Especially considerring Knockout Model plugin that basically adds Backbone-style capabilities to KO models. Other notable plugins give easy bindings for jQuery UI widgets, Underscore support for collections and external templates:

https://github.com/SteveSanderson/knockout/wiki/Plugins

I'd also like to point out that in the upcomming release Knockout ads several nifty improvements: http://blog.stevensanderson.com/2011/08/31/knockout-1-3-0-be...

My favorite are control flow bindings that let you write templating code right inside your HTML and not withing script tags. When you have to write markup inside a script tag you editor might get the whole autocompletion, formatting and syntax coloring wrong. And in past it was relly annoying for me. So having templates in HTML, not in script is really great.

One thing that helps a lot is that all bindings are defined inside data-attributes which keeps markup valid. Most editors support them well, too. Ember's double-braced template attributes are really weak choice in this regard.

And if you're worried about javascript bits inside data-bind attributes you now have an option to separate them via binding providers (see blog post above). The syntax is somewhat clunky but still workable and I suppose it can be improved.

Provided that Knockout has a vibrant community and growing support inside .NET world I think Ember has nothing to offer to make me switch.

And that's unfortunate. Today I see like most frameworks converges to some common ground. Knockout gets more features from Backbone. Backbone gets more features from Knockout (there's at least one bindings plugin for BB although it pales in comparison to Ko). And as far as I can see we as a JavaScript community reached the next base.

- We started with simple Ajax libraries.
- Then we moved to widgets.
- Now we got MVP frameworks and think more about organizing our applications in general.

What's the next step? That's the most important question for me and for other JS professionals that I talked to at recent local conference. When I saw Yahuda's announcement I really hoped that he'd give us a clue. Instead we got another MVP variant and not a top one although a pretty solid.

I suspect that Ember still will get some users. Yahuda has dedicated fans (me included) and Knockout as something coming from .NET world has a somewhat hard time getting adoption among the general JS crowd. Maybe that's a good thing: two frameworks are very similar and can learn from one another. But I personally hoped for more.

Still, congrats on releasing the thing! Keep it up!
What fight? There's an abundance of tech personnel.
Fig. 6 is awesome. Clearly too striking a correlation to be merely coincidence.
Yes, the history is full of such examples. Unfortunately it takes a long time for a revolution to come and make things right again - generations.
If this is how the game is set, we don't get a chance. But it's worth a fight.

It won't be ultra secure if it's cheap to manufacture and used in products ranging from money to even concert tickets.

Great story, certainly a tempting thing to do - having some stock design sitting there earning money (also providing support). Curious about what it means in take home pay though. Seems the money you take from a sale can go as low as 30% and they keep 70%. More details here: http://wiki.envato.com/selling/getting-paid/payment-rates/

Edit: and I wonder what the cost of support is, here is his forum http://www.kriesi.at/support/ he seems to have a few support staff on there.
That's a resume farm.
This looks like a nice library. So is python-requests. Every time I see this sort of libraries though, I can't help to wonder - why standard python libraries are so bad that people need to create these helpers.

I wish it were so but just look in this thread. It seems to actually be dominated by workers talking like CEO's (i.e. "engineers should be getting less because of the following 10 intangible nonsensical reasons...").
Good news. More competition is always welcomed. Hopefully this put pricing pressure on other cloud vendors.
Mine has gotten hot once, when I had it in an enclosed space while charging it. If the grandparent had a hot one in his hand, it certainly wasn't from what I've experienced in normal use.

That's one way to look at it. Another way to look at it is that they are allowing developers to develop for iOS and Android in C#, which may eventually have a good effect on the number of Windows Phone apps developed.

Depending on the amounts you are talking about, I might not have the experience to help you. The general advice would be to park it somewhere safe for now, realize there is no rush, invest it over time rather than all at once, and find a fee-based (rather than commission-based) financial advisor to assist you.

But I would suggest that if it's money that you can potentially afford to lose, you should at least consider investing in small local companies that you enjoy patronizing. It's easier if you are an "accredited investor", but still may be possible if you are not. There's no easy way to find which businesses are seeking investment, but it never hurts to walk up and ask. There's potential for high returns, and it's certainly a lot more interesting than a mutual fund!

