I always find the gushing articles about Amazon super annoying as an ex-amazonian.

Part of amazon's business practice is to take people, chew them up, spit them out. Replace them with new grads.

Regardless of if this is successful or not, the question really should be is this ACCEPTABLE or not.

After all, there are many successful approaches that are illegal and immoral and we eschew them and universally revile them.

I really like this comment. The MBA-ization of corporations is not a thing to be praised. The reason why companies fail is because management is disconnected from the realities of their business and manage it from a spreadsheet point of view. See "Execution: The discipline of getting things done" for a lucid explanation of what execution is, why it matters and why companies succeed and fail. Hint: Companies who have CEOs that know little of how the company actually works are not to be emulated.
Another good one is sleep. Optimally, you'll go to sleep at the same time every day and wake up without an alarm. You might lose some waking hours, but you'll more than make up for it in the productivity.
I'm surprised that Visual Assist wasn't mentioned, but the list does lean heavily toward .NET development so perhaps that's the reason why. Visual Studio handles code coloring for C# fine, but not at all well for C++.
The text column is narrow because it's easier for humans to read text in narrow columns. Also, negative space isn't necessarily bad -- it can be used to draw attention to important items.

Now that I think about it, if the black bar was lighter, then the page wouldn't balance visually. To be honest, I didn't actually notice what was on the black bar when I first read the article, and when you scroll down it collapses into something less visually imposing. The open animation could do with being a bit faster or vanishing altogether though. I feel like having a smooth close animation is important because the eye is attracted to sudden movement.

My understanding (note: I am not a physicist, this is not a physics lesson) agrees with ars, gravity has to move at the same speed as light.

In either case, the energy emissions potentially are enough, if they're directed at us and strong enough.

Absolutely. I used to think I had a problem waking up on time. Instead, it was a problem with going to sleep early enough. Now that I've sorted it out, a regular sleep schedule has been fantastic for me.

One thing that has really helped has been taking seriously the influence light has on my biological clock. Dim evening light, bright morning light, and extra effort to get plenty of sunlight in the winter. And for coding, I really like f.lux, which changes the color temperature of my screen in time with outdoor light:

I plan to do a PhD in AI and start my own company after that. I already have a very solid software engineering background. I think in order to truly appreciate your education and efforts, you need to start your own company. Otherwise, you're just generating money to someone else and your work gets averaged by everyone else's work.
This may fit into the same category of way too optimistic, but I think it should be something that's in school, from an early age. My high school has a mandatory computer literacy test, but it only tests a few skills like MS Office or "What is an ethernet port?"

It'd be nice if it taught stuff like "how not to be an idiot on the internet."

This is absolutely shockingly awesome. (No I don't use these words often at all.) Based on the non-mainstream scientific evidence, the coming radiation has the power to completely reconfigure our DNA, and in fact all DNA/RNA on Earth's surface. This is what had been predicted by numerous ancient cultures including Mayans, and badly misinterpreted as the end of the world, or end of the times.
If you don't happen to be a hardline mainstream scientist, I really recommend picking up this book, if for nothing else, then for all the absolutely shocking scientific research it references: http://www.amazon.com/dp/0525952047/

Been there done the Knockout.js thing... try Backbone.js instead:
http://documentcloud.github.com/backbone/

Not knocking Knockout.js ;) it's great for really small apps.
People form study groups all the time, it's a great way to learn. Since it's a free online course all of the benefit is what you actually learn, there is no way to cheat. At least that's my point of view (I am not in any of the classes, but wouldn't hesitate to co-work on stuff if I was).
This approach works brilliantly if:

1. You trust your potential investors. Curate your shortlist through your network and aim for the best of the bunch. Emphasize your network's recommendations rather than chasing name-brands.

2. You have real data. Most applicable for growth rounds. Doesn't apply to most seed / Series A rounds unless you're really kicking ass early

And you will not find a VC who wouldn't be thrilled to hear of this approach. Saves time and adds extra depth to those in-person discussions.
Not necessarily, because maybe refactoring your code to be clean enough to fit into ten files is also makes it clean enough to remove bugs. And/or hairy code doesn't end up in short files.
webapps don't require web access. localstorage and application cache apis are widely supported.
Just ask for a small percentage more than offered and plan on changing jobs after a couple years for your first real raise (20%+). Most places will try the 'you've been super awesome so you get the full 3%' trick, which is basically just the inflation rate. Don't expect miracles. Don't try to use an offer to try and get a better one somewhere else. It's kind of unprofessional. just say 'I really need $x to accept your offer'.
The NewsBlur iPhone App - visual feed reader with intelligence
Seems to me that as long as votes are for sale, somebody will buy them, and the system will be corrupt. The only real solution, and it's not an easy one, is that voters have stop being so easily influenced. They need to become critical thinkers that actively research their opinions. All the ingredients are in place for this to happen, but it's going to take at least a generation to catch on.
Amazon's advantage are mostly -though not entirely- in the superb logistics that allow them to undercut competitors' prices. Beyond low prices, there is not much that is unique and can't be duplicated.

