Once upon a time, smart, thoughtful people thought it was a good thing for different applications to make use of a common set of well thought out UI elements because it allowed users to leverage knowledge across many applications.

Some would say that it isn't a bad thing to have more of that on the web.

We have pretty quaint notions about FDI. Foreign capital is always looked at with distrust (at least by the older set of politicians) so there is a lot of political hand-wringing about how allowing 100% FDI in retail will destroy small traders, etc. Of course, this stance is also encouraged by food suppliers/speculators, so this will take some time to work itself out. But most people say allowing 100% FDI in retail is only a few months away. So Amazon might just be preparing ground for a eventual entry.

I have gone to work at a company within the industry I have built software for.

I have enlisted other companies within the industry to use our software before it is completed, so we can get it right before release.

My job is to help them reach required outcomes in the fastest and easiest way... this process has helped me to stop trying to imput what i think it best, which only clouds what customers really want to pay for.

Why do programmers work at night?
Thats true, but I think there could be a way around that if we had a domain name service for telephone numbers whereby instead of having to remember a 12-10 digit number with area codes for someone, we only need to remember a word or sentence and since a string (lower alphabet only) is base 26 it might be easier. Also could we not run out of phone numbers anyway like with ipv4?
Nice suggestions. I'd like to point out that there are already many great apps that improve hacker news: http://www.hnsearch.com/apps (many more on this thread).

conceptual link : chuck moore and green arrays' philosophy has always been that you cant simply scale the cpu, you have to scale the whole computer. Make them smaller and slower and less power hungry, but REALLY parallelise the computer itself: VLSI cluster computing basically. i increasingly believe that taking this philosphy forward is the right way to go, not intels "more than moore" or whatever ARM/MIPS has up their sleeve, they are bound to hit the same walls. Yes, the flagship greenarrays product the GA144 is not really a competitor yet, just a DSP, but its 144 complete computers squeezed onto a 1cm sq chip with a 180nm process. There is a lot of potential there imho.

I strongly advise you to leave whatever comfortable western nation you are living in and go on a walkabout for a while.

Hell, you are free to go and build a company that will do better.

What you lack is the perspective of these workers. Foxconn assembly job is an opportunity equivalent to a Ivy League diploma for most of these workers.

They have no intention to work this job 10-20 years. This is Chinese rural equivalent of doing a startup. Work for 2-3 years, build a nest egg, go to school/start your own business.

And working/living conditions are actually pretty good for Asian standards. No chemicals, clean environment. Yes hours are long, labor is hard, but the pay is phenomenal.

Let me finish with an anecdote. My neighbors grandfather was a emigrant miner for twenty years. He always told his wife, that when he made enough money, they would return to home country and she would never have to work. They did and bought a property with some land. One day they were working in the field and the wife complained that he promised she wouldn't have to work. He paused, looked her in the eye and said: "Honey, this is not work."

I would move from EMACS to Vim quite easily (I was a Vim user before I started learning Clojure) and I mirror the authors thoughts about just using SLIME as an in-editor REPL.

The problem for me is the fact that the SLIME REPL offers pretty decent tab-completion

Whereas lein-repl doesn't.

That's the only thing that's sort of keeping me on the EMACS side of the fence

Hi!

Long time reader, first time submitter.

I've finallllyy got my first webapp online. It's been a long time coming, I started it over a year ago and just been an hour here, a couple of hours here, and a period of a couple of months of nothing.

I first wrote it as a way to learn some python it sort of grew to fill a need I had. It's at a point now where I'd LOVE some feedback as I am going round in circules.

Please, it's free, just hit the home page, plugin in a name/email and url you want to links checked on.

If you use the name 'DeleteMe' I will remove the account after a week, so feel free to have a play.

Any and all feedback welcome.

I wouldn't liken tax evasion to letting someone use your apartment. I was really just speaking casually about how the situation would unfold. It's also a grey area since this is less of a sublet and more of a micro sublet (akin to letting a friend over for the night who buys you lunch in turn), which complicates the legality of it. Err on the side of caution I guess, but reading your lease agreement is obviously the best thing one can do.

You just describe the complete and utter failure of Nerdistan: While the nerds solve their problems by writing software that caters for their nerd-needs (version control, editors, fluffy frameworks just yo name a few) , the rest of the world should just learn to program themselves when they want to solve their problems ...

