No idea, should really mean, lots of ideas but not tied to a particular one yet. It would be bit worrying if someone couldn't think of a single idea before applying.
The fact of the matter remains though that you take a performance hit when laying out non-trivial views that need to be updated as fast as possible (e.g. when a table view scrolls by even one pixel and all the views have to be redrawn).

Not true, on a bunch of different levels.

A. Go do a benchmark with a nib loaded with UINib, and then with your "non-trivial view". The difference is negligible. You won't get more than 1-2 fps more by keeping it in code. And honestly? If you're that desperate for 1-2 fps, you're not likely bottlenecked at drawing code.

B. If you scroll by one pixel, at most, you'll have one new cell to redraw: the one that appeared on screen at the end. You don't redraw everything all the time.

C. I find that custom code is usually slower than loading some images and placing them on screen. CoreGraphics functions, for example, don't use the GPU. Set the wrong property on your layer (try touching CALayer's shadow properties on a large scrollview)? You lose ~20FPS. GPU is too busy calculating stuff to actually put stuff on screen, so CA drops frame.
No. But he probably was a sucker for imagining that everyone was (or should be) as passionate as he was. That's a very common flaw among passionate bosses: they forget that many employees don't enjoy their jobs as much as they do.
Speech Therapy For Toddlers
At Speech-Language Development we use naturalistic play contexts such as “floor time” to facilitate two-way communication, expression of feelings, intentions and desires through words or play. Further, children initiate and learn pretend play, as well as, hold a conversation for a period of time. Visit us at http://www.sldq.org/
That's not one I've ever come across - interesting. Wonder how common it is.
If I understand properly, pg is looking for great people who may not have the 'greatest billion dollar idea'. This individual he is looking for, has creativity, has built products and is a passionate technologist, not an empty-head. I think what he's doing is great. This proces brings a new breed of people into the YC engine. People who couldn't find co-founders, who couldn't launch startups in their college, who don't have access to a great technological community.

Pakistan Green vs Pakistan Blue Live
Jose Padilla‘Beyond Debate’
Some people (unless I'm the only one) simply cannot tolerate using an Android regularly due to UI performance. It seems like every 6 months they're doubling the raw benchmark performance of these Android devices, and releasing some stunning hardware, but when you open an entirely native ListView (like a settings page) on a flagship Android device it simply does not scroll smoothly. Arbitrary web pages scroll more smoothly on an iPhone 4 than native ListViews on a flagship Android device (the speediest Android devices I've used extensively are the Galaxy SII and Galaxy Nexus).

I am always tempted to feel pretentious about my preference in this regard (likewise, with my inability to use a PC with noticeable mouse acceleration). So many people either cannot notice the UI performance differences or don't think it's a deal breaker (I've even heard people says the best Android devices perform better than the iPhone), but I can't shake it.

I believe Kickstarter is the perfect place to start a company around a successful product.

Looking at how long its taking to finish the funding goal, I think the best thing that can happen for Light table and its users would be a commercial IDE spun out of this project to push boundaries and make programming more enjoyable. To keep it open source, it would be great if there are two channels - a commercial one and a community one (just like jetbrains intellij IDE).
Vim is working everywhere just fine.
Apart from his anal attitude, he has a point. But truth be told, general web applications are usually not that CPU intensive. If you build one using node, you can still use something like http://fabricengine.com
The main problem is though that he doesn't go into much detail on how specific his set of parameters is to the phrases he's matching against. I suspect that his optimization won't help much when doing a free match against any possible string, in which case the added detail doesn't do much for the person asking (at least not from what we can gather from the question).
Let a beautiful wedding dress witness your love
First, choose a wedding dress style you love. Choose the style of dress you would choose if you were not pregnant. This is the style you naturally gravitate towards and you should have this style regardless of whether you are pregnant or not.
Yes, I know what differentiates Clojure from CL (or Scheme). What I'm saying is that it is possible to have most part of these goodies in non S-expr language. Except maybe homoiconicity and advanced macros (Although being S-expr is not required for homoiconicity (e.g. Prolog)).
Hard to say based on what information is around, but part of it should most likely be justified from Instagram valuation for Facebook: no new feature, or strikingly innovative know-how, but a proven ability to innovate from the de-facto key feature and turn that into a sustainable network effect.

