Prejudice needs defining as some people hold it to include the notion that it is unreasonable, rather than just pre-formed. Both definitions are found in most dictionaries.

Myself, I'm prejudiced (in the with-a-reason sense) against anyone who demonstrates compartmentalised thinking, in that I don't trust their decision-making or problem-solving abilities. They hold faith to be of value, and I don't. They use a tool that I have banned from my toolkit, and it leaves any output of theirs suspicious to me.

Doubly so if they're proud of faith, which applies to religion in general. Mormons are no exception, and in fact are quite the example of the pride in faith that is such a red flag to me.

I'm aware that compartmentalisation doesn't mean that people can't think perfectly reasonably and arrive at the correct conclusions from available evidence, and that I can amke mistakes and arrive at a wrong conclusion - they're not on a blacklist, they've just been removed from the whitelist and we'll go from there.

Faith is the denial of observation so that belief can be preserved" - Tim Minchin, Storm.
FWIW, I've actually used a really silly chip once that had a horrible-tastic toolchain that it came with, where char and int were the same size, and both either 16 or 32 bits (I forgot whether it was 16 or 32, unfortunately). (In case anyone doesn't notice: on such a system, sizeof(int) is still 1, as it is measured in units of sizeof(char).)
Ask HN: I'm not good at graphics, where should I search for some help?
hi,

I'm working on a social app, it's almost done but I'm not good at graphics.

I know the basics of gimp, but I can't really make a nice logo, nor a nice photo to use as background. I'm not good at choosing the colors either and stuff like this.

Which resources (maybe on the internet, or books) would you suggest me to look at?

Show HN: Little Python library for testing SSH clients
We use a lot of SSH-enabled switches and routers at work and it can be tough to create really good unit tests when the code relies on external devices, all with their own state, quirks and bugs. To get around this I created a little micro library called SSHim ( https://github.com/simon-engledew/sshim ) built on Paramiko which lets you stub out SSH servers. We use this to emulate a whole range of box interactions within unit tests.

Hopefully this will be useful for someone else out there!

MLM Business Opportunity | Work With Robert Dorsey
I'm also a single founder, and I'm investing part of my own money that I've been saving from all these years as a developer.

Being a single founder is hard, you have to deal with everything from incorporating, accounting, writing code, design, worry about SEO, how to introduce your project to the world get some momentum, etc..

Plus, add that to the fact that I'm from Europe, VC is very complicated here.

But because it's hard we should be more appreciated and not put aside.

I'm working on it for at least 3 months now and it's 90% complete, I've been able to keep motivated and I've learned lot along the way.

I just felt that this was the right path to go for me, I didn't feel the need have someone as a parter on this. I may be wrong in a long run but for now I'm pretty satisfied with what I've done.

Obviously I don't agree with YC rule here, I understand some of their view points , but not everything is true or false. Some great projects maybe aren't being looked into because of the single-founder rule.

But then again, you don't have to apply to YC or any funding, try something else, or simple bootstrap you idea and see how it goes.
One thing that is completely missed by the "letter-by-letter" comparison is that Roboto by default has much looser kerning ("letter-spacing") than Helvetica. This should make some difference when screen reading. IIRC iOS, even version 5, doesn't support kerning in UIKit. Does anyone know if Android does?
World thinnest phone - Motorola Droid Razr
Just build cool stuff, not products you feel will appeal to investors or customers. As both groups are unpredictable but at the same time you shouldn't have to try to pander to what they're looking for. You need to have an interest in what the product is and be flexible to pivot.

If you're building something for someone else you aren't very agile and can very easily become stuck as a company.

If you don't get into YC giving up is the worst thing to do, you should apply to YC for the experience not just for YC.

Otherwise will you just stop doing the startup after YC? These are questions people will have in their minds.

Good luck, interesting piece and some very valid and great points in there.

You say you and your co-founder disagree on this, who does the most coding?

You should go with what ever the one of you does the most coding prefers.

There are new languages popping up every day, each with legions of fans telling you why the new language is better than everything else.

In the end you can either spend your life being mediocre at every new fad language that comes out, or you can learn one language, and learn it well.

