Speaking as someone who's been around a few decades... Oh look, yet another way to create graphical games! I'll just add that to the list, near the end. It's a long list. :)

Purty looking, but color me not impressed. I already can sense what the constraints will be, and they aren't good. And I've gained really nothing new I couldn't already do before.
I've been developing full-time on my iPad for over a month now and am surprised at how pleasurable it is.

My MBP just rips DVDs and gathers dust these days.
It has been known to happen more often than I care to admit. :)

The best way to do it is to get yourself in strict working "mode". Check e-mail twice a day only - in the morning and afternoon. Read HN and everything else just in the morning or in the afternoon.

It is all about concentrating on what matters.

Another trick I find useful is to have two browsers. I use Chrome for everything and I use Firefox just for work. So if I want to check analysis, statistics or answer work related emails I use Firefox. In firefox my bookmarks are only for work related things.

Pagodabox bumps up the version number - Heroku for PHP
So do nearly all modern languages. No advantage.

Didn't you read my last sentence?

When ever I hear people sing the praises of perl it just always make me think most haven't really sat down and learn many other languages.

Obviously not true.. But I agree most people probably know one language better than the rest, and I also think that when people praise language X ;)

(oh, and for what it's worth, I think i started with both python & ruby before perl)

Leaving a hot startup after 6 months - stupid idea?
I graduated at the top of my class from a top CS school this May. Right after graduating I started working at a really hot startup.

I hate work, even though things couldn't be going better for the company. A big part of me wants to quit. (I'd join another startup or a big tech company)

Is this a stupid thing to do?

Reasons I want to leave:
- I'm not gelling with the founder. I hardly ever dislike people, but I just don't get along with the founder. (I work directly with the founder)

- I'm not sold on our product. Everyone else on the team seems to see magic in what we're building, I don't.

- The standard workweek at the company is 90+ hours. That's more than I'd prefer.

- The work isn't technically challenging.

Reasons I want to stay:
+ My co-workers are crazy awesome. We get along great, and I have utmost respect for how smart everyone else is.

+ I don't want to be a quitter. I feel like I signed up for something, and I don't like what I think leaving says about me.

+ The startup will probably do really well (mostly because everyone else in the market is so bad).

+ The startup is very well connected. Staying part of the company's network will probably be beneficial to me.

Uh, it's the truth? No matter how beautiful, it will probably be removed from the app store and the development effort will have been wasted.
> is zero-friction undo even a good idea?

Yes. It's the major missing feature for git. Novices spend more time figuring out how to undo their mistakes than anything else.

If the undo has side effects (i.e. "if someone cloned this branch since you did the action you want to undo, stuff will break"), the tool should display that warning and ask to continue.

Undo on local working branches only would already be a big help.
I was coming in here to ask what Gitbox has over the Github no-cost alternative, but found out about GitX. When did GitX get a native GUI!?

I've used GitX in the past but mostly as a crutch when the terminal client confused me (or when I needed pretty pictures.); It's X11 foundation always turned me off on the Mac. However, the latest GitX looks really good and might even turn me from my terminal ways. :)

I think they allow you to write your app in different programming languages now. But I can't imagine that they allow you to execute downloadable scripts, which would make it possible to circumvent the app store.
Thanks. Mostly I take photos with my phone, and those are synchronized with the cloud, so my images are already in the internet and I would not have to download and re-upload those again.
You are talking to the wrong people. You need to be discussing exactly what you've just said here with your boss / founder.

Explain the good parts and the bad parts. Ask for guidance and explain you are new to all this.
No. Just be honest.
Study Shows Why It’s Hard to Keep Weight Off
The license terms were indeed relaxed last year. Quite a few apps use scripting languages generally, and Lua specifically, including a little game you may have heard of named Angry Birds.
I just got my CA license last week. The whole procedure, from showing up to leaving, took less than 1 hour. Maybe the claremont office in oakland is somehow different than others.
Hm, maybe if you are so poor, you should consider buying a 300$ netbook rather than an 500$ iPad? At least if you are interested in programming.
> Empirical evidence suggest a reduction of work hours will NOT increase employment. See when France went from 39 hour workweeks to 35.

There is much to be said about the legal work week in France. It has been badly misrepresented again and again.

