I consider this a new business model for a very select few established developers. However, I think Kickstarter can be used to gauge interest in a product, before you invest resources in developing it only to lose money in the end. This is very important, and I am sure that it will work as a great reality check for many naïve people who "just want to make videogames". It is much easier to revise why your project campaign was unappealing rather than coming to the conclusion at the end of a one- or two-year development cycle.

With Steam available and guys like Valve who go above and beyond to help their developers by doing things like handing out 50k keys to them upon request, developers have the best distribution platform imaginable, which means that the logistics are no longer something to worry about.

It's a great time to be an independent developer.

my todo list: cat todo

my done list: git log
It's read that way, but semantically, it refers to an actual thing in computer science, so it's not just a cute name.
I rely very heavily on todo lists at work. I'm responsible for a large amount of code and feature requests come in from all over, that have to be balanced with the overarching goals for developing the project.

My notetaking method: Pen and paper - copious amounts of paper, each with a monotonically increasing number in the corner. I have two 22" 1080p monitors in landscape mode, so that leaves room for a (full-height) file tree and two text buffers on the left screen, and a web browser and two console windows on the right screen - i'm not going to sacrifice any of those for note-taking software when i have the ultimate in note-taking hardware right in front of me.

My approach is basically, write down any tasks, regardless of how big and small. Be consistent yet flexible with the page layout. Every so often, take a break from work and cross off things that are complete; if a page is mostly crossed out, manually rewrite the remaining things onto a new page. This forces you to look back over old feature requests and evaluate them again in a modern context, rather then just having them build up in a bug tracker.

Some context: there is an entire neuroscientific field of study devoted to substituting one sensory modality with another: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sensory_substitution

The field was pioneered by Paul Bach-y-Rita (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Bach-y-Rita) who most notably invented a setup that allowed blind people to "see" via a camera connected to a vibrating grid attached to their their backs, effectively substituting visual with haptic input.

In a nutshell, there is nothing intrinsically "visual" about neurons in the visual cortex, nor are neurons in the, e.g., auditory cortex exclusively tuned towards sound - the brain is plastic enough to "make sense" of a new type of input signal, which typically takes a couple of weeks.

My co-founder Peter König at EyeQuant.com - a neuroscience professor at the University of Osnabrueck - is working on similar projects with his feelspace group, where they created a compass-belt that vibrates whereever north is, taking sensory substitution a step further by effectively creating a new sensory modality of direction (Wired article: http://www.wired.com/wired/archive/15.04/esp.html)

As an excellent philosophical take on this I would recommend Alva Noe's "Action in Perception":
http://www.amazon.com/dp/0262140888/
Same here, a small demo or a gallery of sorts would help a lot here.

Impressive that you did this in 24 hours, good job!
What I find funny is that the article really argues for Done lists in conjunction with todo lists rather than replacing todo lists.

A better article might have been "Why To-Do Lists Need Done Lists".

Yeah, initially I had posted the link to the Yahoo Developer blog page announcing the same. But then I thought it would be apt to provide the link to the github repo itself , since the readers would feel more interested in the actual stuff !!

> in a job, it really doesn't matter whether you are a man or a woman, as long as you do good work, that is enough to get you blended in.

Try telling this to the women doing the same work as men but being paid less; and not getting promotions; and not even getting the jobs in the first place - all just because they are women.

> To not feel like an outsider in a place, is to precisely NOT do what these articles seem to be suggesting - singling yourselves out.

Strongly agree with this.
One thing I would add is I'm not sure how great search engines are at decoding domain names into keywords. I mean some search engines might understand howto.com would relate to the keywords "how to" but some might just read it as "howto".

Because of that I'd say go for howto.com/how-to-drink.
People should note that removing this "hack " removes arguably useful user functionality such as the facebook like button (or at least the social recommendations part) too.
HK is prospering
It's not hard to track you even this way, if you're using the same browser. You already have a unique code assigned to you (the session id) and they can make a permanent cookie too, so it will be the same the next time you open the browser. When you login, they just link everything together. I'm not saying they're doing it, but it's not hard to do. Of course, there are ways to avoid that, like using different browsers or removing cookies. And even this way, they can link your data with pretty with high accuracy if they use your ip and time (how many people that are on the same IP, that is known to belong to an ISP and not a corporate ip range shop on the same time on the same site?).
That is a great point. I only just realised that it could easily get confusing. To do lists have their place, no doubt about it. Done lists are a fairly new concept and work extremely well in conjunction with them, just like you mentioned. Will remember that for future posts, thanks man.
Good idea.