(My specific advice would be to find the best local sorbet shop you can and talk to the owner about investment opportunities. OK, just joking, but feel free to check my profile for contact information. I'd be happy to discuss in general how it works on the business side.)

Move to Silicon Valley. Seriously. I started reading Hacker News last year as well and decided back in September to leave my job and move here. Definitely a big decision but I don't regret it. The demand for engineers here far exceeds the supply, so you can work at almost anywhere you like.

If you can't move, then attend a Startup Weekend near you (http://www.startupweekend.org/). It's a great way to meet startup oriented folks. I thought there was no startup community in the midwest. But at Startup Weekend in Des Moines, IA and Kansas City, MO I met well over 100 people. Then I found out about Startup Digest, Silicon Prairie News, etc. If there is no startup community, create one. Find everyone you know that might be interested, create a Facebook and Meetup group and organize some startup meetings. You never know who you'll meet.
That only works for static scenes with a predictable light source. So it wouldn't work with a light source that you don't control. Also it might or might not work for e.g. medical imaging because a person can't sit perfectly still. So for those cases you do need the million camera version.
Perhaps I phrased it wrong. People in the army were apparently issued with their ballot papers already filled in. This is clearly a case of "under duress from their superiors" to vote for a particular party. I can't a Russian soldier asking for a clean ballot and voting for someone else.

Avoid Oakland. It has all the negatives of cities, and none of the positives. The exception is if you live in a non BART accessible place like the Oakland Hills, but then you just have none of the benefits of a city, and few of the positives.

Berkeley is ok in some areas, but basically I'd choose between SF and Palo Alto/Mountain View if you want to do startups. SF if you want something closer to NYC, and PA/MV if you want something more suburban/small town and different.

This is probably true for many people. But some of the best work in history was produced exclusively by people in solitude. In fact, without thinking in solitude first, most people cannot have meaningful in-depth conversation with people in person.

I'd say that solitude (away from all (including online) social interactions) is also a mandatory to-do item once in a while. Just as in-person socializing, it's easier for some people than others.

BkRender: HTML5 mobile framework
One of my favorite phone games is a puzzler called Piczle Lines. The core puzzle set is free, and you pay for additional sets. It's successful, mentally engaging, and fun as hell.

Come to think of it, the positive examples are mostly just patching over a business model constraint: that the App Store doesn't have a way to offer a demo, essentially pushing game creators into either Freemium or split Ad/Pro versions.
"There are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies, and statistics."

I'd go so far as to say the problem is 100x more complicated than "Correlation != Causation". Given a set of factual statistics it's not terribly difficult to present them in a truthful, reasonable manner than support any side of a given argument.
Their political careers need to end that day.

I strongly hope this will happen, especially for the sake of non-US countries like mine.

There are a lot of comments saying that the blackout should spare non-US countries as it does not affect us.

Not only the USA is pressing hard to "control" the internet. Similar attempts will be made in the EU, in fact, one is already underway. See ACTA: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-Counterfeiting_Trade_Agree...

If Wikipedia and hopefully Google would really replace their site for one day, it would raise the peoples awareness to such issues dramatically.
And if some American politicians lose their jobs over it, some European politicians will keep that in mind when the next "Anti-Internet-Law" (of course it would never be called that way) is proposed.

That seems like a reasonable model; sort of a return to what some 90s games did, where you got Episode 1 of Doom free, and could pay to get another two episodes.
A few tips on the use of the iphone software development kit
"As a result of garnering the rights to Mono and a solid customer base, Xamarin wound up with self-sustaining revenue that covers its staff of some 50 people — without having taken on any venture capital."

That's pretty cool. From the article, it sounds like they were cash-flow positive enough to support 50 people, from the outset.
That's great. But, unfortunately, Mono is not making netflix run on my computer. Now that would be an achievement.

Does anyone know what sort of crowdfunding is considered permissible, and what is not allowed, under the proposed legislation?

I didn't see it in TFA, and googling "CROWDFUND ACT" didn't bring me the text of the bill.

