Wikipedia has a little info on DSI: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Display_Serial_Interface.

Unfortunately, it's one of those "closed until you join" standards; you have to be a licensed member of the MIPI Alliance (Mobile Industry Processor Interface) to get the full specs.

Basically, DSI is about "lanes" of balanced differential serial connections between a display driver (in this case built into the CPU) and a display. There is a set of commands for configuring the display, setting pixels (and, if the display is "smart" and has on-board memory, also for reading pixels) and so on.

If the criticism has merit, the lack of a Dribbble profile (of all things) should not be used as a shield against critiques. I say that as a huge Dan Cederholm fan.

To CodeAcademy's credit, they're doing a great job welcoming and acknowledging feedback without making any specific promises.

The web is full to bursting with design critiques, but the ones that build a name for their authors always seem to have an air of "how the fuck did you screw this up!?" While these critiques are annoyingly divorced from workplace politics and not necessarily a great way to deal with clients, coworkers, or bosses, us huddled masses love a good controversy. Frankly, that's why I'm reading this thread - I love seeing someone assert their opinion with an argument stronger than "looks gross". And while this author's particular argument may be presented a bit thin, the underlying principles are sound. Every worthwhile engineer I've ever worked with appreciates concise, believable, REAL insight into why some designs work and some designs don't. Worthwhile engineers like learning things.

While slightly more powerful (still, after all these years), the OpenPandora (http://openpandora.org/) seems similiar enough that its OS should work on the Pi.

The original specs for the OpenPandora also called for 256 MB of RAM, it has only recently been upgraded to 512 MB, since sourcing the original chip turned impossible.

I'm sure this has been tried already by the (rather active) OpenPandora hackers, wasn't able to find anything quickly though.
javascript the language itself has a spec that everyone has pretty much always implemented consistently even in the worst throes of the browser wars (the runtime libraries, not so much)

the problem was that jsmin didn't just violate the spec — it's not a javascript implementation at all, but rather a pile of naive textual replacements

Cool concept -- I remember your original post on HN. I definitely think a site where musicians could ask for donations would be cool and I'd put my music there.

I'm apprehensive to do this on Fandalism though. If I promise money to my users I'd be setting them up for disappointment since the vast majority wouldn't make any.

In other words I'd probably rather the message be "Use Fandalism because it's fun and cool!" rather than "Use Fandalism to make money!"

Never, it's community implemented conventions right now (that Notch will probably forcefully have to integrate)
The Supreme Court reverses cases it gets more often than not. But here, there's already a circuit split. And the last case of its kind was a 4-4 split, so if you're in to reading tea leaves, this is a toss-up. But this time I don't think that Kagan will recuse herself and I don't think that having argued the government's side in the previous case says anything about her personal beliefs on the matter.

In the Costco case, the problem was that the copy had to be "lawfully made under this title." With "this title" referring to US law, foreign copies need not apply. But that's kind of a silly technicality for the case to turn upon and a poor reading of the phrase. It's not as though international copies are being unlawfully made, after all. There's also the Berne copyright convention that applies pretty much everywhere, not to mention all the other agreements (including ACTA), and the direct influence the US exerts via the USTR and diplomatic pressure. Just look at Spain, for example, and how their copyright laws were forcibly influenced by the US. And they're far from being the only example.

But it may just come down to whether the justices think that the copyright holder is being ripped off via cheap imports, or whether US citizens are being ripped off by publishers. For the more legally inclined, Patently-O has a good writeup. Incidentally, I seem to recall hearing that at least one of the sitting justices reads it.

EDIT: I found this posted at Patently-O. It's a good analysis of the harm that limiting copyright exhaustion to US-manufactured works would cause:

Imagine an internet radio station where all the songs are user-recorded tracks and the listening is based on collaborative filtering and you pressing like/dislike next to the currently-playing song...

400K users is a big base. If 1K or more were listening to the 'radio' at the same time, the collaborative filtering kicking in could be great!
During the kicking a ball around a green field with a lot of people watching event during a hot season in germany, they almost shut down the ball kickers team busses of the hosting nation down by said logo issue.

Since Mercedes (the producer of the team busses) was not a official sponsor (that was Hyundai, ehich didn't produce any busses afaik) they had to remove the mercedes logo. Tough luck was, they had radar sensors in the logo, so covering it would hve shut down the electronic (at least according to the press reports).

Whats really rediculous is, that even when a official sponsor can't provide a certain product or service, the other logo has to be removed. Even if you are official supplier to a participating team but not an official sponsor you can't show your logo.

