Ember seems to be far stripped down from Sproutcore - specifically, it doesn't come with any kind of existing view resources or existing widgets, which is what enables those sorts of standard UIs. I suspect this is because Ember is targeted at web apps (where visual diversity is often an application requirement), while Sproutcore is going to be more focused on mobile apps (where a standard UI toolkit is not just nice, but expected).
He slowed down the release of builds in an attempt to get out of beta I believe.
That's available at McDonalds.
There isn't an official library at this time, but we've been successful with the SC 1.x routing library which has been ported for use with Ember.

Serious question that sounds like a sarcastic quip: does anyone actually use Gantt charts, or are they one of those things people say they need and then ignore forever once the programmer has put them in?

I'm seriously curious. They seem so useful, and then whenever I've had an app that had them in it, I never used it. Wondering if that's just me. :)
We have a couple million-dollar Cisco telepresence setups where I work, and the experience has always been pretty great.

One time, it was 2am and my friend and I had just been kicked out of a bar near our office. There was also a severe thunderstorm warning in effect (with a lot of lightning) so we decided to go back to work instead of riding our bikes home in a tornado. Being rather inebriated, we did not do much work. Instead, we wandered around the building and found the telepresence rooms. We wondered, "how do we link these up and have a conference". There was a phone in each room, and they had some digits on them, so I went to the other telepresence and punched those digits into the phone-like device there. Connected! We then had a conversation for a good hour or so; it was so much like real life that it wasn't worth the effort to get up and walk back to the other room to have a "real" "in-person" conversation. There was no latency. Eye-contact was eye-contact. Everything was the right size. The displays may have even been Retina Displays; I didn't notice any pixels like I might when watching HDTV.

So all in all, not bad when done right. It passed the "wait out a tornado while drunk test", which I think says a lot.

The music/film industry has not been asked to try to regulate the Web industry. Instead, the music/film industry has demanded the right to do whatever the hell they like, with no oversight, no due process, and no hindrance, to ensure their own profits to the exclusion of all other considerations. It's bad for the artists, bad for consumers, extremely bad in terms of collateral damage to the Internet and society alike, and ultimately bad for the music and film industry themselves. Every study done by independent observers, every bit of evidence that is examined by people not being paid for alarmism, every new scandal that comes out, underscores the short-sightedness, venality, and sheer moral failure of the bozos running that show, and yet true to form, Congress continues to lick their spittle for a couple nickels come payday.

It's time they got theirs. Seriously.
I'm a VC and these pay-to-present groups disgust me. People who charge pitch fees aren't investors - they're in the business of nickle and diming entrepreneurs who don't know any better.

The culture of feedback and mentorship in the valley is what makes entrepreneurship flourish here, decade after decade.
Project Management Graphics (or Gantt Charts)
Some suggestions:

1) If you are going to suggest such a massive scope of changes, offer to help instead of just dumping a list out there.

2) Check to see if the poster on HN is actually the author of the article. Doesn't look like it in this case, so you may be talking into a vacuum.

3) I love that timeline widget. But it is one of the most un-intuitive and complicated things I have ever seen. I recommend re-coding its functions into a simpler library vs. adding even more complexity to timeline.

4) Dependencies can get evil. Your suggestions add quite a lot of complexity into footprint of plugin. I fear that the end result might look good to a coder, but be a bit of a nightmare to actually use in a production environment.
Whoa, babe city. Scrolled down through a few dozen photos. All the girls are babes, and about 60% of the dudes (which, being heterosexual, is a pretty good percentage). The internet is more attractive than expected. ;)
It's not a bad decision on Samsung's part, though. USB mass storage sucks because the computer and the phone can't use the storage at the same time. MTP is a standardized protocol for handling this sort of situation cleanly, and so it doesn't seem like a bad choice to use it. Also, it's hard to find ext3 drivers for Windows and OS X, so mass storage is rarely what users want anyway.
That's true. Ember isn't trying to provide a set of UI widgets out of the box. I'm confident that Ember-compatible UI libraries will be released in the near future.

SproutCore 1.x isn't very mobile-friendly at the moment. The original reason the SproutCore 2.0 rewrite began was to make the framework lightweight so that it'd be more suitable for use on mobile platforms.

I've started a project, Ember-Titanium, that enables native mobile app development using Ember's runtime on the Titanium Mobile platform. The project is still in it's infancy, but I've already been successful at building apps with it.

Ask HN: Which web hosting service do you use
I'm pretty fresh to having my own website, I've got some domain names now, and I'm testing out one site on Weebly, but I'd rather have my own go at building a site from the ground up, and I'm curious if anyone has a favorite hosting service out there.

