And they've almost completely pivoted to paid educational content.

On the one hand it means less competition for the OP, but they pivoted for a reason. There's likely more money in their education products because of the price point and the LTV of the customers.

How many times can you sell the same person on an analytics package? The LTV of a customer in a business like that can't be great. You help them find the right tool for the job and you're done. You teach them CSS101 and they come back for CSS201, etc.
You can also have an AUTH library coded against an interface, a protocol - and then use it with may different frameworks. I am convinced that this can be made practical if you choose the interfaces carefully. I have actually coded an auth lib against the PSGI interface (in Perl it is an equivalent of WSGI) plus a few virtual functions to be implemented in subclasses as connection to the storage database: https://github.com/zby/Plack-Middleware-Auth-Form

The biggest stumbling block for me, and I imagine a lot of other users, is simply getting it installed and running. On Ubuntu I was able to do this within ten minutes, but if I choose to develop on Windows it's next to impossible to get a Django project with a PostgreSQL db running without any issues.

I'm quite fond of Python and I like what I have used of Django, but I'd be willing to wager that a lot of other people from PHP land have wanted to use Django and have been put off by how hard it is to set up.

Obviously, I could be doing something wrong, so if it's obvious that I'm doing something wrong please say so.

2. Try Oracle's Java tutorials which are surprisingly good (http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/)
Of course they did not have any compatibility problems - the Pocket app is a textbook example of an app, you could find something like this in demo examples. Make no mistake, I love the design - it's perhaps the best design of an Android app yet. BUT, you can't compare it to any game or video playback app - it does not have to handle native libraries or fight with gazillion different screen aspects. It might not even contain a single custom drawn view (don't know about the "reader" view). Everything in Android is a fluid layout, and if you only use these layout components, everything should be fine on most devices. Pocket is even able to avoid very large images, which tend to crash older devices if they exceed available native bitmap storage. So.. yes, most apps won't need testing on ~4000 devices - if it runs on the emulator, it should be fine (make sure to severely limit memory there).

But don't dare to leave the well-tread pathways, or get ready to buy 100 or more devices (obviously that's an estimation :)).
Card fees depend on how big you are though. Large UK supermarkets have no minimum purchase amount for credit cards, because they have the clout to negotiate a better deal. Facebook is probably big enough to do the same.
Feature request (I might add it to the github issues later, but I don't have time right now to do it justice):

I almost never, ever use a mouse (MacBook Pro's trackpad is the best pointing device I've ever encountered), but when I do, I usually select thing with ONE click of the mouse, instead of two (I'm lazy). For example, if I want to select 'Print...' under 'File' menu, I I move the cursor to the 'File' menu, hold left (or right, if I want to use something off a contextual menu) mouse button down, move the cursor down and over 'Print...' and let go of it. It's much faster I think, and I'm used to it. It's useful specially when you have to right click on something and then select an item with the left button.

The old, naïve `select`s all behave as expected (as they're usually native UI elements), but this `select2 ` thing does not work like this.

Hrm, I guess it's a bit ambiguous. Some folks say trending = busiest places nearby, others say places that are /unusually/ busy. Regardless of the semantics we've definitely found that the latter is more interesting.
This's clear that there has to be some algorithm sorting out the boring stuff like train stations and airports—some kind of 'movers & shakers' (trending), should be easy to implement.

This thread mentions already four other similar systems. There are probably lot more of them too. Has anyone done or seen indepth comparisons of them?
> It would be trivial to do some rudimentary parsing on the url string to determine where you really wanted to go

Specific to this point, a new project I'm building supports "pretty" URLs and I've found my (now) favourite solution is to build an aliases system.

It works like so: when a user creates an item an "alias" is registered, it's set to "current" and all future queries to that alias are logged. If the user causes a change to the URL in future (name change, etc.) then the new alias is registered but the old one is retained and 301s to the new alias. All aliases are accessible by the user and they can invalidate them manually (if they want to re-use an alias for example) however if an alias has had a large amount of hits from a single source since that alias was retired (say 50 referrals from website.com to mysite.com/previous-alias) the system assumes that the user posted the link on another website and so invalidating that alias will cause a dead link (and lose my site traffic) so it doesn't allow it.