In most industries, the reduction of work hours was more than compensated by "annualization". That means that you must do 35 hours a week, not every week but as a mean value along the whole year. What's the result? Where people used to work 39 hours all year long, even when the activity was in a low cycle, an work paid overtime when activity was high, they now work 30 hours a week at times and up to 48 hours a week at other times, always paid the standard wage all year long.

Furthermore, even the definition of "work hour" changed. For instance, in some industries people are now allowed to take a piss only 2 times a day instead of 4. In "sales" (actually, supermarket cashiers mostly), people are now "working" only while they're actually on duty (they used to be "working" while present on the premises); so they may be given "free time" for up to two or three hours during the day (there aren't many customers in shops for hours during the week), though they often have no other choice but wait at the workplace or the immediate vicinity because they haven't got time or resource to do anything else.

So actually for a large part of the economy, going from 39 to 35 hours was quite a big improvement of productivity. What is usually represented abroad as a scandalous, quasi communist change was actually a boon for the "great capital". Further "adjustments" made to the system in the past 12 years by right wing governments have achieved the picture; though they still love to bad mouth "the 35 hours" (lazy leftists! profiteering socialists!), getting rid of the many "progresses" induced by this system is absolutely out of the question.

This is, by the way, perfectly in line with the habit to ditch French (now dead) retirement law: "Lazy French retire at 60! Courageous Germans retire at 67!", while the truth is that French retire at 62.5 years, and German 62.7...

> But 77% of the US economy is services.

Many of these services don't always make sense economically. Is it for the best that so many Americans eat out almost every day? Sure, that creates demand for a lot of low wage jobs, then what?

This sort of short-sighted insistence on GDP growth (more business! more jobs!) is toxic in the long term. Some of the basics tenets seriously need to be revised.

No, it's no the truth. From what I understand they just won't allow apps to execute assets downloaded from somewhere else. As long as there is no sharing of code it should be fine (yeah, that's a shame).
> Weak analysis. The first point doesn't make sense.

Not at all. You just didn't get it at first glance.

The email list itself isn't public, but by its very nature, use of Groupon is. Anyone who wants to market to those customers can just email marketing@groupon's.customer.com and find a qualified and interested customer - just itching to save more money. Groupon's chunk is HUGE for what they provide.

> consumers go where deals are, businesses go where consumers are

It's not that anyone goes, that's so bricks and mortar it's funny. Nobody (who likes coupons) is put out by reading another page or another email. They seek this stuff out. It's what they do. And businesses don't need to "go" anywhere either. They simply file exactly the same coupon on two sites, like a person selling a couch on craigslist and kijiji.

As for their gross, wake me when they've got a net that isn't an accounting error. They're approximately 13 billion years from earning that $11 billion market cap if you're speaking actual money, that they have to make. And that's before anyone investing will see a nickel of profit.

I too though, suspect that number will go up wildly.

Which of course will pay the initial investors a ton of money, driving the value higher as all the late-to-the-party investors jump in hoping for their piece. It should sustain a round or two of this. The good ones do.
The largest and most interesting article (70 pages) about static code analysis
Of all the types of advertisement, only few of them are good for advertising programmer tools. Media advertising (television, radio, popular scientific issues) is too expensive (because you have to pay for presenting your ad to a potentially large audience or readership) and often misses the target (because there are very few programmers out of audience/readership). Advertising on specialized sites is often as inefficient, since, first, programmers instinctively skip ads and, second, they are aware of AdBlock. Another way is to make video guides on handling a program, but far not all the programs look bright and colorful to be interesting to watch videos about. Hence, it seems that the only way to tell the whole world about your product is to honestly and impartially show its good points by real examples.<p>Our task, while promoting the PVS-Studio code analyzer for C/C++/C++11, is to find software errors in well-known open source projects and describe them in our articles. By now we have collected a huge number of software errors detected in the coolest software projects. We found errors in Apache, Chromium, Clang, Miranda IM, Qt, TortoiseSVN, WinMerge and many others. We have gathered the most interesting errors in one place to make the largest advertisement article in the world.<p>The whole article consists of 70 pages, but only 10 of them are devoted to description of the static code analysis technology and our tool PVS-Studio. The rest 60 pages contain examples of errors (i.e. program code samples) with our comments. Any programmer, who at least has managed to look through it all, will get absolutely sure that the tool is worthy, and want to study it closely - because it is not praises of marketers that you will find in the article, but just samples of detected software errors which, as some believe, true programmers cannot make.<p>We understand that it's not an accepted practice to write an advertisement article of 70 pages, 85% of which are occupied by code samples and discussion of them. That's why we have managed to create THE MOST ORIGINAL AD OF A PROGRAMMER TOOL. Read the article about errors found by PVS-Studio and be terrified by finding out what errors there may be in the coolest software projects.<p>Read the largest article: http://www.viva64.com/en/a/0077/

