Caffeine keeps you from sleeping, but it does not make you awake. At least that is how I feel.

Also, I vastly prefer tea over coffee. Usually green/white tea, or mate tea (even more caffeine) or some herbal stuff.
Well, that is true with almost everyone. It doesn't lead many people to cheat on their business partners however.

I think editing text is a solved problem. Apart from that there are so many different text editors, that there is a perfect match for everyone. It's like hammers.

But how many times are you really editing text? Instead of some data structure that is somehow represented as text. This applies to configuration files, code, heck even human language.

It's can be easy to get distracted by the syntax and forget the underlying structure that you're editing. Because of that, I think the future is in editors that understand the semantic context, let you focus on that and hide as much as possible of the rest.
You know that google Earth, before being bought by Google, was made just because it provided a good intro to talks when he worked in Silicon Graphics?

People loved it so much that he realized he had "something".

Google just bought it when the product was complete.
Well, except for the fact that the blue box Woz and Jobs built in 1971 were tested using a frequency counter built by Steve Jobs in prior years.

Maybe building a frequency counter is something that your average non-technical teenager does these days - but I have to believe it was a little more rarified in 1971.

Just because Jobs wasn't as elite a hacker as Woz, doesn't classify him as non-technical.
Why Philippines is the best place to hire a Virtual Assistant?
Hiring a virtual assistant from the Philippines is a smart choice and it is highly favored by most clients. The question why Philippines is the best place to hire a Virtual Assistant will deeply answer by its working people.
The article does mention that you can find cheaper alternatives. The point is that other manufacturers have problems competing with Apple in the premium market.

Will Apple lower the price on the iPad? They will, if they can without compromising on quality. They did so with the iPod and the iPhone. They did it with the MacBook Air. Right now, they don't need to it with the iPad because it doesn't have any real competition.

If Audi and Mercedes had problems matching BMW on price while making more crappy cars, you'd say that a BMW was cheap compared to the competition, even though it's an expensive car.

With FreeBSD being so mature and old as it is, I think it's a given that the chance that it will continue for many years to come is very high. Sure enough, the risk is higher than going with "mainstream" Linux, but if you have the expertise, especially within the business, then it's a no-brainer if you will clearly benefit from all the great things FreeBSD has to offer. We're running FreeBSD with jails and ZFS etc. on a lot of servers and we're very happy with it. It's not hard for a Linux expert to pick up on. Anyway, that's my opinion.
> A company doesn't have a single conscience.

And because of that we should hold it with less responsibility than a single person? Even though it holds an order of magnitude more power than a single person?

Yeah, how about, no.

And about your other remark, that is nonsense. It is very possible to keep those checks to a reasonable level of responsibility and many corporations do so, with proper software engineering principles, without "turning into Microsoft".

When dealing with people's private information, one should err on the side of caution, not on the side of $$$, and it is obvious which route facebook took.

In fact, they are already in violation of several EU privacy laws, just because their privacy-pissing database has grown out of hand, they collect more data than they have the internal corporate infrastructure for to deal with this amount of private data of EU citizens in a legal manner in Europe. They went way overboard, maybe not in the US, but they are also incorporated in the EU and cannot oblige by our privacy laws because they collected too much data.

As far as I'm concerned, Facebook is on the verge of criminal negligence as EU laws for citizen privacy are concerned. So personally, yeah, I think nothing wrong with headlines of "Facebook privacy fuckup", as long as they're behaving like that, singular conscience or not.

That's why we have such laws, to keep corporations responsible.
"After six months, I couldn't see the value in it. I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life and no idea how college was going to help me figure it out. And here I was spending all of the money my parents had saved their entire life. So I decided to drop out and trust that it would all work out OK. It was pretty scary at the time, but looking back it was one of the best decisions I ever made."

Steve Jobs' reasoning was probably the main inspiration for me dropping out. And he makes a really good point. I also dropped out before I had any form of "success" (and it's also been one of the best decisions I've made). I'd like to think that if you'll succeed in life you'll do so whether or not you go to college. But the pressure to succeed becomes immense when you do something like drop out of college. That probably speeds things up.

But still, I agree completely that this Steve Jobs type dropping out should not be so readily encouraged. I only did it because I was absolutely sure about most of the things Jobs described in that quote above.
Even the original MacBook Air was cheap compared to the competition when it was released, from what I recall, about a $1000 cheaper than a similar Fujitsu-Siemens laptop (both non-SSD models).

The funny thing, of course, was that many people were comparing the very expensive SSD model to _normal_ laptops and complaining that it was way too expensive for a laptop.
I always preferred TASM than MASM.
I think a good feature would be an option to sync scrolling between the editor and the preview.
Great quote by Woz and I stand corrected. Guess I should read the darn book I bought.

