What this makes clear is that we need standards.

If there was a standard way of getting video from the producer to the consumer then producers could either go through middle-men (like Netflix) or host the videos themselves, and it wouldn't matter at all to the viewer.

I want to sit in front of my TV (or iPad, or laptop), choose some video from the biggest menu in the history of mankind, and watch it. I have no interest in who produced it, or who shipped me the bits. And I shouldn't have to have.
Your analogy doesn't really apply since you still have set the properties in Interface Builder. It's more like i'm just using a different stove. It does some, but not all. And most of the steps it does do are default for the class anyway. I like the finer grained control. If you're used to it the time difference is negligible.

Ask HN: Would you hire someone whose very smart but annoying?
We've found a great candidate who is eager, smart, technically solid and scrappy. But he is definitely a bit annoying - loud, talks too much, etc. Not sure if feedback to him would change those things (they're hardwired/part of his personality) so we're going to assume that's part of the package?

The question is should the technical competencies and smarts outweigh the annoyingness?

How so?

All Interface Builder really does is serializes the objects, much like you would any other object supporting NSCoding. The net result is that an instantiated view from IB should be identical to one you created manually.

IB certainly isn't the right tool for all situations, but its design is pretty clever with tight integration with the rest of the system. I can't see any reason not to use it, when it is appropriate.
I dont think that is an essential "bubble" element. What was interesting to me about these presentations was how innovative, fresh, and simple they were. It was like they didn't care to stick to paradigms expected by investors in the audience...hockey stick graphs etc.
Ask HN: Partner reneged
Asking on behalf of a friend:

Friend is referred to as SX, had an idea to start a sign company and partnered with a friend let’s call him DX, that had the resources available to do a pilot of 5 signs which would cost approx 250-300K.

Our arrangement was we would do 50/50 class A ownership and he would bring to the table this funding.

DX as of late isn’t able any longer to put up the 300K or even 100K to put up a sign thus the terms of the agreement have changed he has no capital to put up. He also decided that he was done with the company and that he would sell his percentage to me for 30K which is the expenses he incurred this year. Then he decided later that he would like to stay aboard. The problem is there is now no equity available to motivate key players or find funding as DX still holds 37.5% and I hold 37.5%.

SX -> 37.5%
DX -> 37.5%
Strategic partner -> 25%

We basically have a company with no value, with greater than 60% of the equity locked up with partners that either didn’t bring to the table what was agreed upon, and now wants money from me in return to buy them out.

We are standing at a cross roads as a very fragile startup company and the question is if the terms of the original agreement have not been executed as planned,can one just to walk away at this point and do it on their own? Is that acceptable if I choose to go down this route? At this point in time I have the money to pay the full salary of my sales guy without a partner and am entertaining the idea of spinning up a new company and giving him a percentage given that he is the one driving the company forward.

What is the correct approach?

Your problem isn't cities; it's Detroit.
I wish there was someone I could talk about this IRL.
I still don't understand how a bunch of stored-to-file object graphs "dirty the code base" but I guess you are right -- it is a preference thing. Believe me, I have weirder quirks than that when it comes to coding.

Your example, however, is probably amongst the worst to support the argument you are making. Here are the steps to create a tab bar view with four tabs, each containing a navigation view, and those containing alternating table views and plain views:

- drag out a UITabBarController

- remove the two default UIViewControllers instantiated with it

- drag out to the tab bar four UINavigationControllers

- select each tab and drag out to the center area of the view a UITableViewController or UIViewController

- customize to your heart's content

- there is no step six…

In my guestimate this will take at least 20 lines of boilerplate code, even with the minimal amount of customization. And you’d be missing out on all the rest of the benefits of NIBs, like the ability to see (and to some degree test) your UI without having to build and run your application or the ability to send it off for localization to a collaborator.

"Seriously, it'll be worth it not to learn about manual memory management."

