Thank you, that is very helpful! You put a good amount of effort into that.

And yes, I agree, you have to know exactly what they say--but I fear becoming confused and forgetting which license allows exactly what after trudging through the legal constructions and lists of verbs such as "use, copy, modify, merge, publish, distribute, sublicense, and/or sell copies" (well that's not so bad now).

Now this is a heavy, full-contract-like license: http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl.html

Thankfully, that sounds to be the exception among licenses.
There are a lot of angles to approach this from.

There are core principles and foundations to design, much like engineering. Cultivating a personal sense of taste is important as well.

Start by doing some reading on the fundamentals of design and typography. Also, start frequenting various design blogs and websites. You need to expose yourself to design much in the manner that programmers get exposed to open source code.

Once you start seeing things created by designers, you'll start to understand what reflects your personal taste and hopefully you begin to develop a coherent opinion.

Give serious thought/time to UI/UX from a functional standpoint. I highly recommend Tufte's treatises on data visualization as a way of thinking about how to model and present data to your users as well.

Next you'll want to begin doing lots of mock-ups, preferably with actual HTML/CSS/JS. Now you can start respinning designs of existing projects you've worked on, and re-do them in a way you're proud of.

Invest enough time, hammer out enough work, you should start producing thngs you can be proud of.

Just like code.

It took me a while to make the jump. I started by earning my dues working too hard for two little pay with some small-time clients early on. I built up a decent portfolio that I could show off and started using that to market myself. I sent it as a link to adds I saw on craigslist. I did a couple projects on spec that I worked really really hard on and sent links to the company offering it for free. You'd think that would be a huge risk, and frankly, it is. But in fact, both of the times I did it, I got major clients. Kept building myself from there.

Not at all, it's primed me well for an upcoming project that might turn into Startup #2.

I'm not taking the best path for making the most money (risk coefficient * CHEESE!), but time spent learning as much as I have and enjoying doing so is well spent.

It's a value proposition, with variables to weigh on each side.

If you value security, it's not likely to be a good idea for you. If you're risk insensitive, then the economic insecurity isn't likely to bother you as much.

If you like being able to go party week in, week out with your friends like clockwork with nothing likely to disturb your social schedule, less of a good idea to do a startup.

If you're obsessed with building a product that solves real problems for people, more of a good idea to do a startup.

Just know yourself, where your values and priorities lie. Be honest, then you'll know if it's something you really want to do.

As they say "a life without regrets is a life not worth living". I don't know if you could term any of my side projects as startups but that was what was in my mind as I plugged away at them until they failed or fizzled out.

I've no regrets about building those things, I learned a lot and applied that knowledge next time round. I regret certain decisions like spending a beautiful summers weekend working on code no one would use instead of spending it with my friends and family and building something a bit more MVC. But that's how I learn so ultimately to regret it would be to constantly beat myself up.

Had the impact of those decisions been bigger maybe I'd have regrets, I don't know.
This has already been proved by themeforest.net years ago with their admin templates
I'm told that WoW works pretty well in Wine, so I wouldn't think those are valid reasons. Warden only has to inspect the running game process, which does not require root. It also looks at the list of running processes, which doesn't require root.

AFAIK it doesn't require root/administrator on Windows and Mac either.
There's a qualitative difference here, which is that the emailed file will be permanently backed up and synced to all other computers which have your Dropbox installed. When you're on those other N computers, you don't have to go to your inbox to download the file N times, not to mention edits on any one computer will be synced also.
Even Dropbox has stagnated, IMO. Still no granular access control. I still can't share a document as read-only. I know they claim it's because each OS handles access controls differently, but it seems nuts to me that I can host the same file on S3 as download-only with an expiring link.

Dropbox is great for personal sync across devices, but it still isn't a group file sharing solution. Again, my opinion, but I think it ought to be both.

