Just played with the N9 this morning again. Very sweet, the feeling of swipes on the curved screen, and especially the "news feed" of everything happening on your phone and in your social networks together. This is not an app phone, but instead a device with a refined user experience where everything fits together.

Disclaimer: I'm a long-time Maemo user and also involved in building the open source app store for MeeGo, N9 included.
Here is McKinnon's flyer: http://mckinnonsmeatmarket.homestead.com/Menu.html. I'm not sure on ground chicken price, but you can see the prices for chicken breast on there. I've never personally been there, but there is a Yelp review from July that confirms buying split Chicken breast at $0.99/lb.
That site hurts my eyes.
In that same span of time, how many thousands of emails from other services you signed up for but don't particularly care about at the moment did you receive?

That's how you can miss something like that.

For some reason, every business in the world thinks it's important enough that I am going to be constantly monitoring it to make sure I'm still signed up, active, don't want all my stuff deleted, etc. But for the most part real people can go years at a time not caring about services like this, yet still have a reasonable expectation that their stuff will still be there when they go back.

As luck may have it, this interaction spurred me to check my Hotmail account again, because I used it as my backup email address for a few services several years ago and they have a nasty habit of deleting accounts for inactivity. Sure enough, all my email is gone. Evidently because it's been a few months since I logged in. Completely inexcusable, but at least I caught it before they deleted the account entirely.

Amazing that companies think this is acceptable behavior.
That should be false. Games bring back millions of users to facebook. Remember that while facebook attempted to hide games some time ago, they reintroduced viral features like a scrolling side ticker to spark up the traffic. Why would they do that if they would not benefit from it?

I couldn't disagree more. I moved back to NYC because after six years in the Valley, I thought I needed some change. I have two major gripes with the Valley.

The first is that it is a bubble chamber. People there follow their passions. This is a good thing but I believe they are out of touch with the common folk.

The second is what I perceive to be a general, blatant disregard for non-engineering and non-data-driven approaches to startups. I remember when I was figuring out my own project, I had wanted to take a more design-oriented approach to it, and one well-meaning friend suggested I create a "contest" to attract designers (i.e. get them to do some work for free). At least he didn't flick off the idea of making design of central importance, on par with engineering. I mean, what gives, right? Designers are makers too.

Make no mistake, now that I'm here, I don't think it's going to be easy or pretty here. The blatant disregard goes the other way around here. I can't shake the feeling that tech is regarded as second best, that people are cynically passion-impaired, and that good engineering is simply not appreciated outside of a few top shops like Jane St. Most of the startup engineers I meet are strangely risk-averse and used to working for MBAs, practically to the point that they seem defensive when introduced to someone who isn't. Chances are, I will probably end up back in the Valley at some point.

But to think that the Valley is invincible is wrong. The success of Twitter, Tumblr, Etsy and FourSquare are ample cues to the weaknesses of the Valley. These are not edge cases. They are a pattern. And this is fine. I think the two can coexist and learn from each other. If anything, going between the two makes you realize how arrogant each of their cultures are about themselves.

Yes, open source C++ IDEs remains a difficult area... I think Qt Creator is pretty nice, as it groups all kinds of useful tooling together but is very focused on Qt.

The Eclipse C++ support is also pretty good these days. But it was too long ago that I looked at Visual Studio to argue anything about being better or worse...

I would welcome Visual Studio for Ubuntu though :-)
No matter how you see it, for a billion dollar company, Zynga adds nothing to the technological stack. Frankly, can you give examples where they innovate? You mention game design, but I remember playfish making beautiful designs years ago.

" then we'll just have to agree to disagree."

Oh, no, some of those are the companies that I am the most excited about in the current tech scene. I am not the kind of guy anyway who want to prove a point on this (despite the above 'rant'). I am just happy do discuss this. (I am an INTP and not INTJ). I don't have data on this, I just have a feeling that there were way fewer so called tech-startups 30 years ago, and according to some metrics (revenue, publicity) the ratio of highly-tech-oriented-from-the-start startups were higher. A thorough research on this would be interesting.

My words do. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, I prefer many things about Python over Perl not just the syntax. I wasn't claiming that I think others are stupid for liking or using it, just my personal preference of what I like in a language.

Perhaps I could have worded it a little less flame bait like:

Pity I didn't like your idioms and we had to break up as my eyes and heart prefer Python.

Any better?
That is a welcome change. Previously, Route 53 was useless for services that involve hosting user domains (web hosting, for example) because of $1/month charge per zone. 1000 low traffic sites would cost $1000 per month just for domain zones. With the new pricing the cost would be $110. That is close or even lower than what competitors are charging.

For those on HN who use Route 53: Would you recommend switching from another provider?
I highly doubt that. You can't have an open source software with DRM.
To be honest, I think that claim is from The DaVinci Code, which also confuses the dead sea scrolls with gnostic writings. That book is in turn inspired by new age theories that the gnostic gospels are a more original account of Christ, while the canonical gospels have been corrupted by the dogmatic church.