Not to go all Most Interesting Man in the World on this tangent but I don't buy many biographies but when I do it's for Steve Jobs.* I imagine many people are doing the same and I think the meta idea of how many copies it will sell will be interesting (not shockingly high because I mean who reads anymore) but 5+ million by xmas might be possible I'd guess. I also wonder how many ipad owners broke their Kindle lock in and bought it on iTunes.

* Technically I guess I also bought Marcus Allen Super Raider when I was 9 or 10 years old in the mid 80s. Here's hoping this is half as good as Marcus Allen Super Raider was to me when I was 9 or 10.

I don't get it - is that because I don't have an iPhone or understand how Siri works or because I'm stupid?
I think the purpose with credit checks is to catch "irresponsible behavior", like a huge mountain of credit card debt, because it could make someone willing to steal.

It never really made a whole lot of sense to me, since most people in the tech industry in debt got that way through a failed startup, or maybe a divorce, or medical expenses, or something like that; none of which makes you a less good candidate. Maybe a lot of charge-offs would be an issue for a CFO.

My general philosophy on references is they only really count if they're strong mutually known parties; a random manager at IBM vouching for someone is pretty meaningless to me. The first circle is founders' personal contacts, then people introduced by their contacts, and people who are introduced by people known to early employees. That scales pretty far if you're hiring in a specific domain.
What startups have been bootstrapped by using envato marketplaces?
Good to know. I too think that HN can sometimes get on weird, polarizing, issues for too long: cult of Apple/Gruber, why Haskell/Lisp/etc. is better than anything else ever and if the world just knew this we'd claim our rightful place among the stars, what some random mildly known guy on this site has to say about some random topic, etc. and not enough of things of actual hacker interest like http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3065619
It's funny how the boss actually was the idiot for buying that guy. Even his goals in the beginning were stupid. I can only learn from this article that my goals are probably shit, too. At least as long as I don't have some experience as people manager.
How can u post that link again? Is HN not blocking old links?

You know what's cool about Siri? Apple now has a vested interest in improving natural language processing artificial intelligence as fast as it can. I don't think there's ever been a commercial interest in that type of technology at this scale before. And they probably have more cash to throw at this kind of stuff than any other company on the planet. I will be extremely interested to see where this develops in the coming years. You can imagine upcoming WWDC events unveiling amazing new Siri developments.

Services like Ixoth may end up being able to develop into much more useful products in the future, once they don't have to rely on hacks like SMS responses.

Light-on-dark was also for CRTs that bombard your eyes with an electron gun, iirc.

My opinion on this is based on anecdotal evidence only, but my eyes feel less strained with light-on-dark, even to this day, on high res LCDs.

Everyone else, experiment for yourself. Hold all other factors equal, and try one each straight for a few weeks, see if you can feel any difference.
What level would you say you are as a programmer? Are you a complete beginner? Have you done any previous projects?

I'll see if I can recommend some stuff based on what level you are. As some general advice I'd say to read the yii documentation and tutorials. This will help you gain context around the concepts of what the framework "stands for" and how it works. http://www.yiiframework.com/tutorials/

Also here are some beginner tutorials for codeigniter: http://codeigniter.com/tutorials/
You can look at these to learn the concepts of MVC.

STEVE JOBS: The Biggest Mistake Apple Made After I Left
zura, spot on.. so did I.. till things became a bit difficult after Borland started to implode and Win 9x reached the endzone.

for the new folk exploring TASM == http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turbo_Assembler :-).

wow, this whole thread coupled with the recent one on PE format has resulted in a serious trip down the memory lane for me personally.
What many real hackers actually think:
"Frankly, if Steve Jobs IS one of your heroes, you're not a hacker in my book."
Yes, in that case it's understandable. It's still standard government procedure, sadly :( (happened to me more than once, but then again I live in a 3rd world country so I expect it).
Ok, Monster is bad, agreed. But what sources would you use then?

Neat stuff -- note that the Linux kernel (and probably others, I'd guess) uses a similar technique to tag code/data that's only used during initialization. It gets put in a dedicated section of the kernel (or module thereof) that's discarded once it's up and running so it can reclaim some space. (See include/linux/init.h in the kernel source tree.)

Ask HN: get*.com and *app.com domain names
I am building "productx", which is a nice and suitable name for the product. Unfortunately, productx.com isn't available. But getproductx.com is available.

I never quite understand the hero bit. He was very successful and as such set a great example to follow. But he was in it for the money, and he land-grabbed a lot of stuff away from other people. It's as if somebody would buy all the land in my city. Sure, I would envy him and wonder how to get so much money, but I would not cheer him on for buying the land that used to be my playground.
Sorry pg, I didn't downvote you, but you're wrong (or you didn't read the comment you were replying to)

Here is what iamelgringo said
"Problem is, Paul. that YC companies do this exact same behavior on a regular basis. I've gotten emails from founders to ask for word of mouth upvotes on specific blog posts, etc.."

iamelgringo is just one of thousands of people who receives requests to upvote HN posts. I have received several requests myself (from people who are YC founders as well as people who aren't YC founders).

