10 things you shouldn't do if you want success on App Store
Paper to CAD Conversion | BIMhub
if you think this is just UX, you have simply no clue about business processes. once you have a large number of customers, corprations, which are truly global, your nice and simple approach will not scale.

our devs are centralized, whereas our product management is out there, on the ground, from the US to china, europe, japan, etc.

wanna understand sampling compliance in Italy? expense reporting in Germany? order management in Spain? EPPV in Japan? do you know what EPPV means?

there are no coders out there to cover this broad level of business knowledge.

i started in consulting, with a background in coding as well as business. worked myself up the ladder, was a system architect for global systems. then became a "product guy" - because I have all this knowledge and experience now, in my head. which you can't simply learn or read up. only years of experience can give you that.

Weather is usually less problematic than you'd think for short rides in most temperate climate cities. It's only raining or snowing hard a small fraction of the time. Even with snow, once the roads are plowed you can bike with caution. Medical issues--I really think more people could bike if they had the courage; there are the elderly and the disabled, but your average 30 year old would do fine on a bike, even if overweight. Never mind the health benefits. I think what holds most people back are the safety issues with cars, particularly in the suburban sprawl where bike lanes are sparse.

~20 min bike commutes shouldn't get you too sweaty unless it's above 85 outside and humid. If it does, lower the pace and catch more of the breeze! For those that need to wear business attire, you'd have to stash your wardrobe at work. But I wouldn't think a shower is a requirement for most, just a bathroom to switch clothes.
I would love to see this in LESS, but how do you overcome the loops?
> I think a blanket NO CODE rule is a little extreme.

That's because it's something of your own invention. No one is advocating this, especially not the health professionals involved.

I can think of two ways. One, work under someone with that experience, solving those sorts of problems. The other, which is far more thrilling/terrifying, is to run into scaling problems, and have to figure out how to fix them. There's no teacher like experience.

As others have mentioned, though, the first step is to monitor and log everything. You want metrics on what people are doing, what your server is doing, what your network stack is doing, and everything in between. The more data you have, the more tools you have to a) locate, and b) fix problems. You don't know if something has improved if you don't have a baseline to measure it against!

Some of the tools I use include Mixpanel/Google Analytics (for understanding user behavior), Newrelic (for server-side runtime metrics), MongoDB profiling and the MySQL slow query logs (for database sticky spots), and Munin (for server/network monitoring). You'll want to build your own toolset depending on the needs of your network, but once you've figured out how to collect the data, you're a lot further than you think.

doesn't scale on a global level. we have 40+ coders. serve a global audience, big pharma. product management is there to translate and manage a huge number incoming requests, ideas, etc.

product management does not interfere in technical decisions. that's what the coders do. pm acts as the one, single client to the devs. they build for us.
> The problem with a system like this is that it requires us to throw out the existing system and replace it.

Right, because all horses were put down when trains were invented. And all rails were pulled up when cars were invented. And all roads were removed when, um, helicopters were invented, or something. Clearly any any new technology which isn't interoperable with the old requires the total abandonment of its predecessor. To ensure this, PRT stations will need to have some kind of access control mechanism which ensures that anybody who uses roads or cars is excluded from the system, and vice versa...

Sorry for the sarcasm, but this is an argument that I encounter far too frequently, and it's completely fallacious. Nowhere does it say that building new infrastructure requires the abandonment of the old.

Your second fallacy is the assumption that roads are necessarily "existing" or are in any way cheap.

First, in the next 40 years, the world's urban population will increase by 2-3 billion people. For the most part, the transport infrastructure they will use does not exist yet. Decisions on what that transport infrastructure should be can be based on current best practice rather than what is "existing".

Second, even in existing cities, roads wear out relatively quickly and are potentially more expensive to maintain / replace than PRT infrastructure. The balance of which is more cost-effective to (re-)implement is something that has to be looked at on a case-by-case basis, but is not nearly as straightforward as you suggest.

Third, roads are "cheap" only if you ignore the cost of the "rolling stock" (ie the cars people have to buy to use them), and also assume that the underlying land has no value. Note that this is a tremendous amount of land: between 45% - 55% of the surface area in most cities. PRT costs are generally given as inclusive of the rolling stock, and PRT infrastructure uses about 95% less land area per unit of capacity. In medium- to high-density areas, a full-cost accounting of this typically comes out wildly favourable to PRT.

