Oh, awesome, a knowledgeable reply to my "using HN as my bookmarking app" submission! :) Not the author btw.

3) indeed, but I was just interested in getting SDL+OpenGL to work together (from Go rather than C no less) -- from that point of course, it's shaders all the way down and no fixed-function pipeline as the author seems to be using

1) and 2) yes absolutely agreed. I'm aware of this but good thing you're pointing it out to other readers of the article.
This case has everything to do with GoDaddy, and probably nothing to do with the US government.
YouTube links do open the YouTube app, but embedded YouTube videos also work just fine inline. If you open youtube.com in the browser, videos also play in the browser. Vimeo and other video sites also play directly in the browser, no app required.

You can't play Flash video in the browser, but that doesn't mean you can't play video in the browser.
I've used the Galaxy Nexus, it very rarely stutters, but it's still laggy. Note the distinction - Android 4.0 can keep a consistently high framerate on the newest dual-core hardware, but there is still a noticeable delay between input and output.

This is most noticeable when dragging things around - the output always trails your finger movement by just that much - not enough to appear extremely egregious, but enough that iOS still feels more responsive.

Google has done great work, but they ain't done yet.
>modifying a large collection, at the moment, can trigger the entire collection to re-render which can be extremely expensive.

How large is large enough to cause problems?

Someone once told me that "the future is already here, it just takes 5 or so years before it is recognized".

This is not news to most serious athletes or trainers. I'd go so far as to say this is really par for the course and old-hat at this point. Unless you are an endurance athlete, no one is advocating long durations anymore. And, particularly for the average person, this is a much more manageable and, frankly, approachable solution.

The average person would get much, much more out of tabata kettlebell swings, tabata mountain climbers tabata jump rope than running 6 miles.

The exception I'm thinking of here is if you are a serious body builder, you might be doing long duration walks (30-60 minutes) as your cardio. These people are trying to spare as much muscle as possible while reducing bodyfat to crazy low levels. Some BB like to stay away from intense, short duration cardio b/c they think it might cut into some of their muscle gains. I can't say I've seen science support this, but this is an exception I can think of.
Symbian was also designed with integration with hardware in mind and providing core API's for manufacturers and carriers to build a UI on top of. This is why the early owners of Symbian were a plethora of manufacturers and operators. Symbian even tried to designate 3 specific UI frameworks (touch, candybar and QWERTY) named Quartz, Pearl and Crystal.. but the shareholders revolted and went their own UI way (hence S60, UIQ & MOAP).

Disclosure: I worked at Symbian between 1999-2003
I kinda agree. Android desktop should be the next linux desktop.

Web developers aren't always altruistic and some even have some business sense. Not that I agree with the what the 60 minutes site did (at least provide a link to go to the full site!), but pushing a mobile app will give them the opportunity to make money off of app fees (or app subscription services, or ads, or better data, or whatever).
This form of law enforcement is wrong on so many aspects.

Out of online community, these kinds of law violations are handled in a more sanely fashion. For instance, if a firms one department has a law violator, law enforcers makes a case against the violators in obscurity and proceed to handle violators trying to be as low damaging as possible. They won't block any roadblocks that leads to every building or holding to that firm and try to exclude any not related property or individual. But the things are different on the Internet. It's ridiculous. The law enforcers treat online entities like there is no business going around and every business is crime oriented. So they just go forth and block every way of execution of the entity.

We must stand against this.

Also this is an ongoing trend over the world. And seems like it won't end any time soon.

Governments are revolting against the Internet.
I think they believe Internet is becoming uncontrollable , so they are trying to make every ridiculous move to make online entities miserable so they will settle with hard control instead of these unbelievable ones and be happy.
Aapas ki baat – 15th february 2012
Yep exactly, and that was why the Symbian Alliance formed. It was to prevent microsoft from doing what they did to the PC world. This is also one of the reasons ARM thrived instead of Intel.

