What a fantastic piece. Check the bottom for the sign-off: "People paid no attention when I harped about how to write __maintainable code. I found people were more receptive hearing all the goofy things people often do to muck it up."

You can tell that he's not talking about this from a theoretical point of view and that the majority of those samples were encountered in real life code.

I've seen a couple of them myself over the years (and I've been guilty of at least a few, especially in the beginning). To be able to compile such a vast set of examples must point to a very colorful career.

The best part of the whole thing is that you can read it two ways, invert every line in meaning and you get a pretty good naming conventions and coding standards guide.

I was to Fiji, and some of the islands had internet. One of them had a satellite connection, and apparently it was good enough for Skyping (I talked to someone having their job interview with a company in Singapore, it seemed to work great) - so there's your solution. They also put a cell phone tower on the highest island so most places actually have mobile signal. (About three mobiles per village, but hey!)
The only problem is electricity, no power grid. They use generators, for a few hours in the evening.

What islands did your friend go to?
Am I wrong in thinking that BankSimple outsourced phone/email support to their partner banks?

Ultimately, I think there is some truth to what Joe is saying. We have already seen the web stagnate under the reign of IE6 - almost a decade of no real innovation.

As web developers, we are limited by what the browsers are capable of. That's not to say we don't desire more... hence why a good proportion of devs and designers are using the very latest technology even though it hasn't been fully ratified by it's standards bodies.

People _want_ to innovate on the web. With every single one of the other platforms, the web comes for free - they have a browser and a working HTTP stack.

I think the challenge is protecting users. The fact that web is such a widely-used platform means even small changes to the supporting technologies can have vast security repercussions.

It's not ownership that's the problem - it's fear. What we need is a browser vendor that's prepared to stick it's neck out, to be daring with the technologies.

Also fear of accountability... as soon as you become the leader in the browser wars you become accountable for a huge proportion of the world's web experience. This was why IE stagnated.

So as a browser vendor, who do you cater for? The billions who just use your software, or the few-million who want to innovate on it?

This is why taking ownership is not an option. I would argue that browser vendors would actually prefer to have an equal proportion of users. If Android and iOS had that sort of reach, they would face the same problem. The difference being that some platforms actually make more money out of a wider reach.

This changes the dynamic somewhat - of course the owners of those technologies want to innovate, it's a huge income stream. But if someone took charge of the web, who would get all of the money? Who would pay?

So there's little incentive for ownership and in fact the last few decades have proven that there doesn't need to be ownership of the web to make it work. All we need is someone to stick their neck out - just like Apple did with the iPhone.

Nice story. Interesting view on problems and how people define them. Problems can be defined and constructed by workers as a method of explaining systemic or personal failures and they become devices to explain other issues relating to their own motivations and sense of satisfaction in their work. Maybe that's the trick - working out how solvable and how 'real' the problem is.

I've used both Django and Tornado and I vastly prefer Tornado.

Some personal experiences:
With Django, I specifically don't like ORM and it's template language. Also, I thought the admin interface would reduce the need to write input UIs, but at the end of the day, it's not that suitable for end-user when you have several end-user roles with different access right patterns.

If you (read: I) are going to replace Django's template language and leave out ORM and admin interface out of Django, Django doesn't really shine anymore and simpler frameworks like Tornado provide cleaner base for your development.

I cannot talk for your the grand parent, but I can think of a million reasons to have such a job. Great colleagues, good benefits (vacation, health-care, etc.), tied to a small town without good opportunities, ...

By the way, fixing other people's bugs and tech support may not always be quite as boring and demeaning as you make it out to be.

Your disdain for menial work is misguided. There's more to life than your work.
I love GitHub and when our company recently migrated its code to Git, we were much interested in hosting the code on GitHub. I was surprised that they have a repository size limit, or more precisely I was surprised by how low the limit is. They have no hard quota, but they "don't recommend repository size over 1GB". Plans don't make a difference.

We're a small four-people workshop, but our repos are easily several gigabytes in size because of the artworks, source photos and similar stuff. We would probably have squeezed under their limit, but did not want to live under the constant threat of growing out of it.

So, I love GitHub, will continue using it for my public stuff, but I am surprised you can't easily host 10-15 GBs of private code even though you're willing to pay $50 a month for it.
I really love GitHub's way of working. I think this is the future of working in a team.