Its two main drawbacks are that it does not handle crush loading caused by large demand fluxes (just like cars, but unlike trains), and that it is not cost-effective in low-density areas (just like trains, but unlike cars). Its natural niche is as an extension to light rail and subway systems (which can handle crush loads during peaks), serving medium-density areas which the mass transport systems could not economically serve on their own.

CSS is technically Turing complete too: http://lambda-the-ultimate.org/node/4222
So, couple of things. Just had my wife read this (she is a doc) and we chatted about this.

We are in our mid-30s and several years ago she was admitted to the ER and then ICU for 7 days for an obviously life threatening situation. (She has a near blanket NO CODE, FYI). She recovered, but there was at least 48 hours where her odds were "much worse than a coin flip" as on of her colleagues told me.

So people distinguish the different situations, in that situation she and her colleagues (she was treated at her own hospital...given that it was the best hosp in the country) knew about her NO CODE and still treated her. The reason being that medical intervention was near 100% likely to produce a positive outcome and bring her back to a normal quality of life.

However, if given a terminal diagnosis such as in the story, my wife, without hesitation, said she would choose to go without treatment. She went further and wished that this type of article could make its way to the NYT or some other outlet to get normal folks to think about. She, like most doctors, has seen way too many people "try to live" only to saddle their family with huge expenses, not dramatically effect their prognosis and basically make the rest of their lives as painful as possible.

Obviously not a fun conversation to have with your SO, but I for sure know exactly what she wants and how to ask the right questions at the hospital just in case. She also knows what I would want and how to make the right decisions.
For one thing, the standard buttons are ridiculous. Differ phones have them in different orders, and the app deceleration has free reign to make them do whatever they want. The "menu" button sometimes hides crucial information and functionality, but there's no indicator when this is the case. In the Path app, recently lauded for its design and user experience, on one activity you have to press the phone's menu button, then choose "menu" from the onscreen menu. At that point, you're actually at the menu.

I would think of Robin Li of Baidu as the #1 Chinese tech entrepreneur. Why? Because he was successful in China. Also he had the vision to figure out where the Internet would go in China + the cajones to execute on it.

I know of the folks you have mentioned however they gained success in US. There have been lots of successful Indian-American tech entrepreneurs as well.

I WANT successful tech entrepreneurs to come out of India. I want young Indian techies to contribute towards the upliftment of India instead of working for US. No offense towards native-born Caucasian Americans.

I'm just puzzled its taking so long especially when it seems conditions are so ripe in India for tech startups. So I can only imagine its a cultural thing.

The HTML element Cross Site Scripting (XSS) I will discuss abuses the "best practice" among web developers to use relative links and the tendency of web browsers to parse incorrect HTML.

HTML tags are often used in Cross Site Scripting (XSS) attacks. Usually they help an attacker inject dangerous javascript or html content.

The element XSS works a little different. Instead of creating its own injections, it hijacks normal requests for resources, loading these from an attacker's server. Form data which was meant to stay in the application, will end up at the attacker's server as well.

I really don't think all that trouble is necessary. A particular user is probably only going to see the homepage once or twice before creating an account, so even just hand-picking 5 images and rotating between them with JavaScript is probably plenty.

Or think about it in a different way - instead of adding disk IO on the server itself, you're offloading the log processing to another server which does delay writes (you don't usually need immediate sync for remote logging) and gives you better log processing capabilities (semi-structured data).

If your workload cannot be handled this way - that's another thing. But how did we get from "mongo is webscale" to "mongo cannot be used for anything at all"? What happened to benchmarking and taking serious decisions backed by real data?
>Do you still have to properly pronounce "rødgrød med fløde"?

I've never been to Denmark myself, I just have several friends from there who complained about how hard it was to get in. Apparently even marrying a Dane isn't enough to stay there if you're not from the EU.

>And the campaign for the referendum was quite on the fear-mongering side, if not a outright racist.

Oh for sure. The SVP posters have been really awful for a while but I think it's starting to backfire with the public, so hopefully that will stop.