I mostly agree with your point, but I want to ask a question: if you had the power to kill about 50,000 people of your choice, at the times you wanted, without any repercussions on you personally, do you think you could use this power to effect a much better world than we currently live in? Major choices that have huge consequences are increasingly being made by individuals, major choices that affect a lot of people for the better or worse. Remember Petrov Day.

The annoying background pattern hurts my eyes and immediately made me not wanting to read any further.

Luckily, the "Table of Contents" points to a normal, readable page with a plain white background.

However, I wonder how many other potential readers are turned off by the main page so much that they don't click the "Table of Contents" link.
No, you've completely misunderstood my post. I was saying "I have to do all the effort to install perl and then I still have to do more work to actually write a program". We then took a detour where it was claimed there is no effort involved in installing perl. Well, sometimes there is. There is with other languages too, but at least once I have them installed I can just use them without having to go read about about current use statements I should be using.

Short of buying a semiconductor fab and replacing every access point and wlan chipset on earth, there is not a lot Stallman can do to prevent this problem. (Even then, the FCC does not care for radios that can be modified by their users. So this is why he has to advocate for Free Software: it's already illegal in some applications.)

You know, I recently rode my bike through some villages in Germany. Just about every house had solar panels on their roof. My parents have solar panels on their roof. They produce more electricity than they use and only need very little oil and some wood for heating in winter. And they are no exception.

Germany currently produces 20% of its energy using regenerating resources (water, sun, wind).

It's not like you have to put all the solar panels in huge parks. Just put them on roofs. My uncle works at a big company and they just put solar panels on their roofs. That company now produces more energy than they need. Solar panels are already efficient enough to usually provide more energy per area than people or businesses consume in the same area.

The next step would be to have batteries in every household, to save on energy losses during 'transportation'. Also, solar panels are getting more efficient and cheap every year.

In addition to direct support, there are several other things you can do. If you're going to buy from Amazon, you can use their affiliate link. Or if you're going to buy a book from No Starch Press, they have a coupon code to use: ISUPPORTEFF (side note: they also read HN).

I am saying since there is no welfare, and she needs money, she might be going through a job which doesn't pay enough.

I don't know how does the minimum wage calculation work, and it might be more than 800 INR for about half an hour of work(+/- 10 minutes - most of the days I don't cook, so no dishes. Sometimes I use almost every dish in my house) per day.

But consider the minimum wage were much higher and enforced say 5000 INR. I don't need her - I don't cook very often and I can clean the house once in a while. In that case, she would lose the job she has now, and would be eligible for welfare. Depending on the amount, she might be better off with this scenario.

This is all hypothetical though. She does multiple jobs, and works for me because it's convenient for her. She gets some cash for light weight work. That spares her time for her own home and other jobs. A minimum wage and welfare system might result in a scenario where she makes slightly more than she does now, but might prove more demanding in terms of time spent and labor.

Their specific mailing list isn't public, but the list of their customers is, inherently, and anyone can call and ask for the person in charge of coupons. And it's not an either-or thing, so it's a trivial sale.

Businesses will offer better deals through companies that cost less to use. Groupon's cut limits how good the deal can be for the customer, and is money that could be spent on more effective targeted advertising.

Groupon is actually harder to use than traditional coupons, for business and consumer. With traditional coupons you take it in, or print it, or take a picture of it, and present it for your reward. With Groupon you have to put out money up front and businesses don't get it till later. Good for Groupon, not at all useful for anyone else.

Buying a TV from amazon is a different type of purchase than buying a coupon, especially because many coupons are free. Coupon shoppers will subscribe to any list they see that offers a good deal.

They aren't being attacked for not being profitable, they're being attacked for valuing themselves at over eleven billion dollars despite not having been out of the red, let alone healthily in the black.

Their value, considered rationally, is what it would cost to technically recreate them, plus the value in their name and customer list. The later is available, the former is in the ballpark of $300K-$2M, and their name isn't worth $11 billion no matter how you look at it.