There is a way out of this echo chamber though: don't teach others to program but let them teach you about their field.

A software industry who only caters for itself (the "scratch your own itch" fallacy) is irrelevant. How many Basecamps do you need?

...so how would corporate banking systems get built?

Although I understand the sentiment, and have followed it with a number of my projects, an aweful lot of companies build and sell software that is not necesarily useful for their own purposes (banking, financial, retail etc).

A better and more general rule, and one that has been stated millions of times is simply its really REALLY important to known and understand your client*.

The client could be a 'normal' Internet user, or could be a multi-million dollar enterprise, but unless you understand them, you can forget trying to get money out of them! (and if they are a multi-million dollar enterprise, the people you need to sell to are very unlikely to be the people that actually use the system and you absolutely do need a mature product strategy and the necesary resources to even make a single sale).
Thanks for that its really appreciated!

Ask HN: how to interpret smoke test results?
Looking for early market validation re our startup idea, we did a simple smoke test: we created a facebook ads campaign, linked it to a launchrock page and looked to see what happened. We set a $20 daily budget and here came the results for our first day:
- On facebook : 139 clicks, click rate 0.039%
- On launchrock : 49 page views, 8 signups, 16.33% conversion rate

I've got 2 questions:
- Where did the 139-49 = 90 missing clicks go? Is facebook stealing from me?
- How good/bad are these numbers? Any valid point of comparison out there?
It's worth pointing out that in all cases you do still have local copies of the data and binaries required to run these games on your computer, even if your account is locked out of the Steam server. So, despite it being against the EULA (which you're possibly not beholden to after having been banned anyway), and also possibly against your local civil laws, you could always download a crack and continue playing anyway.

You're not "illegally downloading" the games, you're legally downloading someone else's software that just so happens to modify the server authentication aspects of the games of which you once owned the right to store on your hard disk. By running that software you are definitely breaking a EULA that you no longer care about, and you may or may not be breaking laws that you're incredibly unlikely to be caught or prosecuted for.

Your morality may differ, but I don't have a problem with this.

then you boot from recovery image - GRUB broke for me completly after routine debian update (imagine that!), and i fixed it using recovery images - you can also request LARA for up to 2h for free.
Another problem is that when developers decide to do their own startup, the only domain they really understand is software development.

I don't believe this to be true - most, if not all, developers have hobbies and interests. For example, I'm into photography, so I would much rather build a photography software that I would enjoy using rather than something to solve a carpenter's problem (just an example) that I don't really care about.

For me at least I find that the benefits for this is two-fold: one, like the author said, so that I can be my own critic as I possess the domain knowledge, and secondly, I'll be much more passionate about working on something that I care deeply about.

The point about pricing in particular is that there is a huge button in the middle of the page, and people are still not clicking it.

I haven't looked around to see what exists in that area so I can't compare it to anything I know of, but I quite like the uncluttered interface and the overall simplicity.

One thing though: your interface doesn't scale well with big screen resolutions - when viewport's x-size passes 1400px the right panel with the 'Create' button doesn't stick to the right edge of the screen.

This is extremely true. I remember at one point I get used to work till late and wake up late in the morning (aka, early in the afternoon), going to bed regularly at 6am and waking up at 2pm - at that point I literally shifted my day into another timezone. By working late, relaxed and concentrated, it easy to get you body used to it: the coolest thing is that it makes you get into the flow in a couple of minutes. And boom, I started one of the most productive period of my life.

And yes, I was really productive, and yes I did some really good coding, but I felt like I was messing up my life. I discovered the morning has a value, both from a health/social perspective, so now I'm constantly trying to sleep between 7/8 hours and sleep not later than 3am. And I'm imposing myself to get used to 2am in the next couple of weeks.

My recommendation is "Concrete Mathematics", by Graham, Knuth, and Patashnik. (http://www.amazon.com/Concrete-Mathematics-Foundation-Comput...)

It is excellently written, but by no means a light read. If you put in the time and effort, you will come out on the other side with a great foundation, and deep understanding and mastery of the topics.

However, it's definitely not an introductory book, and some background in math will be very helpful.
