An interesting article, perhaps it's time to buy a tablet (I've been waiting for it to become more productive).

I'm out of touch now, but used to experiment a lot with various synthesizers (soft and hard) in the 90's, I wonder how good the new soft ones are.

I hope the article's obvious mistakes do not reflect on its main points too seriously. E.g. - "Propellerhead makes ReBirth for all iOS devices, a new version of its ground-breaking analogue sequencing software that helped to kick off the electronic music revolution."[1]

[1] Huh? Did he just confuse ReBirth with Roland's TB303 and Tr808/909? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GYYZILDafL0
Interesting to see how many 5 chars are available. But a godaddy referal? Really?

> Even then, just because you have money doesn't mean you need not think about how to spend it

It didn't say that. I said it makes no sense no ponder over something for years. Better to earn money where he's good at earning money, and get the extra three years utilisation and enjoyment from what he wants to buy.
Microsoft has a development center in Copenhagen. I believe they develop the Dynamics CRM product there. Here's a list of open engineering positions as of today:

Good luck!
This is definitely the big issue with iOS music apps. There is a lot of potential there, but unfortunately, doing anything serious is no fun at the moment, because you can't beat having proper hardware to control the real world interfaces apps try to emulate.

I've got a fair few synths for the iPad which I use with a akai 25-key controller, but even with that, knob-twiddling is really fiddly when trying to get sounds.

Would be good to see more apps trying to play to the touch interface's strengths. Figure from Propellerhead is a good example of something with a more thoughtful UI. A good Kaoss-pad like sampler/effect manipulator could also be really cool.
I love John Siracusa's OS X reviews, but they too are subjective, like all reviews are. Saying a person's opinion is subjective is like saying he or she has a perspective. Everybody has a perspective, you can't escape yours.

A review cannot be more or less subjective, it can only be good or bad, which in turn, is also subjective. So consider that: the next time you call someone's review subjective, you are making a subjective review of that person's subjective review. But that's much better than calling someone's review "objective", because at least you're making sense.

Ask HN: where would you host a SmartOS instance?
There are many great hosting companies I used but none of the support SmartOS. Actually I would only need help with installation, nothing else. Also, I don't see SmartOS instances on AWS, I would consider that also.
I'm joint EU and Australian - so that's probably why I had the points system in my head. There's no points system for the first three months. There are, however, restrictions on EU citizens after three months, as you need a registration certificate. As far as I can see, you can get this if you're either employed, able to fend for yourself while studying, or are filthy rich.
That is like saying: Since we can't cool something to absolute 0 Kelvin, all termometers are valueless.

You have to look at how wrong things are, too..

If I wrote a review of a game in my favorite sport where my home team played, it would not be objective. And another review by me of a sport I don't care about, between teams I don't know, might not be objective either (if women play, one team might be better looking. Or whatever.).

But those reviews would not be EQUALLY subjective...

For another example, consider evolutional biology. Some people have a deep and emotional connection to the scientific model -- while some other people have emotional connections to political ideologies...

Sorry, but you pressed one of my buttons.
> Scott just reminded them that they'll be screwed at some point, and he's here to help.

Problem is: he doesn't know how to help, yet people are going to trust him because they don't know better. I'd bet they are going to store their users' password on an Excel spreadsheet, but they will take care to backup it often ;-)

There is LastPass already, and they are doing a great job. Competition is good, but why should we support clueless competitors?

That said, I'd bet MySocialCloud.com will succeed. Worse is better, isn't it? And now they have lots of money.

It seems to repeat the last page ad infinitum. E.g. I’m on “V”, and once you scroll down past “veury.com” it just repeats from “veour.com.” I was also hoping to browse “vec∗” domain names, and they seem to be missing from the index entirely.
Quite negative shitty comments guys... sorry to say
It was that or the weather :)
I find referrals scummy when somebody is presenting a recommendation because you don't know if they're just interested in the reward or not. That's not what this is though. It's a tool to find domains, and whether there is a referral code or not doesn't change the validity of that domain name. It's just some payback to the dev for providing a free service.

Or perhaps I'm misunderstanding why you are against referral codes in tools like this.

Very few developers are even aware that version numbers were removed so I don't think it's had any real effect on developer confusion. It's probably made it worse. This article complains about WebWorkers which was proposed in 2009 but with the way standards evolve it's hard to know what capabilities it has. Meanwhile Firefox has a solid implementation of CSS calc() but not WebWorkers (which I believe they came up with).
I'll take a gander :) The infinite scroll code is pretty minimal, so there's likely to be more holes than that :-P

How to burn cd dvd using windows 7
I can't help but imagine that there are some interesting stories that will come out. When msnbc was created, it was when MS and NBC were both kings of the world. Seinfeld, ER, and some other shows were incredibly popular, Windows was bulldozing everything and NT was taking hold in a big way, it looked unstoppable. I remember being worried about MS taking control of media content and that looked effectively like an end game. Why would you run Linux or Mac if the hottest content was only on Windows? I honestly believe that was the plan too, but it didn't turn out. Next thing you know, msnbc is just another news channel among the many, trying to stand out. Has to be some great culture clash stories.