I'd be happy to forward some of those (mass-email blasts) emails to you, if you think that YC founders and other HN members don't game HN the same way that the nodejitsu guys tried to do)
I don't see a way of sharing items as a feed (like the shared items in Google Reader), is this possible? If I can do this I would be happy to use NewsBlur! Because I gave a try to Tiny Tiny RSS and it just don't do it for me. I still have to try RSSLounge, but I like NewsBlur.
I agree with everything except the point about material possessions - they're not bad, most of the times they can help you do things better and faster. It's just that you need to accept their imperfections and problems and stop spending time worrying about them. Radiator broke down? Whatta gonna do, repair it and keep going, don't think too much. USB drivers not installing? Find another way. Your equipment needs maintenance? Well of course it does, schedule some time and do it.

It's all about the mindset. I used to worry about stuff like this too much, until I realized that it doesn't really matter. Here's a quick way to test your mindset on this: if you have a scratch on your phone's screen and it bugs the hell out of you, you're too attached to your possessions :-).
Very nice but it seems to me that you are proxying only the top page off blogs and not the resources referenced by that page, including scripts, which is a security issue.
> Why do all of our heroes have to be hackers, anyway?

They don't, and shouldn't be, if you're an entrepreneur. And I agree with you wholeheartedly that Jobs is an incredible hero for an entrepreneur.

not just legal reasons.

I mean, I hire people without experience, or people with experience who have been forced into extended periods of unemployment/underemployment. Part of the deal is that they get experience working for me and go on to bigger and better things eventually. I give references. (I mean, I pay a legal wage as well, but I understand that anything I can pay them is nothing compared to what they are worth if I made a good choice hiring them)

People call and practically interview me. Me, the ex (and sometimes current(!)) employer. I mean, it was part of the deal, so I always try to give a good reference, but man, sometimes it just seems like they are overdoing it. One guy sent me this giant excel worksheet written in a horrible parody of English. I think I wrote him back with a textual (and good) recommendation, but I didn't fill out the xls. My guy got the job, too, so I guess it was okay, but I think that's expecting a little bit much out of an ex-employer, really.

Now, another thing you need to remember as an employer answering a reference check call? Legal bullshit aside, there is zero reason for me to say anything bad about an ex-employee of mine. I'm doing the ex-employee a favor, so either I'm going to make that a good favor and give the kid a glowing review, or I'm going to save myself some time and say something to the effect of "sure, that kid worked here, sure, I'd hire them again. Company policy prevents me from saying more." - I mean, I'm conscious of my deal with my employee, so it's usually the former; if someone works for you for more than a month or two, there are good things to say about them. (I mean, unless you are unable to fire people, and, well, I'm not unable to fire people.)

So yeah, from that point of view? I don't put a whole lot of stock in references, personally. I mean, if you actually verify the phone number, which most people don't, they do mean something, just, well, not as much as people seem to say.

Yeah, you could count all "yes he worked here, yes he's eligible for rehire, company policy prevents me from saying more" as black marks, but what if that really is company policy? what if the person giving the reference is just really busy and wants you off the phone?

Personally, I'm not sure you could even take a "yeah, that guy was a lazy shit" reference seriously; I mean, it probably says as much about the employer as the employee, more, maybe, if they are willing to take the risk of saying something bad about an ex-employee when there is zero upside to that risk.

It's worth noting Scott McCloud also did the Google Chrome comic - http://www.google.com/googlebooks/chrome/
I think this piece acts as a reductio ad absurdum of some of its premises. When your chain of reasoning leads you to the conclusion that "women are likely to bring diversity to a male founding team, and that’s not what founding teams need" it should be obvious that something has gone wrong, just as you would conclude after a mathematical chain of reasoning yields the conclusion "X is both even and odd."

In other words, this is an example of the pernicious spread of a purely financial-utility-maximizing perspective on decision making within the startup culture which deliberately ignores the necessity of making sure that all of our actions stay within desirable moral parameters. The observation that a smaller percentage of women than men in the current cultural context feel motivated to create and work in startups should not be a justification for ignoring the issue; it is a justification for interrogating our sociocultural organization, and a motivation for directing energy and resources towards making startups a positive force for changing prevailing cultural patterns. Entrepreneurship is about creating value and the reductionist idea that only financial value matters must always be fought vigorously.
Seconded :) But maybe that's because I used Turbo Pascal and Turbo C++! Just before discovering (and buying) the Watcom compiler.

This is awesome! I am trying to embed tubalr within a browser-based desktop environment and have a pair of (hopefully) quick requests:

1. I'd like to be able to pass in something via the URL that allows me to set the wmode of the video to be opaque or transparent.
This is to prevent z-index conflicts when I have two separate tubalr iframes that overlap each other when I drag those iframes around.

2. For the initial video that tubalr loads, I'd like to be able to pass in something via the URL that controls whether the first video autoplays or not.
This is to prevent multiple videos from playing at the same time when I have multiple tubalr iframes on a page.