I guess it's convoluted and adds extra overhead but I feel like if you have pretty URLs (which are in my opinion something that a website should aim for) you need to be in a position where they're not going to cause the site to break the rest of the internet. The easy solution is to have pseudo pretty URLs (eg: website.com/123-pretty-url, where 123 = ID and pretty-url is just an ignored string) or just not allow URLs to ever be changed, but I don't like either.

I wonder if any other websites have a good approach to this.

Julian Assange on Self Destructing Paper(http://web.archive.org/web/20071020051936/http://iq.org/):

The internet is self destructing paper. A place where anything written is soon destroyed by rapacious competition and the only preservation is to forever copy writing from sheet to sheet faster than they can burn.

If it's worth writing, it's worth keeping. If it can be kept, it might be worth writing. Would your store your brain in a startup company's vat? If you store your writing on a 3rd party site like blogger, livejournal or even on your own site, but in the complex format used by blog/wiki software de jour you will lose it forever as soon as hypersonic wings of internet labor flows direct people's energies elsewhere. For most information published on the internet, perhaps that is not a moment to soon, but how can the muse of originality soar when immolating transience brushes every feather?
With regards to Java itself, definitely check out Bruce Eckel's Thinking in Java (http://www.amazon.com/Thinking-Java-Edition-Bruce-Eckel/dp/0...). The 4th edition is the most current. However, previous ones are available for free here: http://www.mindviewinc.com/Books/downloads.html.

Another good introductory text is Head First Java (http://www.amazon.com/Head-First-Java-2nd-Edition/dp/0596009...).

In terms of frameworks, I would recommend checking out Play! (http://www.playframework.org/) for web applications. Spring is a bit more enterprise-y, it is also a good option (http://www.springsource.com/).

I think you're just upset because DNT might affect your income?

Tracking does not mean looking at server logs (or by analogy, reviewing security camera footage), it means things like cookies, Flash cookies, beacons and KISSmetrics.

Chances are DNT idea will have little effect. People raised issues with cookies back in the 1990's and in rerospect it hasn't impeded websites from tracking. People were forced to opt-in to cookies and everyone became desensitised to them over time. Now people don't even think about not accepting cookies. Tracking has gotten very aggressive though. Some of the behavioral tracking ideas are really pushing the limits.

DNT is hardly a draconian measure. Be glad that the web is still very much unregulated in comparison to meatspace.
You don't have to assume it, just look at the query plans! It's unlikely to be as simple as "IN bad, JOIN good".

There's a difference between a right that you are aware that you are giving in exchange for a service, and a right that you are unaware that you are giving. The way in which ad companies track users is so obscure that most people cannot be expected to be giving reasonable consent.

It just isn't viable to have unique passwords on all the different sites that require some sort of login, even with password tools. What if you have something you have to check on a computer where you can't use the tool, maybe not a internet café, but rather at a friends house. Or what if the database is somehow compromised? I don't just use one password everywhere, but I have a few different ones I can remember, some more random than others. If you combine this with different emails used to register, it's difficult to use the info if it's leaked on another site. Until we get a real universal "internet identity", this is the only way I can imagine walking around the internet.
is there anything being done to create some persistence? i would imagine a service like this would be useful. ex. small fee (10c) to publish 10kb of unicode, available indefinitely

edit: found this: http://www.chronicleoflife.com/ ... but i was thinking something to publish instead of simple backup

edit2: probably the only company i could trust to pull this off (one-time fee for publishing static content) would be amazon. it fits really well with their core business (infrastructure), and amazon is very good with long term stuff

You don't need a "framework" or a "platform", nor does the version matter at this stage. Download the JDK, use the javac command line compiler and your editor of choice, write some programs with the default APIs (e.g. Swing for GUIs, JSPs for websites, etc). When you start to write bigger programs, think about what you are finding difficult, then look for a "framework" that solves it.