This is not true at all and it is a very dangerous suggestion. Automatic Reference Counting indeed makes memory management an awful lot simpler (often you don't have to do any explicit memory management at all with it) but you still need to learn about it and understand it, otherwise all sorts of bad things will happen like memory leaks due to circular references (delegates come to mind) and crashes due to the autorelease pool high-water mark eating up all the memory on iOS devices.

IMO, it's even simpler...

Founders care about the company. Ultimately their focus is "what can I do for my company".

Everyone else cares about themselves (stock options, positions/titles, image/power, etc). Ultimately their focus is "what can the company do for me".
Disparate impact is orthogonal to education; it's a legal test that applies to employment, in disputes over the direct relevance of a criterion to job performance. This might affect WGU in some 2nd order way if it were claimed that credential requirements have a disparate impact (well duh, enrollment stats), but that claim would apply equally to any tertiary institution. It seems absurd, but I'm curious if that test has ever been tried against a national professional accreditation... Few quick searches didn't return anything.
Well if the partner was supposed to provide funding or capital to the company but failed to, then his ownership in the company is called into question. That partner failed to fulfill his contract to the company and doesn't have a legal right to the shares in the first place.

Realistically it depends ona number of factors. Is there anything in the company worth retaining? Ex a signed contract or sale agreement under the current company. If so, then you should fight to keep the company. Lawyer up and have him make a choice either pay more and lose his unearned share of the company or simply relinquish his unsubstaniated position.

If the company has nothing, then just start fresh.

I think that if you master UIView and MVC as Apple prescribes it, you learn the conventions you need for proper memory management in ARC. Knowing the conventions is going to suffice.

My argument wasn't to go and be naive about memory management. It was to not worry about it right now. Memory management makes the already steep learning curve of Objective-C even steeper, and can scare away newcomers.
Well publish it then and post it here! Just change the byline to "I'm glad Arrington resigned..." and all the same arguments follow. A lot of the stories that frontpage on HN seem to be opinionated follow-ups to recent news events.

"If you run a profitable bootstrapped company and you are reaching your customers, why speak to the tech press and discuss your financials? It would attract competition and I can't think of any upside."

I don't know about disclosing financial details, but the answer to the rest of your question is ego. Many people succumb easily to the desire for social recognition, even at the cost of strategic advantage.

Speaking from personal experience, it is sometimes difficult building a solid business that goes completely unrecognized outside of your own customers. It's a normal and accepted part of doing a boring business, but I can at least understand those who allocate resources to the pursuit of a little bit of ego gratification.
It hasn't yet been validated by outside investment, but it's somewhat being validated by user tester sessions -- 3 user sessions thus far which were pretty positive (albeit they're somewhat close to the co-founders so judgement/impressions might be skewed, which is what I'm afraid of..I think they feel the same way and are looking for several outsider testers)

My dad told me the same thing, to use it as a learning experience and see how things play out over the next year...if nothing else I made 65k and it could potentially be a hit of which I own a 3% stake, worst case scenario I now have 65k in my pocket that I can use to come up with and fund my own ideas (as I have several).

Only problem I see is. Does he talk more than work?
they've surged a lot; as far as I can tell, market rents have surged more than 20% but I think your 'average place' in 2010 was actually a very good deal.

It's funny, I've been calling around trying to find places for my employee to live, 'cause he's kinda shy and I'm, you know, the guy who sells stuff. One of the places that was being rented by an owner said they actually lowered the price because the economy was so bad. Which is funny, 'cause all the professionally managed places are jacking up rent a lot. (this place, actually, was a lot like you describe. Big, private room, private bathroom, about $600/month. I mean, these places exist, but that is decidedly below market.)

