Well, it depends, but every source control system I know requires a separate merge for each branch. Even if it didn't, you would need to test separately on each branch anyway.

IBM - at least the project on which I contracted - required a ton of paperwork for every change that could be deployed to a production system. Analysis of the bug, how it was fixed, alternatives considered, test plan... and those were the more rational pieces of the paperwork. This is not a bad idea, though it is not fast.

At the minimum, I'd suggest a unit test and an integration test tested and checked in against each release. Any deviations per version (and it is possible!) need to be thoroughly documented and tested. Others would likely live closer to the edge, but this is on production systems you do not control, I presume. Every time this is inadequately fixed costs both you and the customer quite a bit of time and frustration. (Many changes, the customer will have a staging system where they will test the changes for a week before moving it into production.)

PS, don't be surprised when customers run three or four versions behind. I worked in one place where they had a heavily customized solution, and on top of that they developed hooks into the back end database so that they could get what they really needed done, because the customizations didn't do the job quite right and would be too expensive to let the software company do.

This is your nightmare, but it pales in comparison to the nightmare from the customer's perspective.
My favorite posts on HN are when people discuss why they downvoted people. There should be some sort of auto downvote algorithm for posts that begin with that.
I had the pleasure of writing a client for a SOAP service in a Titanium/JavaScript app not too long ago. If you don't have visual studio generating those proxy classes for you then indeed it's a huge pain.
Funny, I've taken to using 31-Dec-1969.
Yes, but this is something that's accessible to the masses. The first thing that pops to mind is the Kash Maxwell's Hot Dog Cart where the fellas just wanted to raise 3 and a half grand and get some exposure. The video was hilarious, and you know what, next time I visit my old lady's family in Rockford, IL, I'm taking the 30 minute trip over to Woodstock, IL to get a dang hotdog because they looked DELICIOUS.

Yes, some of these are bullcrap. As long as the premiums are fair or exchange for product, I'm okay with it.
Googling 'zerg rush' sends you to battle to save your search results
It's a very good (albeit overlong) copy of Apple's style of ad-making. However, the advertising industry values originality a bit more than you seem to think.
I can't explain why, I can only tell you that reading on an iPad literally makes me sick after about an hour. I'm guessing something to do with the lack of resolution compared to paper or Kindle.
Hehe, the person at 123 street ave will be similarly pissed because of me.
I've seen several Showscan films, and I loved them.

I think the biggest problem is acting. 24fps lays a veneer of "movie look" over all performances. With higher framerates, actors can no longer count on that.

They have to sell it much more, like in a theatre, but with large screen closeups projected on a 20 meter screen.

In a way, it's a new challenge actors never had before. It will be interesting to see whether there are indeed performance differences among the Hobbit actors.
You raise some good insight. At this point, it's too early to concretely say whether or not the iPad (or tablet computers) will truly replace the PC. I also just do not see this happening anytime soon or ever at all. However, I do see room for a third device (clearly it's not just me seeing it but the staggering amount of iPads sold and used, the market is booming). iPad's success can be attributed in part to it being an amazing consumer electronics device. It's photos, videos, games, and social media capabilities are what sell the product. Productivity, coding, design, editing, and tons of other "work" - not happening on a tablet device.

Developers simply see a new market for consumers to purchase apps and that's why we're seeing tablet versions of Photoshop, Keynote, Documents to Go, etc. It's easy for them to push an existing product on a mobile-based platform and make $$$.

I'm fairly confident that we're going to keep using our notebooks when writing in XCode, editing in Photoshop, using Word, Excel and Keynote and doing tasks that tablets simply can't handle - keyboard or no keyboard.

The iPad also does a great job of presenting the web to the user when in couch-surfing mode but a lot of us still need a full-browser. The App space is rich, users love downloading apps, but we're still in entertainment mode here. I wouldn't be surprised if <5% of iPad users actually use the device for productivity. I regularly read HN, blogs, news, and do basic web browsing on my iPad at night (after using a computer all day).

With a concept like this Kickstarter project, the product fulfills the niche accessory market pretty well. People who like to spend $100+ on beautiful accessories to dress up their tablets will buy it. And of course, users that find themselves sending emails and writing documents on iPad will buy it. It looks like a nice product; clean Jony Ive inspired design, integrated speakers, solid materials, etc.

Tablets are here to stay and they'll continue gaining market share but they won't replace PC's for a while (if it has a keyboard it's a laptop, right?). This whole "post-PC renaissance" sounds like a bunch of marketing hype but you can't deny the staggering tablet sales numbers.

