With a monthly burn of only $150 though, why kill it? The all or nothing approach seems stubborn to an outsider. Maybe it doesn't generate a full time income, but you only need 30 users to break even every month. That seems like an achievable goal.
There are 3 free implementations of WebGL, and I think Opera support is on the way. If there's a WebGL game that you want to play, you can install Opera, Chrome, Safari or Firefox.

As for mobile, neither Apple nor Microsoft will support it. Flash will be around for years, but platform support is on the wane.

Estuve la semana pasada en una conferencia sobre restaurante madrid, Cocina Madrileña y bellalola madrid. Cada día me sorprendo un poco más de cómo muchos conferencistas nombran páginas de Internet relacionadas con su campo de especialización y esta vez no fue la excepción. Porque me acerqué a la persona que había sido la invitada especial a la conferencia y le consulté sobre si había un buen sitio web sobre restaurante madrid, Cocina Madrileña y bellalola madrid. No pudo darme una mejor ayuda.
It's easier with Connect/Express haha, stream.pipe(res) vs callback(200, {}, stream). We've been down this road in the past, in fact Express started out a bit more like this, abstracting away node's req/res, but it's a leaky abstraction that doesn't really provide any real benefit. As far as "filtering" on streams etc, this is something node core should provide (and will be shortly) so it's irrelevant in that respect as well
A git server (at least on a personal scope) requires close to zero management. Fire up an Ubuntu box on Linode or such, `sudo apt-get install git`, boom, there's your server. A git server is nothing more than "filesystem + SSH + git".

Not to say GitHub doesn't make it even more convenient, but the DIY option isn't exactly difficult either.

There may be other ways to package it before releasing it for free as well. Remember, patio11 manages to charge mostly teachers $30 (although not monthly) for bingo card software, but it took him 4 years of learning and optimizing to get there.
Only if you've got a short memory.

Think back to 1999-2000ish. Palm Pilots were The Next Big Thing, Microsoft were pushing Windows CE handhelds of which every OEM had to have their own. Psion had their wonderful but sadly disregarded Series 5.

There was a large ecosystem of handheld touchscreen devices that was frankly pretty close to mass market many, many years before the iPhone, and from which I'd suggest iOS and Android borrow a number of interface concepts.
I agree with this entirely. I was at a company that used Jive software. While it was better than anything we had before it, it wasn't perfect either. I would have like to try out other tools instead. The problem was that it was implemented in a top-down fashion without any input from the people who ended up having to use it the most.

That's how I feel about a lot of "enterprise" web products these days - from the outside they seem very successful because they have good sales teams that can convince managers to implement the product and get big sales numbers, but the product is actually lackluster and employees would use something else if given the choice. The power of the sales organization hides deficiencies on the product side.
Are you really going to claim that no one has ever used the generic term "open source" prior to the folks in the OSI?

That's actually not true. You can use QuickCheck with "normal" code that has side effects, too, and it's every bit as useful there.

Just watched a few of the videos and I think I've been able to answer my own question. He doesn't have a real passion for the game as he states in one of his videos. For that reason I don't think he will, or can become elite (on Tour) but I don't doubt that he can still get to expert level after a few more years of dedicated practice.

I think that passion part is key to becoming truly great. The passion drives the desire to practice, and practice well with large gains. During his time Hogan was known for practicing more than any other golfer, when he began to do really well on tour the other golfers started joining him so they could keep up. When asked how he was able to work so hard and practice so much he replied that he hard a hard time getting to sleep because he couldn't wait to get to the range in the morning to practice. Hogan was and still is known as the greatest ball striker ever.

Again, I believe that Talent = Passion + Time Spent. A component of passion is dedication and perseverance which he seems to have but there's something else that really drives it. Without it I think he's limited to what he can achieve.

Perhaps it's idealistic but I don't think anyone who lacks passion can hit like Hogan no matter how much time they spend. I'm sure they can become very good, but not like Hogan.

What about the Atlassian approach [0]? They give the recruiters a chance to prove that they can deliver excellence and if not, both parties know it won't work out. I think it's a good model for the employer and the job-seeker.