So yeah, you can find below-market deals. Your place last year was one, unless it was exceptionally tiny.

in 2006-2007 I was writing the book of xen; I rented a 2/1 in santa clara (Right on the border of sunnyvale) for the two of us right next to the Lawrence caltrain. By Sunnyvale standards, that's a bad negborhood. And the apartment was pretty shitty. $1250 for the whole thing, and we actually had the cops come by our place looking for the previous tenants. We saw the cops going after several neighbors, too. I mean, I didn't feel unsafe or anything; it's not an area where the cops automatically assume everyone is poor or criminal, but it was definitely not a good area.

It's possible that I've gotten exceptionally shitty deals, but from what I've seen, $400/month was way below market (though, not unobtainable; just way below the average price) for a room in Sunnyvale anytime in the last five years.

MeeGo Deathwatch: Intel Reportedly to Discontinue Development

What if I don't fall asleep exactly when I should?

For instance, let's say I had to get up at 8AM. The recommended times are:

11PM
12:30AM
2AM
3:30AM

What if I go to bed at 10:40 but don't fall asleep until 11:30? I'd be in between sleep cycles, right? And am I correct in assuming that the closer I fall asleep to when it recommends, the less groggy I would be in the morning?

I tried out the Wakemate a while back but it wasn't syncing with my Evo and I had to get a refund. It was a shame because I really want to get better sleep somehow and the Wakemate seemed to best product out there. I'll try the Lark when they have an Android app.
Less popular as a Google search doesn't necessarily mean less popular, in some cases. For instance, I saw text messaging on your down trending list but that is obviously as popular as ever. People probably just don't feel the need to search it because it has become so ubiquitous.
How to find out the number of Calendar users?
How can I get the # of users for Web-based calendars for Gmail, Yahoo, MSN etc? Or How many calendar events / tasks are created each year? Google search does not turn up anything. Even a formula to get rough figures would help as well.

Thanks,
I've done my last internship in a small startup in Paris where the 3 developers did not get along at all. Everyone was eating separately, they were not speaking to each other during the day except to talk about the project specifically and it was really hard to integrate. The software was working and was pretty good but who knows where they would have been if they all had the same goals and shared a lot except just work.
In most of the interviews of startup founders I've seen (especially in the book startups open sourced) it really seems that culture, getting along, etc. is really vital for most of the startups to succeed.

On the other hand, in bigger company, hiring someone really smart can be done even if he is annoying because he will be one in a hundred or more.

I spent the first month struggling with memory management, and kept being paranoid about "autorelease". Now, I ONLY use autorelease (well in 99% of cases). I don't get why so many people say be careful about autorelease. It makes things so much simpler and prevents mistakes from not releasing after allocating. I wish I learned this much earlier.
The most important question is: How will he affect office morale?

A hotshot employee is great and all, but if his personality problems negatively affect the rest of your crew, it's a net loss. Bad attitudes are infectious.
One of the footnotes reads 'Majority of unpaid work includes chores such as housework and shopping'. I would have expected it to mean 'extra unpaid time at the office'.

I can't tell, but it seems that they're basically adding up everyone's time spent on all the activities during a year (say) and dividing them by 365. This doesn't seem very useful, e.g. what does comparing time spent on childchare tell you if include the childless? Hours of paid work if you include the unemployed/part-time workers?

Regardless of your decision, I would ask that you find a polite way to inform this candidate what you think of his personality. Even if you don't accept him it will help him learn to control his abrasiveness so he will have less difficulty trying to find work.

That said, if you're already having doubts it's probably not meant to be. If he were just working from home or something it wouldn't be much of an issue, but people who work together daily need to not hate each other =)

I'm not sure I agree with the article. Given that Scala has tried to encompass every paradigm except 'goto', it's hard to argue that Scala is a carefully tuned high performance machine (e.g. a specialty sports car, that Alfa romeo). Rather, Scala is a bit like a Java that had been 'improved' by the Windows Team. Lots of pieces of flair, plenty of buzz words and a very complicated UI/language. As a car, it seems more like a combination between the Alfa, a Zamboni and 18 wheeler.