Is there a page somewhere where I can see when it will be visible in certain regions of the world?
Great article. My personal take on this is that C programs are so damn reliable because there is nothing under the hood, the building blocks are so simple and transparent that you can follow the thread of execution with minimal mental overhead.

That means that when you lay out your program the most important parts (memory map and failure modes) are clearly visible.

IF you are a good programmer.

And that's the reason there is an obfuscated C contest, if a C programmer sets his or her mind on being deliberately hard to understand that same power can be used against any future reader of the code. Incompetence goes a long way towards explaining some of C's bad reputation. You can write bad code in any language, but none give you as much rope to hang yourself with as C (and of course, C++).

Not aggressive at all. Yes, I've started two actually (completely boot strapped mind you). One was a creative agency (huge market saturation) and one that is a niche social network (another huge market saturation). I haven't technically started my third, but I am essentially responsible for growing a consulting practice right now.

>There is a reason most YC companies are trying to disrupt markets rather than compete head-on-head with existing business models.

I also think the reason most YC companies disrupt markets is because they are generally younger and less experienced entrepreneurs who have little to no market network. And in many cases either sell B2C or sell to B2B to the same tech companies that sell B2C. Many small businesses (the one I worked for currently) are created by individuals who have massively entrenched business networks. The practice I currently am growing has gone from 3 people to 10 by the end of the year. We compete with IBM, Accenture, Capgemini, etc. in the professional services industry. We do ZERO SEO or generate word-of-mouth. Are we disrupting a massive services industry market? Yes.

Honestly I feel like you've gone off on a little tangent here about my original point. While you've raised many wonderful and valid points (that I don't have the time to give my answer) it doesn't negate the fact that being first really doesn't mean anything other than "I learned a lot". Ideally I want to be third or fourth, so that way I can just take all of the painful (read->expensive) learning experiences that the first guy did when trying to capture his product/market fit and just run off from there.

Categorically, let's look at some successful companies/products - Apple's iPad/iPod/iPhone - not first / Google's search - not first / Ford's Automobile - not first / Reddit - not first / Microsoft Office - not first

Being first as a qualifier for success is a myth. Doing it RIGHT first will make you successful.

Google Places is just another search engine but specifically for places (aka restaurants and stores). It used to be the case that it will aggregate all reviews from multiple review sites and show snippets of the reviews and then have a corresponding link for them to click on to go to the real site.

So in a sense, it's really just another search engine again, no different than the universal Google search, image search, product search, and etc. It's using the same indexed data but presented in two forms. Yelp wanted Google to remove them from product search and not universal search. This is why the google lawyer said this requires extra engineering. Yelp basically wants one thing and not another.

If you do a product search now, of course, you don't see any Yelp links at all (since they requested Google to remove them) and you see no snippets from any other review sites. All you see are google's own reviews and then some links on the bottom showing show more reviews from other sites. This was changed - and I think it makes it worse for Yelp and other review sites - but they wanted it this way.
YouTube converts 2D videos into 3D clips | Front Side Bus
I would contend that C does very little in the way of preventing errors and debugging them if they occur. The claim that "[..] only two C-specific errors have thus far caused any real problem in the Converge VM," is completely beside the point. Language specific errors have never been the problem. Java's infamous null-pointer exceptions are not java specific: the C equivalent would be a segfault. And please do note, that Java prints a stack trace by default to help correct the mistake. A huge step forward from C's generic segfault.

The real reason that most C programs in daily use are so robust, is because they are ages old. Many, many man-years have been invested in the production of e.g. BSD, unix tools, POSIX libraries, and even web browsers and word processors.

Why do we use Javascript and even PHP to program web-applications? Because we need fewer lines to get the same result. Moreover, given the correlation between number of lines and number of bugs, shorter programs are better.
If we had been limited to C "web 2.0" would have been decades away.

Kabutar thinks differently about your photos.. a kickass photo sharing app
Meet “Kabutar” (www.kabutar.in) the next generation photo sharing Application. Photosharing apps in the market today like Instagram or Path are solely focussed on sharing memories with friends. Kabutar differs in its approach by tying a broad set of uses around photographs.