I sell what is essentially presentations (teacher & consultant data analyst); SlideShare is very far from what I'd like to have, but the only service where doing so makes sense. They could easily set up better presentation features (voice over, animations, structure) or insist on the selling tools (even the tiniest fraction of the teaching/conferencing/consulting business at large is huge) but they already have the core asset: most though-leaders are subscribed, and their account actively follows the accounts of people relevant to them. Compared to Scribd, who has the selling and control tool in place, but enrages users by blocking pdf exchange for no good reason, they seem to win.

LinkedIn is trying to move towards learning and showing your expertise at a more regular rate than job switches, and SlideShare has the best asset for that.

The quality of the Team and a pretext to talk about interaction design won't hurt, either.

Basically, make a list of known problems that you're well suited to solving, rank them by criteria, fail a lot, bang your head against the wall, and eventually things start to stick.

For example, Quantcast. Konrad had done an applied stats company and I had a big data background. So we think about insurance fraud (sales cycle too long, concentrated customers), starting a quant fund (which is more fickle, the market or investors?), etc, or ad targeting.

Ad targeting. Big, fast growing market, and it's all script kiddies except for google (this was 2006). But where do you get the data? I knew that publishers hated comscore and Nielsen with a passion. So, free measurement service and provide targeting along with. Then, how to promote it? Using SEO. Create a web page for every site so that it shows up when a webmaster searches for his site name. Once you have have petabytes of data, hire PhDs and give them powerful tools. And voila, powerful as targeting with a unique data advantage and publisher relationships.

You want big market, fast sales cycles (aka easy customer decisions), fast growth, slow witted competitors, and most of all don't even start unless you know how you will promote and sell it. I'm partial to b2b because consumer is so random, it's a tipping point thing and there's almost never any technology involved.

Cool problems are cool problems. Find them, choose the one you can solve.

To say that the "No Idea" round is bad for Silicon Valley is to give an overly simplistic view of the "entrepreneur."

However, the interesting thing here may not be one of whether an idea is necessary to initially catalyze a great company... or not. That seems like a chicken or the egg kind of question. (Do great companies breed great ideas or do great ideas breed great companies?)

Instead, I think the focus on the individual may be the most pertinent from this article. For some, those who are great at building within a company, being engineer #100 at Facebook is perhaps the greatest place of impact that person could have. Of course the converse can be true as well, which is the story we're all too used to. The underlying assumption is that a person's greatest placement is proportional to her natural inclination and disposition, and I'm inclined to agree.

"No idea" is just an idea how to create successful company. Actually a new one. Time will tell if this is good or bad.

That's a really cool optical illusion. It's similar to watching car tires on TV, where sometimes the rim spokes look to be spinning in reverse while the car travels at highway speeds.
People forget that Facebook still can be Google killer. They can reveal a better search (since their search function is used more than the Google's one).

Even easier task for them would be creating an ad content network similiar to AdSense since they can provide way more information about a visitor than Google's tracking.

This is precisely why Larry Page tries to shove Google plus into everyones throat.

Text editing and selection on my iPad is a pretty shitty experience compared to my Android v2.3 phone...

There's lots of web pages where it's impossible to select text (sometimes turning off JS helps) on the iPad but the phone does it fine.

In some HTML text boxes it's just impossible to edit anything.

Selecting characters within a word is painful, it's far easier on the phone as it has an optical cursor - later Android phones have dropped this so I wonder if they're painful too.
I think naming he startup is by far not as important as naming your product (except of course if they are identical). It's probably a good idea to choose a name that helps people understand what it does. But I wouldn't stress out about it, getting the actual product ready to ship is the only really important thing. If your naming goes horibly wrong, you can always change it later.
Today I learned that in ECMAScript5 (IE 9 onwards) there is also a function called Object.Create ( https://developer.mozilla.org/en/JavaScript/Reference/Global... ) which can be used to copy objects. Kinda.

Games a great way to do this. It's harder to impress kids these days (to whom "game" is "Call of Duty 4" with a multi-million development budget), but it's still a great way to make the mental connection between "I like games" and "I can make games".

The problem is that the difference between two engineers, one with 10 years experience and the other with 5 years experience, is huge. However, once you get over a certain threshold, say 15 years, it doesn't really matter that much any more. E.g. the difference between someone with 15 years experience and someone with 20 years experience isn't that important anymore. In fact, I'd rather be hiring someone with 15 years experience AND a degree than someone with 20 years experience without a degree.