I'm obsessed about branding, names and domains so if I had the money I would most definitely buy it. But in your situation? Doubtful. You already have the brand .com so how are you going to use this one, as a cheap url shortener domain? Or is it for a cool domain hack which you are going to use as your main domain?
How about if I tell you what I view as one field that falls short of expectations and then you can scratch it off your list. I work in the medical research field, specifically in cardiac stem cells and stem cell therapies. The aim is to inject stem cells into the scarred/diseased portions of the heart with the hope that these stem cells will regenerate into or 'grow up to be' adult cardiac cells. In short, from my own research and those of others, injected stem cells have only produced mechanical improvements, ie, the cardiac function (output or pumping action of the heart) improves by 5%. Many see this as a 'measurable' benefit (despite double blind studies). Personally, I see it as within the limits of statistical error. The other problem (and no one has conclusively demonstrated) is that there is no electrical activity coming from or being generated from these engrafted cells. So, to make a long story short, stem cells in the realm of the heart and as a therapy has hit a brick wall. In culture, stem cells have been shown to differentiate into their intended adult cells. But in reality, and with so many other variables, the injected stem cells may act entirely different once they are injected into the heart. Many startups in this area will try to spin it and say 'we are very close, we just have to tweak it'. But in my opinion, 'injected cardiac stem cells' and 'regeneration' just don't go in the same sentence anymore...

To be sincere, the idea of sending a 737-sized reusable spacecraft to LEO when it usually lands empty is not practical.

You could send the the payload up on non-reusable vehicles and, after a couple trips, send a reentry vehicle to bring down anything that still can be reused.
Although I do agree that Open Hardware has a bright future, I'd just like to point out that people have been calling the end of transistor size scaling for a few decades, and technology keeps finding ways to get around the limitations (strained silicon, high-k metal gates, finFETs, etc.).

Wow, the arguments as to why google is a monopoly are almost surreal. It seems that the main argument is that they have a better/popular product and hence they should be punished for that. Whomever is pulling the strings from behind is really playing dirty. I hope it comes back to bite them in the ass big time.

This whole thing looks too much like a witch hunt.
To understand why I was calling it progressive, I need to give some context to how I see health insurance in the US as broken.

The current health care insurance market is a lot of information asymmetry. I personally can not comparison shop for insurance. My employer is generally paying a portion or all of the insurance, so there is heavy incentive to take the insurance to get your best compensation. If I don't take it, my employer will not give me the difference that they are contributing. Using my employer to pay for insurance, it can be done pre-tax (generally, recent legislation may change that).

The lack of choice and information asymmetry is what bothers me, and I applaud and expect this companies model to start becoming more common (hence progressive), but in the short term it would make sense to let the employee decide between a company plan and taking the money.

Lastly, since this is a publishing shop, they may be used to dealing with more freelance employees/contractors which does typically include such a benefit.

Ask HN: how do you coordinate a team of programmers on one project?
I am 17 years old and working with 2 other kids in my school on building a game in the Unity game engine.

The issue we are having is that it's not just scripts that have to be updated and created as a team, but also the Unity stage that is more complicated and heavy to simply email or Dropbox, it just gets cumbersome.

Any advice to help coordinate, not only in programming and Unity but also in terms of what to do, and tasks.

Then you start running into failure. Modern electronics isn't really built to last, so having a laptop that will last you more than 10 years is extremely unlikely.

Until market demand changes to quality, long-lived electronics, you will still be rolling over your computing device every couple of years. And then there's always the trends and cycles of fashion...
I just signed up for them earlier today, actually. It seems simple so far. Nice looking interface.

Less features than GitHub (no file browser, no web interface that shows commits) but hopefully they will address that.
I'm sure Adobe is working on HTML5 tools. But,

It must cost them a fortune to support Flashplayer (which they give away for nothing)

The cost of supporting the free Flashplayer is paid for by the lock-in that this enables. Afterall, Dreamweaver doesn't have the kind of market dominance that Flash Professional has.
Crashing in a managed environment like Flash is never the developer's fault. These issues are either introduced by the browser vendor or Adobe.

It's worth noting that Adobe is very reluctant to deprecate API's. They've historically preferred (with AVM1/AVM2) bundling new VM's into the player over deprecating features. And any deprecation must be version-specific, and tends to be more for API consistency than anything else.

What really disappoints me is Adobe's reluctance to support really neat Labs projects like Alchemy. Want to run C (or any language which compiles to C, like haskell!) in the browser? It's been possible since Flash 9, way before NaCl. Official support is coming soon but it's a bit too bad it took so long.

See here for usages of "open source" prior to 1998, when OSI was founded:
http://groups.google.com/groups/search?as_q=&as_epq=open...