Or maybe even going down the "subreddit" route, i.e. a separate section for Apple content, Python hacking, SOPA/PIPA etc. In other words, create a "bucket" for the general high-level, recurring HN topics and allow users to pick which ones they want to see and those they don't.

>Is the color->note map arbitrary or is there some logic behind it?

One way of doing this would be to map from the electromagnetic wavelength of the color to a corresponding audible frequency.

Audible range is something like 32 to 32768 Hrz. Assuming speed of sound in air of 343 m/s, this translates to wavelength range of 0.010437 to 10.6875 m . This can then be mapped onto the visible spectrum of 390 to 750 nm.

light_range = (750 * 10^-9) - (390 * 10^-9)

sound_range = 10.6875 - 0.010437

light_wavelength = (light_range * ((343 / sound_freq) - 0.010437) / sound_range) + (390 * 10^-9)
So much bullshit in one article. I mean the technical issue of tracking is probably correct, but it is not a Google vs Apple thing. Every website you visit on the web does it's utmost to track the hell out of you. That is an issue, but Google is not doing anything else than everybody else. I still don't like it, but this article just distorts the issue into something completely different.
Stories about making continuous income are preferred.
This is slightly tangential, but it seems Kickstarter has elicited some very good behavior from Double Fine--the game is to be DRM-free and will support Linux! I really want to see more games embrace both in the near future.

With that in mind, I wonder if Kickstarter could be the model for open source games in the future. Of course, getting people to pledge for a game that will end up free may be tricky, but I think it would be doable.
I agree with skippyZa, its just boasting to get attention.
Try telling this to the women...

There is very little evidence suggesting that the problems you describe are a serious problem in coding, so bringing up these hypothetical problems is a bit confusing.
Perhaps I have been really fortunate, as I haven't really seen/noticed women not getting promoted/paid less just because they are women. Maybe it's because I'm in the UK where we don't have much of those issues. I do apologise if I have been rather ignorant and appearing cold-blooded when it comes to the unfortunate female workers who do come across gender inequalities caused by bad management and company culture.

I think Done lists are probably a good way of staying motivated.

I guess I've kind of been doing it already as my last task of the day is to quickly write down what I've been working on during the day (not necessarily completed though).

Also the article mentions: "When smaller things are too easy to get done, smaller, less important things are all you will get done."

But I don't really see how Done lists help with this.
From ASP.NET MVC to Nancy - Part 1
This one's come up on HN a couple of times before - sensing EM fields via a fingertip-embedded magnet:
http://www.wired.com/gadgets/mods/news/2006/06/71087?current...

More sensitive EM field detection could be vaguely useful, but to be useful it would probably require a bit of pre-processing (e.g. scaling the entire frequency range of the currently used EM spectrum into a range we can hear, see or feel) and maybe some protocol-specific hardware (decoding radio, video, wireless etc).

Other interesting candidates for extra-human senses beyond just increasing the range and sensitivity of existing senses would be EM/light polarization (insects can see polarization in the sky, so they can navigate by the sun's direction even when it's hidden by clouds) and magnetic field direction (which exists in bacteria, invertebrates, and birds, and may exist in some mammals.)
The article makes it sound like a bad thing. Maybe unknown insecure people should not simply get 2 million $ for posting their stuff on Kickstarter. Just because Kickstarter doesn't enable a gold rush for everyone does not mean it won't work.

It will simply work as it has always worked: you'll have to work your way up. Start with smaller projects and make a name for yourself.

Why would anyone expect anything but talk about the language forth in comp.lang.forth? And this isn't the first time the blog tries to make possibly valid points through a bunch of bad examples, the most prominent example being "Free your technical aesthetics from the 1970s" which was factually wrong for the most part (yet he still stands by it).

I think I'm being trolled, therefore I'm removing it's feed from my reader.
Apple is a corporation that is traded on the stock market. Their primary customers and their board of directors are the stakeholders, not the paying buyers. Hence, they absolutely want to screw with us if that is producing better stock prices.

In the past, Apple has done quite a nice job at still doing a lot of stuff that benefits us--probably by promoting long term user satisfaction as their recipe for success. But at the end of the day, their allegiance probably lies with the stakeholders, and many of them are more interested in short term earnings than long term investment.
How Duhigg hacked his brain to reprogram an unwanted routine:

1. Identify the habit's reward.

Ex: going to a cafeteria to eat a cookie could be to satisfy hunger, get a burst of energy, take a break from work, socialize, etc.

2. Identify the habit's cue.

Ex: location, time, emotional state, other people or the immediately preceding action.