The other lesson that is still being battled is patents, Internet protocol is essentially free. Wireless is not.

The other main difference is carriers, they are the gatekeepers to the valuable, yet resource limited spectrum that mobile phones need and therefore have a much larger control over the value chain than ISPs do for the Wired Internet.
On my Galaxy Nexus I have an option "Load the Desktop version of this site". I don't see this option in the new Chrome Beta though. On iOS I had to jailbreak and install an SBSettings toggle to change Safari's UA, which restarted it, but then it worked more reliably than the one in my Android. But yeah, not having to root or jailbreak and getting the functionality I need is one of the long list of reasons I will never look back to Apple's ecosystem. The future is open, the future is web apps, and there is no place for closed ecosystems no matter how rich or extensive they may look now. Give people open tools and we can have more web apps than app store has apps in a very rapid time.
"Not sure what happens if you don't have the app installed - does it ask you to download the app instead?"

FWIW Apple handles this by preinstalling and not allowing you to remove the YouTube app.

For other use cases there are a couple of ad-hoc systems that guide you to the App Store, namely a Game Center invite for a game that's not installed and plugging in an accessory that has a companion app that's not installed.
Am I the only one who has slightly less sympathy with this company for staying on the shitty webhost known as godaddy? Even after the SOPA debacle? You wait until they affect you personally before doing the right thing?

Shoulda shown solidarity. That's what you get.

This is a good reminder that startups need to have a basic legal gameplan as well as an engineering and financial one.
This isn't just on tablets but all mobile devices to some extent. People assume a context based on the browser's user agent string. A good tradeoff is a banner at the top of the page, with a link to the app.

I've also seen people remove information from a site for mobile users as its less important. If content isn't important to show to some users then it's likely it shouldn't be shown at all.

Another assumption web developers make is that mobile users won't be browsing certain pages that advertise a mobile site or app. I've seen many blog posts saying "check out our new mobile sites at m.example.com", using the bold tag to show its a URL instead of an HTML link.
My pet peeve is deep links that get redirected to the mobile home page.

That and sites that open in "mobile mode" on a tablet. 10x7 should be plenty of pixels for your normal site.

> The hardest part of building advanced mobile phones, he reasoned, was writing the lower-level software that the operating system uses to communicate with the hardware, including the radio baseband and audio/video controllers

Wouldn't that hardware- and network-specific code be more easily written by the handset manufacturers and network providers than a third-party software (only) company?
They're a scourge. In Terms of overall annoyance, it's ironic that Apps are quietly ecoming the new Flash.
it is totally awesome when sites offer a crappy ancient mobile version of the site that doesn't actually remember the page you wanted to go to.

it is even more offen when they offer a crazy javascript version of the site that crashes if you try to "swipe" to the next page.
Let everybody interact in the way they want. That is freedom of choice. And the secret lies in the interfaces and protocols. I can read email in many different ways. That is the freedom the protocol gives me. It is open, well documented and wide spread.

We should strive to support open protocols instead of closed APIs which are controlled by single companies.

Then everybody can use whatever User Interface they prefer and everbody can come up with new User Interfaces any time.

The AIM/ICQ/MSN vs. XMPP world illustrates this principle. Even if someone supports the closed protocols with a multi protocol client, the support eventually gets deliberately broken by the controlling party.

Protocols are way more important than the currently popular implementation of it.
Heh, that was exactly my reaction. I was literally reading the statement out loud to a friend of mine as we talked about it and stopped midsentence and said "ha! godaddy. No wonder."

But that wasn't because Godaddy supported SOPA, although that does make me feel shadenfreude, it's because I used to work in the domaining industry. I honestly thought that even average web site operators with limited knowledge about registrars would know not to have your business domain on Godaddy. Even accounting for their scale there are a lot of shady episodes like this.