You can see on the first page results from 94, 95, 96 all used to refer to "open source" code, i.e., a program whose source code was available to users. That's just the first page. The term had gained sufficient prevalence to be mentioned in a press release from 1996. There's only one hit on the first page (for me, at least) that refers to "open source" in another context ("unable to open source file").

That's just the first page, there are many more pages of hits.
My experience doesn't match your statements at all. I run a Flash website (it's a game), and Flash is pretty much rock solid for me. My site has been up over 3 years, has over 80k lines of Actionscript, and I can count the number of times I've seen Flash crash on one hand. Even if you include reports from my users who have Flash crash on them, the number is less than 20. That's probably not too far from any software - including browsers themselves.

I'm not a huge Flash fan or anything; I don't care much for Actionscript as a language and I'm constantly looking at switching to HTML5, which I'm sure I'll have to do eventually. But Flash crashes aren't really an issue for me at all. I wonder if your poor experiences in Flash are created by the developer of those specific Flash applications that are crashing.

Personally, I think the Flash 11 features are amazing and, even if Flash may be losing relevance, I think Adobe's going in the right direction with it.
If you want him to 'really care' give him some equity or stock options. If he is as talented as you say he is then he can probably make more money elsewhere. If, however, he has equity then he actually has something to gain by working hard instead of simply not losing his job.

Some great feedback and I mean we have had some talks of re branding simply because at this stage we can.

They are useful when you meet business people, developers just google you or ask for your twitter/github/linkedIn/whatever.

Based on my own experience, it's better to have a few high quality business cards than tons of low quality ones, especially if you only hand out 1-2 every week. I got mine dirt cheap but they looked awful and were embarrassing to hand out. Select quality paper and an elegant template design and you're set (resist the temptation of designing the business card by yourself at this stage, this process can literally take weeks/months with all the design options available).

'You've got to find what you love,' Jobs says
Yes, it's one aspect of your marketing ...

Look at the problem and solution. You meet with somebody. You both want to maintain contact. You need to exchange some information to realize that goal. You could get each others cell phone number, scribble a URL on a piece of paper, etc. Each one of those is awkward to some degree and scraps of paper do get lost quickly or become indistinguisable from all the other scraps of paper.

Enter the business card, you could make it like a mini-brochure - not only have your contact details on it, but also the key points of what you do, etc. Easy to hand over and should remain more distinctive than some scrap of paper or a hasty entry in the cell phones address book.

From experience I find that having a blank and uncoated rear allows me to scribble further pertinent information for the person I'm giving it to.
Haskell doesn't really compile to C, unfortunately.

The (deprecated) via-c backend of GHC compiled to something that looked like C, but depended on a horrible Perl script to post-process the object output.

It does have an LLVM backend these days, though, maybe that can work?

I'm familiar with the Bingo Card guy (Patrick McKenzie). I read his blog. What he's accomplished is definitely impressive.

I think the difference is that he's providing something teachers already use, need, and look for, as opposed to a "new" kind of software solution. (Online gradebooks aren't that new, but they still are not in use by the majority of teachers.)

Maybe I didn't hit on this hard enough in the blog post—teachers just are not a ripe audience for software in general.
About a year ago there was a reddit project* to purchase an island and have a reddit community on the island. Although the idea is crazy it's entirely achievable, I love the idea of internet communities inhabiting an island. It's wonderful to see this actually happening somewhere else, can't wait to see how it all turns out.

I like the concept and the 'innovation' of the Mulberry team. Using Rails-like commands for creating a JS based mobile project is just a small innovation IMO, but the implementation (based on the video) seems well done. I love teams that are able to take an idea, no matter how small or large, and follow-through with it in a complete manner. I love that devs are creating cool new frameworks for the web/mobile space, it is certainly exciting.

With that said, I would like to offer some (hopefully constructive) feedback:
* The benefit of adding a Rails-like framework to create what is essentially a UI seems a little much. How do you guys feel this adds to the development time/maintenance/etc of a mobile UI?
* I understand that you're trying to address the pain-points of working with Phonegap, and the debug feature looks awesome. Can I get this without using all of Mulberry?
That's why I use this metric. Instead of a boolean "is/is not photorealistic", this gives us a way to measure progress.

I've seen some radiosity-based architectural renderings that have me fooled at about 800x600, I haven't seen anything in motion that has me at that resolution yet, and even the architectural stuff still breaks down at 1024+ (the models are still too clean).