FWIW, I used gandi.net to get my domains.
Customers who have no loyalty.

There's nothing keeping a customer from jumping ship if Amazon creates a similar service at the same or lower price. There's no contract, no setup fee, no hardware that becomes useless with a new provider. They own nothing that's worth buying at anywhere near their current valuation.

"It is easy to dismiss video games as pointless activities that only teenagers indulge in. The truth is that the average age of MMORPG players is around 26. In fact, only 25% of MMORPG players are teenagers. About 50% of MMORPG players work full-time. About 36% of players are married, and 22% have children. So the MMORPG demographic is fairly diverse, including high-school students, college students, early professionals, middle-aged home-makers, as well as retirees. In other words, MMORPGs do not only appeal to a youth subculture."

1) If you look at my github account, you can see that I've contributed quite a lot to open source over a long period of time. I've got a long history of 'helping'. Looking at your github account... oh wait...

2) Good point. Can't argue that.

3) Maybe. Maybe not. It would need to be investigated further.

4) I made those suggestions based on code I've got in production. Other than Timeline, I suggested two libraries, both of which would remove a lot of code duplication in the Gantt plugin.
every time I see gantt charts, I think of Tufte's long forum thread discussing them and project management graphics in general. I also noticed it hadn't been posted to HN before, so I did.

Ask HN: single founder companies and startups?
Hi all,

I recently left a fairly lucrative consulting career to follow my dream of starting a data mining firm. I find myself very lucky because I have the technical skills to code and develop the analytic tools I want to sell, and also know the business side of things (marketing, networking, pitching, etc.) thanks to the consulting work I've been doing. Furthermore, my job was one that didn't really expose me to many entrepreneurial people.

As I move forward, I've been warned by many "startup veterans" that going it alone is a bad idea. Even a lot of the accelerators and incubators require you to have a co-founder.

So wanted to ask HN -- what do you guys think? Any single founder companies out there? What were your experience?

Thanks...

Do you actually think this is not the case?

Jesus - seriously? Of course I think it's not the case. My wife, a theoretical physicist, has two children. These are not mutually exclusive goals in life, and it's incredible to me - and I truly mean this in the nicest possible way, because you're asking honestly and I respect that - that an adult in the twenty-first century could honestly believe that it even should be a choice, let alone that people (even women) make such a choice.

It blew my mind when all the male physicists thought that too - it blew my wife's mind, actually, because she thinks physicists think more clearly than other people (yes, I love her dearly, but I do have to remind her that physicists are still primates).

Everybody wants to have babies. Seriously. It's pretty much built into the low-level code. It's not exclusive to women. If there are fewer women in physics (and there are) then it is far, far more due to the fact that the field is really and truly knife-in-the-back hostile to women than that women choose to have babies "instead".

My wife went to grad school with a bunch of really nice guys. Lifetime friends kind of guys. And they still couldn't quite wrap their heads around the fact that she was female and still really deeply into theoretical particle physics.

Sure, it's interfered with her career for real reasons - kids have interfered with my own career, and that's just reality - but nobody says I'm not dedicated enough to my career because I chose to have kids. So why is that? It's simply because I'm male. Nothing more.

The truth is, a lot of the philosophy of the academic system is due to the monasteries that preceded it. If you're not married to God (I mean, "physics") then you don't truly love it. Which is balderdash, of course - but academics are some of the most sexist people in the world, and truly believe the place of the faculty wife is in the kitchen and picking the kids up at school, while her husband is doing all the smart stuff eighteen hours a day and getting ahead. Hell, even Einstein was a pig in that sense, but he was at least born in the nineteenth century and had an excuse.
Rent a dedicated server or virtual servers (latter only recommended for development and certain scaling scenarios). Set it up yourself. Shared hosting isn't great.

If you do want shared hosting, try the cloud-based ones: e.g. Rackspace CloudSites or Heroku.

Hide it behind CloudFlare to scale it and protect it.
My company has had this setup for the past 12 years. We have a small office with desks and conference rooms anyone can grab if they are free.

It works well. I work from home 99.9% of the time, but sometimes it's nice to go into the office for a change of scenery or when the cable goes out. There's usually one or two random people also in the office at any given time and you get to have interesting randomized social experiences by going out to lunch or dinner with them.
I saw the initial article, saw this one and others, and had a lot to say until I remembered a rule of the internet. it is paraphrased here in a response article: http://techcrunch.com/2011/12/12/stop-telling-women-not-to-d...
"And here’s a piece of advice to women (or any other minority) in tech — Every time you get worked up over a dumb blog post, you’re wasting time that you could have spent building a world-changing company, writing your own blog post and/or proving pundits like Penelope Trunk wrong. And that starts with voting with your feet (or pen even)."

