HTMLEditor AJAx Control- How to Use in your Web Application
Maybe I'm missing something, but I don't see anything in the linked post about "meeting quotas".

Can we please avoid making headlines unnecessarily hysterical?
I certainly don't think it's "deliberate" in the sense that they would ever want to exclude Apps users, but I think it's deliberate in the sense that they saw fixing the Apps problem as a much lower priority, perhaps because they know there's a high degree of vendor lock-in for us (it's not like I'm going to move to a Microsoft offering). From their point of view it could be a totally rational business decision, given finite resources, but it's still shafting your most loyal customers.

IPhone Application Development - Native and Web Applications
Why do 64-bit applications work faster than 32-bit ones?
Rewrite iOS? Huh? Anyone who builds a modern OS tied to a single architecture needs their head examined.

We already know Apple isn't that stupid, for two reasons:

1) OS X ran on both PowerPC and x86 from the moment it was born. They know how to plan ahead.

2) That "emulator" in Xcode isn't an emulator --it's running native x86 code, that's why it's so fast and why you have to build specifically for it. Most of what constitutes iOS runs as native x86 code every time a developer uses the "emulator".

I don't believe for a nanosecond that iOS boots in full only on ARM. Not a chance.

Ask HN: What can hackers do to advance #ows

Ouch! (regarding getting fsck-ed with command line options)

Before current job I built a fairly large more general media management system which included tons of video related work (and encoding ;) ) using ffmpeg for some fairly prominent (something something geographic something / etc) so I definitely appreciate how powerfully awesome ffmpeg is once you get over the initial overwhelming hump of having to learn all the more general video concepts involved outside of ffmpeg.

Which is why seeing a "performance comparison" blog post was immediately extremely suspicious sounding for the very valid point that everyone has brought up that speed isn't all that matters. From my experience speed is one of the lowest concerns anyone doing anything professionally with video has. Quality / reliability / tweak-ability are all much more important.

If you're writing software you intend to sell for money for anything other than cat videos uploaded to youtube - do yourself a favor and make sure you're informed about all the core concepts before randomly picking someone. You'd be surprised at all the hiccups and encoding issues you run across once you have a large enough sample set of "problem videos" to test against.
Loved it. I found most exercises and problems easy to do and most importantly it was fun. Looking forward to more lessons, exercise and problems.

The last third of Yegge's essay (I just read it) could be substantially cut, IMO. It's mostly restatements of earlier material.

Here's the basic structure:

1. "I worked at Amazon, they introduced company-wide platforms. Microsoft and Facebook have these too."

2. "Now I work at Google. We have no such platform."

3. "Platforms are awesome and we should have one."

aaaaaaand the rest is details.

Can User Initiated Group Buying Work? Sam Altman thinks so.
I recently co-founded a startup called Grosper.com. The basic idea is that instead of building up a huge salesforce, why not let users initiate deals? This has been done by Loopt with their U-Deals product however, dont know how their doing though.<p>My startup calls it Make A Demand, and you're only allowed to do it for Real Estate and Travel.<p>But is there a genuine market here? Building owner are willing to give 20% discounts if three people decide to rent at the same time, that's pretty good.<p>But how would you co-ordinate the process? How would you make it simple? Easy? How would make the Dropbox of group buying so that's its not confusing?<p>Any thoughts?
I think that referred to this bit:

"By coincidence, Frontline this week is broadcasting a feature, ‘Lost in Detention’, outlining the increasingly aggressive measures to deport immigrants. The key clip begins at the 17-minute mark outlining the arbitrary goal of 400,000 deportations, including “Non-criminal removals”. "

Review my startup: BoxRockit - a simple way to sell on Twitter
We decided to put together an MVP of an idea we had about selling digital products on Twitter and hopefully other social networks. We launched it 3 days ago.

It's a simple product that allows you to sell your digital products on Twitter.

Traffic to the site has been quite intense, but conversions are somewhat low and the bounce rate is higher than it should be.

We definitely think that there is a market for it, but we'd love to hear thoughts & suggestions from our favorite community :)

The coffeeshop fallacy
Not wishing to be rude to any of the participants, but what were you expecting? You have seen television, right? If you're clever enough to run a startup then the editing tricks and other manipulation should be pretty transparant.

Hopefully lessons have been learned.

As a kid I always wanted to go to the USA, maybe even live there. So many things to see, the business opportunities and the propagated freedom were very attractive.

During the last decade though, the USA have done a fantastic job of eradicating every bit of what was left of this dream.
Nowerdays all you hear from them is how Hollywood is destroying little guys' lifes for downloading a bunch of songs, exporting those policies with force to other countries, insane financial schemes and starting several wars.

Right now I am planning a trip to Japan. A country, which was hit by a nuclear meltdown crisis, floods, earthquakes and more. I'd still choose it over going to the USA any day. Maybe that's something to think about.

The USA are going down fast and it doesn't look like there are changes in sight in regards to their handling of immigrants, the wars or the rampand self-made economic problems.

And that is a shame.

I wrote a quick script to do port testing with the server.

This script should work with any system that has curl with some little modifications, but I've only tested it in fedora 15.
You can find it from codepad and the script will run over all ports if the port range has not been specified.

The first terminal argument will be the range start and second argument will be the range end.
For example: php port_test.php 1 24
will run the test on ports 1-24

A Groupon IPO is one of the worst things that could happen to the industry, at any price.

It's reminiscent of the .com crash and it gives me serious doubts about the rationality of the current tech market.