Whoops, it was still using the six-char search. If that's what you're referring to, it's been resolved.
Are you being intentionally obtuse?

You were talking about "wanting to be around because of a person's fame or money" being just another reason to be around. The "You like your friends; you like the rich guy's money" is just a way of restating your apparent original claim.

So coming back and saying, well, Steve Jobs is interesting, is missing by a mile what you're responding to.
Isn't a "free trade" supposed to be about making it as easy as possible to make as many exchanges with other countries as a "free trade". How are they getting away with putting more and more restrictions and still calling it a "free trade" agreement, if it goes the opposite direction?

Leap Motion's High-Res NUI Will Make Today's Touch A 'Legacy'
Hey might be referring to the fact that people don't like GoDaddy very much given the recent bashings and mass exodus to NameCheap :)
Because of their supporting/co-sponsoring SOPA. I’m not expressing an opinion here, it’s just probably what sturob is referring to.

Or their CEO killing elephants, or their sexist advertising. Yeah, I guess there’s plenty to choose from from the hate jar, even if you think they were punished enough for SOPA.
Interestingly, this could also be the 5 most important parts of programming as well.
This fails to mention the most useful part of the "baby cart":

"Greetings @{[ get_planet() ]}lings, we come in peace!"

Evaluating functions directly inside of a string. It's sort of alluded to with "@{[ keys %hash ]}", but in doesn't come right out and say it.
It's not the referral. I'm pretty sure that's understood, accepted, and in many cases like this, encouraged.

The issue is who the referral is with: GoDaddy.

Depends who you ask, it is always the insecure "religious" people who tend to perceive other people's lack of superstition as threatening, hence antireligious.
In my experience it has helped reduce confusion, I dont see how it could possibly make it worse, unless you count the confusion as developers begin to realise how the web evolves as 'worse', I dont.

As said, browser vendors are have no governing body that force them to implement exact specifications at exact times, I dont see how putting a version number on html and pretending that they do is anything but confusing.

Import and export of currency – Moldova’s rules for individuals
"it seems a little backwards that the merchant is paying the cash processing fee" as every bank charges them. And every trip to the bank with the cash, or every armored card run to take it in.

I hate how people act like cash is costless. Cash is annoying, dirty, dangerous, and expensive. Perhaps not as much as credit cards, but places don't really honestly do the math much of the time.

Was there a point to your comment? A rebuttal? A... anything? Fed up of people on HN just trying to be the smartest guy in the thread through odd means, disagreeing being one. The guy made a helpful contribution to the thread, don't give him a hard time for doing so, or worse, calling him under qualified

Worse of all its just not nice, you might have inferred from his comment he isn't qualified to x, what do you think people inferred from your comment, about you?
BAM! That is a steal. Thanks for sharing :)
When I first saw that Graffiti, I thought it would take a big investment of time to adjust my writing style. As I recall, I was able to get by with just adjusting the way I wrote a half dozen characters or so, and just printed the way I had learned as a kid. This was sufficient for the small notes I entered into the Palm.

For all of the coolness of the iPhone, I don't enter notes into it often. The little type-writer kind of feels unwieldy. It is usable, and it may just be my perception (comparing typing on a full size keyboard to typing on the on-screen iPhone version). Makes my kind of miss Graffiti and using a stylus.
Or fake at least.

Whether to sign up to the TPP is NZ's decision, but agreeing to it cedes power beyond just copyright, so withdrawing from it later is harder.

If NZ were to withdraw from the Berne Convention now, they would only suffer from the consequences in the realm of copyright. TPP appears to bundle several disparate things together, so there is serious leverage for others to prevent withdrawal if the treaty turns out to be significantly disadvantageous to NZ.
Yeah I've seen that phenomenon, oh, about never on HN.

I think the actual problem is that umping to a specific letter breaks the infinite scroll. Jumped to 'S' looking for some relevant domains for a side project but it keeps looping through maybe 50 or so domains. Is it looping through all of the 'S' domains it knows or is it just broken? If it's the first then it'd be better to end the infinite scroll if it reaches the end of all options for the specific letter I selected from top menu.
True. But what the iPad brings to the table is mobility.

And given that creativity can come at any time you are far more likely to be near to your iPad then your desktop.
Because some of those devices are cheap and sell (see the Kindle Fire as one example - massive sales, really not great - and yes I know it's a fork but it's still Android at it's heart).