Sure, but my point is that if you determine you need 100% uptime and you are currently on Heroku, you are going to need to build a complete non-Heroku system to fail over to. At that point should you A) pick another high level PaaS provider and maintain two very different stacks, each of which is commanding a high premium, or B) build on a standard Linux stack that can be deployed to multiple completely separate clouds?
Facebook, expected to sell stock on the open market
Here's my hack, that may not be acceptable to everyone: pay cash for your car, settle for whatever you can afford, pay yourself car payments. Buy something ugly.
I stared with an $800 POS and made it last for 3 years...I paid myself a modest $250/month "car payment" during that time, so I ended up with $9k in cash. Finally got tired of driving that thing and it just wouldn't die, so I kept an eye out for used cars in my new price range. It took a while because I was just searching off and on, but eventually I found an especially ugly Scion xB (bright yellow edition) that had been on the market for a few months with no interest, so they were already asking significantly less than KBB value, since I was paying cash I got them to take even less for it (after having my mechanic look at it of course).
Of course if you mind having a goofy looking car, this strategy might not save quite as much money.

True. Clearly their time is divided into doing so many of those themes.

Instead, if they did a (or a few) authoritative themes with compass css with such good documentation as bootstrap and their theme works at all resolutions, I'm sure people will use that one too.

Yeah, I avoid it, in part because it's not even clear that the correct meaning is correct. Originally question-begging and circular reasoning were subtly different fallacies, but they're rarely distinguished anymore. If it's a case where "circular reasoning" (or perhaps "assuming the conclusion") works, those are clearer terms imo.
Gifting You Ought to Perfect this Art
Gifting is a time-tested method to build relationships as well as sustain them over a reasonable length of time. Starting with birthday gifts to anniversary gifts, gifts given for bringing fame and name to oneself, institution and organization to simply gifting someone (or a set of people for that matter) you are visiting for the first time, first child, etc, the reasons are many and varied.

> "Or, let's say, find 5 other people around me who want to play some 3 on 3 basketball, or a squash partner, whatever."

I don't think that's really the "people around you" concept he's talking about. There are lots of social sites out there that will find activity partners and groups in your city - Meetup being the most salient example. The "people around you" services are the ones that go "user123 is 3 blocks away!". Hyper-local, if you will.

I'm hanging out with friends at a bar, I couldn't give two shits that cutegrrl123 is a block away and also likes chess. In fact, I'd be hard pressed to think of a single moment in my life where "meet a random stranger based on an algorithm" is a substantially more attractive option than what I'm doing at that moment.

"user123 likes chess and challenges you to a game this week" might work

"user123 is two blocks away and wants to play chess right the hell now" is not a really good use case

This is a concept that really only works in your head - every implementation of it has landed somewhere between "creepy" and "really useless".

> What matters in software: creating value, shipping product to the end user. What matters to software engineers: just about everything else, for some reason.

Because, apart from creating Business Value, some of us actually like the process. It's often the act of building, not the final product, that gets people to become software engineers. So please, cut us some slack here. More fun = motivated (happy) developer = better developer = more business value.

Except if you read the bio, that's apparently not the reason he gave. It's because there are far more mid-level engineers over there. Not quite degree standard, but good enough to oversee production processes.
I've been a Flickr Pro user for a number of years now, but this year I didn't renew my subscription. The reason was that I realised, I didn't need all the social crap that goes with Flickr. If I want to share photos for viewing with my friends and Family it pretty much happens on Facebook now as they don't 'get' Flickr.

I still needed somewhere to backup photos online however (because I'm paranoid like that), so I jumped on the SnapJoy Beta the day they announced it and I'm getting on with them quite well at the moment. It'd be nice if they had some kind of Facebook integration so I could share photos straight from SnapJoy to FB without having to upload them twice but I can live without that at the moment as long as I know my photos are safe.
Amazon killing off PayPhrase. Anyone know why?
I just got an email from Amazon stating that "On or about February 20, 2012, Amazon PayPhrase will no longer be available as a way to checkout at Amazon.com".

