Learning Should Be Fun
The question is, do you really think that MS can always outdo Mozilla in "browsing/battery" experience?

They are controlling browser for a reason, but not a good reason to rule other players out.

As a platform provider, Apple/Microsoft choose not to provide the full computational power to software developers. All the more reason developers should go to Android.

I fail to understand why people ask for these simple utilities to be included. I find it interesting that on one side you see people complaining about apps they cannot remove and on the other saying that they are sorely missing.

(to be clear: the two sides are not iOS and Android, just different people)
Fun is to entertainment as education is to training
This is actually the conclusion I came to a long time ago and have been acting on it since. Still haven't captured that value, but it has been fun trying & haven't given up yet.
For graphics-heavy apps, a common problem is that the OpenGL hardware and drivers on many Android devices are crappy, so some graphics problems or crashes might only happen on a specific combination of device and OS version.

Are you redrawing every time to the invisible canvas, or are you saving the data, and just pushing that to the screen? I'm not entirely sure if this is plausible for you situation, but take the event of a game like mario. The ground on the bottom can be drawn one time grabbing each tile from a tile sheet, and then you can save that bitmap data, so you cut out having to 'pick out' each tile, and just push that data to the screen. Any chance you have an example of what you're doing for your sprite\tile layer? I believe it can be a bit fast this way, but we may just not be on the same page.

"Hello,

With respect, I am disgusted to learn apparently your company is responsible for forcing schoolchildren to use RFID chipped water bottles that need to be 'scanned' whenever they want to refresh themselves of surely a basic human resource, drinking water. I sincerely hope the following 'award' goes someway to you recognising how disgusting your conduct appears to the general public:

I hope that you are a good company with well intentioned people working who has been misinformed or conned by some marketing clown, and that this is just a misjudgment on the part of bad management. Please ensure this programme is stopped as soon as possible, I have been a Brita user for years but this is unconscionable.

Thank you,

See you guys there!
We stop working on that (pivoted to Circle),
redesign didn't affect that.
Why does it do that, instead of some other more pythonic way?
I stand corrected. The country I lived in is indeed not on that list which is evidently why I still had to pay SS taxes.
If actors could organize, we could easily see a transition to kick-starter like funding of film and television productions (fund per episode?) that when funded is just publicly distributed via torrents. Absolutely 0 middle men, no costs of distribution at all (unless you count the guy who pays for an internet connection to do the first bout of seeding the episode) and it properly fits into how the pay per unit model fails in digital media.
This is by far the best comment I've seen in a while.

Loans to individuals today are account to little more than taxes paid to private individuals, who will obviously spend the money on themselves instead of the commons.

It would be awesome if a system were established that allows individuals to borrow from the central bank the same way private banks do. If JP Morgan can borrow from the Fed, then I as an individual should be able to borrow from the Fed, with an adjustment for actual risk and no more. In aggregate, I bet you that 300 million Americans pose a far lesser risk than do a couple of major banks.

Like you said, a world-wide conspiracy would not have succeeded in creating a system that allows private banks access to a nationalized bank but only allow individuals to borrow from those banks.

The technology is there or almost there to automate lending the entire lending process enough to make direct government-to-citizen lending possible. All that is needed is a way to implement this such that it results less systemic risk than our current system by fostering greater diversity in lending strategies and risk assessment than a few large banks. All you do is plug in lending strategies that are sufficiently vague and considered in aggregate at each level that gaming the system in a way that unfairly favors certain individuals.

The cost of taking the money from a government loan institution and putting in the hand of an individual should cost almost zero and the lending decisions should be made as close to the community level (as in the state or county level) as possible on a per capita basis with any incidental returns accruing to the level at which it was lent at. e.g. a county would lend money to its constituents in a way where they balance returns to the city coffers with the growth from lending at lower rates.

i.e. the federal government automates the writing of loan checks and collecting them, amount lent is proportional to local population, excess returns go to taxes, counties can levy taxes to make up a deficit (failure to properly assess risk and rates), but who gets loans and the rates are determined locally.

We'd essentially end up with 2992 entities that resemble the small local banks we used to have before the banking market consolidated, but that are essentially charged with ensuring the goodwill of their own community and not shareholders living elsewhere.

Private banks would still exist, but would have to compete with such a system and would probably compete in areas where such a system could not, such as corporate loans.
Unless you've hit a home run with one of your startups (which, incidentally, eliminates the need to worry about money again), you'd better start that VC transition before you turn 50.

Starting any major career change after 50 is dicey. I'm not sure there's anything special about VC in this regard.