[Disclaimer: I do not have a degree :)]

> But that is precisely what copyrighting APIs will achieve, a monopoly on computer languages, because without the APIs, as one witness told the court in Oracle v. Google, Java is blind and deaf. It can't be used for much, if anything. Even "Hello World" requires APIs

That's just not true. You can create your own classes for IO, or anything else, implemented as native methods. The only problem you have is if you want to copy the whole structure, sequence, and organization of Sun's API that Sun designed. For instance if you want the use the C library functions to implement your new Java classes, that's fine since you aren't copying the SSO of them.

I think a lot of people have to jump to these 'sky is falling' 'it'll break the internet' arguments because they refuse to accept that Google is the bad apple here. Google copied Sun's work, didn't pay Sun for it, and at the same time destroyed Sun's future revenue from Java licenses (as everybody just used Android for free). This was probably a significant factor in the decision to sell Sun (the Schwartz mentioned for instance that some companies were not renewing their Java license).

But this is capitalism not morality, and when somebody else creates something you want you pay them for it. That's really the issue here, Google used Sun's work and didn't pay.
Reverse Engineering: Gautam Gupta Goes From VC to Entrepreneur
I remember seeing the story of SJ lying to Wozniak, sometime back. And, I think that along with the 'fathering a child' lie, make up for much bigger lies and actually hurting others much more.

The kind of lie which Yahoo CEO made, is much softer in comparison. And its obviously a mistake which he made when he was young, and then got stuck with it.

The strong reaction on HN, perhaps, is a result of too many young people out here who put a greater importance to degree. I think, it matters to them much more, being just out of college.
It's funny to see when people seem to get personally offended any time someone tries a crazy new idea.

Specifically, my understanding is that Oracle is saying that the Structure, Sequence and Organization (SSO) of method names, parameters and return values is copyrightable.

Looking at the documentation for the List interface (http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/util/List.html), it states '© 1993, 2012, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved.'.

So, if I implement that interface based on the documentation then I'm basing my code on Oracle's copyrighted API and I'm explicitly cloning Oracle's SSO. So I've committed copyright infringement?

Why not? Sure, neither ruby nor python emphasise immutability, and recursion isn't optimised, but both lend themselves to a functional style if you're so inclined. See http://stackoverflow.com/questions/159797/is-ruby-a-function...
As a visual designer, I have to disagree. Trying to work on an iPad is a complete waste of time. Sketching/prototyping by hand is orders of magnitude faster than on an iPad, and it wouldn't even be worth it to try to produce anything resembling deliverable work. The required depth of interaction, breadth of options, and fine-grain control just isn't there.

For musicians, I think it's a different story because the iPad usually augments an existing setup; it can be integrated with other devices to fill a specific need that can be solved by a touch interface into highly customized software. In this case, the iPad is actually allowing totally new interaction that wasn't possible before. This is much more useful than the visual designer's case, where previously established modes of interaction are simulated in an interface they weren't designed for.
My good fellow, I'm sure that when you partake in the delicious fruit known as an apple, undoubtedly you do like I and first neatly slice and core the apple. Once the fruit is thus prepared, I find that arranging it neatly in a circular pattern on a fine porcelain plate (preferably covered with an exquisite paper doily) is a most acceptable presentation format. How uncouth are the heathens who consume the apple straight from the stem, exposing the unsightly core in plain view.

"If it hits, it might yield big performance boost in real world apps. If it misses, it's just a little wasted electricity."

Caches have limited size. If it misses, it also evicts something else from the cache. If that is what is actually needed, this costs performance.

"and are pretty close to the original cache line's (virtual) address"

Why does it have to be 'pretty close'?

"Now if these values happen to be sane virtual addresses in the current process"

That sanity check would involve visiting the paging tables, so it would require at least two indirections (http://lwn.net/Articles/253361/). If a cache line is 16 bytes, you would have at least 4 positions where a 32-bit pointer could be present. So, at least four times two memory lookups would be needed. I think all of them would go through the same cache, but even assuming that the CPU has ways of signalling that it should not recurse, I do not think it is practical to do what you describe (disclaimer: I am not an expert on CPU design)

What is possible is to guess at where data is to be found. That allows CPUs to read and speculatively execute instructions from the physical memory that they think backs the virtual address of the PC while they, in parallel, do the lookup to verify that. See http://dl.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=2000101&dl=ACM&col.... I do not know whether this has made it into actual CPUs, though.