The SOPA part is just icing on the cake they were eating instead of doing their due diligence.
That whole internet/hyperlink/REST thing that we developed over the last 20 years? That was just a stop gap while we transitioned from mouse pointers to capacitive touch screens. Now that we point with our fingers instead of our hands, we need to reinvent the architecture of shared information.

Founder of JotForm here. I’d like to thank you all for your sympathy.

JotForm.com has been suspended by Godaddy for more than 24 hours now. They have disabled the DNS without any prior notice or request. They have told us the domain name was suspended as part of an ongoing law enforcement investigation. In order to resolve the issue, they asked us to contact the officer in charge at U. S. Secret Service.

When I contacted the Secret Service, the agent told me she is busy and she asked for my phone number, and told me they will get back to me within this week. I told them we are a web service with hundreds of thousands of users, so this is a matter of urgency, and we are ready to cooperate fully. I was ready to shutdown any form they request and provide any information we have about the user. Unfortunately, she told me she needs to look at the case which she can do in a few days. I called her many times again to check about the case, but she seems to be getting irritated with me. At this point, we are waiting for them to look into our case.

Our guess is that this is probably about a phishing form. We take phishing very seriously. Our Bayesian phishing filter has suspended 65.000 accounts last year. We have been training it for many years, so it can detect phishing forms with great accuracy. We also take any reports about phishing very seriously and quickly suspend the accounts and let the other party know about it. By the way, we are also very serious about false positives. If we suspend an account accidentally, we will quickly resolve the issue, and apologize.

I believe this can happen to anybody who allows users to create content on the web. So, if you have such business, my recommendation would be to make sure that you can contact your most active users quickly if your domain is disabled. Many of our users are shocked and angry at us. But, many also thanked us for quickly letting them know about the issue by email and providing instructions to continue operating their forms. Since DNS propagation takes some time, many active users were able to switch their forms to the new domain before it went down. We still have not contacted all users, we are sending emails most active users first.

How To Estimate Properly: What to Steal from Agile

How to Analyze Java Thread Dumps
I’m a regular on the Boston startup scene; I'm also a native Bostonian.

We have tons of smart people; everybody knows that. And there’s a kind of a startup culture here. But, like a lot of
things about Boston, it is its own thing. Once you leave the Kendall/MIT area of Cambridge or the Innovation District in Boston, you'd never know we had lots of startups in the area. I've been to San Francisco many times; the startup culture is everywhere there.

There’s the lingering feeling of losing Facebook and, more recently, Dropbox and Stripe—one Collision brother attended
MIT; the other went to Harvard.

There’s a constant brain drain to other places, particuarly the west coast. I know of people who left Boston for weeks at a time to get funding and engineering talent in San Francisco. There’s quite a bit of that New England financial conservatism compared to the West Coast.

People often underestimate the little things: it’s hard to make friends outside of a startup or academic setting. I
hear this constantly from people who are here for school or work, including startups. Even in Cambridge with MIT and
Harvard, it’s hard getting real food after 10pm.

Need to stay late on a project? Sorry, public transportation stops at around 12:30 am; the MBTA is threatening to stop
commuter rail service at 10pm during the week for those going to the suburbs.

Want to blow off some steam after a long day of pitches, meetings and coding? Massachusetts outlawed happy hour years ago. Most bars and clubs close at 1am in Cambridge and 2am in Boston. How about a six pack at the 7-Eleven? Sorry, we don't do that here. I could go on, but you get the idea.

Boston is my home; I’ll be right here when I do a startup. But it’s going to take a lot of work to get things to where they need to be. We might have to lose another household name before there’s a real sense of urgency about it.

Is it just me that finds this suggestion offensive. Maybe the Indians had already thought about that and since they were already taking g as 10 m/sec^2, they thought that the difference because of sound delay would be insignificant. As would be the variability in speed of sound near the water surface due to moisture.
Huh? I didn't see any mention of "conman". I hope you haven'tjust jumped from "walk with confidence" to "confidence man" to "conman".
... cisco?