Definitely git extensions. I tried both. In fact, I came from Tortoise SVN and found Tortoise Git to be terrible. I was just barely learning git at the same time. Everything finally clicked for me when I used Tortoise Git.
If you use the Android x86 system image it's not bad at all. ARM emulation is still slow as molasses.
I remember when I bought a house I had to sign tens of such notices and notices about signing notices, etc. Worse yet, I was actually provided with all the documents I was supposed to review, and they literally were a pile several inches high. And most of it was completely 100% useless at worst and duplicating what my agent already told me about 10 times at best and what I already read about in various disclosure forms (which I had to sign too, of course). It took me hours to get through it and by the end of it my hand hurt from all signing I had to do. Some politicians did some major CYA work there, I'm sure.
Google style mono-repository development currently appears to be impossible with Git. If there was a more robust way to manage multiple repositories as a single one, that might work -- subtree and submodule aren't cutting it.

Your example is the opposite of the current situation. If we assume that home prices are determined by monthly payment then that would explain why the price increased as rates dropped.

Then you had a low price to rent compared to payment to rent ratios. Today you have the opposite: low payment to rent and high price to rent ratios. If rates rise with prices drop?
wow looks like this was written by a 12 year old, I'm impressed.
Yes. Opinions, passionately delivered, will correctly be perceived by some as inflammatory or unfair.

Each observer can decide if the remark is appropriate or not. We are more likely to forgive Linus on his "home turf" than Obama singling out a particular business.

This highlights the problem, not everyone thinks critically about context so you end up with people writing off good practices because the advocate was mean and/or avoiding a bakery because the president complained.
I like the native git gui that comes with the default windows git install. It's simple but does 95% of what I need it to. Command line for the oddities.

On the very least, knowing his reasons is very informative.
It strikes me odd to consider venture capital a retirement plan. My anecdotal observation is that the age of successful VCs is decreasing. I'm guessing this follows the need to relate to younger technologies and markets. That's not to say that "older" VCs will disappear, but that the successful 50 year-old venture capitalist of 2027 will have started in 2012. Or 2007.

I really don't like the message of this post. I think the arbitrary expectations people in the startup world place on themselves do a great deal of harm.

I actually regret being exposed to the startup world at such a young age of 17/18. I became totally obsessed with everything startups, especially the stories of newly christened millionaires at ages not much older than mine. I eventually began setting some ridiculously lofty goals for myself that I've failed to meet time and time again, and it's contributed heavily to my often feelings of failure and low self-worth.

So how about this: Instead of rushing to do something before a completely fabricated deadline, chase opportunities with the intent of trying your best and the understanding that no one event or missed deadline renders you a failure or means that you've missed out on life.
If you haven't actually read Kaczynski you should. His ideas about goals are interesting, but probably more important are his ideas about how technology inevitably leads to the loss of freedom.

If anything, shouldn't entrepreneurs be told to relax? To take a breath and enjoy life? I'm sure this article comes from a good place, but to me, it imparts nothing but a frenzied fear of "not making it in time." No thanks. I imagine most of us already have plenty of that fear in us.

> There, it has to compete with Android[1], which has a bit of a head start.

This matters little if MS is able to leverage their power with PC (by modulating the Windows OEM license price) and phone (modulating their Android patent tax) makers to convince them they should build Win8 tablets. Even as it diminishes, the power Microsoft has over the computing industry is enormous and cannot be ignored.

I have a strong suspicion many phone vendors wouldn't bother to offer WP7 products without some sort of incentive from Redmond.
Maybe if one tries to do as much as possible from within the database itself (i.e. implement business logic using stored procedures, triggers and such, not an external programming language), there will be no need for any ORMs whatsoever? That's a honest question btw, I don't have much experience with databases, just curious to know.
It has pretty common connections to the Jewish Diaspora during and after World War II. While it's not as common a usage as "the Holocaust", among many folks (especially those with a little knowledge of 20th century history), "the Diaspora" refers first to the Jewish one.

As a designer, it makes me sad to see that while Design Lab is using a dot grid background, they failed to align the elements on top of the grid. (Good example of this: http://gridness.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/sushi-and-rob...)

It's that kind of attention that really makes designs shine, not to mention aligning elements like that does a lot to make a design feel cohesive and less chaotic. It's disappointing to see a website purporting to teach design to miss a detail like that.

I have experience in a couple of industries where investors would never trust anyone under the age of 40 to run a company, even a startup. It's probably true that the tech industry favors young people, but if you've been an entrepreneur your whole professional life, it shouldn't be hard to transition away from this high tech echo chamber when the time comes.

Valve probably has the best system I've heard of for capturing this value. Each employee is peer reviewed on their value to the company and then their score gives them a relative rank in the company. That rank determines their pay. I don't know what the scale is like, but I know Valve has profit sharing to some degree, so I bet it's pretty good if you're at the top of the list.
Facebook deliberately bans Grooveshark from its services
Sorry, I didn't mean to imply I wanted precise information. Their guesstimate is going to be better than mine, which is why I would ask them for that info. I'm just not comfortable with pulling data out of my lower dorsal region. And I guess that's the part of how I think.
Some of the comments here have gotten me thinking about access to test devices. I've never worked on android, so I don't know if installation of lots of unfinished software would be logistically sane, but what about meetup groups where local devs could test out each other's beta apps on their phones and tablets?
In that vein, when somebody tells Linus:

"You might have fun raging on the internet, but I think your goals would be better served if..."