I'm wondering when we have the first non-state entities being recognized as souvereign states... Hell, then you could even tax your own employees! :-)
In space, things tend to glow in infrared, a phenomenon called black-body radiation. So you could cover the side of the sat facing away from the sun in graphite, and the heat would dissipate naturally until it reaches equilibrium with incoming radiation. In deep space it is 2.7 degrees kelvin (colder than liquid helium), but the earth is 250 kelvin (-23 degrees Celsius). Keith Lofstrom goes into more detail at http://server-sky.com/cooling

Yes, they do. For libertarians the big sticking point isn't this or that thing should be done. It's whether or not people have the social obligation to help the poor or the legal obligation.
> Why are all of your health insurance and retirement options tied to your current employer? In every case it's due to an accident of history.

I won't deny that it's an accident of history, but I'm not sure if it's related to the same accident of history that made single full-time jobs the norm. After all, most other countries where single full-time jobs are the norm don't have that particular problem.

Yeah, I've tried EC2, but I had a bad experience with their free tier(they started charging me for an elatic IP even when my instance was off) and their customer support was awful.

I didn't say "no open source community"; I said super small open source community compared to almost every major alternative. That isn't a myth. It's reality. Moreover Java has a lot more big projects that .NET just doesn't cover. Not to mention we're ignoring the tons of stuff you can find in Ruby, Python, and even PHP.
there was a recent blog which dealt with rationality behind such high absurd evaluations: http://continuations.com/post/19000949472/a-rational-interne...

4. The winner-take-all nature of network-effects businesses in which the dominant business can be an order of magnitude more valuable than other competitors.

So it is entirely rational given the Internet environment to see a dramatic stretching of the valuations for market leaders with network effects. It does, however, not bode well for aggregate returns for the venture capital asset class:

1. In a race to pick the winners ever earlier, valuations get stretched even for companies that have not yet proven that they really have strong network effects and that they will be the leader in their respective market.

2. These stretched early stage valuations will lead to depressed returns in a large number of companies and will also make many of these companies harder to fund. There will be more of these companies and more capital invested in them (in aggregate) than in the winners.
One of the most valuable coding tools that I learned to appreciate relatively late in my coding career is the Thesaurus. Not only because I'm not native English. Finding the right identifiers is often surprisingly hard, and seeing synonyms and antonyms of the concept you try to express, all of which have some different connotations and slightly different meanings can actually help you to sort out your own thinking quite a bit.
And if you try to have your variable names describe what you are doing as best as possible, and you find you run out of names, or the same name can mean very different things in your code, then you probably have some big conceptual problems.
SciRuby: First NMatrix Alpha Released
To me your arguments seems to be sound. What is 'scary' is seeing some prices out there. They are very low. I was looking at mixpanel pricing (https://mixpanel.com/pricing/) lately. A game changer should be able to provide more than those fees per month. Especially in the analytics sector that needs solutions like crazy. I mean, a decent consultant makes 1 k per day at least, why? Are start ups asking themselves about the value they provide or they want just to hit it big: become valuable only because serving millions of people?

Website Promotion
Web site promotion is a continuous procedure to promote or advertise a web site and its products and services. The main purpose of web site promotion is to sustain web site’s visibility on web and bring more visitors to the web site. There are so many techniques, such as search engine optimization (SEO), search engine submission, directory submission and web content development are used to boost the heavy traffic to the web site. Promoting a web site is not an easy task thus there should be a constant monitoring and patience because a web site takes a lot of time to get into the search engines and certain directories.
Yes I do, that's why they are called revenue tsunamis. I guess my issue is that I don't see why if a new online startup is managing to make some revenue, this suddenly means it is a "revenue tsunami". Comapred to Instagram ok, compared to Apple et al - no.
Thanks for your reply. It sounds perfectly reasonable in terms of committment.

A further though is that if arts/crafts/sports-type workshop runners are charging around £200 a day for their work in schools, you could potentially tap into this portion of school budgets to earn the £5000 required or set up as a limited company with a social purpose. I suppose you've made plans on the costs front, and that fund raising for £5k a year is perhaps very manageable.

If not, you could set up on a UK-based Kickstarter-type site and I, for one, would be happy to contribute and potentially volunteer for our local school.
2 minute video makes baseball WAY more interesting
This is true, to an extent. However, as a good scientist I try to frame my questions so that the answer cannot be 'no'. Instead of asking, "does this object do this?" I ask, "what does this object do?" or, "I've logically deduced that this object must do A or B; now I will do an experiment to falsify A, and another to falsify B - whichever stands must be true."

