Who looks best
Who looks best If there is one thing people are interested on, that would be who’s wearing who on the red carpet. Yes. Most of us are looking forward in seeing celebrities wearing which designer outfit. Truly, the fashion world would be nothing without designers. They are the brilliant and creative minds behind the fabulous,...

Best thing you can do is start with small.projects (as you did) and growing incrementaly. During that time you will learn how different circuits work together and problems with more complicated circuits boards will need to be solved one at a time.

Contacting local hardware groups can help.

Basically, same as programing books can take you to some point, but when your project outgrows and become complicated with multiple rarely combinated libraries... you are on your own and, hopefully, you will be ready to take that bite.

Also, being more concrete in explaining your needs could get you more help.
MIT has some partnership programs with Stanford and also host an entrepreneurship competition now where the winner can win money as well. See here: http://mit100k.org/

There's also this: http://www.vlab.org/

As a disclaimer, I'm not associated with MIT and never attended or even been on their campus so I can't say much other than the above. I come from the Stanford side of things. Although I did attend some VLAB events.
I think because "screens" are 2-D and little kids need to learn that things are 3-D. Also, screens don't have texture. Everything on a screen is artificial, which is fine once you understand what it is trying to represent, but not before.

> defective by design, free (as in speech), respect the freedom of its users

Is it just me, or has the free software community gotten so disciplined and precise with their talking points that it would make Karl Rove blush?

It comes down to this: different people want different things. Some people want Kramer's vision of building your own pizza, both for fun and to get exactly the pizza you want. Most people would rather have pizza driven to their house after a 1 minute phone call, and if they lose some freedom over the exact topping placement and the kind of crust used, they're quite fine with that.

Yeah, this was a really boneheaded platform decision, and I'll be very frustrated if Apple doesn't fix it. But you can't seriously tell me that open-source software doesn't sometimes make blunders or suffer from flawed usability. And the idea that I can theoretically crack open the source to my app (the Venn intersection of those with the time, ability, and willingness to do so are a speck, by the way) doesn't help me after the cache is already cleared while I'm sitting on the plane.

I don't care whether something is defective by design, or defective by lack of design: I care that it's defective, period.

The day that technology vendors start engaging in things like free speech suppression or non-consensual privacy invasion is the day I'm willing to think of computing as being a political issue. What we have here is nothing more than tech which you think sucks, and in this instance, you're very right. If it sucks enough, people will stop buying it, and/or the vendor will make it suck it less. But for god's sake, get off the the soapbox and go back to making things; everybody has exactly as much freedom as they want.

tl;dr: FOSS needs to get better at delivering pizzas instead of bitching about Domino's.
Twice this week I thought exactly that. Each time I consoled myself that my lengthy code would be easy to understand even if (marginally I hope) less easy to maintain.
If they compared it to "Minutes spent on cellphone/landline" it wouldn't look quite so impressive.

I did a quick look for some statistics on cellphone/landline usage, but I'd expect it's a few added 0's on the end of Skype usage still.
It looks great! One word of warning is that quite a lot of bugs in each Ubuntu release get fixed in the first month. If you're patient, you can sidestep a lot of stabilisation issues that might not have been found in the RCs.

But in a month's time, this is definitely going on my lappy.

The problem with the expires argument is that you have to set it to a specific date, but I don't think you can be sure what timezone / clock setting the user's browser has - which means that it's pretty much impossible to reliably set a cookie that expires in a couple of seconds time.

Hopefully I'm wrong - I'd love to know if there's a workaround for that issue.
I've thought about similar ssh client for Kindle Keyboard 3G web browser. With 3G you are getting free over the world coverage with no issues with battery. Slow e-ink screens are not a problem for terminal. So you are able to fix problem on your server almost any place in the world.

I've had a hanging issue too. Fixed it by disabling MSE real-time protection (20 hangs per day -> 0). Somehow I don't see MSE causing the hangs on *nix though so perhaps a separate issue. Worth a try though for anyone battling.

I am hoping that Microsoft will roll out a virtual PBX system based on Skype. Where employers will get a separate account for that organization. Advantages of this offering would be,

* Zero setup cost. Architecture is already built. No need for setting up complex telephony system.

* Reliability. No questions about that. It is so much reliable that even news channels like BBC and Aljazeera arrange video conferencing with Skype.

* Security. From the first day Skype was focused on security of their phone calls/connection. It's P2P architecture also leverages that.

* Able to call everywhere. With Skype you can make phone call to major countries. They have contracts with telcos in many countries.

* Cross platform. Skype is available for windows,linux,OSX, Android, iPhone, Symbian. I mean virtually every platform. It is a great advantage.