Does that make Android crap? Obviously not but it does mean that there a hundreds of thousands, if not millions of people who have that perception (and are right because for them it has been crap).

Excluding the crap ones is no more a representative picture of things than excluding the good ones would be. Android is the sum total of all devices running with all the good (huge numbers, some great devices out there) and bad (fragmentation and massive variation in quality) that that entails.
Blackrock (and others) Paid Analysts for Insider Information
Couple key quotes:

"As one of the largest payers of trading commissions to Wall Street, BlackRock is a client that brokerage firms want to please to keep those commissions flowing. For a period during 2008 and 2009, the firms participating in an expanded survey received cash based on their results.

...One of the company’s survey questions, titled “earnings surprise direction,” asks analysts whether a company’s coming profits “are more likely to surprise on the upside or downside.” Another asks: “Do you think the current consensus earnings forecast” for a specified period “will likely move upwards or downwards?”

A more recent question involves takeovers: “How likely is it that the company will be taken over in the next 6 months?”

... A 2009 document on the firm’s analyst surveys is even more explicit. “We are trying to front-run recs,” it said, referring to trading ahead of analysts’ recommendations."

I remember Danmark had issues with skilled human resource leakage, (partly) because of high taxes. So maybe they enhanced the immigration laws a bit, for easy "importing" skilled workforce.

I don't like the split between front and back end development. There are always some stuff that have to be done and are somewhere in between front and back-end, which developer will get to do it?

Yes, there are differences definitely. Some don't like mingling with jQuery and other JS stuff. Some don't like Java or Python or whatever on the back-end is used.

But some people do the whole thing, code from front-end to back-end and vice versa. They call themselves full stack developers.
based on your attempt at embedded HTML, I'd say just shut up and do it.

Depends on what you mean by verve, but I know some atheists who are perfectly happy with the Unitarian Universalist church they go to. Plenty of interesting people, a variety of social activities, a good place for their kids. They love it.

I know some other atheists who go to a weekly Buddhist meditation group and they are pretty involved with that community as well. I went by for a couple of sits and it seemed like a great place to meet people. They were all quite sincere and passionate about what brought them together. More so than in many Christian churches I've visited, where a lot of the people are more Christian-by-default than in any particularly thoughtful way.

Having done a bit a of freelancing, to me it just sound that at some point in that project you should just have cut your loss and move out of it.

Being a freelancer you get 2 big advantages, you can choose when you take holidays, and you can choose what project you want to work on (it seems to me you failed at taking advantages of either one). Maybe you should have been more direct and say I'm going to take a week off and your project will wait.

What you describe look to me as a typical inexperienced freelancer (don't take it the wrong way, we are all inexperienced when we start) agreeing on deadlines that can't be done, without a good team, and without taking the steps to get a better communication around this company, (your were the lead if I am not mistaken).

You have a lot to think about, a lot to learn from it, try to think at each point of failure and what you would have do different!

But I will agree with the some of the guys here, since this post clearly put you in a bad light, I would not have post it, I would personally remove it.
Facebook Boosts Antirius Offering To Users To Fight Malware
Fully agree with your comments (although not particularly with the indexedDB ones)

I see the problem is that we have built up the web to be a place to trust software, while someone may be able to steal my password, I know that a web app isnt going to be able to wipe my hard drive. That is mostly because right now web apps have little privileges to actually do anything (and even with those little privileges we have still been plagued with xss / csrf attacks)

I fully agree that we need to have lower level API's in place so users can build technology from the bottom up, but I think before that happens we need to build the parts of the platform that allow that access without leaving users open to abuse.

This is happening right now with b2g, since it has a mail client there is mozTcpSocket being exposed, however obviously not every web app is going to have access, and afaik it will only be exposed to signed / trusted applications. But I am excited to see the ball rolling.
Yeah, I think you could combine a number of existing services to make a network- email, twitter, HN, github, a linking service (this github profile = this twitter account) and an address book service would get you going for a dev network. The challenge would be to combine the data meaningfully, but I think the basics can be done. Plus, your address book amd email could be private services.
The only other suggestion I have is to keep it basic but broad, like Multimedia Developer.
Monkeypatching Pandora

As a music producer myself I would NEVER use a tablet for making music. It would be a nightmare to do postproduction and anyway you can't connect any pro soundcard. But an app that could export some midi partitions that I would write would be pretty cool. So I can write melodies on the go and then produce when I'm back in the studio. Even better, an app made by a music software company (Steinberg, Ableton, etc) that would directly sync with your projects on your desktop with a cloud service or something would be amazing but also very complicated to operate as your desktop may have lots of customisation such as VSTs and others.