Instead of asking questions with a binary result, I try to frame them with an open ended result. It's not always easy to do. And sometimes some answers are more interesting/cooler than others. Further, there are some disciplines/questions which can only be answered with a yes/no answer. But because we know quite well the risks of failure we oftentimes try to mitigate it up front.
Wouldn't http://www.pledgemusic.com be the Kickstarter for musicians? I didn't think Kickstarter involved themselves much in projects beyond the screening process.
Pud, as I said here (http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3520013) 80 days ago, the way you keep putting out quality products is great. It's funny that your post on getting users (http://pud.com/post/5239917032/users) isn't even a year old (although you don't seem to be using a lot of those methods for this project).

Do your project ideas (big and small) just come to you or do you have a process?

And any thoughts on doing a small post on a day/week in the life of Pud? Like how much time you spend on projects (planning, coding, designing), and whatever else you do like jamming. You clearly know at least a little about time management and/or avoiding procrastination.
I can't look at the program right now because the site is non-responsive, but DCPU-16 has a defined spec right now for video, based on a leaked .jar file from the actual game.

most of the ideas posted by you are revenue models through advertising (where the real value of the user base is not extracted) or with more cumbersome product ecommerce tied with shipping which you don't want to do.

I bet you have these other ideas too - just wanted to point out that if it is an expensive hobby why not keep it as close to heart while making money too:

1. Sell amateur music and published albums of artists on the site.

2. Get musicians collaborate to create a Virtual Learning Environment

3. Let musicians get a private space to blog and evangelize their music to the visitors of the site for a fee. Support reviews, rating etc

4. Let musicians collaborate and organize music tours through the portal.

5. Let fans connect to their favorite musicians - ask questions, get autographs or learn music for a fee

Just some of the ideas to keep it close to music
So do the DMCA notice spammers. Seriously, start going through some of those huge notices with hundreds of URLs to remove that get sent to Google. People get pretty careless and DMCA random stuff they shouldn't.

The sad thing is that I have had no trouble identifying which items are wrongly included merely by spending a few minutes skimming the list of URLs and taking a quick look at the questionable URLs, because many of the people who create DMCA spam notices do shoddy work.
Show HN: We made a social network for creatives and everyone else
This post was actually a comment on Pebble. They do have some notification center like features and API available for developers, BUT they don't have Siri. And Siri is big in my opinion. Setting reminders, notes, calendar events, and more just by talking into your watch! Pebble won't be able to access Apple's notes, reminders, and calendars apps. Although they could turn to google calendar as a solution, Apple's native apps are fully integrated with iOS devices. Lastly, Pebble doesn't have that kick-ass design that creates fanboys. It is nice that it supports both iOS and Android, but it is no competition if Google and Apple make their own much better version of smart watches. Hopefully Google won't cuz Android sucks ass. (Please don't start a flaming war on Android vs iOS. It was just a fanboy remark)

Even though it is not PL mount and that camera is a tiny fraction of budget in a movie production I'm looking forward to see this one myself. I wonder how are they managing heat issues in that body size.
That mirrors my point of view (I'm in aerospace). Maybe interesting to add: Aerospace is one of the most conservative industries I know, to the brink of overconvidence and beyond. The main reason here are, for me:

1. A duopoly for big aircrafts by Boeing and Airbus (you have to look at the development and industrialisation nightmares of the B787 and the A380 to see where that got them)

2. National monopolies for military aircraft almost everywhere, meaning not pressure to deliver on-spec on-time in-budget since these contracts are basically subsidies

3. Protected space-flight markets, also to a high degree to military aspects

4. High entry barries, e.g. development costs, costs for market penetration, regulations (both civil and military), etc...

Given the above facts, it's clear that the big guys everywhere do everything to protect their market share against others like SpaceX, the chinese (commercial airliners) and the like. But a situation like that also means death to innovation, we are cooking in own juice (if you can say that in english...). The only thing the hold Boeings Lockheeds BAes and EADS grip on the industry are the above mentioned facts, hopfully that changes with the raise of the likes of Embraer, the chinese and (as I personally hope because I like the indesttuctable designs) the recovering russians, some competition can only help.

Another reason why aerospace is slow on innovation and radical design is also safety, something you cannot discard. When lifes are at stake, you don't take any unnecessary risk. First because you are most certainly not allowed too by regulations and also due to a culture of not taking unnecessary risks rooted in security issues. This was different in the past, but raisning costs a and a more risk aware (i'm not giong as far to say risk afraid) public changed that a lot. Again a quasi monoploy didn't help neither.

And as far as SpaceX is concerned: NASA open up a huge window of opportunity to disrupt space flight by retiering the shuttle which left almost overnight only the russians. And Elon Musk took that window, among others.

And if you ask me, this was about time!