Also it is a very good brand name known to everyone. Overall I think Skype is a great purchase deal for Microsoft.
1. A reverse proxy will usually be faster since it doesn't have to execute an "code" (even a cut-down framework).

2. Some sites will be "read-only" and your really can serve everyone with exactly the same content.

3. Legacy codebase/programmers may not be able to use more scalable techniques so a reverse proxy is the best solution.
That would mean they'd have to get rid of Office Communicator (the professional version of Windows Live Messenger) to make room for Skype.

Ask HN: NodeJS for large scale projects
We are planning large scale and quite complex project with possible 500k or more users(Well u never know) and considering between two development options Python with Pyramid or NodeJS. So my question would be.. Would you call me mad to take NodeJS for this kind of project?
They will soon enough. If you start any substantial project now, by the time you finish WebGL will be available on most high-end phones, at least on Android.

Btw. the Nokia N900 has had WebGL support for a year or so. Too bad it's not a very popular model.

Yes, I stood in line for nearly 10 hours in Los Angeles on June 29th, 2007, to get a first generation iPhone.
Yes, we previously used template caching because it was built into Symfony1 (an MVC PHP framework). Symfony2 now leaves caching to the HTTP Standard, plus integrates Akamai's ESI. Symfony specifically recommends Varnish for live projects.

Memcache certainly has its place, but for me, Varnish is a plug-n-play solution that doesn't require code changes. Even with ESI, if you've already set HTTP Cache, you just need to set s-maxage per component. That's it. Then of course there's all the Varnish load balancing features that I haven't used.

If my site didn't use logins, I'd definitely just go for Nginx + fastcgi_cache. People argue that Apache can do the same with the right tuning. But there's something to be said for a 5 minute VPS build by a complete novice that can serve 20,000 requests per second using about 10 lines of config code.

I think this all becomes much more complicated for seriously large websites. That's where memcache/redis et al. join the party, potentially with Varnish.

> I love nginx, don't get me wrong, but paste in snippets from two different blog posts and watch the sparks fly

This week where I work I have witnessed much the same with Apache2.

The problem: They have a new Wordpress install, want to redirect an existing site path to Wordpress, and want to ensure that the performance rivals that of the existing site.

Before I could get them to just change the Netscaler rules and add a simple Wordpress add-on that creates static files from dynamic, they had cargo-culted their way to a glorious solution that involved leaving all of the routing in place but reconfiguring Apache using mod_proxy, mod_rewrite, and proxyhtmlurlmap such that requests for static items get munged through the static web server, sent off to the Wordpress server, re-written on the way back, and then served up in-place of the existing file.

They literally have an Apache conf that is the sum of 5 different blogs. And they don't understand how it works, and how it is in other ways broken (they can't login to wp-admin anymore, but hey... it's OK, they can copy the Wordpress database from staging).

This has also taken them 2 weeks to achieve.

When asked why they didn't just change the routing rules, add Varnish and configure Wordpress to know what domain it's on (so they don't have to rewrite anything), they simply shrugged and explained that it's working now.

PS: If anyone wants a technical co-founder in London, or an Architect/CTO level person who can hire good people and build good teams. Please speak to me. I'm not sure I can take the madness of working for other people much longer.

Want to Replace Your Ford Brake Pads? Here is your deal 
It is essential to check for brake pads while cleaning your Ford car at the weekend and inspecting the brake system. If the thickness of Ford brake pad decreases by 1/8th inch or more, replacement of old brake pads with the newer one becomes necessary.
What about offline web apps which are saved onto the home screen? Are they also "cleaned"? If we can't depend upon an offline web app to be there when offline then that would fundamentally defeat the purpose.

Of course, one could argue that the cleaning behaviour fundamentally defeats the purpose of a lot of apps, as already covered above (Instapaper, Offline Maps, etc.).

Evolution of Cooperation, by Nowak
"What will I eat and where will I sleep during the 4-week Bootcamp program?

We give an allowance of $2,000 per team member for the 4 weeks of the program (up to $6,000 total per team). This is enough money to find a nice apartment and eat plenty of food (not only ramen). We also have plenty of free coffee."

Although for the bigger program, there seems to be no money involved.

It's long, so some choice quotes:

"So you've got to always cooperate by random drift. But if we'd always cooperate, now we can guess what happens next: we invite Always defect. You have oscillations here, you have a mathematical model of human history, of economic cycles, of ups and downs."

"There is one thing that I have learned in my studies of cooperation over the last 20 years: there is no equilibrium. There is never a stable equilibrium."

"In an experimental study, people go up and down in trains in Britain and listen to what people are talking about, to find that about 60 percent of the conversation topics fit into this general framework of indirect reciprocity."

