Anyone with an iOS device who is new to listening to Podcasts, I strongly suggest buying the Podcaster app. It's just a few bucks and about 100 times nicer than using iTunes on the phone or on the desktop.

Yes, I know that "better than iTunes" damning with faint praise.
As an aside, I find it entirely plausible that these restrictions are, if not designed for, at least desired in the design.

As they make the work of a compiler harder, they promote coding in assembly to get faster code. This, on the other hand, leads to lower code quality (as avoiding gotchas and dealing with corner cases correctly is a lot easier even in c than in assembly), which creates more "drama", which is good for gameplay.

Can't say this is unexpected... I haven't used my chumby for months, but does it mean the chumby channels are going to shut down as well after this summer, leaving everyone with a useless box that cannot do anything ?
I would actually love a line à-la reddit that shows the nesting level clearly but subtly.

That's the thing: what's a freelancer going to productize if all of their work is work-for-hire?
I was also critical, and agreed, this is a fantastic change!
I have some good story too.
Once I met one of the top apache foundation guy in Sri Lanaka while he is in Apache Road Show Asia.
So I asked him why do you use Apple (a mac book) and try to promote apache (he promote FOSS while using anti-FOSS tools)

He said me, Laptop is just another tool for me. I don't want to buy a IBM and install Linux and work hard for get it worked.
He also said that, time he saved is more worthy than $2000 dollars spend my his mac-book
Both. Learn ruby and rails.
Credit report
Credit reports show how well you manage your finances but if your credit report is inaccurate or untimely, you can use credit repair services to improve it.
Schooled designers are very sensitive to fonts. While he sees a world of difference because of that font change, you might see almost the same design. Because they study them deeply. They see them from another perspective, more like the story behind them. I've worked with many designers from Art Center in Pasadena and this has happened to me many times, where I need to make a further effort to understand them, and viceversa.

This company is about Andrew Mason.

From a former employee quoted on TC - "For all the shit he takes, you should especially worry if Andrew isn’t running Groupon."

I loved this.

Mason in the press gets an undercurrent of "not from the valley" or "former music major from northwestern" or "eccentric".

As a result the tilt of stories about Groupon suggest that it was built on "won the lottery" luck, not "when preparation meets opportunity" luck.

The guy built the fastest-to-a-billion in REVENUE ever online.

I get the inherent problems @ Groupon, but can't help remembering when Steve Jobs was dismissed as a has-been that was lucky to ride on the coattails of Woz, and thrown to the wolves by the board.

there is a huge difference between platforms and IDEs
I wouldn't call it eye candy, exactly, but I do think that most HN design submissions are little more than illustration. But I also think that design is much more closely related to engineering than any primarily superficial discipline. (Such is my experience after an undergraduate in physics and a master's in architecture.)

Both engineering and design are instances of the same type of problem solving process. But because design is focused more on qualitative and subjective elements, its state space is much larger and, I believe, its design solutions (or attractors) more fuzzy. Because of this, design and engineering actualize themselves quite differently in real life, often requiring different skill-sets.

And I think that because the web and application design disciplines require more engineering-thinking -- architecture, for example, must also consider spatio-temporal qualities -- most design-thinking is delegated only to the most superficial facets of the process. What would really help understanding is for more designers to push into the engineering side of things, and more engineers into the design side of things.
I believe this may be referred to as a glue record.

A Better HN: Aligned
Agreed. For this very reason, after watching the Meteor screencast, I immediately looked into alternatives such as derby.
This did inspire me to try a more aligned yet compact redesign:

http://news.ycombinator.com/newest (HN Aligned)
SocketStream is a nice framework (also in early stages) that embraces npm and other node conventions. It doesn't support reactive programming out of the box, but I wouldn't be surprised if someone decides to build a module for it.
I do know this breaks the site in many areas. It's just a proof of concept for the home page.
Ask HN: Does anyone have any spare-time project ideas?
I like my day job, but I find that I have a bit of spare time over the nights and weekends.

I'd like to put that time to productive use, but I like my job and don't want to quit. I've seen a few posts here on small web projects that people have done in their spare time, and I'm wondering if anyone has ideas they'd like to share with me. I'd like to get something that a few people think is quite good.

I'm looking for more "Parrot e-book" than PG's Request for Startup style problems :)

Here's one that I've thought of, I'd love to see what HN thinks of it:

"Web app for sending surprise gifts to one's romantic partner" - basically, I read once about someone with a shell script that reminded him to tell his wife he loved her at random intervals (after x commands). I thought that was really cool, and you could potentially extend it by having people sign up on a site and then the site would randomly decide to send them a surprise for their partner (based on some demographic information they provided) - for instance "We suggest you send Carla this cute picture of a cat". You could potentially monetize with a few "paid" suggestions from local restaurants, beauty parlours, bars and the like.