Imagine what all you could do with a photo you ever clicked? If you can imagine, Kabutar can do it for you. Whether you own an iPhone or an android, or just the access to web, Kabutar is available everywhere* (LAUNCHING SOON). Let us explore what all Kabutar can do for you.

The Daily feature helps users take a photo of themselves everyday and set that as their status message on a variety of social networks. It also creates an awesome time-lapse video of how they’ve changed over a period of time.

The Photos feature helps users make their photos beautiful through a series of filters that they can apply and then share with friends. Try now (www.kabutar.in/filter.php) or submit you filter here (www.kabutar.in/submitfilter.php) and stand a chance to win a brand new Apple IPHONE 4.

Ever wanted to ask someone a question by simply clicking a picture? The Q&A feature allows users to ask friends and followers anything from ‘How does this dress look’ to ‘where can I buy a lamp that looks like this’

Wouldn’t be life simple and easy if you could sell or buy things from your mobile application by just clicking a picture? The 4Sale feature is a simple classifieds section that allows users to quickly and easily take a photo of an item they want to sell and post it online.

Founded by Karam Lakshman and Shubhendu Sharma, kabutar is seed funded by CIIE, IIM-Ahmedabad, and is based out of Bangalore. To know more about kabutar do visit www.kabutar.in/about.php
Kabutar is releasing soon at Apple app store. At present it is in closed beta. To get early access to the app and help us improve, sign up here www.kabutar.in or http://goo.gl/ZBjHY

It would be great and helpful to hear your candid feedback about the product. Please write to me at shubhendu@kabutar.in. And yes, if you like it do spread a word around.
The actual JS source is minified which makes it almost impossible to read (but if someone has the time to pick over it and post an 'autopsy of a stickman' blog post I'm sure the karma will flow readily!).

Often, a quick right-click will be enough to expose flash; JS/canvas/html5 will give you the normal context menu, flash normally produces its own unhelpful context menu. That's a good indicator.

If you have to go back to the source, what you're looking for in determining if something is flash or not is an <embed> or <object> in the main HTML. That's not always a sure indicator - it could be being added in JS. Likewise the presence of a <canvas> element is a good indicator that it's JS.

In this case, the huge number of .js includes is the biggest hint - 18 <script src=...> elements, including telltale file names like 'stickman.js', 'animation.js', etc.
> That's also not a problem you need to be a bank to solve. Mint and others are already doing a lot of innovation by pulling existing transaction data

Allowing 3rd parties access to your transaction history is a good idea?
I would actually strongly advise against reading. Vicarious entrepreneurism is a real trap.

It's better to start building or selling something. If your friends have any flair for business at all, tell them to open up a Shopify store and sell something. I actually recommended this to a friend who asked me the same question your friends asked. She's got a growing online jewellery business now. And she's keyed into the startup literature when she needs it.
So who are these web users?

Lets assume iOS/android users also have a full computer. Right now i think this is reasonably accurate. So that means all the web users are also computer users. What OS do you think these people are using??

Do you honestly think that the number of people with exclusively OSX/linux outnumber the number of people with unconnected windows PCs? There are a lot of rural areas in the world with poor connectivity, and a lot of people with incomes that make the cost of connection prohibitive (while old computers are litterally dumped).

Having said all that, it matters little to the developer, because those unconnected windows users will be almost impossible to reach and won't have the money required to make development viable anyway.

TL;DR: More people on windows, but doesn't matter.

Okay, you are stating it as if the money ($1000) is 'found'. But what we are describing is tax breaks, not the lottery. Tax breaks just mean less money paid on profits.

In order for you to suddenly have $1000 more, you would already have had to have had the money. In your scenario, where did the $1000 come from? You are talking about a small business loan where you have no revenue and are starting a new business, not tax breaks.
There could be some filtering going on, both on the type of programs one tends to write in C and the type of people that write C. It could be that problems for which C is chosen tend to be intrinsically more well defined (command line applications, kernels, libraries, etc). It could also be that C intimidates less talented programs so some self-selection could be happening.

It was Davis's fourth execution date, and it was dragged out, for more than four hours, to what must have been tortuous effect for the prisoner and his family.

Capital punishment is probably a relic that we no longer need and should be trying to outgrow, but this system that allows these constant, dramatic, last minute stays of execution is barbaric. Far worse than just being sentenced to death and killed. I'd wager that the founding fathers would find this cruel and unusual and be appalled.