I think GE at its prime had more intrinsic advantages and unique technologies than just superb logistics.

The moment that about face happened, when he said, "Screw it." That was when Mr. Jobs created the campaign. Certainly there was creative work involved that deserves much credit, but the leap was made in that mind and in that moment. In the first page of the online article, more deference ought to have been paid to the man for that reason.

I am NOT a Mac.
The discussion of this over on Ars Technica centered around their current PHP interpreter being twice as slow as the Zend PHP engine so a 60% improvement would still leave HHVM slower.

What am I missing?
Have to agree here. backbone.js has a learning curve but imo backbone is based on more ideal design principles.

For example the first lesson in this tutorial is telling you to bind data to the view _by manually editing a DOM node_.

Whereas in backbone all your data exists in model objects as it should. Views get initialized/created by view objects, and the bindings are through events. So for the first example, in backbone, I'd use a mustache template to build my view, toss in the model object (obj.attributes) and bind the view rendering to the objects change event. Much more clear lines of responsibility imo.

Thus Backbone.js is definitely advocating much better design principles.
This comment is a fantastic example of what is probably the most insidious form of trolling.

When I wrote that article, we were joking about making it real. Now we're joking about it becoming successful. Here's to hoping two jokes come true :)
It's an incredible sales tool for the framework, I'll say that. I'm in the process of selecting a Javascript framework for a new project, and this makes selecting Knockout very compelling.

It's hard to convince yourself you need to evaluate some other competing and (almost invariably) poorly documented framework when you've got this tutorial sitting there, just asking to be used...
anigbrowl, I enjoy your comments, both on your good days and your bad
days. On rare occasions it seems like you may have misread something
since your reply comes from a surprising angle, but English is not the
first language of everyone, and everyone misreads things on occasion.
The good news is when I see something surprising as if things were
misread, it means I should reread them to make sure that I didn't
misread them.
anybody else use RJ Metrics? Any thoughts?
Yep. I've seen that (and I've seen evidence googlebot executing javascript in my own logfiles).

BUT - If I have a client relying on SEO/organic ranking for their money right now, there's no way I'd be suggesting they move to a "html template with javascript loaded content" style site - not until I've seen a few other similar/competitor sites ranking well with those techniques.

Delight yourself with ipad 2 accessories
The ipad accessories market received a huge boost after the launching of ipad and its newest versions. Different businesses are in this market and with their emergence in the market; ipad users are getting more variety in the ipad accessories such as ipad covers, skins, etc.
Being in the productivity space, I read many articles like this each day, and you're right - it's the same advice.

With LazyMeter, we sought to build not just a new philosophy, but also a tool that helps you adopt it. Our goal is to motivate you by making your to-do list achievable and showing you how much you've done. We also show you how much you procrastinate - it's amazing how powerful a little awareness can be. Would love to hear what you think. http://www.LazyMeter.com

The thing that's always missing from these articles is the definition of productivity. Is it doing more? Is it working more hours?

What most people don't realize is that productivity is not about how much you do - it's about how you feel at the end of the day. Don't forget why you're working in the first place. Effective productivity is simply doing what needs to be done, one day at a time. The key is turning your overwhelming to-do list into an actionable today list - so you're working towards an achievable goal each day. When you're working towards an end point, you'll get things done much more quickly, and you'll have no reason to procrastinate.

Productivity doesn't need to be stressful or overwhelming; it can actually be very fulfilling if you look at it the right way. Stop focusing on "work" and focus on progress instead.
"Work on your own agenda."

This is the only point that matters, though the explanation after is idiotic and should be ignored. But just by following this list, or even this one point, you won't become highly productive. Perhaps more productive, as its a drive inside you that makes a person highly productive. That can't be taught, it has to be unleashed by a passion and a dream (which this list misses).

I was business assistant (at VP level) to a Very Highly Productive Person who worked on what he wanted, when he wanted, much to his staff's detriment. Which was likely the point, he was more than able to afford staff and could delegate what he didn't want to do to us. His focus was on doing what was best for himself and privately owned his company.