"What is very important for efficient indirect reciprocity is language. Indirect reciprocity leads to the evolution of social intelligence and human language. In order to evaluate the situation, you have to understand who does what to whom and why. And we have to have a way to talk about what happened, to gain experience from others."

"As my friend David Haig at Harvard put it very nicely, "For direct reciprocity you need a face; for Indirect reciprocity you need a name."

"If too many others imitate it, it starts to become a losing strategy."

In his system you neither partition would have written "5" or "6". Rather, the one on the left would have written a "+1", and the one on the right would have written a "+1", and you can tell whether these are the same "+1" or not. You only combine them when you do the query.
I don't think they're dictating what you build (work for hire) nor asking for any ownership stake in it (taking investment). They're just letting you show up with your own project and offering free consultations and enough for room and board, and all they get out of it is warm fuzzies and the same open source license you're giving everyone else.

As a former PR professional, I can tell you that publicity can be bought. Good publicity however, can't. A post on TechCrunch/Mashable/Wired/whatever is infinitely more valuable than a facebook ad alone. Having said that, you should develop a strategy that involves both paid and free publicity. If you set up a guerilla marketing campaign, an advertising campaign and a free publicity campaign they will fortify each other. Someone sees your facebook ad, and a litte while later reads an article about your startup on TechCrunch. A few days later he sees your brilliant guerrilla marketing thing, hears from other people that they've signed up and signs up himself.

There is no single way of getting publicity, no silver bullet. It's a snowball effect, several small pebbles thrown in the right spot at the right time will cause an avalanche.

And yes, you should post on HN first.
Once upon a time, downvotes tended to stop at 0 or -1 for things that were perhaps just mistaken or misguided rather than outright mean/trolls/antisocial.
Incidentally, can anyone else believe that the American airlines let these unions happen to them? They can't even promote employees for good performance anymore; there is only one criteria that employees are evaluated on, and that's time in that job at that airline. Change jobs and you're back at the bottom. Change airlines, and you're at the bottom.

The end result is that the flight attendants that choose the "best" routes (longhaul international) are the ones that care least about their job: they're at the top and they don't need to do a good job to stay there. Ironically, that's where the money is spent, and the people spending that money therefore get worse service. It's no surprise that anyone who pays for their own flights chooses the Asian or European airlines.

(My experience flying international first class on AA is that it's barely worth the taxes on the free flight. OTOH, when my company paid $10,000 for a flight to Singapore on Cathay Pacific, it was worth every penny.)
Indeed, it's not quite "beating". "How to get full availability and eventual consistency (the best you can do under CAP) with no effort in the application layer" might have been a truer title. Nevertheless, this is something useful.

The only effective safety mechanism for C code is size. You must treat everything you write in C as though it's a tiny standalone library, and then build your application from those libraries. "Frameworks" do not work here. (Unless, that is, you're going to go insane and implement a refcounting gc and double-indirection pointers, like C++ programmers do. That works, but at that point, you've lost all speed and simplicity benefits and you might as well just use your favorite Java substitute instead. Remember: you write C because you want other stuff to use it. When you implement your own memory model and semantics, you lose that. And then you have if statements, integers, goto, and segfaults.)
Care. I recommend "Programming Pearls" as a good introduction to this concept.

I'd think that was mostly an issue of company policy than punishing the guy for showing it specifically to Woz. In other words, if they found out that he'd shown it to his cab driver, or the guy who made his coffee the next morning, he'd probably be in just as much trouble.

By the way, that cultofmac link gets stuck in a redirect loop. Woz contributed a piece about it to gizmodo though: http://gizmodo.com/5523673/steve-wozniak-on-apple-security-e...

I've been using Git for version control for all of my own personal projects as a sole developer. I've heard that Mercurial and Git are very similar, and your reasoning for choosing Mercurial is very similar to my own choice of Git :-)

I, too, thought about using git and github to host my code, but then found that github is free for open-source projects only and the generally accepted notion looked like git was more powerful but required more time to learn. This also lead to me try out Mercurial.

And the tutorials at http://www.hginit.com really made it look easy to get into.

As far as disciplining yourself to continually check into version control, maybe I'm too paranoid, but I used to always find myself creating copies of files before making big changes to them, just to be safe, or commenting out code instead of deleting it, because I might need to reference it again.

This is exactly I am (almost) right now. My code has a lot of previous code I've just commented instead of deleting, just because I thought I might need them again, or the new code wont work. Like, when I'm trying to do the same thing using more optimized solution. I guess using version control helps me get out of this habit. :)

Thanks for your reply. :)