The dominant players will be Mobile and PC's while tablets have carved out a nice market share for themselves in the past few years.
I do the same (inverting colors) on my 4" smartphone and page-turning is more often than with a book but it doesn't annoy me at all. And I can hold a very light device with one hand lying on the side or reading in the subway. You misunderstood me, of course you don't have to hold or carry the iPad while reading but at least you have to keep it in balance while it lies or stands on something and after a while I prefer lighter devices—just try a Kindle, this much lighter weight makes a huges difference! And, where's the advantage having a bigger screen when reading normal literature (with programming books I prefer the iPad because you need space for code examples etc. but then again I prefer the notebook over the iPad because the IDE is close ...)

Also, VIM is almost the perfect editor on the iPad with an external keyboard because one never needs the mouse and everything can be done with keystrokes.
There's even native vim on for iPad on the App store (though iSSH has much better keyboard meta keys support)
I guess what he means is every year you'll be more settled in your current situation. And if things change (getting a steady relation, kids, buying a house, earning more money), the choice is harder to do a start-up.
you need to add in an "amazing" metric to identify those people who think everything is just amazing.
Imagine they invest in your startup and later say "It was our idea!"...

But on a serious note: I'm happy for them because they'll see now that business is more than suing someone for the mere idea.
> It is? Where do you live that this is a normal thing?

When I joined my first job, my employer asked for my passport(id proof), college mark sheets(unless you score x, you aren't eligible for the job), high school mark sheet(10th and 12th grade - some employers require a min of x grades to be eligible) etc. It's quite common for the employer to ask for the id proofs and grade sheets for the first job. I held only one job, that too fresh out of college; so I can't tell what documents are required when you change jobs.

As far as landlord goes, there is a legal requirement that landlords know the identity of the tenants. For their own safety and to fulfill legal requirements, landlords ask for some sort of id proof. It need not be passport though.
It's funny to me that there are so many people on Hacker News that can't imagine why anyone could actually want/like/love the iPad. Even if it doesn't do what you want/need, it is a serious impairment to think that its success is a fluke, or temporary. If you can't understand the world from the point of view of the non-techie consumers for whom the iPad is a life-changing device because of its sheer simplicity, then the things you make will suffer as a result. Learn to empathize with the rest of the world. These are your customers.

I like to listen to my turntable while coding. Getting up every ~15 minutes to flip/change a record actually helps me focus because it gives me constant tiny breaks. The mindless nature of the task also doesn't interrupt my thoughts but does give me a change to stretch my legs.

But the culture of obscurity reeks of insecurity.
Unfortunately, unless you also have a similar iq, the candidate will naturally seem unpleasant to you. Anyone would agree that they would not like to be around someone with an 80 iq. however for the same reason, namely differing values, attitudes, and thought processes those same people will not enjoy working with a 140 iq coworker.

Except Apple responded directly to the existence of the Tik Tok. They sell it in their retail stores. They referenced it in their media event. The first highlighted feature in their last update to the iPod Nano was "new watch faces". The success of the Tik Tok (and more recently the Pebble watch) proves something. Likewise the existence and success of all these keyboards for the iPad (thebrydge isn't the first and it won't be the last) proves something.

Air Playit: The Most Popular Video Streaming App for iPhone iPad
Air Playit can stream videos in almost any format to iPhone, iPad and iPod touch. If the videos are not in format supported by iPhone or iPad, it will convert them on the fly. You don't need to wait until the entire video is converted, just watch it immediately and it take up no space on your devices at all.
Wow, this application has gone even further. I saw it I think two years ago (or last year?) and you couldn't do that much with it.

It's very enjoyable because the loops are great.

Nothing to program to, as I enjoy alternative music (Limp Bizkit anyone?) and playing my playlists in iTunes while coding.
I knew the story of them and Zuckerberg before seeing the film, and I still came out with a negative impression of Z and a more positive one of the Ws (and definitely Eduardo). Yes, they weren't as bright as Z, but I felt like they tried to deal with him in good faith and he just screwed them, Eduardo and anyone else he needed to in order to get to the top.

I did feel like the movie was trying to make me empathise with Z over the others which I didn't really like; at the end when the lawyer tells him that he's not an asshole, I found it artificial because I couldn't see what on earth had led her to that conclusion.

YMMV though, it seems to be quite polarising and you may well be right that it's based on existing perceptions; I didn't sympathise with the Ws in real life, but then I wasn't a huge fan of Z either.

This is just further proof that people don't really
want an iPad, they want a laptop

It's not really about hardware. I think what people really want is to escape the desktop operating system paradigm.

When someone buys an iPad they are escaping the hangover of using Microsoft Windows for two decades. You'll find most iPad owners love their tablet precisely because there is no concept of files and folders, and drivers, and a long bootup process, and hard drives, and defrag utilities, and spyware, and virus protection... None of that stuff really improve users' experience.

Ordinary people just want to get onto the internet, play some games, and read facebook. Whether the hardware that lets them do this in an easy way is a tablet, or a laptop form factor is irrelevant.

All of these "webex-replacement" solutions seem to have a horrible case of feature creep.