Keen to see what HN thinks of that, and what they can come up with :)
FlipGlobe: Find the Opposite Point on Earth
The government isn't discerning between "not for profit" piracy and "for profit" piracy. In fact, they're not even focused on "piracy" at all. If this is allowed to stand without any kind of recourse or punishment, there would then be a precedent that allowed the government to shut down any company at any time for any reason without the due process of law anywhere in the world. It's naive to think that wouldn't get abused.
Well, I think mostly about the tools I usually use: JavaScript, Haskell (GHC is really absurdly awesome), Emacs (which has really good support for certain languages including JavaScript and Haskell but emphatically not Java), TeX, GNU/Linux, Git and probably a bunch of other tools and libraries that don't spring to mind immediately.

I have used Visual Studio (mostly for C++ but a tiny bit of C# for WPF stuff), but not too much. I've found myself significantly more productive with Emacs, but I've also now used Emacs quite a bit more. I also used a full version of Intellij in my summer job, but was thoroughly unimpressed.

Now, I'll grant that the tools I've listed tend to have harsh learning curves. However, I posit that they are exceptionally effective in experienced hands. I think this is not a drawback: learning a tool is a constant expense where being more efficient is a benefit proportional to how much you use that tool. I would rather have tools that are harder to learn but more efficient than the opposite. Now, it is true that a tool that is easy to learn does not have to be less efficient and a tool that's harder to learn does not have to be more efficient, but I have found the two to be correlated in practice.

While the user-facing FOSS projects may be less polished in general, I have found that this does not hold nearly as much for developer tools. The main problem with letting developers design UIs is that they assume that everybody thinks like them; this isn't an entirely unfair assumption when writing tools for fellow developers! As I have mentioned, while FOSS developer tool UIs may be harder to learn, I have found them superior overall. Emacs is a perfect example--it does not follow any conventions of other common software (it pre-dates all that other software, after all) but within itself it is by far the most consistent UI I have ever encountered. In fact, I think Emacs is a great picture of brilliant UX; the sole problem is that it lives in its own universe (and isn't as slick or shiny as some newer options).

And of course, with the right lisp incantation, you can do magic.

Finally, it is true that the majority of FOSS projects become stagnant. Then again, this is doubtless true of the majority of non-FOSS projects as well. Back in my Windows days, I would frequently encounter "shareware" that had fallen into disrepair. The main difference is that an abandoned FOSS project can easily be patched or even brought back to life (JS-2 mode is a perfect example of this); abandoned proprietary software is basically dead.

Now, clearly, proprietary programs like Visual Studio supported by large companies will not die. But that is true of big open source projects as well: most of the ones I listed aren't disappearing any time soon. So stagnation is really constant across all software; the difference is that FOSS software is much more difficult to kill completely.

Hopefully my aimless ramblings have cleared my views on the subject.
Bise Gujranwala Board Inter part 1, 2 Date Sheet 2012
I honestly don't think HN needs a redesign in that sense (if at all). The mockup proposed here is a nice design for another kind of application, it's kinda safe and soft.
My bet is that HN would benefit more from a data oriented redesign where users see the stories and their stats more like a work sheet than a pretty web page. Dynamic data is what users would be interested in, not bubbles and double spaced rows.
Why not? Bootstrap is awesome!
This.

I do a fair bit of development of Django using PyCharm. Django is BSD licensed; PyCharm is closed-source. Both are, in my view, amazing tools.

Open source platforms are overwhelmingly dominant, awesome, and (at least for web frameworks) licensed as BSD/MIT or equivalent. Open source IDEs are uh... ...let's just say they're an acquired taste, and leave it at that.

Since we're talking about Meteor, the proper comparison appears to be platforms; as a result I have to say wavephorm is full of it. If he's trying to argue that Eclipse is terrible...well, he's right, but he's on the wrong thread. ;)

Personally, I agree that sticking with npm is the best solution. We have managed to do this with Derby (http://derbyjs.com/) while still providing easy app creation, automatic packaging, realtime data syncing, and reactive model-view bindings.

It's awesome to see that Meteor is now permissively licensed, but I would prefer to see them embrace npm as well.
More importantly, how do I keep clients from fucking up my database? How is security being done?

Seriously, if I'm not capable of baking limitations into data persistence/logic at the server level then this entire framework is worthless except for building up a portfolio of cute demos that can't be used for any real work.
Just about anything is better than the built in. I use Instacast myself.
Architectural Katas : Practicing Architecture
The Rails version number is highlighted in the right-hand margin (3.2 indicating the 2nd edition). Also, to make the choice easy, the 2nd edition is now the default.
That makes a little more sense. If he started in 2005 it would require an edit roughly every 3 minutes over the course of 6 years working 24/7 to reach a million.
"Baidu’s search engine is a copy of Google’s. "
Not True.
The founder of Baidu received a US patent for search engine result page ranking back in 1996. So it is not a simple copy.
Maybe I'm cynical but this reads as an innovator becomes a zombie, a patent portfolio that's worth billions in potential lawsuits, or perhaps more fuel for the arms race.
I feel it is sad that so few HN hackers seem to appreciate the vision of the GPL. GPL needs more indispensable software like this for it to thrive and protect us all from a future of completely locked down computers.
Aw sad day. I had one of the original Chumby's right after they went on sale. Haven't used it in year since the wifi became so flakey but it was nice at the time.
Mark Cuban on Success & Motivation
It's more like you put new style in there, not a redesign.
I agree with him on hardware.
Except I use a 13" Vaio Z.