"My app was downloaded over a gazillion times last month"

It's viable for me.

I'm at a friend's house and need to type my password into their computer? Never going to happen: they're likely not very good at securing their computer, and there's not a chance I'm going to risk compromising my password because I can't wait until I get home.

Besides: I have a smartphone with Chrome, I can use that.

I need all of my passwords with me? LastPass.
Well, the relevant search space when reversing a hash is the space of original passwords, and you do have to remember your master password. The attack to worry about with these systems is a website taking your generated password and maliciously reversing it to reveal your master password, not that someone will steal your hashed password from a database where it'll have been hashed again and stored securely, and then reverse it twice to reveal your original master password.

Their FAQ seems to say that they salt with other data before hashing, so they should at least be safe from precomputed lookup tables. I don't know how feasible it'd be to crack a hashed, salted password, but they'd probably be better off using blowfish or one of the other algorithms from the "Storing Passwords Securely" article which is now on the front page [1].

And I'm not sure why they mention using l33t-speak to protect your password from being reversed. That's just bizarre. The information on their website makes me worry that they may not know what they're doing, though maybe I'm just misinterpreting it.

Django is a single python package but is really fairly modular. You can readily use anything in lieu of it's ORM (e.g SQLAlchemy), anything for template rendering (e.g jinja), you're absolutely not forced to use the provided auth component (it's not even enabled by default) nor the admin (but the admin of course only works with django models).

Don't take my word for it, all of this is actually written in multiple places in the docs, tutorials and/or Django site, I can't remember. Here's an excerpt that exemplifies Django's philosophy (from [0]):

> Each view is responsible for doing one of two things: Returning an HttpResponse object containing the content for the requested page, or raising an exception such as Http404. The rest is up to you.

> Your view can read records from a database, or not. It can use a template system such as Django's -- or a third-party Python template system -- or not. It can generate a PDF file, output XML, create a ZIP file on the fly, anything you want, using whatever Python libraries you want.

> All Django wants is that HttpResponse. Or an exception.

> Because it's convenient, let's use Django's own database API, which we covered in Tutorial 1.

Indeed, Django components are incredibly convenient to use, and readily included, and officially supported. But they're completely optional.

By that standard, we should never develop any new technology, because in the process of developing ANY new technology (including wind power and solar power) you're going to generate some level of pollution, including most likely using fossil fuels. By your standard, we can never progress at all, and must eventually regress to a primitive state. If that had been followed, we could have NEVER developed solar panels, and so many other important, cleaner technologies.

Ask HN: So, does my startup need an office?
I am a man of two hats, my first hat revolves around a very established business. We have customers, battle scars and have been in the space for years. Its a great company to work for, although I am very senior, I am not the founder and I wasn't there at the beginning.

My second hat revolves around my startup Powered Now. We are a 5 person team spread over the globe. Our product is a business administration platform for the Field Services world, we are hoping to launch into private beta within a few weeks.

My established business is a bit of a hybrid. We have two offices in the UK and a distributed workforce of about 20 working at home. I really get to see both the advantages and disadvantages of office / home working. It works for us, but we have been doing this for a long time and I wonder if I am being blinded by the convenience factor.

With Powered Now I have a distributed team, half of us are in the UK the other half are based in Budapest, we try to meet up to work together once every 4 to 6 weeks. When we do its insanely productive, but I wonder if it would be better if we were under the same roof?

If you believe the guys at 37 signals home working is the way forward, and to some extent I believe them, its enabled us to go to the best people instead of hiring in a limited area. However I'd be interested in your stories, have you consolidated a team into an office, or did you do the reverse? Are our productive meetups that good because they are a relatively rare event or would it be like that every day? Also if you were founding a startup today, how would you do it?

I'd love to hear your stories and advice.

Thanks,

Ben