He rightly responds:

"Umm. I think I've been able to reach my goals on the internet better than most people."

I believe in civility and courtesy in many areas, and Linus doesn't phrase things exactly as I would. But then, I don't have his responsibility or experiences, either - and while people can disagree about whether he expresses his thoughts in a polite manner, he certainly does so in a clear one.
Sure many enterprises use .NET, just like many enterprises use Java and COBOL running on zSeries mainframes.

What fraction of that .NET jobs would you call "interesting" of "cutting edge"?

.NET developers aren't in the endangered species list. Not more than COBOL developers who know what CICS means.
I'm excited about this. I've been reading design books for a while looking to become a more well-rounded developer but have struggled turning reading a book into actual design projects. So I'm excited about this format - weekly design challenges, feedback from peers and experts, and progressively advanced challenges.

Also, the sign up worked for me. So it must be fixed by now.
Try using a recent model AMD graphics card, you will only get hardware acceleration when running X on Linux.
You can also be a 25x developer and have net-negative product designers and biz dev people on your team that completely negate or at least greatly attenuate the value you contribute.

Besides people, you also have the value of the solution as well. A top developer creator an overkill solution for a trivial problem doesn't create much value either. The value of a solution is proportional to the cost of the problem.
Serious question: can it do unlimited syncing between your computers if they are rarely on at the same time? If I sync between my laptop, open sometimes during the day, and my desktop, turned on only at night?

That would really be a killer app, if a master list of files was stored on Cubby's servers, and it would transfer only things that had changed to the servers, waiting to be sent to the other computer whenever it was turned on...

Ask HN: I was fired from a startup I helped found, I'm fucked
I'm in a rough spot and I'd like to ask for advice from my fellow HNers. I was employee #1 at my startup and was fired 11 months in - 1 month from my cliff. I'm not necessarily bummed I was let go, things changed with the company and my role so I guess I just wasn't a good fit anymore. I get that. I'm sad because I'm out of money and and have no stock. I spent so much $$ commuting (SF to Palo Alto), eating out in Palo Alto, courting clients etc. I hardly have 2 months of personal runway saved up. And of course I worked my ass off. I never even expensed any travel expenses because I figured it was best to keep the money with the company. All the while I was getting paid a startup salary to begin with.

But now I don't have anything to show for it and am going broke. They are offering me a tiny equity package which is approximately equal to 3.5 months of work but it seems like an insult. In exchange they are asking me to sign a document which basically says I can never take any action against them, ever. So should I ask or demand more? Do I have any other options here? I would like to stay on good terms with the 3 founders because I really do respect them professionally but I'm not sure what to do. Another potentially interesting detail: I'm in my 20s and they are all 10-18 years older than me.

Onward and upward,

I'm pretty sure you can find 100x spread in developer compensation at Google. The ones who got in early vs. the ones who came after the IPO. They got in early because they were amazing, not because they were lucky. Not.
My best experience so far has been with a combination of SmartGit and TortoiseGit. SmartGit doesn't have interactive rebase and doesn't allow you to specify refspec when pushing. I've had to use the former occasionally and I use the latter all the time, because we work with Gerrit.

Of course, you could throw TortoiseGit out of this whole story if you don't need that kind of stuff or if you're comfortable with using command line for certain details.
Win8 is Windows kernel + Windows API + Windows RT. Win8 on ARM is Win8 minus Windows API. It's not a new product - it's a castrated version of the latest version of an old product.
I get the point he's trying to make and completely agree with it, but the way he presented his issues just made me lose respect for him a little bit ... I just wish someone that respected was able to present his views in a way that younger developers could emulate.

I can't help thinking tons of "rockstar/ninja" developers out there are going to embrace this abrasive style of disagreeing with people and totally rationalize it by thinking well "that's how the guy who wrote Linux does it, so that's how I'm going to do it"

Someone that well respected should (and this is my opinion) never have to reach to the level of addressing someone so far-removed from the heights they've attained, as a 'moron', when simply ignoring them would do. But I'm nobody important, so what the hell do I know about anything ...
I bet at least 90% of 37signals click are "above the fold".

I've been experimenting with giving user a bit of control before moving on by making "slides", they get a slide which is nothing but 970x600px, then they have to click something to move on to the next slide. Its all loaded in the dom so no refreshing. The site is more like a presentation than a big flyer.

Also, rethinking the refresh - instead of refreshing I slide to the next page and show something in between. It can be flashy design (http://jsfiddle.net/Rd92C/), or some info (http://jsfiddle.net/andys627/xRTfL/1/). Its a great place to show have undivided attention!