The compulsion for achieving goals, be they deals, launching a new product or company, can have significant impact if there isn't a good work-life balance, and as his staff, we had to force him, and his wife, to take breaks to avoid burn out. This is often a hidden problem that can manifest other issues and bring the downfall or public embarrassment of highly productive people.
I am in awe of your skills. This is the first time I have heard of this program and I must say that I am a little surprised at how little money they offer to developers in return for them exposing potentially catastrophic bugs. Some engineers at Google must be paid rough $500/hour and more so you would have thought that finding bugs of this magnitude for say $10,000 a pop would still be cheap.
Throughout my life, I have observed that the "nature of suicidal tendencies", which I think falls into the broader category called depression, is in fact nothing more than energetic deficiency. I'm of course talking about the kind of energy most of us know for a fact that it exists, but which is not scientifically proven and the mainstream health care system doesn't work with it. I think chinese call it Chi. I found out that a daily practice of a very simple visualization technique, where one closes eyes and imagines colored spheres at the 7 points of their body where the "main chakras" are said to be located, this energetic deficiency can be beaten to the level where it's not a problem anymore.
Also, depression is not the only thing this works on, for example you can use this after you have eaten something your body finds hard to process, and basically to help solve any other problem. But you have to take a good care to not overdo it.

I think HN is manipulated but in a way you're not quite insinuating. There are a few hundred YC start-ups now, and they're like a gang. They've got each other's back. When somebody wants something linked to they can count on the private YC mailing lists, requests to personal contacts, and followers' reciprocity with twitter,linkedin, and facebook. I've seen exactly this happen at a couple of YC companies when trying to get their postings about their job postings voted to the top. I've participated in it.

"I think my biggest fear in putting alot of resources into a failed project."

Do not fear this!*

Accept that it's actually the most likely outcome, and that down the track, never having failed is quite likely to be viewed with suspicion or disbelief. Be smart about it - limit your losses by failing early, but refusing to risk failure means you're also refusing to risk success...

Big

* Well, be smart about it - it the resources you're planning on putting in are such that you're risking _serious_ _long term_ personal consequences in the event of failure, you need to weigh that against the benefits of success and the likelyhood of it being successful. If the "worst case" scenario is that you fail with 5 or 10k of credit card debt and need to move back in with you folks and get a day job to get back on your feet, you can quite likely afford to "risk everything" there...

what you haven't thought about is that when you do refactor the 1000 line file into 10 files, that refactor would necessarily have made each bit slightly simpler (by virtue of it being smaller). Hence, it is likely that bugs don't get introduced as easily, simply because there is less to 'worry' about when writing code that has a smaller cognative load. so may be the metric isn't as wrong as you initially thought.
Another case of the 1% (hoteliers) colluding to keep the 99% (people looking to monetize on their underutilized resources) down .

They're going to hit $100M in revenue; that's not profit. Their margins at their current size might be low. If they want to grow to $400M in a couple years, they have to spend a lot of money quickly. Particularly if they have low customer acquisition costs, but it takes 2 years to realize the full lifetime value of the customer, they would be foolish to wait for the money to come in via profits.

In addition to needing more money to grow quickly, you don't want to underestimate the power of having Andreesen Horowitz or any strong investor in your corner. Look at YC, for example. $20k is nothing compared to the real value they generate through their connections and other benefits. Top tier VCs are the same - providing connections, advice, guidance, keeping you focused, and helping you navigate things in the future like more funding, an IPO, etc., things they've done many, many times, and perhaps Fab's founders never have.

Essentially, it's meaningless to say that two things are absolutely happening at the same time in different places. There is no such thing as "meanwhile, somewhere else". Or at best, it's a very limited model.

When we observe the light from an event is when it actually happens, from our perspective, for all intents and purposes. Kinda screws up our whole way of thinking, but this is how the universe actually works.

This might be a cultural difference. I'm from India.

But 'poor' people have cars in America(From the photos)? You guys get $600 per month for doing nothing(Social security)? Don't pay taxes and yet infrastructure benefits must reach you?

I don't really know what more the country can do for you guys. I mean paying individuals $600 per month for doing nothing, with which they can afford home, cars, food and clothing all this when the individual isn't even working.

I mean if this isn't sufficient, what is?

You really must come out of US and check the definition of 'poor' in other countries.

Here is a reason why you guys can never beat China. Because there people tend to be happy with ever little they get. But here in this case you have people complaining for stuff which is offered to them free at the first place.
