That's pretty neat. I use Trello quite a bit but have some of these these reservations, so I just gave Teambox a look.

My initial impression is that it does way too much. There are a plethora of options and I just don't know what to do or what things are good for. Trello has more or less the right things in the right places and presents the right information. The learning curve is low and the usefulness high.

There are some things it does that I hypothetically like: for example, I think finding a way to cram ephemeral (not taking a burdensome place in the UI) but archived (for completeness) IRC-style conversations into Trello would be quite useful: sometimes the "activity" field is too heavy. I dislike the monolithic nature of Campfire rooms as well, so I think organizing chats around Trello cards is an intriguing concept.

All in all, I don't have a super complex and well-enriched bug database (that's elsewhere, and not really Trello's strength) in Trello, so if I had to move off, I'd take an afternoon or two or two and do it, although the upheaval to my planning would be annoying. The usability gains trump my leeriness of lock-in, but as a result I will probably never use particularly exotic features of Trello and constantly be looking for an open source replacement, even though I'm totally willing to fork over some dough for a hosted service.

My ideal would be if Trello.com made money hosting an open source Trello-the-project.

They are bullshitting you. Big companies can have rigid salary structures, but at a startup you have lower pay because that's what you accepted. The degree argument is a negotiating tactic to get you to accept lower pay.

That said, if you don't get a degree you will likely be fighting this battle over and over for the rest of your working life. And college is a lot more fun when you're the same age as your classmates.

Tourism != traveling

Tourists should keep their judgments to themselves. Traveling is about immersing yourself in the local culture, tourism is about observing it from a safe distance -- i.e. touring.

Making deep conclusions about the people of another culture while traveling around in hotels, eating at Pizza Hut (okay, just once!) and hopping around between tourist attractions and ashrams designed specifically to attract white people is like me trying to figure out if you would beat your wife, just by looking at your face. There is no correlation.

Show HN: Do project management in the pragmatic way
I agree with your assessment. Deploying into enterprise takes a good chunk of money to deal with the countless "last mile" issues. Also, you start needing an enterprise sales team. Even if you use the Atlassian model, there's limited space for that now, because they were basically expanding into vacuum. I don't have a great sense of how big the available market is for "enterprise development management tools", but if Github wants to win there, it's going to have to put some marketing & sales resources into taking away mindshare from Atlassian.

> Nobody would use it as it wouldn't have market share.

That's why I added the part about forking and contributing back. If it becomes part of the standard offering, then you don't have to worry about market share as much.

And especially if you get a portable implementation then the IE and Chrome teams might decide to adapt it in, since you've lowered the engineering cost.

> But that's besides the point. The behaviour is actually well defined

There's a good reason to not use Javascript, if there's an option to use another language in the browser, that has nothing to do with JS's quality itself: context switching. Node.js is popular due in no small part to the fact that you have to use JS anyways. The purpose of GWT, as far as I'm aware, is to make it so you have Java as an option in the client.

Misread the part about the GC. Sure you do need a GC when using C as an intermediate language. If done well, you can get long pieces of code with no need to touch the heap, and hopefully your backend (the C compiler in this case) will be able to optimize it, at least a little. I'm sure LLVM would do a lot better job there.

EURO2012 – DREAM TEAM
UEFA EURO 2012 Team of the Tournament
I have Compiled a 25 men in this tournament which deserves to be in the dream team. These are the Players who played

extraordinarily and have contributed in a substantial manner constantly during this entire Euro2012 championship.

Unsurprisingly, this dream team is subjugated with the players from the competing teams who had tasted the maximum

success in this tournament – majorly from team Spain winner of Euro2012 and then those players who helped their team

to reach the Semifinals.

> Apple and Google are fighting to make money on the backend from each tablet sold. Content distribution tax will likely propel one or both of them to new heights in revenue.

Not based on what we're seeing from Apple so far. Right now Apple make the vast majority of their money from hardware, relatively little from content. Google may have a different model (they're certainly not making anything if much from the Nexus 7 hardware) but the competition in the content market at the moment means that there's not a huge profit to be made there.

Python does (5) and it's pretty refreshing. I'm sure other languages with more elaborate type systems do as well, but it's nice to see in an ostensibly "scripty" language.

I think another interesting thing to note is that many languages that do make a distinction (at the type level) between integer types and floating point types (that is, ones like IEEE 754 floats with defined NaN and +/- Infinity behavior) do allow 1f / 0f [1], but raise an error on 1 / 0. Avoiding automatic type coercions (either between ints and floats or between floats and strings) would make it more clear what actually happens in that case.

Singleton Pattern in JavaScript
"Most of your time would still be spent in instances, with a maximum of 25 players (40 if you go back in time - a case whre less massive was deemed more fun). And that's ignoring the problem of actually rendering that much stuff on the client."

you haven't played Eve Online have you? Its a game that allows you to play, on the same "shard", with hundreds of players on grid at the same time, fighting it out.

Any tech that puts the massive back into MMO is good - lately, its all been instancing and sharding. That sort of game isn't MMO enough to make it MMO. In fact, i've been hearing lately, people calling Diablo 3 an MMO. What a farce.

Edit: oh, didn't you mentioned Eve already.

There are a whole load of reasons why we've not seen an iPhone Nano but primarily I think it's that a smaller screen is just a bad form factor for a smart phone. where the move is generally towards larger screens and the current iPhone screen is already seen by many as too small.

Beyond that there are a host of practical things - that getting everything into the existing phone at that size is already a challenge, battery life given the need for a far smaller battery, developers having to cope with another screen resolution.

Yeah postgres would fall down pretty fast on that workload without sharding, and it's the kind of ephemeral data that doesn't need ACID semantics.