As for me, I'm primarily a PHP man, but I do like Ruby as well. Of course my opinion doesn't matter, it's about what works best for you as a team :)

Perhaps I'm missing something, but rather than actually being a new language, this seems to be a simple and direct transliteration of English into a different encoding.

Am I missing something?

PS: I should add that I've up-voted this because it is interesting, just not really a new language.

thats all the apple fanboys have, instead of this thread talking about all the amazing new features and improvements, its a bunch of hivemind people trying to convince themselves that Android isn't awesome. I'm sorry but I must of been oblivious the lag as well as the other Android users. Most people want cheap phones and/or cheap plans, a very high quality os, that make calls, send text, surf web, and maybe do some apps. A lack of an animation or a non existent lag or even a higher resolution icon , makes no difference to most people.
You can go one step further and start giving things like color meaning. (example: http://www.colorforth.com/ide.html written with colorForth http://www.colorforth.com/cf.htm ) Of course, alternatives should exist for someone to write on a US-keyboard in any editor.

Although I agree with the basic principle that if you don't like what Facebook does, the best course of action is to not use Facebook, the argument that, in essence, a private company is free to do whatever it wants is absurd.

What Facebook is doing is illegal in the EU (or at least, its legality is in dispute).

Whether or not you agree with those regulations or think they are absurd is another matter entirely, and quite irrelevant, since you don't make the laws and can't even vote for the people who make them (because you're from a different part of the world).
What matters is that they have the option of using it. They may not do so today, but tomorrow is a brand new day.
I can't envisage it being released before the first ICS phones hit the market (for relatively obvious reasons), and can easily imagine it taking at least a month from then.

Should give you some basic ideas. For the logo or other important stuff, maybe hire someone to do it.

I think what's really difficult is developing an internal feedback loop so that you can critique your own work, and thus improve it. I simply don't have the sense that some poeple do, for instance, that one design is 'good' and another isn't.
Yep.

If you're not shipping physical products within a day or two of accepting the money, and shipping them via a service which allows you/your customer/paypal to track the deliveries, then you're in the category who should expect Paypal to decide to hang on to any money put into your account.

Surely anybody who's got access to Google can find that out before getting caught out by it?
(Addendum: Several people pointed out a handy shortcut for japanese feature-phones to access your phonebook: pressing down). This was not immediately obvious to me because the phone I'm looking at has its down button marked "." and its up button marked with a little icon depicting an open book. While I'm embarassed to have not discovered this shortcut, I think it only adds to my general point that a button labelled simply "." was supposed to suggest "phone book" while the "open book" icon leads to an endless labyrinth of options, none of which is just to look at your phone book.
The problem is that most people haven't seen the product. I asked for an invite the day they opened them and still haven't gotten one. It has taken them that long that I won't be using it now. Facebook's timeline is great and Google+ is also a good network.
> Yes. Usually, you cannot build a database (digital or paper) about people without their permission, and without allowing people to get access to their records, and allowing them to get their records deleted.

In Finland you also have to have a public "registry declaration" available that tells what data you gather and what you do with it. Though quite a lot of websites violate that law due to laziness.

If Android Keeps going this way I might do more Android Development in the future, IMO by version 5, android will have an mature API - not that now it doesn't this is jut my opinion. As an Apple fan boy is nice to see that iOS is getting some healthy competition - in the end both platforms will win if the competition is High.

My Context:
I only did iOS development and a little Android. I love apple technology because works so well and is so well integrated mainly with their products.

> naturally there's more support of PHP in terms of libraries, support, etc.

I don't think that's true. I have been part of both the ecosystems, and Python has equal (if not better) support in terms of libraries.
Not to rain on your parade here, but eighty percent accuracy would require every sixth keypress to be backspace. Likely promoting it to the most pressed key.

Obviously, auto-correct mitigates this somewhat but for the amount of frustration and lost time, I'm betting it's probably worthwhile just purchasing a new keyboard.
Gosh! That is incredible!