3. To shift the routine, replace the habit, but maintain the cue and reward.

Ex: If you eat a cookie everyday around 3:30 as a way of taking a break to socialize, stay current with office gossip and talk to friends, then continue taking a break at 3:30, but instead of hitting the cafeteria, look around the newsroom for someone to talk to. This way, the benefits of the habit are being preserved (taking a break and socializing), but the unwanted aspects are being replaced.

Of course, these examples are lifted directly from the article.

A framework for compositionality in distributional semantics
Am I the only one a little bit concerned by this? Don't get me wrong, I can see all the positives to come out of driverless cars, and the tech behind it astounds me.

My issue is I love driving, and once the world sees how much safer the world is without driver error, would driving manually eventually be banned?

I realise I'm essentially putting my enjoyment over people's safety, but what can I say, I love driving. Just have to hope riderless motorcycles don't come along anytime soon.

Having said all that, it's just occurred to me that if all cars we're driverless, then motorcycle crashes would be massively reduced. Maybe banning manual driving wouldn't be so bad.
Actually, thanks to all the drunk drivers, badly designed roads, people from out of state, etc., traffic in the LV metro area is pretty horrible. Luckily there's a monorail on the strip.
4 Characteristics of a Winning Social Enterprise Strategy
If you pay cash they can give a coupon to have a second go at adding purchases to your history, what's better is they're things you thought you'd kept off your history - it's cool in an evil overlord sort of way.

I find that Tesco give coupons for whole cart discount at a purchase price of about 25% above our average spend. That's a good tactic too.

I have this theory that "atemporal" stories (technical analysis, insightful essays, etc) that keep getting resubmitted every year are more interesting than news about the latest gadget. I've written about it before: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2505081

> It often has stories about [...] a new programming language [...]

That's something I think could be automated (at least for me.)

I can (and do) guess whether I am likely to be interested in a new programming language, based on what other languages the commenters compare it to.

In my case it would probably be something like:

* Compared to Haskell, Io or SETL => very interesting

* Compared to Java, JS or Scheme => neutral

* Compared to Groovy, PHP and VB => uninteresting

You have to pick your battles.

"It's a force of nature" is only a good argument against a policy when it is accompanied by other valid arguments. There are many things which are "only human nature" or "a force of nature" which for the sake of society and/or personal liberty we restrict.

Saying "it's only a force of nature" won't get you far with a judge. And telling people that they can't use the internet if they value their privacy is an unreasonable restriction on personal liberty. Period.

I agree that Google can user track, but only so far, and if they need to go to such extremes, we need rules, guidelines or even laws to draw the line very starkly.
How to Build Loyalty and Readership for Your Blog
Building a loyal readership and community around your blog is important for its long term success. It is also one of the most difficult aspects of blogging. It is relatively easy to get new or first time visitors to your blog using methods such as social bookmarking and other social media optimisation techniques. However, converting first time visitors into loyal readers who will visit you blog regularly, requires hard work and effort. Nevertheless, the rewards are promising and justify the effort required.

The Kotlin Journey Part I: Getting things set up
Crowd Sourcing Game Jam design and art
I applied naive bayes to generic news for a project a few years ago. Counter to some of the comments here, I think it works surprisingly well in filtering articles, and is a great way to start.

One of the nicest aspects of it is that it doesn't support a user's confirmation bias: your perspective isn't taken into account in filtering since it's just looking at keywords. That's probably not as important here, but especially on political news it's highly relevant. If I'm a Democrat, I don't want just left-leaning news to come through the grapevine, because that prevents me from seeing the other perspective.
I still don't understand how some people can livestream their coding and people watch!

Is it because they're making games? Would it work for anything else as well?
Ah, yeah, so now it's totally safe because it says so right there on the page.

The points raised in higher-up comments are still relevant... It's impossible to know for sure exactly what will happen with my images that I Drag n Drop.

Of course, for a 24 hour effort, it's great. But this is the 80/20 rule at play. The first 80% was the "easy" bit. Now you have to create some demoes, tutorials, earn user trust, etc.

I don't have a lot of need for animated GIFs personally, but this seems like a neat little tool.

Introducing Gemfury - It's like Dropbox for Hackers
I agree, but in this case I can understand his hesitancy. I think he's closer to nailing "now" when he says that Apple is treating press events with more respect. No more introducing three new products at an event. From now on, only major product releases will be given the Jobsian pitch. Anything which isn't in the same league (shifting millions of units) is going to be a smaller affair, to keep the big events fresh.