Just because a thousand people back this kickstarter, doesn't mean the millions of iPad owners all want keyboards.

Web sites that need to know how a person is physically constructed as opposed to socially constructed are going to be rare.

But even then, the physiology is not always always binary: "1 percent of live births exhibit some degree of sexual ambiguity.Between 0.1% and 0.2% of live births are ambiguous enough to become the subject of specialist medical attention" - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intersex#Prevalence

Great Article. It is Ye Olde Reductio ad absurdum though. No rational peron goes into business just to change the world. No rational person goes into business just to make money. No rational person goes into business just because they are fed up of their current boss. As ever, it is a combination of all of them. A point in a high-dimensional cube, if you will.
Same. The world's population of rich fuckers will be +1.
>So people really want things like laptops with touch screens and laptops with detachable keyboards, despite those things selling really poorly

YES.

They sell poorly because they are crap and expensive. Exactly like tablets were before the iPad.

Give me something like the transformer prime, with an a15 and an android + desktop linux combo for a reasonable price and i'll be all over that.

This dock (+retina ipad) has brought me closer to wanting the ipad than ever before.

"The success of this kickstarter project shows that there's no real use case for tablets except surfing/reading/consuming/procrastinating on the sofa..."

Surfing, reading, consuming and procrastinating is 95% of the time normal people use a computer, and there is nothing wrong with that.

I have news for you, before you are able to write you have to read, a lot. Surfing, consuming and getting in touch with other people is also part of the creation process for a lot of people, maybe not for the isolated geek who has no friends and believes that real work is working on problems without interaction with people(as if their work were going to be used by androids).

There is more consumers than producers, this is expected. It is a tool, like a car is used for transportation, and not for changing parts of it like a lego.

I am a vim user, I know how to compile the linux kernel, disassemble anything and create super complex and amazing programs but when I want to plan where I am going to be the weekend I love the Apple multitouch tech so much on the map application. I prefer browsing web pages and watching educational videos on a tablet.

I can tell my parents or grandpas or a kid how a tablet app work in 2 minutes, impossible to do with a pc because interface is seriously wrong. I repeat, is totally wrong if people that are not geeks can't use it.

Some geeks hate it because it removes the "guru aura" they have over their family or friends as the only one that knows how to use the "broken machine".

I want it all, the power of a linux or mac machine with the intuitive interface of tablets. In the future you wont have to choose, you will be able to use ubuntu(or other distros, or windows, or macOSX) on tablets.

"clumsy form factor"??? You really hate those that do not believe in the same things you do, you are blind from your hate. It is agile form factor, I touch it moves, instantly. PCs are the clumsy ones. You want to zoom, you search for an icon, then click on it, then it zooms stumbled like an octogenarian.
I said "effectively subsidizes". Environmental controls is one factor. Cheap land / water use is another. OH&S standards, favorable tax, there's a lot of ways it can be done if the government decides it's strategically important.

That attitude will start changing now that they have plenty of IP, and they no longer suck at engineering low cost stuff.

Too black and white. Imagine more.

MBP on the bottom, lid snaps off and is an iPad. Compatible applications sync on event: snap off/on between the iPad and the MBP.

So basically it's the Asus tablet and base station affair (or this Brydge thingamabob) but instead of just speakers/keyboard/battery you have the works in the base station and you can plug in a monitor and use it separately from the iPad/screen assembly.

It's not that people want this or that, it's that they want it all.
It's not Perl. I recently had a conversation with a friend who didn't like me using "if myvar == 0:" or "if myvar is 0:" in python code rather than "if myvar:". Call me paranoid, but i like to be as explicit as possible in my checks, you never know when magic conversion tricks (which are often platform- or implementation-dependant) will end up biting you in the ass.
Become a startup entrepreneur if you "want to change the world" is not the same as "to change the world". I also would not block on the word "change".

To me it means providing a significant contribution to the world evolution. There is some liberty degree in how we would contribute to its evolution and how much.

Another point is that I feel we shouldn't take this at 1rst degree. To me it means the initial author is talking of a life goal, not an objective. A goal is something we try to achieve, tend to, but it's ok to fail. An objective is something we have to achieve and it is bad to fail.
In french there is a third level on top of these but I don't know how to translate it. It is a life ideal. (idéal de vie). This is just a general direction we define for our life. Whether we want to do good or bad, make significant contribution to the world evolution or help and support others to live their life and achieve their own goal.

The initial author is himself confusing objective, goal and ideal, but the post author too.

What I retain from the initial author is that beeing a startup entrepreneur is very hard, unsure and we have false assumptions on what it could yield to us : power, money, ...
> Give me something like the transformer prime, with an a15 and an android + desktop linux combo for a reasonable price and i'll be all over that.

So if you combine a bunch of things that each sell very poorly then that would sell really well?