Ostensibly the line must be drawn somewhere.

Is this only for "tech" companies? How is that defined?

Is there a particular company structure that is dictated? Delaware S-Corp, or any state Corp/LLC?

Cofounder needed for profitable startup.
Hi there!

I'm a semi-popular HN user that runs a startup in the Software-as-a-service space.

We've got traction, and we have money coming in. But, I need a cofounder. Most of the work is already done, but I need someone to stick around and help improve the product, as we grow.

My startup recently was incubated by one of the top US incubators, but I need your help to take it to the next level.

Interested? Lets talk: M8R-tpguyk@mailinator.com
"It's a false dichotomy typically imagined by those who have never worked on medium to large-sized products"

In my experience it's not necessarily false, especially when the test cycle has a weak regression suite.

One project I worked on was an embedded system with tight resource management requirements. The teams were split into features and stability/performance scrums. Each new feature would have the performance people crying out loud at the new overheads introduced.

A performance/stability-minded code reviewer on each team alongside a strong performance regression test cycle might have seen the project succeed but the pace imposed by a fast agile dev cycle precluded this sort of discipline.

Marketing wanted features and wanted them now - The demo is Friday, chop chop!

Not a false dichotomy but a manufactured one, perhaps.

They aren't "so bad", you can't expect the standard library to meet the requirements of everyone. Most of what this library achieves can be done with urlparse, it just has some additional "nice to haves". Also, see the comments about not using a MultiDict as a good indicator of why this problem isn't solved in the stdlib.
>The real issue with freemium is that I've yet to see a single example that's actually a game, as opposed to one armed bandits masquerading as games.

Today heard on NPR something along the lines that Zinga IPO valuation is 7-10B, and they successfully sell virtual goods inside their games like chainsaws in the Mafia wars. That somehow struck me that i'm possibly missing some important change happening in the world as it sounds that people do really buy the chainsaws! (note: i did my share of Doom and i read Godfather - in my view it is completely different chainsaw (or cutting tools in general) applications)

These are some good optimisation tips.

I'm a little torn with some of them though; they're optimisations, and I don't think you should necessarily do them all by default.

Specifically, I'm thinking of the selector optimisation.

$('#id').find('p')

may be faster than

$('#id p')

but to me, the latter is more idiomatic jQuery. Why that matters, in my opinion, is the latter is much more likely to be optimised by the jQuery because it's the default way most people write selectors.

There's nothing wrong with optimisations, and developers should certainly know what's happening behind the scenes, but what's true today might not be true in 6 months time.

I think I made a point in there somewhere.
It was more or less a clone of Opera mini (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bolt_browser, http://cellphonequick.com/bolt-browser-3-0-now-available-at-...) running on Webkit (and some people argue that Opera should do it too).

The 1st [amendment] is very clear and does not require some uber-con-law expert to tell us what it means.

What's clear to you isn't necessarily clear to the supreme court. A literal reading of the 1st amendment tells me that shouting "fire!" in a crowded theatre is constitutionally protected, as is libel and distributing child pornography; fortunately courts have a habit of reading common sense into these things.

>"Because all of our pulses look the same"

Don't misunderstand me, this is really impressive and potentially has some important applications...

...but, because the final product showing the plastic bottle is a series of similar scenes, the video seems more akin to a cell or stop motion animation rather than to what is typically considered high speed photography which captures a single event and expands time rather than compressing it. Ten seconds of traditional high speed film contains images captured in a fraction of a second. In this video, ten seconds was captured over the course of many minutes.

In other words, there is a significant degree of editorial decision making regarding the manner in which events are depicted - even if that decision making is now handled by software.

But cool nonetheless.
This is a great story about a project finding a way. It's also great story of a team of talented developers being able to create a commercial force in very little time. I suppose having a well oiled development team and a ton of contacts for possible clients ready to go is a strong ingredient for quick profits.

This makes me wonder what other projects in a similar situation could make a similar jump.

If you are looking for a home in development but don't yet need to take the plunge of finding a job. This is a good example of how an open source project can create opportunities.
