Hm, but only as long as the saturation of "computers" is increasing rapidly. If you were to focus on a developed country with good smart phone penetration, I think it's possible that the percentage of coders is increasing as old people die and young people take to new technology more readily. I guess maybe it depends on where you draw the line between power user/script kiddie/programmer.
So I bought the app and checked it out. I may be cynical, but I also buy apps, (and my right to be cynical).

I made an image with the app just now:
http://i44.tinypic.com/aua3ic.jpg

Review: 3 stars
Good UX path on loading the app, guides you through steps. The designer of this app has done well to make a sensible interface, with only some work needed on the settings screen and the labeling choices there.

Replay value is another question. There's no sequencing layout tools or anything relating to more than the single image you're working on. Tools are not that powerful, but they do their job ok. It does one trick, and most people will probably use it one time.

Yep, the vector thing is pretty cool.

Now it just needs the ability to arrange and re-arrange multiple images, and swipe through them as a slideshow. Throw in a library of sound effects to assign each slide, with animated visual effects for little movie-making mobile graphic novels... and THEN it'd be a paid app worthy of promotion in my mind, but this is a good start.
Although this might prevent (a bit) that the phishers get the actual data and hence protect the victims, I am pretty sure that it won't cause any drop in phishing attempts. However for the legitimate users it will probably have a huge negative impact.

It's comparable to trying to stop spam in forums/blogs by disabling url's in posts. Usually you'll get the same number of spam posts, but the url's will be plain text.
Simple tool to share plans visually over email.
As much as I like the team behind OnSwipe (Jason L Baptiste and Mark Bao in particular), I have to agree with you, unfortunately. Whenever I get this OnSwipe thing replacing a page that was perfectly good and readable, I almost always click back without reading (once the cpu-intensive javascript pauses long enough to allow me to do so).

What's really weird is that the result of OnSwipe being applied is actually a page that is significantly MORE broken. The reason I've developed a habit of clicking back is because I often can't read the article anyway, since the scrolling is usually broken in some annoying way (keeps jumping around, not smooth, etc). This is exceptionally bad considering that the underlying page would almost certainly work just fine.

He mentions vi/emacs. I am pretty much in love with vim, and I anticipate never using another editor for my daily work. This will certainly prevent me from discovering the joys of Microsoft's latest toolchain. On the other hand, I think it makes a much wider world of programming accessible because of the richness of the Unix world.

I freely admit that being very familiar with older tools and paradigms will make me unfairly biased against new approaches that may in fact be objectively better. But network effects being what they are, I'm not particularly keen on striking out after novel approaches (Plan 9 sounds like a massive improvement on Unix paradigms, but whose got the time?).

Of course I don't really have a problem shipping. I tend to keep my eye on the ball, sharpening tools only as an occasional distraction, so I guess the article isn't directed at me.

UK Unemployment Continues To Edge Up
Recession bites and its after effects are seen in all walks of life. Same is the case with unemployment, once it seeps in then the whole economy of the country is affected. The two seem to be very correlated as greater the unemployment nearer is the time for recession and vice versa. Here we aren’t talking about a few thousand but a few million who are unemployed and that too in a much developed economy for a country like United Kingdom.

That fraction will only get smaller in the years to come as mobile devices get cheaper and more capable.

I doubt this statement. The number of people that write code is bound to increase in the future, not become smaller. And that has (among other things) to do with mobile devices getting cheaper and more capable. And generally with further increase of automation / software complexity. And with more people that want to be producers instead of consumers in the computer age...

I've also had both SandForce and Intel (310, 320, 520, and 710!) SSDs fail -- the issue is not running out of cycles (which could be predicted, or mitigated by buying more Enterprise style SSDs), but rather weird controller errors.

One (milli-)second the drive is totally fine, then the next it is just gone. Magnetic disks usually give some warning, and usually fail for mechanical vs. controller reasons.

I still use SSDs, but am constantly wary, especially in the first month of a new drive's service.
It was indeed against the developer agreement to do this.

But more importantly, we simply don't know whether Android is actually protecting customers or not.

If people are just clicking through a warning and having their address book copied against their wishes, that may technically shift responsibility onto them, but it doesn't mean they are 'protected' by a 'correct' platform. It just means that Android is protected from accusations.
From the top of my head:

Gut feeling: Definitely In-App purchases. Don't collect upfront. Which portion to make free and which paid? Just test it and ask other app-makers. Jamie Oliver's on that model for example. Conversion against the higher ranking in the store will be key measures. I'd be interested in the results :)

1) Sponsoring/Ads:
I love what you're doing on the ThisWeekIn Network, but I have no clue how that could apply to Mahalo, and what the economics behind that are.

Since you're not focused on a particular niche or vertical or horizontal (I don't know if horizontal exists, but I'll use it for let's say "very sophisticated crowd" like TED), sponsoring probably isn't really a scalable option, because it'll take a lot of work I'm guessing.
Ads and multiple channels is what you're doing right now? Video eCPM for less targeted ads alone not high enough for the quality of content you produce I guess..?