Do you have a trial? Or other demo? I may be encountering those kinds of problems in the near future and would like to see whats out there. Right now Postgres is perfect for our workload but we've crafted the problem we're solving to avoid the realtime issue.
I'm surprised there was no discussion of weight. Fewer pixels and weaker GPU means the battery can get smaller, and it can get more comfortable in one hand, which is a crucial usability factor. I'm curious as to whether the weight will be competitive with the Fire or the Nexus; my guess is that the size and the glass will make it a bit heavier, but they could surprise us.
I strongly disagree on #1. If I hand you something to parse in any context and it isn't valid, I expect you to tell me it wasn't valid (the one big exclusion to this is HTML in the browser).

I weakly disagree on #2. There are cases where +Inf is valuable, but I've never seen it in the browser. That doesn't mean it doesn't exist in the browser, just that I think it is an error far more than it is expected.

I think #3 would need to exist because 1 and 2 are wrong.

I totally agree with #5. That little simplification is the source of endless subtle bugs.

And #6 is an interesting one. I think it is related to #5, though. A language should first and foremost be consistent. If it automatically coerces in some conditions, it probably should in all[1].

Not sure I like the term `gamification` as a word for client retention - sounds too manipulative and underhand for what it is. Like gaming somebody, or playing somebody - that type of contextual angle. But that may be a cultural thing being British.

That said in the way it's outlined it is maybe better than the old "carrot and stick" approach, which is in effect what it is. Suppose in many ways it is getting word of mouth and making it marketable. If you have a good product then the customers will come and stay, though if you make drastic changes to gain new clients/customers you may alienate your existing clients/customer base. No golden solution to be found here.

I really wish people would clarify what they mean by "free market" -- whether they mean unregulated (a politician's free market) or competitive (an economist's free market). If you are saying that there are no examples of monopolies in competitive markets, that's because it would be a contradiction in terms. If you're saying that all monopolies are created and enforced by governments, then that's just flat-out false. Pepsi and Coke dominate the industry of selling pop due to branding; the only "government enforcement" of their domination is that you can't brand your own pop so that it would be easily confused with Coke. Same with Microsoft -- the US government never threatened to jail you if you don't run Windows, but Windows had a monopoly on the desktop market for a while and it's only recently begun to show cracks.

I would go so far as to say: governments themselves are "free-market monopolies" in this sense. That is, there is no binding unilateral authority which solves intergovernmental disputes, and each government instead has to negotiate with other governments in an open and unregulated forum where even backstabbing and flagrant contract violations are permitted. If governments are monopolies on power, then the market of power is surely not a well-regulated one.

While I agree with you, all the Ricoh printers in our company have a VM installed.

And I can tell you that a well known mobile company originally from UK, available in most European countries, makes use of Java for Smartcards on their SIM cards.

You made your math wrong. Nowadays, specially if we put outsourcing in the equation, hiring Java developers is way cheaper than hiring C developers, specially since many universities don't teach C any longer.
Give me a solid alternative and I'll stop using Google search. Until then, don't care if Google is a 'natural monopoly' - it does absolutely everything I want it to do and I occasionally click on advertisements from which they profit. It's a mutually beneficial relationship and I see no reason to switch. Net positive.

I'll sign up with Github to post this bug if it actually is a bug and not just my ignorance, but this is still not working from the original release:

I get a RuntimeException "EOF while reading".

It works from a regular repl and it's the first line in a project I wrote a while ago - so having Lighttable fail almost immediately for no obvious reason is leaving a bad taste.

Also the installation/updating was quirky and broke three times (downloaded it fully twice), and it launches Firefox, which gives me a blank+grey screen so I have to launch Chromium and that works well.

Does this fail for anybody else? Are there any other issues I should be skirting at the moment? I haven't encountered any others.

I've looked, but is there a better forum for Lighttable than the comments section of hacker news?

Google releases Android 4.1 Jelly bean source code
I'm finding articles on forbes.com to be overly padded with uneeded and unwanted negatives with no relavance.

The article has a great subject and a worthy one to mention as its and achivement but instead spends most of its time explaining all the bad things somebody grepped from a wiki article. "Most people don’t know that Romania is more than just the murderous Communist dictator who was beheaded in 1989. It was also featured in a November 4, 1994 Seinfeld episode, " being a case of well we don't know nor care as has nothing to do with this IPO.

Would they explain a facebook IPO as something done by a load of people who turned up on indian shores without greencards back many years ago.... No as it has no relevance whatsoever.

This is a horribly written article!

Almost the entire first page is spent on telling the reader some ancient facts about Romania as if it's a newly discovered continent. It kinda tries to force some history into context but it's generally really bad.

Second, you have much more transparency in Romania for companies, even if they are privately held. So this quote is rather pointless and shows no homework was done:

> Although it’s privately-held, Talpes told me that it employs 670 people — 10% more than in 2011. Publicly-traded competitor, AVG (AVG), has $295 million in revenues and 870 employees — $339,000 in revenues per employee — and a net profit margin of 32%.

You can totally look online[1,2,3] for informations on the Bitdefender company and see that, for example, in 2010 it has about 30 million euro in revenue (so that's about 45,000 euro per employee) and a net profit of only 250,000 euro which means a margin of 0.7%. (PS: I would love to learn how they managed to pay so little taxes!)

I think an IPO is a good idea, but I would love if Romania would start to be known for something other than antivirus solutions. The other big thing we had was the sale or RAV (Romania Anti Virus) to Microsoft in the early 2000s.

BTW, an IPO is a big thing here because generally we don't use the stock market to finance companies. We use banks, which also explains why our companies aren't that innovative.