Let's sell stuff at a discount so large that the merchants lose money but we make money is not a sustainable business model, it's a predatory strategy. How on earth could you offer stock in a venture like that to the public with a clean conscience?

Sooner or later you run out of merchants, it only works for goods that have such a huge profit margin that you can actually afford that. And I rarely see Groupon deals that suggest that they're still profitable for the merchants. Why merchants do Groupon deals is a mystery to me, maybe someone that has done a Groupon deal as a merchant can shed some light on the economic returns for them.

Maybe they're out-of-band in recurring visitors or something like that but I simply don't get it. Or maybe there is something crucial about how Groupon operates that I'm missing, in that case enlighten me please.

How to Watermark Your Digital Art and Photography in Photoshop

Having your phone always on and always connected is a very similar transition as when going from dialup to broadband. No more "I'll look it up on my computer when I get home", instead you can just look it up right now, anywhere.
FXCC Blog Updated: Market Commentary - October 19 pm
Pardon the (perhaps very silly) question, but... if you have enough RAM for the ramdisk, isn't that enough RAM to cache all the relevant files anyway? So the file open()/read() would not hit HDD itself time and time again; they'd be served (by the OS) from cache?

Of course, cache warm-up would remain a possible problem source.

What does a Non-criminal removal mean? Like who would be in that category? Just people who's visa expired?
You can't argue that Amazon is kicking their asses in regards to AWS versus Google's App Engine. The lame joke I'm seeing here is GAE.

And I think Yegge has a good point - Facebook IS different for each individual because everybody has their own preferences in regards to how they use it and that's because while Google was making lame experiments with Buzz forcing Gmail users to use it, Facebook was busy becoming a platform.

And Android is popular not because it's a better / more polished product than iOS. It isn't, not by a long shot. Instead Android is a better platform.

Personally I loved Steve's rant and he nailed it.

ARM unveils Cortex-A7 processor, 'big.LITTLE' computing
Something I've always wanted but haven't got round to creating is a command that would convert from camel case to pascal case to uppercase with underscores.

It would be awesome if you were able to yank text in one case and it would paste in a different case if it was being pasted on top of exiting text.

for example if you had the code:
#define USER_NAME_LEN
const int userNameId;
class UserName {
};

if you did a search and replace for userName to replace with clientName it would update all cases correctly.
Case summary here: http://www.ca3.uscourts.gov/opinarch/104369np.pdf

It seems clear to me that at this point he is an economic migrant, rather than a refugee; and as that was the basis of his initial plea to stay (i.e. he was seeking asylum from persecution), the generally brutal machinery of bureaucracy is ejecting him from the country. (Apparently, credible death threats don't constitute sufficient grounds for asylum. But I don't think he is credibly at risk, even of that.)

It's very harsh on him and his wife, uprooting them from their community, etc., but on the other hand he ought to have little difficulty finding work and living anywhere he chooses in the EU.

Frankly, I don't think the US deserves him.

They don't really need your real name for a warrant to be effective at identifying you. I don't think that the real name requirement makes any difference to law enforcement.
That's probably their way of cat-playing with their food.

Also, they probably remember how microsoft was forced to carry a load of different browsers in EU and make WMP-free windows, so they take some steps to prevent that for themselves.

EFF: “We are generally satisfied with the privacy design of Silk”
Well, that is not strictly true, a company can perfectly legally say it would not rehire you, and the next company will read between the lines. Good luck trying to sue - if word got out that you did, you really would become unhireable.

In the U.S., no. Blackballing law is extremely friendly to the employee. And no, you don't sue over a bad reference. You have your attorney send a C&D letter and they fall back to the "default" reference: name, dates of employment.

Generally, you never need to sue over a bad reference. The best response to a bad reference is to replace him, ideally with someone who worked with you at the company and can vouch that, yes, you actually did good work.

Also, hiding gaps on the CV is a major red flag.

I didn't tell him to hide gaps. I told him to put his years of employment (not months) on his CV, e.g. 2009-2010 instead of Nov. 2009 to Jan. 2010. He may still have to put the dates on the formal application that comes later in the hiring process, but after you've had an interview, CV smells don't matter as much.

It would be grounds for instant dismissal, it's as bad as pretending to have a qualification you don't.

You cannot be serious. Omitting two months at a startup that didn't work out is not the moral equivalent of a quack surgeon pretending to have a medical degree. That said, from a strategic perspective, omitting a job of even 2 months is almost never a good idea because a gap is more damaging that a bad job (which can always be spun). (If it's less than 2 months, omit it; you didn't really work there.)

Non-criminal removal is for people who are being deported after an appeals process. Basically they petitioned for a change of visa status which was denied and eventually all their appeals were turned down.
Key is that because they were following the legal appeal channel, they were at no point in the country illegally.
This. Don't ask me to make process improvements when you are expecting me to be billable 115% of the time.

Fortunately, my group typically allows for 10%-20% of my time to be used for either training (learning new tech/languages) or process improvements (mostly internal tools). Other groups at the company don't have it so lucky, and those are the groups that desperately need improvements.
I rather think this is written to be provocative rather than creating a discussion. The writer speaks as if these things have been around since the beginning of time, but in fact we're only a few years down the line.

It's too early to tell what will happen, or what is possible on a smart "device" of any kind. I can see myself using Siri with Xcode on the iPhone in the not too distant future, if you permit me to let my mind wander. Then it would be useful, in the writer's context.

Google is a large company. I'm sure Brin didn't personally hire Yegge and didn't do it for the sole purpose of his inputs on platforms.