We were having lots of trouble with our office ADSL, and decided to buy a cisco modem from our ISP ("because if they sell it, they must be able to support it, right?"). I was a bit nervous because I know a little about cisco gear, but not enough to be confident to configure a router.

This model was advertised as 'easy webif', and the ISP isn't a shoddy fly-by-nighter, so I took the gamble. Turns out the 'easy webif' was effectively IE-only and required java (refused to run in any of the linux browsers I tried)... took about a minute to intialise itself... and could barely configure the device (port forwarding? no, you can't do that here...). I have honestly never seen a worse webif in my life.

Ended up returning it. Discussing it with a friend, he said that the webif isn't ever supposed to be used, it's just there as a tickbox to satisfy beancounters.
I have been fortunate enough that when my bosses come to me and say "we want an iPhone app" I can explain why this is a bad business decision and they listen to me. A native app should not just be a little button for your web content.
Hey, fancy seeing this here! :)

A while ago, I submitted a request for feedback on a weekend project I had, designed to help you wake up more refreshed. I called it sleepyti.me [ http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1781423 ].

I didn't expect too much to come of it, since I created it originally to learn jQuery and for my own personal use. Through the feedback and improvements suggested from my HN post (and later a reddit post), I launched and became mildly popular on Reddit and StumbleUpon.

These days, I'm ramen profitable--a small webapp isn't a startup, but the supplemental income from the occasional banner click is nice. I serve approximately 30,000 hits per day according to Google Analytics, and I've been covered by several news outlets and blogs (LifeHacker, MSNBC, The Toronto Star, TheNextWeb, CNet and more). I even had a brief affiliate agreement with a YC company, but unfortunately the terms didn't serve either side as well as I would have liked--we parted amicably.

It seems that sleepyti.me has come full circle - HN was the first community to ever see the site in action. Without the encouragement of the few comments I received here and on reddit, as well as the inspiration of all the awesome projects HN members created, this never would have happened.

I'd be happy to answer any questions you guys have, or listen to any suggestions - I'm thinking about putting an FAQ on the site for common issues, but haven't gotten around to it yet.

I think the mildly-open nature of Android will be better marketing than Windows Phone - not overboard on openness, but not completely closed.

Hardware manufacturers and Cell providers won't support the extra cost of paying for the OS (in the long run).

This outcome isn't what I would like most, but it seems realistic.
I like this technique, and I think it would be appropriate to extend it other hierarchical types of data besides just text. For example, a product page might show a list of reviews, with each shown as x/5 stars, and zooming in on the reviews would show the review text. Same with product info - zoomed out = overview, zoomed in: more details appear. This would require zooming in on a specific section of a page though, not just making the entire page bigger. Imagine browsing an online store or search results by zooming in/out using a touch interface, rather than clicking on links to details/reviews/photos
China, Taiwan Both Lay Claim to Jeremy Lin
I'd love any feedback from anyone who has managed to make changes in how they estimate at work as a developer; too often the whole estimation process is decreed from the top downwards, and developers get too little say in improving project-level working practices.
This was an awesome blog. Thank you for writing this.
It's too uncommon to find this kind of article(rants) on Technology Review.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but... Backbone is great, but it's also just 600 lines of code aimed at addressing the things every single web app needs, right?

A complex web app, pretty much by definition is going to need some features that other web apps aren't going to need, not so? And those features are, according to the stated goals of Backbone, not going to be found in the core, right? (In fact, I seem to recall people asking for features their particular complex web app needed, and being told that stuff didn't belong in Backbone core...)

Boris' seems to be re-stating Backbones' mission statement, which I don't see being a knock on Backbone at all. And I'm really not sure what a list of people using Backbone is meant to prove. Boris is saying that any of those people using Backbone for complex apps will have to extend it a bit - which is one reason Backbone is made to be so easily extendable. Is that wrong?