I was genuinely expecting a detailed breakdown of the lenses and hardware. Instead what we got was a comparison of images from each camera. And an ad for a camera app.
This was my initial reaction but it appears 3G has fixed focus and thus is so much inferior to 3GS in the first pic.
I hypothesize that part of the reason a full REST(w/HATEOAS) isn't popular (maybe "popular" isn't the right word here. maybe "pervasive"?) is the increase in work to move from a Type-I to a REST interface [1]. This is not insignificant in terms of up front costs. Longer term being more restful might indeed ease refactoring and versioning, but by then you may have more help working on the api (after growth). In addition then is of course down the road and things fall by the wayside.

When I try to think of some of the nicest APIs I have actually used, I don't recall them being 100% REST compliant.

I am still not sold on putting versioning in the headers. Url based versioning has the benefit that the version being used is readily apparent (visible), as well as easing scalability due to the ability of frontend proxies to route based on url partials. The pragmatist in me says url versions are 'ok'. Maybe not the best, but as a trade-off "good enough" if it makes implementing them easier.

As far as I can see, there is not much risk involved in asking Facebook/Google/Dropbox/Yahoo/Microsoft/Whatever to give you "your" data, as per European law. Then look at it and see what is wrong with it. Then file a complaint.

What can they do? It's the law.

Then make the thing public, disclose all your communication with your target, post the story to Hacker News and Reddit, maybe even get picked up by some important blogger or newspaper. Would look good on your resume to fight Google, wouldn't it?

Isn't Apple proof enough that simply hitting the bullet points is not enough? Or Sony (with the PlayStation, which got thoroughly trounced by a machine bearing inferior specs across the board)?

People love polish, they love attention to detail, they love absolute frictionless products. Apple has priced themselves out of the low end (the 3GS' performance is a joke compared to the Android phones at that price point), so Android is largely dominating that segment.

But make no mistake about it - Apple owns the high-end smartphone market because their product has all of those things you just blithely dismissed.

Most people want a cheap car that gets good mileage. The lack of heated seats, automatic wipers, and a V8 under the hood makes no difference to most people. But yet, we know that the dynamics of the automotive market can't be hand-waved away so easily - why do it to the smartphone/consumer electronics market?

To Facebook's benefit, of course. I'm sure that Facebook would never think of using any user data flagged as 'deleted' in any sort of data mining...

Facebook also has no incentive to spend the time to figure how to do deletions because the data is valuable to them. Why would they spent time and effort to make it possible to lose this valuable data?
Yeah, right. You forget: That is easy in college, but actually much more difficult later in life when all your friends have jobs and family. In other words, works in some way as a nicely worded age discrimination. Not that it affects me, but getting older makes you more sensitive for these things ;)
That's a bit of a rude way to start a response.

First, PayPal had zero verified information about the identity of the account holder at the point the account got frozen. The information Diaspora sent happened after PayPal requested it when their huge increase in incoming funds triggered the account review. That was posted just yesterday, PayPal probably hasn't even had a chance to look at whatever they sent yet.

Second, this same comment was already made and responded to an hour ago.

What MS lacks is the complete package. The OS is great, it's incredibly snappy and responsive - much moreso than Android, and the only player that can give iOS a run for its performance money.

But so far all the hardware we've seen out of MS's camp has been me-too almost-clones of existing Android devices. None of the hardware have contained any features or industry design that would really make it desireable.

MSFT desperately needs a piece of hardware to act as WP7's flagship - something with the build quality and design quality of the iPhone 4. A real piece of art people can hold in their hands - IMO this would be the ticket to MS having a fighting chance in the smartphone wars.

They also desperately need to stop marketing in-house. Microsoft blows at marketing, and everything they do in-house falls flat on its face, and so far everyone they hire from the outside seems to suck equally as much (if not worse. Seinfeld?). Microsoft desperately needs to get its marketing act together.
Big shout out to ffmpeg from Panda.

As far as I know, we are the only ones to give you full access to the command-line options in case you want to do funny stuff. The disadvantage is that we have been stuck with ffmpeg 0.6 on custom commands to not break backward-compatibility (which is what they used).

If they had used the presets, the encoding would have run with the latest ffmpeg which is also a lot faster.

I wouldn't count the need for a good JVM implementation as a plus mark in a Ruby vs Python comparison. Jython is used when you need to interact with Java libs, not because the C implementation of Python language is slower than the JVM one. The same does not apply for Ruby, you use JRuby because it's better than CRuby. If you want to compare speed you'd be up against pypy.