A quick search doesn't bring up any insights. I think it's a great feature (my daughter uses it for her allowance). Anyone know why they're killing it?
You can write proprietary software if you purchase a Qt license

As of at least a year or two ago Qt as been LGPLv2 and thus you can write proprietary software with the free Qt license as well. The only thing you can't do (without releasing your code) is make changes to Qt itself.
But there is such a thing as over-specialisation. The 'long tail' niche is a myth when you have a gorilla that provides an adequate solution. And especially in a small country (i.e., market) and anything social (effectively lots of teeny tiny markets) getting the sort of volume to make it sustainable is going to be almost impossible.

I imagine New Zealand is a similar market as the Netherlands. Here, TradeMe.co.nz completely owns the second-hand sales market (eBay/craigslist). If you want to sell something, that's where you go because you know that's where all the buyers are. Sure it's not a targeted social app for textbooks, but who cares, you don't need it to sell a textbook!
Ugly now beats beautiful later.

An elegant solution requires a deep understanding of a problem, and that understanding takes a lot of data (awareness of cases), and then a lot of time and effort to create a simple theory of it and to create a simple solution embodying that theory.
The proof is not far. See their last report here: http://www.vpri.org/pdf/tr2011004_steps11.pdf Also, a good deal of their code is accessible here: http://vpri.org/fonc_wiki/index.php/Installation_Guide

As far as I can tell, several things can explain how they fit a whole library in a single book (assuming 50 lines per page, 400 page books, 10.000 books in a library). First, the use of dedicated languages instead of C and C++ seems to explain 2 orders of magnitude. The 2 remaining ones are explained by feature creep and plain lack of reuse (in the Franck system for instance, they use a single library to draw everything, from characters in a word processor to the frames of the windows.)

They also claim specific achievements: a full self-implementing compilation stack in less than 2Kloc, on top of which implementing something like Javascript or Prolog takes less than 200 lines (see http://piumarta.com/software/maru for actual code). A Lex/Yacc equivalent in 400 lines or so (see http://www.tinlizzie.org/ometa/ for actual code). A Cairo equivalent that run with acceptable performance in about 500 lines. A TCP-IP stack in 160 lines, stable enough to run a web site.

If half of that is true, we can effectively talk about a silver bullet. That bullet won't kill the complexity werewolf of course, but it will seriously cripple it.

Yeah, I'll give GMail that. Yahoo's image handling does seem a little hit and miss - I've got some senders to always show, somehow, but it's not as good.

But every time I use GMail now I find myself using keyboard shortcuts from Yahoo and wondering why they don't work. The interface jusst seems ugly and crude. Filtering I don't find as good - sorry, I've tried their labelling system, I disagree it's better and the setup interface is poor. I've noticed the spam folder grabs a lot more false positives, too.

GMail is good, sure, but I odn't in any way regard it as a stand-out leader. Yahoo Mail may not be improving as fast as we'd like but it's frankly still a very good product.
Yes, it looks like the docs are lagging behind the code. You just need to include the icon-something class in a tag.

It kind of happened with Wordpress and Drupal default themes but the web is too big to go really that way and technology evolves very quickly, so today it's Twooter Bootstrap but tomorrow it will be NewFadCorp Boostrap.

They won against Asana for the best cloud service, from a technology perspective this is a joke.
I found that things which the end user will consider as 'beautiful' or 'natural' are very hard to express in simple, elegant code. The way our computers work just does not lend itself to creating stuff that looks naturally to a human being.

Take an iPhone app for example: The simple, elegant way to implement a page change in the Mail app would be a to just switch the page like this:

currentPage = pages[nextIndex];

However, when you look at the actual app, you see that it's not just a simple flip. The previous page flies out to the left, the next page flies in, there are at least 5 different tweenings happening to move the navigation buttons, page title, etc.

The resulting code is probably far from what you would call simple and elegant.
That was an incredible read. Thanks for the link.
> People should have control over their creations long enough to make it worth the effort.

We don't actually know that it would enhance authorship. Current restrictions on copying also heavily restrict authorship -- because most authorship could have been derivative works, and those are disallowed.

So it is not clear whether we're helping authorship or destroying it, and I'm betting on the latter.

Also, authors have control over their works until they distribute them -- and that is enough to make money. Maybe it would make significantly less money, but that too isn't clear that it will not be enough to be worth the effort.
