grown the most as a programmer literally kneeling or standing behind the shoulder of programmers with 5 to 8 years more experience than I had. Those hours I spent in that position was more beneficial than hours sitting in expensive classes, hours spent debugging, hours spent reading, hours spent building new programs... combined.

The speed of great content delivery by watching someone much better than you code can be overwhelming. If the gap in experience is too large, it is like trying to show calculus to a monkey. He's not going to get it, and it will get bored. There needs to be a common ground to transmit common ideas, analogies, and new knowledge. The viewer has to put in a huge effort to keep up.

There needs to be feedback from the viewer to say: "Hey stop, what is this devil magic you are doing right there". And the presenter can stop and explain how this is muscle memory to him.
This pretty much gives guidance on the use of QR codes for any purpose.

I do a similar thing in bash for more normal development - basically a script to run my unit tests, look for OK/Error in the output and print either a couple of bars in green or the error output in red. It runs over and over again in a separate monitor, so as soon as you have wrong code, you know about it.
This is great. Nobody ever travels from airport to airport, yet every flight search engine insists that you enter departure and destination airport names instead of places you actually want to go to. How am I supposed to know what airports are nearby a place I've never been before?
I am also a bit surprised we are seeing a kanban tool from fogcreek.
At work we have used fogbugz + the kanban plugin. Although the kanban plugin does not allow for the same level of fanciness when editing notes, the fact that it is integrated with fogbugz makes it more attractive.

Advise him to learn the concepts on software engineering. Starting with software design using models/diagrams. It's a good way to visualize his app and the overall project. Then, he could move to coding using tutorials available on the web.
Baidu is given special state endorsements, permission to skirt copyright laws, network priority (it's not mysteriously blacked out half the time, because it plays well with the Communist Party), and allows the Chinese people to use something distinctly Chinese.

Hipmunk's visualization is pretty badass... BUT it's one airport to one airport.

If you could draw lines from each starting point to each ending point with a price range of the flights available then you are solving a different problem.

You are visualizing that the trip from Tampa to Hawaii could be much cheaper if I drove to Orlando. If that 2 hour drive saves me $500 per ticket then it might be worth it.

Just a thought.

FWIW, Orbitz will allow you to search for flights by city names rather than airport codes. I'm not sure how it decides what airports serve a given city, though.
> However if you collect all those uncopyrightable facts together into one database/collection, then that database/collection might be a copyrightable work.

True, if there is at least a modicum of "originality" in the selection and/or arrangement of the uncopyrightable facts. In the U.S. Supreme Court's Feist case,[1] the Court held that an alphabetical arrangement of names, etc., in the white pages of a phone directory did not include the requisite originality.

The State of Testing
What gives you the impression that lying on a comfortable mattress is good for you? Comfortable and supportive aren't always the same thing, and neither one is particularly "good for you". Mattresses are really hard to get right. It depends on the shape of your spine, your weight, whether or not you have back problems (and which), and personal preference. There are trade-offs involved.

If you find evidence so important, I suggest you show me yours, as I find it to be strangely lacking. Ah, the irony.