Yep.
I could discuss Zach's optimism. I could talk about why Penelope's wrong, or why she may have been misled by truths, but I'd rather prove her wrong.
With my startup.
It ain't tech, but just watch me.
Anyone have the link to the original story that sparked all this?
Not only do I use it (that's how I saw this story) but also advocate it to people who like to consume news. When you think about it, RSS in a news reader is a much more efficient information consumption than visiting sites.

Twitter and other social feeds are interesting but the amount of noise to signal seems to be much lower than what you can get on RSS, even on some of the better sources.
I don't really get this...can someone explain (in 6 year old terms please) what the hell it actually means?
I love having a co-founder.

Having somebody who's as invested as you are in succeeding to bounce ideas off of, confer with, and make big decisions with is invaluable.

Having that extra mind that complements yours is something I couldn't go without.

My biggest problem with going it alone (from experience) is you only have yourself to ask for advice.

I wrote about a few specific benefits of having a co-founder here:

For what is worth: I'd move to the US, and in principle I'm not opposed to working at a startup. However, the H1-B visa says I that if I lose my job, I need to get another within 1 month or leave the country. So, while I'm not so risk-averse in the sense of being afraid to be temporarily jobless, I would avoid putting myself in such a position.
Egalitarian nonsense. Different people have different capabilities. Many people, if not most, have no ability to run a company at any stage.

And that's only half the problem. As a developer, trying to use Yelp's API for anything by shop details is a waste of time. The search results are either completely random or do full-text search on the full review sets for each place.

We got some useless (albeit hilarious) results when using expletives such as 'f*face' and 'bullshit' as search terms. I guess the listed merchants wouldn't find it half as funny.
Yes I do, as a high level tool for quickly identifying scope and impact. I have normally worked with enterprise (bulk funded) clients using waterfall process however, so it makes sense in that context. I'm not sure how relevant it would be using different management styles.

SOPA is evil. We need to do everything we can to fight it. Wikipedia is one of a handful of sites who have the power to really make a difference.

I suggest that not Wikipedia, but blogs, community sites, even your business sites all have at least some temporary display against SOPA.

I only get ~15 visitors to my site per day.

That's still something to work with.

We must all support a temporary Wikipedia white out. Those who are opposed are blind and need to understand SOPA.
Or is it....
Thanks so much for this. I have been working on a time management tool, and I'll probably use this as a top down view option.

In regards to momentjs and timeline, the reason I chose to develop with jQuery.Gantt was because of its lack of dependencies. I tried jQuery.GanttView and that required Date.js, which got torn to shreds earlier on Hacker News for its poor handling of varying syntaxes.
Well if you take Tumblr's recent censoring as evidence, it can easily work.
The Information Diet - first chapter released
I really liked the web preview of TM1. But its gone in this version of TM2. :( No other editor has this functionality, except maybe espresso[1], but I don't really like their solution.

Nor am I that happy with http://livereload.com/ as it only updates on save.

As a front end dev, I want a live preview in my editor that autoupdates on each key press, this makes prototyping so much faster.

I guess its time to start working on a SublimeText2 Plugin...

I think that works better with some people than others. If there's a big difference in how good two people are at on-the-spot negotiation, often the less-good person will end up just not saying much, or feel coerced into something, while over email they might've hashed out an agreement. On the other hand, some people good at face-to-face discussion are really incompetent emailers, so that can also have downsides. I'm very unconvinced there's a clear ordering of what you get from each; you get different things out of different people from different modes of communication (same with phone vs. IM, to take another huge-variance example).

I actually find the people I know best are people I've IM'd with a lot, for whatever reason. Some I've also hung out in person with a lot, and that also adds a certain amount of depth. But people I only know in person---with little to no significant IM'ing---are in a lower-depth category.
momentjs is actually a pretty decent library. I agree, Date.js is pretty bad.
I can't speak for backbone.js, but this looks a little more verbose than my favorite MVC framework; Knockout.js (http://learn.knockoutjs.com/).
This was the first thing I looked for in the feature list and after I started it up for the first time. Thought for sure I was missing it some where. Looks like I'm not the only one.

Next, I was looking for fullscreen... Surely it's here, but I'm not seeing it.

These 2 features alone are huge to me and reasons I still stick with MacVim despite it feeling/being clumsy at times. It just doesn't have that same polish, look, feel that TextMate has. Sublime is nice I guess, but I just can't get into it (I still bought a license to try out and support the efforts).

I am the sole founder of bizen.com. Went through Jumpstart Foundry in Fall 2010.

Maybe not for a services firm (which it sounds like what you are doing).