This view is not scientifically supported though.
I would have been excited to see Perl6!

The lack of a Facebook app for the iPhone hurts Apple more than it hurts Facebook, in my opinion. Facebook has a near-monopoly in feature-rich social networks (yes, the specifier was inserted to discount Twitter, but I believe Twitter has a very different market/userbase from Facebook and isn't in direct competition; I'd be happy to argue about it) and its most threatening competitor, Google+, probably isn't going to have a native app for iOS anytime soon.

In addition, a native app will make it actually harder for users to run Facebook apps; apps that require micropayments will be especially problematic within Apple's framework.

Is the user goodwill from releasing an iPad app worth potentially driving users away from Facebook apps? Probably not. Apple, on the other hand, lives and dies by user experience.

I am all for hanging out with smart people. Learning and working on tough problems. But If your even half serious about doing something big. Those leanings have to happen quickly. You will have to then go on by yourself. Do something on your own, lead and manage something big.

My point was that there is no benefit in being the average among the best. But you can do wonders by being the best among the averages.

Of course you can disagree with this. But more often, all you will need is certain guiding principles in life 'which you need to learn from smart people' after that you will have to the grind work individually on your own. The sooner you learn those principles the better. There is never going to be a situation where you will be carbon copying from those smart people all over the time.

The other sort of learning, is incremental learning which happens all time, regardless of where or what work you do. Regarding specific life changing learnings, there are only going to very few of those in your whole life.

Good point. I looked into SendGrid, but went with PostMark afterwards. It was easier to set up.

The reason, if I recall, is that SendGrid made emails come out with a "sent via SendGrid" header, which I didn't like. To remove it, I'd have had to sign up for a paid deal with SendGrid. PostMark let me get things working first, then decide whether to pay or not.
Redefining loans requirements
I use route53 for all of my domains (I don't have anywhere near 1000). The $1/mo was worth it to me simply to ease the pain of updating DNS information; I set the name servers once (to point to AWS), and then only have to look to one place (through shell!) to manage DNS. I switch VPS hosts often enough that having shell based tool like route53 to switch DNS records has come in very handy. I also have a habit of switching domain registrars regularly. Having DNS managed by a 3rd party like route53 makes a change like this simple (just updating name servers once the transfer's done). I don't have the time to learn how to manage my own DNS server, so I'm happy to pay $1/mo to make my life a bit easier, and even happier to pay $0.50.

I would recommend going to one of these if it your first time. However, if you have attended, you should be heads down creating something, inStead of just going to another start up event.

Actually that wasn't the question pg asked. He asked if NYC would ever surpass the valley and concluded that, among many reasons, the fact of NYC as a finance hub could create enough competition for devs that it might actually prevent NYC from ever surpassing the valley, i.e. there might not be enough focus on start-ups for start-ups to win.

Honestly, this is one of those questions that is going to be impossible to answer until you have something up and running. As long as a cheaper alternative already exists (Caltrans) people will assume the cheaper alternative is good enough and tell you $0.

Most people didn't think they wanted or needed an iPad until Apple put it in front of them. And according to Thomas Watson the world only needed 5-10 computers. At the time, these were reasonable answers. Honestly, people don't know what they want until you show them a better way.

If I remember correctly from a few weeks ago, Zynga revenues increased and most of their spending remained flat, but they've increased spend on R&D dramatically hence why they are showing lower profit figures. This is a smart move, in my opinion. You can lead a market by being good at capturing it early on, even if you simply just copy other people's ideas, but to remain there or go beyond that requires innovation especially as competition increases or the nature of the market changes.

I think his point is that the code is written differently than it would be written in practice solely to make a pedagogical point. Tutorial code should exemplify well-written practical code in addition to whatever concept is being demonstrated.

This particular construct is debatable - I personally think it can read better to explicitly break out a boolean statement like that in some cases, especially in a simple method like in this example. I certainly wouldn't take a hostage over that opinion, though.

On the other hand I see a massive drop in Python's popularity these days. Earlier it used to get all the talk. Coffee tables, forum discussions, debates what not. Also few days back, I used to run into people choosing Python as a language for their project all the time. That seems to falling rapidly now.

The popularity and fan boy crowd seems to have moved to server side JS these days.

We are only days away from how people bash Python for more recent fancier options.

Because traditionally, the people I know playing Zynga games have felt embarrassed to admit they play games, which is silly.

Perhaps I've given the impression that I'm deeply passionate about Zynga becoming a success and for the world to unite under a flag of better gaming, but that's not what I'm after. I want to eliminate the stigmas of gaming, and as another poster said, expand the market.

That said, I'm bewildered by the anti-Zynga crowd here. No one forces people to play Farmville, and though I really hate the game, I'm not going to blame Zynga for people wasting their life away, just as I don't blame Blizzard for the people hooked on WoW. It's a choice people make.