Which also happen to compile Linux about 5 times faster than his mac - cold and hot. And also be lighter. And it's silent (except during compile). I really mean silent. Can't hear it - at all. And has a better screen. Yada yada. So it doesn't look as nice as the mba but its not that bad. And the inside, uuh.
API Owners Treating Developers Badly
What are the worst offenses API owners commit against developers? And who are the worst offenders?
The larger comment links sell it for me. I use a touchpad, and opening comments is painful to do with such small font and minimal margins.
I'm open to a compelling argument for why the GPL is better than a license that basically says "you can do whatever you want with this." (From the perspective of deterring the locking down of computers by corporations.)
While learning my way around arch, I got a very cheap second hand "Let's note" panasonic notebook[1]. The screen is, admittedly, pretty naff but as a small lug around which I don't care too much about, it does its job admirably. Debating whether it's worth it to stick an SSD in it now I splurged and got a macbook air..

I'm interested to know what HN thinks this means for hardware startups. Is this a case of Chumby not executing well enough or is it too hard to build a hardware startup? I think it's the former, but many people out there including investors seem to think otherwise. Some even go as far to say it is not worth doing a hardware startup because software scales soo much easier.

True, it is less of an issue for developers (especially since they're promising forward compatibility for apps). I'm just saying from the broader perspective of surprising and pissing of core fans, not updating to WP8 probably hurts WP more than the continuing update woes hurt Android (since at least some devices are getting updates and the overall situation isn't a surprise).
Not a bad idea. The meta tag should be made our bitch, so we don't have to work so much, and our sites can degrade gracefully.
It cost less for production. I eventually just accepted it.

The MRI implementation is way more important than the other implementations. Compare Ruby to something like C, where there is no reference implementation:

* GNU (gcc)

* Visual Studio (mscl)

* Intel (icc)

* ARM (armcc)

* TI (cl6x)

* LLVM (clang)

* ...

Having used all of these compilers (plus more), all implementing the same language, I would say that there is much more meaningful competition in the C space.

Having a standard is a good way to allow better competition, but it does depend on how good the standard actually is.

There was a portion of Top Gear about this in the last series, where the presenters travelled to China and showed off nearly exact copies of other automakers' vehicles, such as BMW (who have sued the Chinese companies in the past and lost in Chinese court). I don't believe this is limited to startups and the Internet, and I think that the Chinese have just become very good at copying things.

Best copy I can find: http://vimeo.com/40226173

It makes sense in as much as I understand what you are showing us. However, it's not clear to me that the solution you've come up with (for a very broad, abstract "problem") makes sense.

If you're looking for feedback on the video, I can understand what you're saying and follow the logical flow. I would still attempt to find a motion graphics person that does product videos and engage them to do a video which gets me excited. As it stands, it's pretty dry and I can't understand in what situation I'd use it.

One suggestion is that you clear out all of the junk data that you have in the app, as it's both monotonous and distracting. It makes the production feel half-baked.

Don't be discouraged, getting feedback early is the best way to prevent time wasted on things people don't need.
How long will it take for China to go through what the US experienced in the 1800s? Back then the American companies were the one pirating British designs, technology, and copyright, making poor, inferior copies at first, only later to find their own superior methods.

Even Japan followed this pattern of emulation and later refinement, and more recently Korea has entered the stage where it's carving its own path, not just making knock-offs but best-of-breed products in certain categories.

There's a point where you can no longer gain anything by stealing, but is this because everyone you're competing against has already caught up, too, and now you must go beyond in order to survive?

Maybe China's pressing need for solar, which other countries seem relatively uninterested in, will be the start of that shift.
Isn't web search quite an old field? It was around in 1996. Before that there was AltaVista and Excite.

RankDex is definitely not as good as PageRank with respect to results, I'm sure they have moved beyond that by now. I think what Baidu did copy outright was Google's minimalistic look and feel, which is definitely not very Chinese but appreciated nonetheless. Same with qqmail and gmail.
hmm, probably I dont't understand it that well then. assume that a client sends an async request to a server, but server being down, busy whatever, doesn't respond, a client should be in a position to set a timeout, and take so
e action e.g try another server or something. no ?
And for the record, the default resolution for the 13" Air is 1440 x 900.
As this question comes up every single time Meteor or Firebase is brought up, I think its fair to say that "we're working on it" wasn't and isn't a good enough answer.
But that part has already happened; China has copied the industrial capacity of the west and you could say even improved on that.

There is some amount of protectionism to the Internet though: whereas the British were trying to prevent the technology from flowing out, China is actually trying to prevent the technology from flowing in, indirectly through their blocking policies. That is very self defeating, it means the Chinese are copying business models and designs, and they aren't very focused on developing better technology (where the web is concerned, at least).
Hah looks great. I just use hckrnews.com, though.