>People aren't used to GOP-candidate-level craziness from the Swiss…

That's a bit of an exaggeration. The SVP gets pretty dirty from time to time but the GOP is a caricature of a right-wing fringe group.

>I blame the German grammar, it seems to create some kind of envy against every nationality who don't have to learn that many cases, genders etc.

Keep in mind that Switzerland has the highest "auslander" percentage of any western European country. That's going to create a big of backlash.
How does fluentd resume tailing the apache log if it crashes? Does it maintain the current file position on disk? What if logs are rotated between a fluentd crash and recovery?

I've had to solve this problem for Yahoo!'s performance team, and ended up setting a very small log rotation timeout, and only parsing rotated logs. There's a 5-30 minute delay in getting data out of logs (depending on how busy the server is), but since we're batch processing anyway, it doesn't matter.

The added advantage, is that you just maintain a list of files that you've already parsed, so if the parser/collector crashes, it just looks at the list and restarts where it left off. Smart key selection (ie, something like IP or userid+millisecond time) is enough to ensure that if you do end up reprocessing the same file (eg, if a crash occurs mid-file), then duplicate records aren't inserted (use the equivalent of a bulk INSERT IGNORE for your db).

This scales to billions of log entries a day.
Any citations on that? I've heard people claim that but in actual practice I believe it's only used against career criminals. The issue I've heard complained about is that if there is a career criminal dad, he can cause the whole family to end up getting deported (though I'm not sure that one is true either).

Making a choice and making sure that choice will be noted when the time of its relevance comes is not 'advocating'.
Yeah, you're right. But I think we can agree that it makes sense for this project, right? This isn't something like Firefox where they actively try to get you to use the software and one day turn around and say "don't complain because it's free". Instead this is an obviously one-off effort and the open sourcing was just to share it with us fine folks so we know it can be done and maybe add a few tools to our boxes. I certainly wouldn't expect any maintenance on this project.

Again, I know what you mean, I've seen it, and it's lame but I see this as an exception where it makes sense.
I can't imagine not doing #2 unless I'd also be non-functional during the extended life period. If I could read, use the Internet, write, talk to people, etc., it seems like it would be worth pain (which will end when you die, no matter what).

The only case where I could see #1 being a reasonable choice is if #2 puts such hardship on those around you that their lives become much worse.
Robert Scoble: Too many bragging apps, how will they all survive?
But it's important that these issues are discussed publicly. Here the point is not the embargo per se, but the fact that TechCrunch is deciding the embargo date, which might be really counterproductive for the startup, if it suddenly starts to get traction.

When I first started in the startup world, I was stunned how the whole PR ecosystem worked. It and it's ethics should be discussed more, not less, so that both readers and new startups understand it better.
I have a porn site as a client, and it would actually be very useful for them.

There are a lot (dozens to hundreds) of generated gallery-style landing pages for affiliates to choose to send traffic to, and having thumbnails of the pages automatically generated would make it much easier for the affiliates to browse through them and pick the ones they want to use.

Out of respect, I'll wait until it doesn't show the latest thumbnails on the homepage before pitching it to my client. :)

I don't know about this. I rarely read the about page, but if someone has a list of blog posts related to the one I'm currently reading, or makes references to other posts with more information, I will often (not always) read those as well. It's very rare that I'll keep going back to a blog or subscribe to its RSS feed. I find that hackernews tends to surface the best stories any way.

As for comments, if I get to a site via hackernews, I'll most likely comment on hackernews.
The thing is: the CL world currently lacks a comparable mechanism. We work with CL and CLJ, and we spend much more time getting builds done in CL, because we need several tools, and integration into Jenkins is also more difficult and tiresome.
This is no argument against the CL language qualities, but about tooling.

I am also not aware of repository managers for CL. Several of our libs have to be managed manually. Our CLJ libs however we can simply store in our private repo proxy. For other devs it is nothing more than a dependency they add in Leiningen and be done with it. It is trivial to set this up in Jenkins, which automatically uploads relevant artifacts into the repo. This is a fantastic and productive environment,
Bundled with greater productivity in Clojure I would start new projects today pretty much always with Clojure, not CL anymore. Though CL is still interesting to study for newcomers to Lisps.