2) Subscription:
Again, subscription, I think, will only work if you get the brand associated with: this is where I can get content on ANYTHING I want to learn in high quality.., which then makes it convenient enough to pay for it - just think of that value.., but it's difficult to achieve.

OR it will work if you're able to focus on certain verticals.
OR

3) Become a reseller/bundler?
maybe even think of doing biz-dev with existing learning platforms already out there and combine them into a subscription where for $15-29 you get "ALL" of them. Justify it with your (I assume huge?) library. Then do biz-dev with books/dvds/universites so that they come with free months. Universities are always great for selling education. When something is REALLY good, it spreads like wildfire between students because they just communicate a LOT more.. (think dropbox) - students want a high degree of free in freemium though :P (dropbox leveraged that in their marketing, btw)..

pretty mixed thoughts, but maybe it helps..

An example of the influence of conservatism is the fact that important parts of GNU/Linux (e.g., all of the terminal-emulation applications) rely on pseudo terminals (PTYs). In contrast, Plan 9's kernel never supported PTYs and Plan 9's analog to a terminal emulator (namely, the thing you use to interact with a shell) never relied on them -- and Plan 9 started in the mid-1980s. There is a real terminal emulator available on Plan 9 (called vt100 IIRC) but it is implemented entirely in userland and nothing else in a typical Plan 9 install depends on it.

Yes, there is benefit to being able to get kernel messages during boot over an RS-232 link, but note that the whole infrastructure of TERMCAP files and cursor addressing is not needed for that capability, and yet TERMCAP files and cursor addressing remain an integral part of Linux -- if your TERMCAP file is misconfigured or your TERM environment variable is set wrong, you might be unable to get to a shell prompt.

Part of the reason this "cursor addressing" infrastructure is still integrated into IIUC all of the important distros is that reducing technical debt in a distro is a thankless task, but (since the complete dominance of the ncurses library for cursor addressing makes ("made"? Mabye ncurses is no longer completely dominant -- I've been away from Linux for a few years) it fairly easy to remove TERMCAP files, etc, from the set of things that have to be configured correctly to get to a shell prompt) I think that part of the reason that if your TERMCAP file is messed up, you might not be able to get a shell prompt is the hesitancy to change the design of the parts of a distro that come from the Unix of Bell Labs in the 1970s, which is frequently talked about in reverential tones.

(Yes, I know that cursor addressing might not date back to the 1970s, but it does date back to the 1980s and is now considered fairly integral to one of the things (the PTY) that was in Unix from the beginning.)

Note that it is possible for Linux to suffer from conservatism and from unnecessary design churn at the same time. For example, the design churn might be restricted to the parts of Linux that do not come from the Unix of the 1970s.

For a second example of conservatism in Linux, consider the persistent of /usr as discussed recently in

It also seems like the salt here is not actually a salt, but a secret key.

I'm confused. If you store confirmation code, and lookup users by it, why it should be SHA1 instead of a random string?

All HN Posters Should Stop Doing This Immediately.

I wonder, if it's just a lacking sense of communication.

For example, a friend of mine sends me emails like "Do you have a minute. I've got a question.", "There's something we should talk about.", without mentioning what's the actual purpose of his messages. I would expect at least a keyword. More than once I tried to stop him from doing this - without success.

A very interesting example of relatively lesser-known scientific innovations. It is a surprisingly rare knowledge. In fact, it is one of the evidences scientists use to refute the claim of the moon-landing deniers.

It is also worth mentioning that this project has now been axed (in 2009 to be precise) as the mirrors have gotten dusty and no longer provide the same worth of scientific data they used to [1]. The above post was written in 2004, long before such problems surfaced.

The complete and utter inability to come up with a consistent, modern, human-readable, non-arbitrary directory structure comes to mind. People are so blinded by the arbitrarily "designed" [1] FHS they refuse to even entertain the idea that it might just be time to replace it with something better.

Is this a Y Combinator tier startup idea?
The advantage of a PTY paradigm is that there is simply an input/output stream consisting of text and control commands, which can be transparantly sent over the network (ssh), over a RS-232 link (embedded debugging), and so on.

What would you propose as a replacement? There have been ideas of using HTML/JS, streams and objects instead (see TermKit), among other things. Which certainly has some advantages. But for most things, the current terminal works fine. The terminal is mainly used as fallback anyway, new developments mostly focus on GUIs.

Don't get me wrong: it would be great if people agreed on one TERMCAP format and threw away the rest (just like I'd love people to just settle on UTF-8 encoding for text). But that seems to be the case in recent distro's. They work out of the box. I haven't had to bother with TERMCAP settings in Linux in like 10 years... with Solaris it's a different issue...

And I agree that the /usr directory structure being cleaned up was long due.
That's a good takeaway.

One of my mentors is the organizer of an invite-only meetup which I really wanted to go to, and while he did add me at the last second to the invite list, I didn't get a badge. I simply acted as if I belonged (which I did), and I got by security, into the afterparty, etc.
